After a few hours of sleep, a shower, and him trying to neatify his hair, Jack grabbed his gift to Elisa and was about to head down when he spotted her Valentine to him.

Getting an idea, he grabbed his writing equipment and wrote a reply.

After going over it he placed it in an envelope, stuck it to the gift and headed down stairs to the great hall.

In there, there was a mix of emotions to the decorations but Jack was sure they were much better than they would have been if Lockhart had been in charge.

Looking along Ravenclaw's table he could see Elisa along with her friends.

Wanting to get this over with quickly but not wanting her friends to butt in on him, Jack looked for Luna to be postman.

Luckily she was coming into the room as he was looking for her.

"Luna, I need a favour please," he said liking the heart-looking-radishes she as earrings.

"Yes Jack?" she asked in a voice that made Jack think she already new but wanted him to say it.

"Could you please give this gift and letter to Elisa Dale, but not tell her it is from me?" he asked showing her the present.

"But do you not want her to know it's from you?" she asked confused.

"That's for her to work out," he said telling himself he really needed to ask Cupid why those were the rules of his holiday.

"Alright then," she said smiling and taking it to her table and Jack went to his.

At the Ravenclaw table Elisa's friends had been going on about all the cards and presents they've already gotten so far today and it's just the start of the morning.

"This isn't a competition girls," she said looking at Cindy and Alix (the girl with red hair).

"Excuse me…" Luna's voice spoke out making them look up to see her with a present and a note "This is for you Elisa, only the person who is giving it to you said not to say who they were."

Elisa took the gift having a feeling she knew who it was already due to the blue wrapping paper.

She read the note first.

.

'With hair that shines like the snow

And pretty ice blue eyes, which are best

I look at you and wonder

Just how to you can I impress

Yes your valentine I will be

Our love can be so true

Together for all eternity

My heart belongs to you.'

.

Everyone within ear shot aww…ed at the poem and asking who it was from, but Elisa ignored them and opened the present which turned out to be a medium sized blue cushion in the shape of a heart decorated in different snowflakes, and a small box of chocolates.

Smiling Elisa hugged the cushion and looked over to the Gryffindor table smiling as she saw Jack duck down trying to act like he hadn't been watching.

"I'm just going to put this on my bed," she said to her friends, picking up the chocolates and standing up "See you in class." and she left.

Over with Jack he was welcoming Harry who had come in late and looking a little sleepy.

"What's going on?" he asked sitting down pouring himself some cereal.

Ron who didn't look too impressed at the whole thing pointed his head to the teachers table where Dumbledore stood up to give his morning notices.

"Happy Valentine's Day students," he said calmly "As it turns out a couple of our students last night put this together for you. And if it turns out we all like it perhaps we might do the same next year." he paused to let some of the light cheers from the girls die down.

"I've been told by these students that should anyone want to send cards or gifts to another today, need only to write one, place it in an envelope with the person's name on it, and leave it out in the open." Dumbledore said not explaining how that would help.

All day long students kept finding new Valentines cards and gifts in their bags and on their beds in their dormitories when they go up for breaks.

On their way to Charms, Ron was asking how Jack could possibly be taking this so well.

"All this lovey-dovey stuff everywhere just makes me feel sick," he said shooing away a couple of first years who were showing each other their cards.

"Hey if these student's hadn't interfered just think how much worse it would be with Lockhart in charge." Jack said spotting a cherub just put something in Harry's bag. "Speaking of which have you guy got anything yet?"

"Nope. Well there wasn't anything in here when I checked earlier," Harry said checking again, Ron didn't seem to care.

Double checking, Harry found he did indeed have something, and pulled it out.

The envelope had a warning on it saying 'Singing Valentine' so Harry said he would look at it later.

"What's this I see?" came the cold dull voice of Draco Malfoy behind them "Harry Potter has received a Valentine?" he asked snatching it from the boy's hand.

"Give that back Malfoy!" Jack said trying to get it back. "Just because you haven't got one doesn't mean you can snatch them off of others!"

A small crowd was forming which included Annie Dale and Ginny Weasley.

"When I had a look…" the Slytherin said ripping the envelope and opening the card before Jack, Ron, or Harry could stop him.

A voice of a young girl started to sing out the message:

.

'His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad

His hair is as dark as a blackboard

I wish he was mine, he's very divine

The hero who concurred the Dark Lord'

.

Embarrassed Harry snatched the card away from Malfoy, who was laughing so hard he had to be held up by Goyle who was also laughing with Crabbe, stuffed the card back into his bag and went off to Charms.

Percy was coming over to get the students to move along just as Jack punched Draco in the nose and tackled him to the floor.

"JACK!" the eldest Weasley as Hogwarts cried out as he came and pulled him off of Malfoy who was holding his nose muttering about telling his Father about this.

Shaking Percy off not caring about what his supposed punishment was or how many points he might have just lost, Jack went looking for Ginny who had turned as red as her hair and ran off as soon as the Valentine started singing.

Thankfully Annie was with him, and seeing how such good friends she and Ginny were, she had a good idea on where Ginny might be hiding.

"Ginny?" Jack called out gently as he and Annie came into the hallway just before the kitchens.

"Go away Jack…" Ginny's voice said from behind a stack of barrels. "I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone right now."

"You don't have to talk," Jack said sitting down against the wall "Annie and I just wanted to check that you were alright."

"I'm fine!" she said sniffing a little.

"Ginny, I used to have a little sister," Jack said smiling a little "And now I have a an older sister," he said thinking of Tooth "And I know for a fact, that if girls say 'they're fine' that means something's wrong"

Ginny stayed quiet.

"If it makes you feel the littlest bit better," Annie said trying to cheer up her friend "Jack punched Malfoy in the nose so hard it gave him a nosebleed and then tackled him to the ground until Percy came to break up the fight."

"That does make me a little better," Ginny said sniffing the sound of a smile in her voice "But not enough to come out of hiding just yet."

"Well then, Annie, you go to class and tell your teacher what happened," Jack said checking his watch "And Baby Tooth, you stay here and look after her ok?" he told the fairy who nodded and went over to Ginny hugging the girl's face the best she could.

"I'll come back after Charms to make sure you're alright," he continued to where Ginny was, getting "Promise."

"Thanks Jack" she said as he and Annie left.
