---Chapter 19---
---Valentines and the Calm before the Storm----
Weeks passed and soon the 14th of February hit the school. During the weeks Harry had stayed in the Slytherin dorm and became friends with the Slytherins, including the children of the death eaters. He found he could talk to them as easily as he talked to the twins, Rose, and Adrien. As he, Draco, and a few other Slytherins walked into the Great Hall they all stopped and there eyes became wide with shock.
The Great Hall had been decorated with red, pink, and white drapes, flowers, hearts, and cupids flying around along with a giant heart floating in the middle of the room. The tables had roses and carnations on them and were decorated with different Valentine things.
"What in the Seven Wonders of the World is going on?" Rose said as she and Adrien walked in.
"Albus thought it would be a good idea to have a Valentine's Day thing for the whole day," Severus said walking up to the group.
"You've got to be kidding me that man has finally gone off his rocker" Harry said.
"He went off it way before this," Rose added and the two siblings laughed before heading to their sitting areas. Harry had also taken to sitting with the Slytherins as on the first day of school after Christmas break the other Gryffindors all glared at Harry daring him to sit with them, minus the twins who had shrugged their shoulders in helplessness.
Harry and Draco were talking about their different training when Dumbledore walked in, in pink and red robes. Both boys stared before stifling their laughter at how ridiculous Dumbledore looked in his outfit.
"Now taking a leaf out of Lockhart's book for when he was here, I've decided to organize a Valentine's Day where you send cards to those you like or love. Have a great lovely day." Dumbledore said. Harry looked up at Rose and she was making some gagging motions because of what Dumbledore said.
The day passed slowly by and during different times of the day cupids flew in and dropped off either flowers or letters to different students and sometimes teachers. Harry and Severus both got each other a single rose, of course they didn't have a cupid deliver them though, and Kuro was given that task which he happily did.
No one knew who the rose came from for Severus, and Severus was happy to keep it that way. Although if you had only one serpagon in the school and a rose was delivered by a serpagon, let's just say that a few questions would've been asked provided that Harry hadn't cast a transfiguration charm on Kuro to change him into a black raven temporarily when he delivered the rose to Severus and Severus changed him into a black owl to deliver Severus's rose to Harry.
Harry and Draco sat in Rose's office after their classes and saw her just staring out the window as Severus entered along with Adrien, Kuro, and the twins. A tenseness was in the air most of it around Rose and Harry could feel it and wondered what would trouble his sister so much that she would be tense about.
"The calm before the storm..." Rose said turning to look at the group.
"Huh?" Everyone asked.
"The one in Japan, that was sealed up, he is out, and I fear he is heading this way, this is the calm before the storm, he will hit when we least expect it, I don't want any of you to get involved alright?"
"But why, what if we could help you?" Harry asked as Severus sat next to him and wrapped his arm around Harry's waist.
"Not with this one, he will hit hard and fast, and I fear he will not hesitate to kill those that get in his way, I don't want any of you dying at his hands or at all."
"But Draco and I have been trained, can't we help you?"
"Not with him Harry, Adrien and I have will have to face him, if not both of us then just me."
"But I just got you back; I don't want to lose you!"
"I know Harry; this is something that can't be helped though."
Rose went back to staring out the window as it began raining and Adrien said that they were dismissed. The group headed out and split up heading in different directions, except Harry and Severus who were heading to Severus's room for a romantic dinner for two. The conversation between Rose and the group however did not leave their mind and there was one sentenced that continually ran through their heads.
'This is the calm before the storm, he will hit when we least expect it.'
