When Hestia Jones was eleven years old, she despised the colour pink with great passion. It was a colour that automatically screamed girly, love and fluffy bunnies.
As she walked into the Great Hall with her black plaits moving side to side, she stalled before letting out an audible groan. On her way in, Gilderoy Lockhart attempted to peck her cheek which she responded with a sharp kick to his shin before heading over to Dorcas Meadowes at the Gryffindor table.
It was Valentine's Day and at Hogwarts. This made her hate the colour ten times more because at Hogwarts, the colour was splashed everywhere and there were girls giggling everywhere, not to mention the couples snogging.
She went to pick up a piece of toast before she dropped it with a sour look. The food was even bloody pink. "This is disgusting," she told Dorcas. Her usually cheerful, happy tone was replace with one that only implied complete revoltion.
"I agree, my friend," Dorcas replied. "It looks like a vagina everywhere I walk."
This lifted Hestia's mood a little and she gave a small laugh, shaking her head. She then turned at the feel of two fingers tapping her shoulders and saw Fabian Prewett standing in front of her.
He quickly thrusted a red envelope in her hands with a shy look upon his face before practically sprinting out of the large wooden doors.
Extremely surprised, she shared a look with Dorcas before she open the seal of the envelope and folding back the flap. She pulled out a heart-shaped card and heard Dorcas laugh, causing her to be forced into elbowing the brunette in the ribs.
After reading it quickly, Hestia unwillingly blushed. She may have still hated pink, but what he gave her... kind of made her like Valentine's Day.
