A month has passed since the classes started again. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. The only difference is that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was taught by Professor Snape, which revived the rumour that Snape was the one who kicked out Professor Quirrell. Also, Harry noted that his house leader has been putting attention on his moves.

It was Friday morning, and Harry woke up early, so he read a book. At his side, there was a sack of candies. Although Harry is not too fond of candies himself. He likes some, but he is not a fanatic like some others residents of Nazarick. He knew of the power that small gifts can have on people's psyches.

He has earned the trust of the whole Slytherin house, he has not won the approval of the other houses, but that does not mean that they looked at him like an enemy. Maybe only the Gryffindor house, who are still under the prejudice that Slytherin is the house of the bad people.

Harry sighed, "How is it possible that a whole community still believe that the world is divided between Black and White? Good and Evil?" though the Suzuki heir.

The first to get down after Harry was Millicent Bulstrode, who was followed by Daphne Greengrass. Harry turned to them and took two small chocolates from the sack. He walked close to them before they could leave the Slytherin common room.

"Before you go. Please accept this", Harry said while giving them a bar of small chocolate to the two. "Happy Valentine's Day".

Harry walked back to his seat and continued reading. Millicent and Daphne were confused but accepted the chocolate and walked outside the common room.

Goyle and Crabbe walked outside the boy's dormitory and decided to sit next to Harry. They were still half asleep. "Why do the classes have to start too early?" asked Crabbe to no one. Goyle nodded to him.

"You think this is early? I know that in some countries, Muggles and Wizard schools start at 7am and some even at 6am", said Harry.

"What? Really?" asked the two bodyguard kids. Draco who was just arriving covered his ears, "You don't have to scream".

"I guess we are all here. Should we go to the Great Hall for breakfast?" asked Draco. The question was open to all of them, but the answer they really wait was from Harry.

Other students from higher years started to pass. Harry looked in the direction of the stairs that leads to the girls' dormitory. He sighed, "I guess".

Before leaving, Harry took the sack and took three bars of chocolates and gave it to Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. Draco took it confused, but Crabbe and Goyle did not give too much thought and thanked him before eating it.

When they arrived at the Great Hall, the three started to talk about their next classes. Harry threw some small chocolates at the Slytherin Quidditch team when they arrived.

Flint sat close to Suzuki and looked at the chocolate. He saw that other players also received the same chocolate, "Why is the occasion, Suzuki?"

"Well, is Valentine's Day", answered simply Harry. Draco turned to see him as if he grew a second head, "Shouldn't you give this to your lover?"

"and friends and family", said Harry, but then he turned to see that Draco and Flint looked at him with one eyebrow up. "I don't know-how is done here. It seems it's different from each culture. Tradition may vary," concluded Harry.

"Is this the Dark Lord my father was waiting?" thought Draco. But then he turned to see Greengrass and Bulstrode. The two girls now are looking over Harry. Draco saw Daphne, and he could see why he would want to do that. Then again, Bulstrode was also looking at him, and the image of her kissing him made him want to puke. Before continuing eating, Draco looked at the Gryffindor table, only to see that Granger was leaving the Hall alongside a guy.

.

Pansy woke up a little late. Still, she took her time to take care of herself. She brushed her hair put on some skin cream and a little perfume; that was her daily routine. She was getting dressed for the day ahead but stopped when she saw the necklace Harry had given her for Christmas. The gift was kept in her personal trunk, which has different enchantments to ensure that no one could open it except her.

She took the necklace and saw herself in the mirror wearing it. A small smile grew on her face, and her cheeks went pink, but she woke up and realized that she was still in the girls' dorm and turned around. When she sighed after she realized that she was alone.

Walking to the great hall, Pansy saw that the Granger girl was walking alongside a Gryffindor boy. "So, now that everyone knows that she is a Half-blood she has friends", thought Pansy.

Hermione realized that Pansy was looking at her, and she looked back at her. The eye contest only lasted a few seconds before Hermione said, "Let's go, Dean. We need to go for our books". Pansy rolled her eyes and continued her walk to the Great Hall.

Once she entered the Hall, she took a seat close to Bulstrode and in front of Greengrass. She took a small biscuit and a cup of tea to start her day. Then she turned and realized that Greengrass was looking at her with a smirk.

With a sigh, Pansy asked, "Tell me what happened?"

"Oh, nothing really. It is just that you are the only one left out", said Daphne trying to sound superior. "Almost everybody has received a small token of appreciation from Potter. Everyone except you", concluded Greengrass, and she showed the small chocolate she received from Harry.

The chocolate was a small ball wrapped in paper made of gold, and between the chocolate and the gold wrapper was plain paper to protect it from metal contamination.

Pansy turned to see Millicent. She nodded at Pansy and showed her the paper. The big girl from Slytherin eat the chocolate almost right away, but Daphne saves it. When Pansy turned to see the rest of the table, she saw that some had the same paper next to them, and others were starting to eat the chocolate.

Pansy frowned and took the necklace with one hand. Then two arms appeared around her and put a big box of chocolates in front of her. The chocolate box was in a beautiful scarlet green, and in the centre was a ribbon with a small but beautiful green rock. When she turned around, she saw Harry standing behind her.

"Happy Valentine's Day", said Harry with a smile. After that, he walked outside the Hall. Behind Harry was Draco, who was just shaking his head while caressing his forehead.

Pansy took her gaze back. "A demantoid garnet?" whispered Greengrass, with wide eyes open. Pansy took the laze of the ribbon carefully and then opened the box. Inside the box were different chocolates that looked delicious. And a note was over the chocolates.

I don't know your favourite chocolate flavour, so I asked for multiple flavours to be in this box. Do not worry, I am not crazy enough to buy from Bertie Borts.

Hope you like it.

Sincerely.

Harry Suzuki

While reading, Pansy slapped Millicent's hands, who tried to take one of the chocolates.

The whole table saw the box Pansy received, and they took it as the last proof they needed. In their heads, there was no doubt anymore. Pansy and Harry were a couple.

So far, the idea of Pansy being treated as the Slytherin first year princess has started to grow. Around Pansy, it's always the kids of the most prominent families. And with the current statement, it can be shown that Harry took Pansy very seriously.

Pansy herself has not noticed how the other students see her and only turned to see Daphne and smirked at her.

.

The classes passed with nothing major to describe, or so Harry thought. Some couples hid in some broom closets, and others were wide open kissing in the hallways. Professor McGonagall only separated the couples with warnings, but Professor Snape is the one that took points of the houses. That day, Hufflepuff lost many points.

On Harry's way to transfiguration class, he found Hermione and Dean. Harry was followed only by Crabbe, and both went to say hi to Hermione and Dean. Crabbe has never had any problem with anyone in the school, and from Harry's perspective, Crabbe could be described as a go-with-the-flow guy. Which meant that Crabbe had no problem with Dean or that they are Gryffindors.

"How's been your day so far?" asked Harry to the two of them. Hermione only shrugged and said, "normal, I guess".

"Hilarious", said Dean. "Did you know that a girl from Hufflepuff was coughed several times in the broom closets? And each time was with a different guy", completed Dean between laughs.

Crabbe was the only one that shared the funny feeling of the situation and asked, "Do you know her name?"

"Tonky, Tronny… No, I remember now, it was Tonks. Why? Do you want to try your luck with her?" answered Dean and Crabbe shrugged as giving 'maybe' as an answer. Hermione shook her head, and Harry only raised one of his eyebrows at the information.

"Either way. And somehow in the same subject", Harry said handing a bar of chocolate to Dean. Then he took a box similar to the one he gave to Pansy, but this one was red, with yellow lace and in the centre another yellow stone.

"Is that a garnet?" asked Hermione, while behind her, some Gryffindors started to walk past them. The Weasleys twins passed, and while behind Hermione, showed their thumbs up to Harry.

Parvati Patil and Lavander Brown stopped walking to see the gemstone on the top. Their eyes were wide open, and Lavander Brown had her mouth open for the impression.

Harry cleared his throat, but the two Gryffindor girls only turned to see him. Fortunately, a prefect showed up. "Moving on, don't stay in the corridor", said Percy Weasley. Harry thanked him and started to walk with Crabbe.

When most of the people left, Hermione got close to Harry and whispered, "we need to talk". Harry turned his head to see her and nodded, "After class, is that alright?"

Hermione nodded and continued walking.

.

The class was, again for Harry, boring and pathetic. Tier one spells, that a 6-year-old kid should be able to do. Although Harry noted that the professor was looking at him the entire class. Harry could only hope that it was because she was suspicious about him. He did not want to think that the old woman had something for him.

While the rest of the class was trying to complete their assigned task of changing a needle to a match stick, Harry was thinking about why Hermione may want to talk. It may be for the chocolate box.

In reality, Harry was asked to give the box to Pansy. He was thinking of only giving her chocolate bar like the rest, but for some reason, Albedo asked him to give her a better gift than the others. She said that Momonga-sama ordered it and if supreme on asked to do it, means that there is a more complex plan going on. He asked if he could also give a similar box to someone else, this was to minimize gossip from other students.

Harry sighed and looked at Crabbe. He was drawing something in his parchment. The rest of the class was still working on their assignment, except for the typical group of Draco, Pansy, Hermione and Dean. Unfortunately for Goyle, he was paired with Nott, and although he is not a bad student, he is not the best either.

Once the class was over, Crabbe grabbed his things as fast as he could and left the classroom. Harry, on his side, took his time. Draco stood in front of him, waiting. But Harry told him that he would go with him later on.

Harry took his belongings and stood in front of Hermione. She nodded at him and walked together outside the classroom. McGonagall looked at them from her desk.

Once outside the classroom, Harry left a shiver running his spine. Hermione looked at him and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"The whole class, the professor was looking at me", said Harry.

"And?" asked Hermione frowning.

"I don't know. I mean, you know what day is today",

"Valentine's Day".

"Yeah. Just imagining the reason why she was looking at me that way today", said the Suzuki heir while shivering again. Hermione snorted at the comment.

Harry and Hermine continued walking, and the question in Harry's head was said, "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Not here. Let's go to an empty classroom", said Hermione before opening the door of one classroom. When she realized that there was no one inside, she entered the room and pushed Harry inside.

Hermione was unaware that behind them was Ron, who watched as he pushed Harry into an empty classroom. The young of the Weasleys were in a little conflict in his head. "If I accuse them, both will be in trouble, but the professor may take points from Gryffindor too", thought Ron.

In the end, he decided to find a professor. "No McGonagall, she won't do anything to them. Snape may give them detention… no, he may let it pass because one of them is a snake", thought Ron while running in his search for a professor.

"Oh, I know. I should go with Flitch or Percy", said Ron to himself. Unknown to him, Fred and George were close and heard his little brother. They did not know the whole thing, but they were disappointed in their little brother wanting to accuse someone.

.

Harry entered the empty classroom, and behind him was Hermione, who closed the door.

Harry was about to speak, he thought that this was a misunderstanding of Hermione about the chocolates. He does not know how she would react to the whole thing, but once he explains the situation to her, he does not think he would be in a very bad position. Worse scenario, she would slap him for the misunderstanding, and they would go back to friendship afterwards.

Harry opened his mouth, but Hermione spoke first, "How did you know?"

Harry Suzuki is an eleven years old kid, and he knows many things. He is one of the most intelligent kids, and he had skipped grades in the Muggle world. In the wizarding world, he is still planning when to do it. He considers himself a person who can read people, to a certain degree. But right now, he was at loss.

Harry saw Hermione, and in her face was an indication that she wants answers. She reminded him of the face of Yuri Alfa when she disciplined Harry back when he was a small kid.

If his gut was right, the question was not about the chocolates. But he was still out of possibilities. He needed more context to answer.

The silence passed for a few seconds, and Harry still doesn't know what she was referring to. Harry was getting nervous because Hermione did not elaborate more at that time, and she was still looking at him with a stern face.

"Ehem, abou… ", tried to articulate Harry, but was cut again by Hermione. "I am talking about me being a Half-blood", said Hermione and then she turned to open her bag. Harry's eyes were wide open, but he recovered his composure before Hermione could see him.

Hermione took a parchment from her bag and gave it to Harry. "I went to Gringotts with Draco back in our winter break. I took their family tree test, and it showed that I am a half-blood", said Hermione with a more calmed but still bossy voice.

Harry looked at the parchment and remembered about their talk with Robert Smith.

"Not only that. You knew that my ancestors were in Canada. I even asked my father, and he didn't know about it. Only my Grandfather told me that he lived with his father in Canada back in the '40s. And that he decided to come back to England once the second World War was over", said Hermione very fast.

Hermione pointed at Harry and continued, "You knew everything about my family. Things that even my own family didn't know. My Grandfather knows nothing about the wizarding world."

"You knew it since the very beginning. How? Did you study the background of everyone?" Hermione got closer to Harry.

Harry tried to remain calm, and his appearance could achieve it, but not his mind. He was screaming mentally. Now she is also accusing him of reading others backgrounds, which was one thing that was proposed to do. It is a process they did to each school that Harry went to, to know with who he should socialize first. But due to Hogwarts' acceptance method, it could not be applied. He knew that he can't say that to her and unconsciously shook his head.

Hermione looked at Harry, who denied that he did a background investigation of everyone. She frowned, looked at him for a few seconds and then sighed. "You are right. Your family is living in the Muggle side of the world. You wouldn't have a way to get the list of the students accepted beforehand", the girl said while taking the parchment back.

The young Gryffindor was getting a little annoyed and decided to sit. "When you told me that only half of what you said was a lie. Back at the end of our first transfiguration lesson. You said it because you want me to investigate by myself, right?"

Harry only made that lie to make the whole situation with Draco pass as fast as he could, but he didn't think that it would end up being true. And after the Transfiguration class, he only wanted to look cool, leaving her suddenly with a confused face.

Hermione relaxed and sighed, "you did not want to say anything yourself. You already middle too much with Draco. That's why you let me investigate by myself, correct? Nothing good will come if it was you the one that gave me the whole proofs".

The young Slytherin turned to see Gryffindor girl with a raised eyebrow. The brown-haired girl, now more relaxed, put her elbows in the desk and rested her head in her hands.

"But because I haven't done any progress, you sent Malfoy", Hermione sighed and nodded to herself. The bossy girl turned to see Harry and continued, "Sorry to let you down with that".

The Slytherin kid shook his head in a calming way that gave reassurance to Hermione.

She crossed her arms and looked directly into Harry's eyes, "But, was it really necessary to use Robert Smith to help me with Pansy? In fact, how did you know that I like The Cure? And not only that, he was talking to Pansy parents like old acquaintances."

"You got me there. That was a pure coincidence", said Harry shrugging. Hermione nodded at him, exhaled profusely, and drew a smile, "I feel better now. Thanks for helping me, and I assure you that you won't need to do that again".

The Gryffindor girl walked to the door and opened it. But before leaving she said, "Oh, and… tha-thanks… for the cho-chocolates". She stuttered a bit when saying that and left the classroom pretty fast.

When the door closed, Harry let himself fall into a chair. He was tired, he was confused, and he only could scream, "WHAT DID JUST HAPPENED? HOW?! AAAAH!".

.

Ron ran all over the place and was able to find his older brother Percy. For Percy, his younger brother timing was the worst. He just confessed his love to Penelope Clearwater, a Ravenclaw girl, but out of nowhere Ron appeared and took him away. He said to him that two students walked into an empty classroom.

Ron grabbed Percy's robes and took him with him without waiting for an answer. After all, Percy has always been the strictest prefect of all.

Unfortunately for Ron, when they were getting close, they saw Hermione walking fast to their side. Her face was totally red, and she was with her face down, like trying to hide her face. Ron looked at her walking away and knew that his opportunity was missed.

Ron stopped walking, and Percy got annoyed, "well, which classroom?"

The younger Weasley walked away and said, "never mind".

The prefect saw his younger brother walking away, and his annoyance was bigger. Then he saw Harry Suzuki coming out from an empty classroom. His hair was messier than usual, and Percy could not stop to think that the previous girl came from the same classroom.

The Weasley prefect raised his eyebrow at Harry, he wanted to ask what happened. The Suzuki heir saw him and said, "women".
