The next month or so flew by quickly. Finally, nothing too out of the ordinary happened. Professors were piling homework on like it was life or death, meaning no one had time to do much of anything other than write compositions, study for tests, and perfect spells and potions.

"Tell me why I ever thought that taking ancient ruins was a good idea," I say slamming my textbook closed,

"Cause you're an overachiever." Emma yawns flipping through a copy of the daily prophet.

"God Em, what's up with you?" Walter says not looking up from the parchment he's taking notes on.

"Just not feeling this whole school thing anymore. I mean seriously. How many spells do we need to know?" Emma folds the paper in half so she can see us.

"You sure this isn't about valentines day..?"

Emmas eyes drift from me over towards Adrien and Clarissa who are sucking each others faces off by the lake wall. She shakes her head and looks back at Wally and I. "Nope absolutely not. I don't know what you're talking about. When even is valentines day?"

"Tomorrow." I open my textbook again and try to finish translating the ruins of some ancient scroll

"So I'm guessing you have plans with George tomorrow?" Walter pushes me with his shoulder a bit.

I shake my head no, "Nah, he's got quidditch things to deal with and I need to finish up my care of magical creatures composition.

"How... romantic." Emma frowns. She unfolds her paper and starts to read again.

"We just aren't romantic is all. I'd much rather spend time with him when it's not forced you know? Like valentines day is so... blah."

"Keep telling yourself that sweetheart." Emma flips the page of the paper.

The next day Emma and I grab our books for history of magic before heading off to the dining hall for breakfast. "Oh my god." Emma giggles when we get into the hall.

Its disgustingly pink, big flowers were on all the walls, the tables covered in bright table cloths, heart-shaped confetti is falling from the bright blue ceiling. "I'm gonna vomit."

Emma twirls and looks up into the falling hearts. "Oh come on. It's adorable!" She takes my hand and raises it in the air and forces me to twirl in a circle. I try my hardest not to smile but it really doesn't work. "See? You love love!"

I stick my tongue out at her and we go sit down at our table. Walter walks in with Lee shortly after and after a quick goodbye he comes over to us. After our conversation a while back, he said that he's not comfortable telling Emma quite yet and by the looks of things, that time hasn't come yet.

"Wally! Isn't it so beautiful in here? Doesn't it just get you in the spirit of love?" Emma sighs, twirling her wand in between her fingers mindlessly.

"It's definitely something that's for sure." He says looking at the decorations very unimpressed.

As the rest of the school slowly trickles in, we all watch their reactions to the new décor. Only the Slytherins and Ravenclaws seem to show any kind of annoyance or disgust at the very pink room

When George and Fred walk in they both start laughing almost immediately. George makes eye contact with me and smiles really big and dramatically blows me a kiss which makes us both laugh "Seriously, do you two not have any plan?" Emma says watching George go sit down with his friends.
