Ch16|♡Will You Be My Valentine?

Another month passed, and it was now February 14th.

"Another day to feel single, right boys?" You laughed.

"Truly."

"Wiser words have never been spoken."

The two redheads in front of you were dramatically sighing, causing you to snicker.

"Oh, come on. On with the plan already!"

Valentine's might've been a day for most to confess feelings, hang out, and even go on dates.

As for the twins and you, the three of you saw it as a perfect opportunity to prank the people in Hogwarts.

"Well, we have a few in mind.." Fred gave you a wicked smile.

-----

"No way! I am not pretending to confess to someone!"

"It'll be fun, (Y/n)!"

"It would hurt someone's feelings."

"Then you just have to do it to someone who definitely won't like you-"

"-like Professor Dumbledore." Fred cut him off.

"Like Professor Dumbledore." George agreed. "Wait, what-"

"I'm still not all that sure. You guys could do it yourselves. I'm out." You shrugged.

"Oh! What about Professor Snape?"

"Professor Snape..? Do you want her dead, Freddie?"

"Think about it. He's used to it by now."

"No way!" You protested. These boys. "We can do something else like dye someone's hair pink before a date or something."

"You're no fun."

"I just don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Professor Snape wouldn't be hurt, would he, idiot?"

"Well.."

-----

"Professor?" You watched as Gryffindors and Slytherins poured out from his classroom as you finally walked in.

The only people left there were Fred and George, who were pretending to tidy up their things. Professor Snape, eyeing you with a raised brow. And you, about to execute a plan you never thought was a good idea.

"Yes, (L/n)?" He muttered in his cold voice, far different to his usual demeanor with you privately.

"I.. I wanted to tell you something."

"Go on."

"Professor.. I like you! Will you be my Valentine?" You quickly blurted the words out of your mouth as you were waiting for a response, watching your feet carefully.

"Miss (L/n), this is highly inappropriate behavior." He stared at you with a furrowed brow. "Do you even know what you're suggesting?!"

At this, the twins couldn't help but laugh.

"Run, (Y/n)!" They yelled as they rushed out of the classroom.

"Sorry, Professor." You quickly bowed before dismissing yourself and running off with the boys.

"It's alright." Snape softly muttered as he watched you leave.

[Snape pov]

"Professor.. I like you! Will you be my Valentine?"

Ah. So this was what she told me to be prepared for.

You're a smart one (Y/n) (L/n). You really are.

I guess I should play along.

-----

[Earlier that day]

Dear Professor,

I'd like to apologize in advance. For what, I'm not so sure yet.

You'll know soon but.. just know those two twins are up to no good. (Neither am I)

Be prepared, and please don't kick my a**. <3

Yours truly,
Yn

[Snape pov]

There was a knock. It's about time.

With my hand holding my wand, I swiftly turned my wrist and opened the door with a light flick.

"Took you long enough." I said, eyes still glued to the work in front of me.

"I'm sorry. I just got back from the shenanigans with the boys."

"Long day?"

"You know it." She visibly slumped and sat into a chair.

For the first time since her 'confession', I looked at her properly.

"About this afternoon-"

"Oh, right! I swear I didn't mean a single word. I'm so sorry. I hope you got my letter. You would've known if you had. Well, not necessarily, but you're smart enough to put two and two together, right? Wait, no, what if you didn't.. oh gosh, I'm so sorry, Professor-"

"Calm down, (Y/n)." I gave a small chuckle.

"Yes, sir. Sorry, sir."

"It's very much fine. I'm glad you decided to warn me beforehand."

"Oh, I couldn't imagine what would happen if I didn't."

I smiled.

If only she knew.

[2nd person]

Slouching on the couch, you breathed in a sharp and long inhale.

"Finally back?"

"You would not believe the day I had." You laughed.

"Something along the lines of pranking with the twins."

"You know me so well."

"Hard not to." He laughed.

You spent the night talking, laughing at his jokes and talking about your days.

"It's getting late." You said, yawning right after. "We should head to bed."

"It was fun talking."

"It was. Goodnight."

You turned to head down the stairs leading to your dormitory.

"Hey.. (Y/n)?" As you took the first step, the boy behind you spoke.

You turned to face him with a puzzled look.

"Yes, Ced?"

"I.." He gulped.

"(Y/n).. will you be my Valentine?"

A/N :

I take back what I said last week. <3

(Ha. Bet you weren't expecting Cedric to confess >:D maybe you were, idk)
