February finally arrived, along with Valentine's Day.
Y/N and Cedric's relationship haa been steady and everyone's favourite in the whole school.
For the last few months, Y/N hasn't received any other update surrounding the Chamber of Secrets from the trio, but she didn't mind. She let them know that she would try and help if they needed her.
On Valentine's Day morning, she and Evie were walking to the Great Hall, for breakfast, and talking, surrounded by the other students.
As they entered, they were left stunned at the sight: at how the Great Hall had been decorated for the special day.
"What the-?" Evie asked, eyes wide, as she scanned the room.
"I'll bet everything Professor Lockhart's the one behind these... uh, artistic choices?" Y/N stated, sitting at the Slytherin table.
The walls were all covered with large, lurid pink flowers. Heart shaped confetti was falling from the ceiling.
Y/N's eyes landed on the professors' table. She froze when she saw her Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, in pink robes, matching the decorations. He was waving to get everyone's attention.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" Lockhart shouted. "And may I thank the forty six people who have so far sent me cards! Yes, I have taken the liberty of arranging this little surprise for you all. And it doesn't end here!"
"Oh,Merlin's beard." Evie pinched the bridge of her nose.
Lockhart clapped his hands and through the ddoors to the Entrance Hall marched a dozen dwarfs. Not just any dwarfs, as they were made to wear golden wings and carrying harps.
Y/N and Evie tried holding back laughs, tears filling their eyes and their faces going red. It was truly a sight.
"My friendly, card-carryigng cupids!" beamed the professor. "They will be roving around the school today delivering your Valentines. And the fun doesn't stop here! I'm sure my colleagues will want to enter into the spirit of the occasion..."
"Do you think professor Snape'll tell us about some love related potions?" asked Evie.
Y/N shrugged "I don't know. Maybe?"
"Do you think Cedric'll send you one of those things?" Evie pointed to the dwarfs, chuckling.
"I hope he doesn't. I wouldn't be able to take it seriously. I think he knows that too. It would be funny, but not romantic. I applaud Professor Lockhart for trying something, at least."

"As you will be learning about this potion in your 6th year, and Professor Lockhart has been exasperating me, I shall tell you a little about Amortentia." Professor Snape explained, as he was walking around the classroom, a potion that had a pearly finish in hand. "Has anyone heard about Amortentia?"
Most of the students, Y/N included, raised their hands. The professor chose one of them to talk about what they knew of the potion.
As the student started talking, a few drawarfs barged into the class, just like every other class of today, to the annoyance of the teacher.
"I've got a musical message to deliver to Evie D-" the dwarf started, but Y/N didn't hear the rest as she started laughing. She looked at Evie, who had a mortified expression.
The dwarf then started the singing Valentine and everyone in the room, except for Snape, went berserk with laughter. After Evie, came the turns of two Gryffindor girls. The Valentines went on for around 10 to 15 mins, before the dwarfs left.
"Calm down, now. We have important business to attend to now." Snape said in a loud voice, to get everyone to settle.
Y/N fanned her face, to get herself to cool down from the fit of laughter she just had.
After lunch, the Weasley twins kept teasing Harry with a song that went something like : "His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad.".
"Guys, what's this about?" Y/N asked the twins after Harry left their side.
"Oh, you haven't heard?" Fred turned to Y/N, a mischievous smile on his lips.
After Y/N shook her head in denial, George informed her about the Valentine Harry got and the way it humiliated him in front of a whole crowd.
"Oh no, poor Harry."
"At least we got more material to tease him with this school year." Fred nudged her.
Y/N chuckled "I guess you do. But don't overdo it, okay?"
George looked at something over her shoulder and smiled. He looked back at her "Well, guess we better go. Gotta leave the two lovebirds alone, eh?"
Fred smirked and winked at the Slytherin before they both left.
"Leave who?- AAH!" Y/N flinched as she felt an arm slide around her waist. She looked at the person and smiled, punching him softly in the chest. "Ced, don't do that. You'll give me a heart attack."
"Sorry..." he shrugged "... Can't help it. Anyway, I have to tell ya something."
"I'm listening..." Y/N raised an eyebrow.
"Me. You. After dinner. Quidditch Pitch. Love you, bye." Cedric kissed her forehead and left in a rush, leaving the Slytherin stunned.
"I..uh, what happened?" she asked herself, then sighed. "I guess it's time to play dress up with Evie again. Hmm... would blue be an appropriate color? I think she'll dress me in either pink or red..."
She mumbled to herself on her way to her dorm. As she entered the common room, her eyes landed on Draco.
"Hey, little brother. What's up?" she sat next to him and pat his head.
After a few seconds he pushed her hand off his head "Fine, like always..." he leaned closer to her and whispered "But don't pat me when others are around. I'm grown."
Y/N laughed and nodded "Sure, buddy. Suuure. By the way, have you seen Evie?"
He shook his head. "No. And also, why would I care about her whereabouts? She's no friend of mine."
"No, but she is your dear sister's friend. I'm looking for her and- Oh! EVIE!" Y/N sat up and rushed to her friend's side. "We need to go upstairs."
Evie, having an idea it has to do with Cedric, obliged and they went to their room. That's when Y/N told her everything.
Evie nodded "Mhmm... I get it. Well, pink'll do. It's Valentine's Day, after all. Lemme see what I can do for ya, love."
She got up and started going through Y/N's clothes.
"I remember a pink top your mom gifted to you for Christmas... Where did you put it?"
"I don'y have the SLIGHTEST idea. YOU're the one who organises my clothes-"
"Because you won't-"
"Because you BUG me about wanting to organise my clothes." Y/N laughs. "You want to be my stylist, so you're the one who constantly goes through my clothes. You should know where you put it, Evie."
˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚
Y/N made her way down to the Pitch, half an hour after dinner. She squinted her eyes, trying to see if Cedric had something planned, beside their usual flying lesson, but to no avail. It was just him, sitting on the ground, two brooms next to him.
"Heyy! I'm here!"
The Hufflepuff turned to face her "I thought you wouldn't- Wow! You look BEAUTIFUL!"
He stood up, a big smile on his face, taking in her appearance.
"Thank you! Evie had a BLAST today." Y/N chuckled.
"Did you get any Valentines today? From other guys?" Cedric crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
Y/N shook her head and smiled "Nope. Not one. Also, THANKS for not getting me one. They are hillarious, yes, but humiliating in a way. Evie received a few and got teased by the Slytherins and a few Gryffindors..."
"Let me gues... Are those Gryffindors two mischievous red-headed twins?"
"Bingo! Right on the money!"
The two laughed. Y/N reached for her broom, but Cedric put a hand in front of her, stopping her.
"What? Aren't we gonna fly?"
"We are... But first, I got a surprise for you. Stay here, okay?" he smiled and got onto his broom.
Y/N nodded and watched him fly high up, taking a pouch from his jacket. He threw it in the air as high as he could and blasted it with his wand.
The Slytherin gasped as a message formed in the sky: "I ♡ U, Y/N"
After Cedric landed back down, Y/N hugged him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "How sweet. Where did you learn that?"
"In my spare time, after school. Got some help from the twins too... They're pretty smart when they want to."
The two chuckled at the boy's statement.
"Happy Valentine's, Ced." Y/N smiled.
"Happy Valentine's, little snake." Cedric said as he played with a strand of her hair.
Until sundown, the two flew on their brooms around the school grounds and had fun.
A/N : Finally back! Greetings and sorry for the long wait. I was on vacay and school started 💖
