"I can't thank you enough for helping me get ready Pansy." I said earnestly.
"Girl, don't worry about it. But you owe me now." She replied with a smirk.
We shared a laugh as we walked down the stairs. Pansy sat down at the couch next to Theo and snuggled into him. I smiled as I made my way to the portrait hole, only to be stopped by my nosy overprotective brother, Draco.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"On a date with Sean. Why do you care?"
"Because you've already been hurt by a jerk this year that I didn't approve of, and now you're dating that anti-social loser Sean? Seriously Mare?"
"He may have been anti-social before, but he's changed. And wouldn't that make you like him more. Since he's never dated a girl he hasn't broken a heart before, how can he break mine? And Ryan cheated on me with my ex- best friend, Lola, before he came up with the lame reason to break up with me. Sean wouldn't do that to me and you know it." I replied still keeping my cool.
"Look, I'm just looking out for you. I promised Professor Snape I would after your emotional breakdown in his classroom." He whispered to me, while holding my arms. This is the closest thing Draco has ever gotten to giving me a hug.
"He told you?! Ugh, I can't trust anyone here, except Pansy. She's been nothing but nice to me all year. When all you did was ignore me for the first half, why would I listen to you about anything. Just leave me alone Draco." I yelled the last part and strutted for the door. "Don't wait up for me."

two hours later, in the middle of the Quidditch pitch
"Moody really turned Draco into a ferret?! Oh my gosh, now it makes sense why everyone calls him a ferret now!" I said laughing. "And you were there?"
"Yeah, it was possibly the second greatest day of my life. Although the next day in class was probably a close second. The jokes during class were hilarious!" Sean said.
"Second greatest? What was THE greatest day of you life?"
"Yeah, I shouldn't have said that."
"No, I'm glad you did. Now I get to guess what was the best day of your life, thus far."
"I won't tell you."
"Even if I get it right?" I said with wink.
"Well maybe... But you won't guess it, I can guarantee that."
"Okay, well here goes. The day you made the Quidditch team? Your acceptance letter to Hogwarts? Oh I know!, the acceptance letter to the Ministry of Magic internship?"
"No, no, and while that may be pretty good that wasn't the best day."
"Just tell me, you know I won't laugh!" I said with a giggle. (that's right a giggle... shudder)
Sean grimaced and looked away. Quietly he said, "It's the day I met you."
I was shocked, feeling absolutely loved, I hugged him. "Is it too soon to say that I think I'm falling in love with you?"
"I hope not, Because that's why I brought you out here tonight. I love you Marilyn, and I know that's really cheesy, what with the way that was set up, but it's how I feel."
"Sean," I said, taking his face into my hands, turning him towards me, "That was cheesy, but I loved it, and I love you too."
-------------------------------
I know that was super cheesy, but Valentines day is coming up, so this is what you get.
