Chapter 4
Valentine’s
Day had finally arrived. The Great Hall was jam packed, with students, bidders,
staff members, wealthy purebloods, and of course, some people from the media.
The place was so crowded, that the seats were all taken. Some of the students
had to resort to taking their brooms in the hall, and hovered around highly
forming some sort of broom bleachers.
Design
wise, the Great Hall was all red and Valentine’s could be seen everywhere. Red
was the theme color; roses, candles, red covered chocolate kisses, and even
paper hearts were stuck on the walls and floating up above.
Albus stood center stage, smiling brightly as he started on
with the show. There were more people than he expected in attendance. Without a
doubt, he knew that this was going to be the best charity event that he had
ever planned.
Severus
scanned the crowd with his black eyes as he sat not far behind Albus. He and the other bachelors were seated in a row of
chairs at the back of the stage, for everyone to see. On one side of the room,
he saw Trelawney waving at him and blowing flying kisses at him. When he
spotted Granger at the other side, he felt relieved and prayed that his plan
wouldn’t go wrong. It was flawless, if only she would play her part well and
not back out. But then she wouldn’t, he knew. She had given him her word.
Severus
couldn’t help but also notice the many pairs of eyes that were glancing at him,
and some even winking. The women were giggling and talking to the one next to
them as they looked at him. What in blazes were they talking about? Why were
they talking about him? He then remembered Granger telling him that he was
quite a catch for some witches. Tall, mysterious, with a dark bad boy image. Severus
swallowed hard, maybe it wasn’t just Trelawney he had to worry about.
“Bet
you I can raise more money than you can Snivellus,”
Sirius said. He was seated next to Severus, and Remus.
“Shut
up Mutt!” Severus hissed.
“I’ll
put some money on it. A hundred galleons?”
“Deal!” Severus said right away.
“You
want in Remus?” Sirius asked as he turned towards
him.
“No
thanks, I’ll just leave you two lovebirds with your own arguments,” Remus answered with a slight chuckle.

“Oh my Merlin!” Ginny gasped. She was seated next to
Hermione, Lavender, Luna, Susan, the Patil twins and Tonks. “Snape is actually in the
auction!”
“I
am so going to bid on him,” Pavarti said.
“I
miss his classes, not because of potions but his voice,” Padma
added.
“His
voice would make me melt. I even soaked my knickers sometimes,” Ginny giggled
in confession.
“Ginny!”
Tonks said in complete surprise.
“What?
It’s not like I’m the only one,” the red head said, not ashamed of it, knowing
the other girls too had a crush on him at some point. “Didn’t you have a crush
on him as well Hermione?”
Hermione
couldn’t answer. All she did was bit her lip and blushed at the question.
“I
knew it!” Ginny scolded in a tease.
“Are
you going to vote for Harry?” Luna asked Ginny.
“No,”
the red head replied. “I’m actually going to try and vote for someone else. Draco maybe.”
“Ginny!”
Lavender said in complete shock.
“Hey,
who’s going to agree with me and say that Slytherin
men are quite attractive?” Ginny asked. When everyone raised their hands,
except Lavender, she looked at her. “See? And it’s for charity. Where’s the
excitement if you bid on your boyfriend? I’m not going to bid for Harry, but
I’m not going to cheat on him either.”
“I’m
not allowing any other woman to get their hands on my Ron!” Lavender said angrily.
“I’m
sure you won’t have to worry about your Ronnikins,”
Susan snorted, making the others laugh.
Lavender
didn’t say anything, and just held her chin high, with her arms crossed over
her chest.

“Look
Harry, some models are here!” Ron said, huffing his
chest, and trying to show just how macho he was.
“I
can see that,” Harry said looking at the same direction Ron was. “I’m not going
to get my hopes up on any of them. Ginny’s my girlfriend remember?”
“Oh
please,” Ron groaned disgustingly as he rolled his eyes. “Don’t talk about her
with me. It’s disgusting when I catch the two of you snogging.”
“That’s
your problem,” Harry said as he waved at Ginny.
“Don’t
tell me you wouldn’t want to date Anna Baileys? She’s the hottest witch model
in Britain!” Ron told him. “She was the Playwitch
model that got on the cover again last month. Gorgeous tits! They don’t look fake at all.”
“Like you would know!” Harry shook his head.
“Don’t
be spoiling on my parade Harry!” Ron exclaimed. “I think one of the models is
going to be my date tonight. What do you think?”
“In your dreams Weasel!” Draco interrupted. He
was sitting a chair away, and listening to their conversation the entire time. “As if anyone of those women would be interested in you.”
“They
wouldn’t be interested in someone so arrogant pretty boy!” Ron snapped back,
his cheeks turning red in anger.
“I’m
the best bachelor Weasel. I got the
looks, money, career, cars, and the best date planned for tonight,” Draco said
with a smirk. “No one would be interested in dating some second rate Quidditch player. You’re on the backup team. Pathetic
thinking you’re the star bludger.”
“Least
I’m on the team!”
“I
own the team!” Draco smirked once
again when Ron had nothing to say. He snorted seeing the anger in the other
wizard’s face, knowing he had won the battle.
