VDS - Valentine's Day Syndrome:
A Girl's Worst Enemy

Hermione sighed, while walking her way to potions class. Her best friends, Ron and Harry, were ahead of her, flirting with their girlfriends. Leaving Hermione to suffer from VDS. She was the only girl in their 7th year of Hogwarts, not to have a received a flower from her boyfriend. Mainly, because she didn’t have a boyfriend. She sighed once again and continued to walk to the class. Just because she didn’t have a boyfriend, didn’t mean she didn’t like anyone. No no, that was quite the opposite. She liked someone, but who she liked she kept a secret. If it got out she’d be shunned by the whole school, and she didn’t need that. For she liked…Draco Malfoy (a/n duh what were u expecting!) .

Potions class started out as usual. Snape took off 10 points for no apparent reason. Neville melted a cauldron, and Ron and Harry flirted the whole time.

Hermione stared at the back of Draco Malfoy's head. Trying to study him exactly.

"Hermione, Hermione" said a voice.

"Huh, oh yeah, what?" She asked, being pulled out of a daydream by Ron, who had prodded her with his wand in the shoulder.

"Uh, Hermi, class ended about 5 minutes ago." He said to her with a laugh. She turned a bright red and mumbled "Oh, yeah right." She grabbed her books, and turned, when she bumped into someone. Her books fell to the ground with a thud. She bent down to pick them up, when she heard a familiar drawl.

‘Watch were you are going Granger." He said to her.

She stared him in the eyes, a hard glare, and while staring, she saw something flash. Something she had never seen before. But it was gone as quickly as it had came, and he turned quickly and left her to stare.

Hermione trudged up the stairs to her dorm, exhausted, an other pointless Valentines Day had passed, and still she had no one. It was the same story every year. Every one would walk around with their boyfriends and girlfriends. Showing them off like they were some sort of prize that is one at a fair.

She walked into her dorm, pushing open the heavy oak door, that stood n front of her. She walked to the bathroom, and brushed her teeth. She was a bout to lie down, when she noticed something on her blue bed sheets, that stood out. It was a dark crimson rose, all by itself. She picked it up, and smelt it. It was beautiful. She read the card that was next to it.

Meet me at the astronomy tower tonight at 11 PM

She put down the letter, deciding it would be good to go, she put down the rose in the vase next to her bed, propping the letter up next to it. She walked to the boys dorm and knocked on the door.

"hello" came a deep voice.

"Harry, it is Hermione, may I come in?" she asked.

"Ok" He said to her. She opened the door up.

"Harry, is it ok if I can borrow your invisibility cloak, PLEASE?" She asked him with puppy dog eyes.

He laughed, "Go ahead it’s in the chest next to my bed." She ran over to the chest and opened it up. The smell of cedar filled her nose. She picked up the cloak, letting its silvery material flow through her hands.

"Thanks Harry." She said, running to him, and giving him a peck on the cheek. HE blushed slightly, and she ran out of the room.

She checked the clock, it was 9 PM. She had only 2 hours to get ready to go. She went to her closet, and pulled out her dark red robes, and put them on. She put on her blue eye shadow, and berry colored lipstick.

It was 10:50. Hermione made sure all the girls in her dorm were asleep, when she put the cloak on. She walked out of the door, and opened up the portrait, frightening the fat lady.

She ran down the hall, trying not to make to much noise. Mrs. Norris could be anywhere, and she knew it to. She made it to the
Astronomy Tower at 11 exactly. She tugged off the invisibility cloak. She walked around the corner of the tower, and found an other dark red rose.

She smelt this one, and let out a breath. It smelt beautiful, just like the last one.

"I take it you like the rose!" Came o voice from behind her. She jumped, and turned around.

"M-M-Malfoy" She stuttered.

"In the flesh!" he smiled to her.

"Are you the one who left her the roses?" She asked him

He nodded, "I don’t know how to say this, but I I I have feelings for you." He said to her, looking at his shoes.

"Really?’ She asked, a little shocked. He knodded.

"I know you prob-" he began, but she cut him off, and planted a kiss on his lips.

He gapped at her. "I like you to." She said, blushing redder then a tomato. "I just have one question though." She said to him, picking up the flower.

"Ask away" he said.

"Why did you only leave a single crimson rose?" she asked him, smiling.

"Because, a single crimson rose stands means forever!" he said to her. She leaned over and kissed him again.

"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship." She said to him, a smile upon her face.
