Happy Valentine's Day.

Hope you don't mind I didn't get you flowers. Valentine's Day always seemed naff to me, even back in school.

Nevermind, Moony, it's a girl's holiday, anyway. I think it was made up by florists.

Mind you, if you fancied covering the bed in rose petals or something like that ... well, I'd tell you you'd gone bonkers. But only after making you suffer the consequences.

Hang on, you're not saying that because you wanted me to give you flowers, are you?

[alt_lupin]

No, don't be silly. If I wanted you to give me flowers, I'd at LEAST have got you a card!

[alt_sirius]

Right.

Perhaps that's something I ought to tell Danny: It's altogether easier with a bloke at Valentine's than a girl.

Oh, bugger. Did you get something for Mrs Ponds?

[alt_lupin]

Yes. Chocolates and a card. I thought about flowers but anything I gave her either would have been inappropriate (red roses, you know) or an uncomfortable reminder of what an odd husband she wound up with.

Chocs were safer. Also, I think she prefers them. I got her some nice ones -- truffles with liqueur flavourings, hand made.

And for Bea I got this little heart-shaped toy that squeaks when you squeeze it.

We'll see if Kreacher leaves it be or if it vanishes in a day and a half!
