It was finally Valentine's Day. For Hogwarts, it was a big deal. Pink decorations and so many hearts and the smell of chocolate roamed the Great Hall.

You escaped from the horrid, too-pink place, sitting down on the roots of the tree that you and your partners always hang out at.

And of course, they knew you so well, so automatically they knew that you were there. Approaching you, they greeted and sat next to you.

With a grin, Lily placed a rose within your hair. "A rose for my rose."

On the other hand, Severus wasn't passionate about Valentine's Day at all. But he still got you something. He placed a small box on your lap, waiting for you to open it.
