Valentines Day. What was supposed to be the happiest day of the year, full of love and friendship, was nothing but lonely for you. Nobody had asked you to be you to be your valentine. So, while your classmates walked around the school grounds, hand-in-hand with their partners, you were alone.

Since everybody either already had a date, or you had already asked and they declined, your only option left to not be alone for Valentine's Day was the infamous Tom Riddle. Despite you having a little to none chance of him agreeing, you decided to ask him out. What did you have to lose?

Anxiously, you walked up to him as he was browsing the shelves in the library, holding one singular red rose in your hand. As you approached him, he turned to look at you, immediately catching on to what you were doing. "You do realise that the man is supposed to do this, right?" He asked, his voice having a hint of confusion.
