Love month was in full swing in the Great Hall with it's normally candle filled roof appearing to be covered in confetti, pink love hearts and pink clouds above them. Calvin, sat on the Ravenclaw table with some arts and crafts items in front of him splayed about like some artistic mess as he attempted to create a valentines card. Calvin wasn't exactly the artistic type but it was something he wanted to do for Desiree.
He had managed to use the scissors that had been shaped to create a jagged design when snipping a card he had created when he noticed Don and a few others in the distance. " Hey everyone!" He greeted the group with a smile on his face as he waved his arms about that had been covered in glue, papers and confetti looking like the ooze that a unicorn would of produced if they sneezed. Not the real unicorn but the version the non-magics talked about.

Usually, Valentine's Day held no particular interest for Don. But he had been struck by a sudden inspiration about a week ago, and rushed to order some goods from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in preparation for today. Most of those goods were forbidden by school rules, of course, but nobody checked every single owl delivery students received.
Today was finally the day when his plot could be executed. He strolled into the Great Hall, spending a moment looking over its new appearance. Hearts. Confetti. Pink everywhere. This was similar to his Muggle school decorations for the same occasion, only worse because limitless amounts of these ornaments could be conjured from thin air.
He had a target in mind when placing the order last week, and the target was already here - making something out of paper. Probably a card for that Desiree girl he occasionally mentioned. Perfect. The fourth-year walked over to Calvin, grinning from ear to ear. "Happy Valentine's Day, buddy. Here, I brought you a little something." Don offered the Ravenclaw a box of chocolates. "You might want to share this with someone special," he added, meaning Calvin's girlfriend.

"Hi." she said as Calvin spoke. Valentines day felt like a joke. Sickening really, and yet here she was, watching Calvin make crafts.. actual crafts. By hand. She didn't know how she'd ended up watching. Perhaps morbid fascination. But her thought process had quickly been disturbed when Don dropped down a box of chocolates and the eyeroll she gave was far larger than she'd intended but she said nothing as she eyed the box. He wondered if she had one for her. She huffed and that was it. She had to ruin this moment for him, she reached out to lift the corner of the box up and inspect the chocolate. "Didn't put much thought into it, did you?" she asked and reached to grab one. "Calvin, I wouldn't give these to your someone special. She'd be offended." she brought the chocolate up to her mouth.

Calvin lowered his confetti covered arm as he focused his mind back on the arts and crafts before him. His tounge was sticking out as he was humming love songs out loud as he continued to snip, paste and sprinkle some questionable confetti all over the place. He had made so much mess that the House Elves would be rather disappointed in him.
" Happy love month Don!" He responded back, glitter flying about landing on his blonde hair as he continued to scribble some things onto his card as Don handed him a gift. " For me?? He questioned feeling a tingle inside of him. " I must let you know, I am taken. No matter how attractive you are. " He accepted the chocolate and placed it to the side of him when Sofia began to help herself.
" Well, I suppose it's the thought that counts." He said as he pushed the chocolates over toward her with a smile. " Do they taste any good? " He asked curious about it before pushing the box over to Don & Grace. " Would you two like to have some too?"

Grace stood at the entrance of the Great Hall, her short stature barely noticeable amidst the flurry of pink hearts and confetti. Her mismatched socks—one bright green and the other a faded purple—peeked out from beneath her robes. She sighed, brushing a strand of red hair away from her face as she watched the commotion inside. Love month always brought out the strangest behaviors in people.
Her eyes caught Calvin, a Ravenclaw, at his table, surrounded by a chaotic array of arts and crafts supplies. His earnest efforts at creating a Valentine's card were admirable, if not a bit messy. Grace couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of him, his arms covered in glue, paper, and confetti. It reminded her of the time she tried to make a Celestina Warbeck fan banner and ended up with glitter in her hair for weeks.
Just as she was about to step further into the hall, she saw Don approach Calvin with a mischievous grin. The sight of Don always made her wary; he was a known prankster, and she couldn't help but wonder what he was up to now. She watched as Don handed Calvin a box of chocolates, and her curiosity piqued. She decided to join them.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Don, Calvin, Sofia” she greeted them cheerfully as she approached the Ravenclaw table. Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she took in the artistic mess before her. “Looks like you’ve been busy, Calvin. Are you planning to turn the Great Hall into a glittery wonderland?”
She reached for a chocolate, once offered, and popped it into her mouth, savoring the sweetness. “Mmm, these are good!"

"Ah, yes the thought." she snorted and waved to Grace as she sat. "Happy February." she said, finally taking a bite from the chocolate. It really didn't taste too bad. She savored it for a moment, and you know what? Maybe there was a little truth in the fact that chocolate made everything better because suddenly, she felt quite.. good. Happy. Content, even. "Wow." she said. "These are good." she held it up to eye it before her gaze caught Calvin again and she sighed, "Did I ever tell you how nice your hair is? Blonde is soo much better than red, honestly."
Post by GRACE WEASLEY on Jun 30, 2024 11:09:35 GMT -5
Grace's eyes widened as she took another bite of the chocolate, a strange warmth spreading through her. She felt a peculiar flutter in her chest, and suddenly, the bustling Great Hall seemed to fade away, leaving only Calvin in sharp focus. His blonde hair shimmered in the candlelight, and she couldn't help but sigh dreamily. "Happy February," she echoed Sofia absently, her gaze still fixed on Calvin. She leaned forward, resting her chin in her hand as she continued to admire him. "Wow, these are really good," she said, her voice softer, almost reverent. "Calvin, did I ever tell you how nice your hair is? Blonde is soo much better than red, honestly."
She reached out, gently brushing a piece of confetti from his shoulder. "You know, Calvin," she continued, her tone light and airy, "I've always admired your artistic talents. You're so creative, and it's really inspiring. I bet Desiree will love your card. She's so lucky to have you." Grace's thoughts were a jumbled mess of admiration and adoration. She knew something felt off, but at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to care. Calvin's presence was simply intoxicating, and she found herself hanging on his every word, completely captivated by him.
"Do you need any help with your card?" she offered eagerly, her eyes shining with an unusual intensity. "I'd love to help you make it perfect."

The situation got out of hand fast. Don was torn between amusement and horror as he watched Sofia appropriate one of the chocolates and take a bite. She had been noticeably upset with him lately, and he couldn't seem to get back into her good graces. This was sure to end whatever they had left of their friendship. Then again, knocking the candy out of her hand would have the same effect - and it wouldn't be nearly as hilarious.
The fourth-year drew in a shaky breath, struggling to keep a straight face. "Just don't eat too much chocolate on an empty stomach, you might get sick," he advised.
"Blonde is soo much better than red, honestly."
Don glanced at Sofia curiously. That was an odd thing to say. Admiring Calvin's hair colour seemed like a pretty normal symptom of infatuation, but why compare it to red specifically--?
Grace joined the snacking, distracting him from a revelation. He wondered if Rose would be annoyed about the prank inadvertently affecting her cousin, or if she would only be upset about not being here to witness it.
"Right, guys, enough - leave some for Desiree," he urged, even though it wasn't needed - both girls were already focused on Calvin. Don simply didn't want any more people indulging in the chocolates. Chaos was fun, but too much of it could lead to all sorts of trouble. He made as if to pick up the candy box, dropping it in the process and scattering the chocolates on the floor. "Uh-oh, I'll clean it up," he reassured group, though they seemed to be quite preocupied. Don took out his wand and began Vanishing the candy pieces one by one while listening to the girls croon. He was going to need to apologise to Calvin later, and try never to meet Desiree.

Sofia rolled her eyes at Don's comment about getting sick, as if she would over indulge? Pff.
She tutted as the chocolate hit the floor but otherwise didn't react, she was far too busy narrowing her eyes at Grace, "Oh, no, no." she said and swatted her hand away, "I will help him." she insisted, "I am not losing another boyfriend to a weasley." she huffed and tried to make a grab for the glitter, she would not be out done. She would make the most amazing card Calvin had ever seen.

Grace hardly noticed Don's mishap with the chocolates, her focus entirely on Calvin. The warmth from the love potion made everything about him seem magical, from the way his hair caught the light to the soft determination in his eyes as he worked on his card. Her usual wit and practicality were drowned out by an overwhelming sense of infatuation.
"Honestly, Calvin," she said dreamily, "your card is going to be the best. Desiree will be so impressed. But I just think it needs a little... more sparkle." She reached for a handful of glitter, intent on helping him create the most dazzling Valentine possible. Before she could sprinkle the glitter, Sofia swatted her hand away. Grace frowned, her usual competitive spirit igniting despite the potion's effects. "Oh, no, no," Sofia said firmly, "I will help him. I am not losing another boyfriend to a Weasley."
Grace's cheeks flushed, a mix of irritation and embarrassment flooding through her. "I'm just trying to help, Sofia," she retorted, not willing to back down. "I think Calvin deserves the best card, and I know a thing or two about making things sparkle." She reached for the glitter again, determined to prove her point. The two girls' hands clashed over the glitter, creating a small explosion of shimmering particles that floated down onto the table and floor. Grace's heart pounded in her chest, not just from the proximity to Calvin, but also from the confrontation with Sofia.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Calvin," she said softly, turning her attention back to him, "what do you think? Should we add more glitter? Or maybe some enchanted confetti? I just want it to be perfect for you... I mean, for Desiree." As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Calvin's face, searching for any sign of preference. Every smile he gave felt like a personal victory, and she couldn't bear the thought of disappointing him.

His art work looked like something a child would do in an arts and crafts activity. Truth be told, the questionable card he was making looked more like a stew of glitter more than anything. " I think it looks pretty. " He said as he shrugged his shoulders and began watching the two girls consume the candy. "Oie! One at a time mate!" He responded laughing as glitter fell out of his hair as he reached over to grab the box only to find splattered on the floor. " Oh man, it's empty now. " He said looking over to Don wondering if he ate the last few pieces. " That's okay, I'll just get Desiree a new box or something. "
" My hair? " He questioned thinking maybe the glitters in it made it all sparkling bright in the light. " The Kleins all have blonde hair. " He responded fluffing his hair up as he turned over to what Grace had to say. " Oh thank you. " He said as he looked down on his card observing the glitter bomb before him. There was more glitter than card really.
Things had started to get weird when Sofia mentioned something about losing a boyfriend. " Boyfriend? " He questioned curiously looking at the conversation the two were having. " Umm... " He paused for a second to watch what was happening around him before he looked over to Don. " I think that's enough glitter. It's just glitter, I even lost my hand writing because of the glitter in there. " He responded as he began to look for a ribbon that had been pasted to his hair.

Grace watched Calvin with rapt attention, her eyes following his every move. His casual demeanor only made him more endearing, and she found herself smiling dreamily at his every word. "I think it looks pretty," Calvin said, shrugging as he inspected the glitter-laden card. Grace's heart swelled with admiration. "See, Sofia?" she said, trying to keep her tone light. "Calvin thinks it looks pretty."
Calvin fluffed his blonde hair, and Grace couldn't help but sigh softly. "The Kleins have such lovely hair," she murmured, almost to herself. But it was obviously audible to the rest of the group nearby.
Calvin's question about the red ribbon snapped her back to the present. "Red ribbon?" she repeated, scanning the table incredibly quickly that she could have easily given herself whiplash, not that it would've mattered because right now only impressing Calvin did. She spotted a bit of red peeking out from beneath a pile of glitter and reached for it. "Here it is!" She held it up triumphantly, a proud smile on her face. "Found it. It must have gotten caught in all the glitter." She handed the ribbon to Calvin, her fingers attempting to brush his hand briefly.
"The Kleins have such lovely hair," Sofia repeated in a mock tone -- honestly, she'd said it first! She was the one who had complimented Clavin first! Why was Grace trying to steal her thunder? "Calvin is just being nice." she huffed and reached out to grab the ribbon from Grace's hand before she all but shoved it at Calvin, "Here," she said and placed it into his other hand, keeping her hand over his for a moment as she sighed, "Yes, boyfriend." she pointed out as if it were obvious, "I mean it happened so fast, I know but I meant what I said, I'm not losing another to a Weasley so tell her Calvin." she said and looked pointedly at Grace.

His sense of confusion expressed on his face couldn't be hidden as he stared at the both of them with the most out of space expression he could find. " Why are you two acting so weird? " He said slowly taking the ribbon from Grace's hand only to find Sofia snatching it off from her. " Don, look. " He said facing Don for a second as a charming comment came out of his mouth. " Seems like the youngins here are fighting over me. " He giggled for a split second as he turned his attention over to what Sofia had just said.
" I'm not your boyfriend Sofia. " He replied shaking his head. " I just happen to be a boy that is also your friend. " He glanced over at Don with a smile on his face. " Just like how Don here is my boyfriend. " He pictured it so well in his mind that when the words came out, an expression to match his words followed suit.
" Thanks for the ribbon I guess. " He responded pulling an awkward face as he directed his attention away from Don and over to Sofia and Grace. " Okay, my cards done! " He said almost mimicking Grace's triumphant stance, glitter still falling from his blonde hair.

Grace felt a sharp pang of irritation at Sofia's mocking tone, but the love potion's influence kept her demeanor more subdued than usual. When Sofia took the ribbon from her hands, Grace didn't resist at all. Instead she stood there with her hands out looking like a complete idiot, still believing that she was truly helping Calvin. "Thanks, Sofia," Grace said, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside. She watched as Sofia kept her hand over Calvin's, her heart tightening in her chest.
"I'm not your boyfriend, Sofia," Calvin said, shaking his head. "I just happen to be a boy that is also your friend. Just like how Don here is my boyfriend." Grace blinked, trying to process Calvin's words through the haze of her infatuation. Finally, her stance broke and she straightened herself. And then, he declared the card being finished. Grace took a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts. "It looks great, Calvin," she said, her voice warm and genuine. "Just how you look great too." She smiled like a buffoon in his direction.
