When: Thursday 14th February, evening.
Where: Wandering the streets of Hogsmeade.
Rating: PG
The tapping of seven owls on his window wakened Roger quite early. Three were marriage proposals from complete strangers. Fans getting ready for the season, he supposed. Three were unsubtle hints for dates from the three women he'd met at the picnic Saturday gone. And one was a wizarding picture of jiggling breasts from a secret admirer. They were nice breasts, but... detached from a human body as they were... He incinerated the lot and flew to Quidditch practice.
After a long hard day of flying and training, and pretending it didn't bother him, that he couldn't care less that he was alone on Valentine's Day, Roger apparated to Hogsmeade and slowly made his way to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. He stood at the corner of one of the wide windows remembering how many girls he'd brought there... and how many dreams he'd had.
But life wasn't like dreams... life was what you grabbed onto and ran with. And Roger had never quite worked out how to get someone to run with him, in his direction, at his pace.
All the restaurants were probably decorated with pink hearts and red roses. He shouldn't have come here. It was stupid to be depressed about a holiday. With a final heavy sigh, Roger turned away from Madam Puddifoot's and headed back to Hogsmeade's main drag.
