Gilderoy Lockhart's Many Valentines
"Now, now, Minerva, don't go stealing my valentines." Gilderoy Lockhart wagged a finger at Professor McGonagall as she plucked a pink-wrapped package out of the treacle. "Now, if you let me teach you the secrets of my charm, you'll be pelted with owls throughout the month of February just like me."
"Being pelted with gifts from twittering children is not something I aspire to, Gilderoy," said McGonagall coldly as she handed Lockhart his sticky package.
Down at the Gryffindor table, Ron and Harry exchanged grins.
"Wonder who's twittery enough to send Lockhart a valentine?" muttered Seamus. "That brainless lump has been getting gifts all week."
"Dunno." Ron poured milk into his glass as half the females at the Gryffindor table blushed bright red. "No one with any taste, anyway."
"Oh, really?" said Hermione, recovering some dignity though her cheeks were still scarlet. "Errol was here just the other day, wasn't he, Ron? And he wasn't delivering a valentine for Ginny."
Now Ron was the one who blushed. Harry bit his lip to keep from laughing. What gift had Mrs. Weasley sent to the winner of Witch's Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award?
Gilderoy received one Valentine per day (Monday-Friday) from five swooning females (Ginny, Hermione, Lavender, Molly, Parvati) each sent him different type of Valentine (candy, card, flowers, a poem, a song). Each admired him because of a different attribute (his forget-me-not blue eyes, his curly hair, his stylish robes, his award-winning smile, and his enchanting voice). Of course each of these swooning females were mocked and teased by one of the non-impressed male population (Fred, George, Harry, Neville, Ron). As Gilderoy's memory is not what it used to be, help him sort out his admirers and their gifts (so he can send them autographed pictures--or perhaps some hair care potions) and find his detractors so he can adjust their grades accordingly.
- Fred was teasing someone the
day before the hair admirer's token was given--but he wasn't teasing
Lavender.
- George didn't tease the flower
sender and surprised himself by having enough sense not to tease his
mother (Molly).
- Monday's Valentine was inspired
by Gilderoy Lockhart's enchanting voice.
- The song was given in the form
of singing sheet music (but not from Hermione) the day after whoever liked
Gilderoy's robes which was the day after Harry laughed himself sick
mocking a lovestruck student.
- Molly and Ginny Weasley were
the first and last people to deliver their Valentine's--but not
necessarily respectively.
- The five who sent Valentines
were Hermione, the one who admired Lockhart's hair, the person teased by
Ron, Lavender and the one who sent flowers (in some order).
- Molly Weasley was embarrassed
when she was teased by one of her own children about sending something to
Gilderoy Lockhart for Valentine's Day.
- Parvati gave Professor Lockhart
her Valentine the day before he got the poem, which was the day before
Fred started teasing someone
- Ron and Neville teased the ones
who sent the card and who liked Lockhart's eyes (in some order) but
neither of them bothered the one who sent the candy.
