Closed The Gears of Valentine's Day

[Lumos Walden-Cade]

Though he'd been spending most of the day with Jonah, Lumos didn't want Demi to think he'd forgotten about her, so he'd invited her to the Great Lawn, not far from the lake. Demi was his best friend and he'd taken her side for anything. He always would, he felt, because Demi had always been there for him too. He pulled out the little treasure box he had for her, something he'd worked hard on with his dad to get working. His mum had a hand in it too, he wasn't sure which of them was better at charms. He hoped Demi liked it, he was trying to show her his appreciation and he hadn't felt like a rose was good enough. He hoped she wasn't upset she hadn't received one from him, but he had never been a rose kind of person really, mostly just for Jonah. He closed the box, the song would be too much of a give away he thought.

Since Professor Fox had started giving Demi things to work on in between classes, she'd been so focused on that and Quidditch to worry too much about what her other classmates thought about her these days. Even William and Eurydice were far from her mind, and while she missed spending time with Lumos, she was still glad he was spending time with Jonah who seemed to make him happy. Sat on the lawn under the sun, Demi was in the middle of fiddling with a motherboard that Professor Fox had given her. She knew of course it would never work in the same way it would outside of Hogwarts, but it was still fun to see how the parts connected together. The Ravenclaw looked up at the sound of footsteps, squinting in the sunlight at the student approaching her, although she only needed to see his outline to know it was her best friend. "Hey Lumi," Demi grinned, glad for the chance to see him. She knew today was Valentine's day so no doubt most others would be busy including the Slytherin, but Demi wasn't delivering roses this year and had been more or less keeping to herself. "Your hair is looking ridiculous, by the way," she told him, peering at the blonde curls standing up in all sorts of directions thanks to the wind. He was her best friend, it was her job to look out for him. "Come here," she moved the motherboard aside, beckoning the third year closer.

Lumos laughed as Demi insulted him. Of course she did, that was her job, to keep him in line. "Heya," he said, moving closer and crouching down beside her. He didn't want to wreck whatever she was working on, which looked like something from a computer. He wasn't into that stuff like she was, so he didn't know much about it, but he liked to know a little so he could engage in things with her. "Happy Valentine's Day, sorry I couldn't get away earlier, I miss you," he said, making sure she was aware that he did in fact think of her quite often. They shared a few classes this year which made it a little easier to see her, but he knew it would only get harder from her, given the nature of schooling and how many different classes they were probably going to take. That was okay though, they would work things out and get to a good point where they would see each other as often as they wanted to. He did miss spending more time with her, and he knew he would have to put more effort into seeing his best friend.​
