February was the month of the devil.

Particularly Valentine's Day, Sally thought to herself. All of the couples were sitting around on the couches, snogging or exchanging sick little candies or doing something as equally stupid. Sally vaguely remembered last year when she gave Lionel a plastic sparkly ring, but she really didn't want to think about it. Thinking about Lionel during this holiday wouldn't help anything, especially since she wasn't supposed to see him until March. It was killing her, to say the very least.

So she took a walk to get away from all the madness. Everyone was too afraid to go outside because it was too cold. Sally wore her winter pea-coat and a knitted gray hat that was pretty itchy. Sluggishly slumping through the snow, Sally grumbled to herself about how much she hated it at Hogwarts. Why didn't Lionel let her stay with him and drop out of Hogwarts like they said they might have?

	"Oof!" she squeaked a little, tripping over her own two feet when he pushed her. Sally made an effort to push him just as hard. "Well, I rather liked you wearing it," she admitted. Sally tried not to think about the meaning behind the ring, but really, that was why she liked him wearing it so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lionel stumbled at Sally's shove, stepped on one of his own shoelaces, and went tumbling down into a snowdrift, but not before he snatched for Sally, half in an attempt to catch his balance, and half to bring her down with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Unfortunately, Sally wasn't expecting that, and it did little to help his balance -- if anything, it had the opposite effect. She went tumbling down with him, and they both went crashing into the snow, her on top of him, with a soft oomph! Her hat had fallen off, and her hair was wet with snow, looking rather like she had snow dandruff coming out of her head. It was freezing, but Sally couldn't help but laugh.

	Lionel had to laugh too, when Sally did. He picked a few flecks of snow out of her hair and blew them away before they could melt on his bare fingertips. "See?" Lionel laughed. "Violence doesn't solve anything, Sally Anne." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She snorted, mostly laughing at the way his hair looked completely white with snow and there was nothing he could do about it. She brushed a few flakes off his forehead. "What solves anything, then, Lionel?" Sally asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I hear all you need is love." Lionel grins as he says it, too, laughing at himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah?" she asked, not able to contain her giggling. "What about it, Paul McCartney?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Paul?" Lionel echoed, nose wrinkling. "I'd totally be John. You can be Paul." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whatever, jerk, I'm totally George!" she argued, flicking him in the neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, don't flick me or I'll make you be Ringo," Lionel threatened, poking Sally in the side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She made an awkward little squirm and squealed when he poked her -- Sally was so ticklish. "You wouldn't!" she cried. "That's horrible!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, you wanna test that theory?" Lionel challenged, even if he already knew Sally was right -- he wouldn't do anything bad to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lescene 2008-11-22 07:20 am UTC (link)
	She wrinkled her nose. "I can't risk it! What if I start wearing those ridiculous sunglasses? It's just a risk I can't take, Lionel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ugh what if you started to get the nose?" Lionel shuddered. "Alright alright alright, I guess you're better off as Sally Anne." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lescene 2008-11-22 07:29 am UTC (link)
	She covered her nose and gasped. "Lionel, don't even think of such a thing!" Sally exclaimed. "That would be like having a double Snape nose." She made a face. "What would you do if I had a nose worse than Snape's?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Buy you a Groucho Marx moustache," Lionel answered smugly. "But here's the real question. What would Snape do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shuddered and made a disgusted, disturbed noise. "He'd probably be turned on," Sally admitted. Oh, wait. Wasn't that what usually happened, anyways? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lionel scowled. "Never liked him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's a bit of a creep, isn't he?" Sally sighed, resting her chin on his chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkleboy 2008-11-22 07:41 am UTC (link)
	"More than just a bit," Lionel grumbled. "When you're graduated you'll never see him again, though." Not if he can help it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lescene 2008-11-22 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Sally shrugged. "I'm not worried. It's not like I'm going to do anything with him anyways." She stuck out her tongue in disgust. "I don't really go for the greasy boys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkleboy 2008-11-23 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"Greasy boys go for you," Lionel teased, laughing a little. "You have to stop leading them on, love." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lescene 2008-11-23 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Sally started laughing. "Who else is greasy? Peter?" She snorted. "Lionel, that was so a gay cover, and you know it." She grabbed a bit of snow with her gloved palm and shoved it in his hair, grinning down at him mischievously from on top of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sparkleboy 2008-11-23 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"Ahhhhhh," Lionel said, cringing away from the snow in his hair. "Sally that's COLD! And yes, Peter was greasy. And gay. So that's two for two there. You've really got to start picking better boyfriends, love." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lescene 2008-11-23 01:20 am UTC (link)
	She raised her eyebrows. "What? That's what, Lionel? Put more snow all over your face? What did you say?" She picked up more snow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
