Hermione's Journal
Oh Merlin. I didn't actually realise Molly's shop was that big! Bill just... continues to absolutely amaze me. I sheepishly admit I didn't expect much of anything for Valentine's Day. He and I have just gotten together and well... I just didn't peg him as the hearts and flowers type! At the very least, I expected maybe an evening of very hot sex, which I expected to be Bill's style, but... no. I think he sent me bunches of every single flower type available in Britain at this time of year, and even some that aren't. Every single hour, on the hour, my office and apartment got flooded with more and more bunches of the most amazing flowers. I worry that the rest of Molly's customers missed out and some poor guy isn't now sitting somewhere girlfriendless because he missed out on buying a dozen roses for his girl.
My god, they are beautiful. Who would've thought? I'm not used to being spoilt like this. I've usually spent Valentine's Day just working. Harry always sends me a dozen roses and some small Valentine's novelty like a teddy bear. When they arrived this morning, I thought that was going to be it. The delivery guy handed them to me and I went to close the door behind him and he stuck his foot in the door and told me to wait! Just as I was about to rip him a new arsehole for being a tosser, his assistant traipsed in carrying - I still can't believe it - carrying FIVE DOZEN long stemmed red roses. How sad is it that I didn't even have a vase in my office? Not that it mattered, because they came with their own crystal vase anyway!
I just feel terrible now. I have a couple of small things to give to Bill tonight with a card, but I feel like I need to get him more now. But then, sending a boyfriend flowers isn't normally the done thing... I know some people do it, but Bill isn't the flower type, I don't think and I'm pretty confident he doesn't have a favourite flower. And his Mum is a florist! It doesn't seem right! Chocolates? A room full of flowers versus a box of chocolates? PUH-LEASE Hermione. You call yourself a lawyer!
I'm just going to have to stick with my original gift. Even then, I'm worried how he is going to take it. But it feels right. I don't think there is actually anything with Bill that doesn't feel right, though. I'm moving on from feeling unnerved by the whole thing now. I was at first. It took me all by such surprise. But now we have spent so much time together, it just feels like we belong together. Maybe I am destined have a piece of what Harry and Draco, and Oliver and Ali have? It certainly feels like I am. He treats me amazingly. In fact, again, Harry has really been the only guy who has treated me like something special, and I just thought that was because he was gay and it came naturally to him and that all straight me were just clueless. I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Bill is far from clueless. he knows exactly what to do and say to make me feel like the most special girl in the whole wide world. I don't deserve him...
But I'm so amazingly glad I have him.
