Summary: Katie works on Dean's Valentine's Day present.
Completion: Complete



Katie stood in the kitchen, her mother's recipe book on one side, Care of Magical Creatures notes on the other. She was nervous about making a cake for Dean, but felt it was the perfect gift. He knew she wasn't that great in the kitchen, so something she'd made him herself would be all that more meaningful. He didn't have to know that cheesecake was "dead easy" according to her mother, who'd given her a fool-proof recipe on Saturday. It would taste brilliant and hopefully look really nice. And even if it didn't, she knew Dean'd love it, because he was that kind of guy. She smiled to herself as she poured the cheesecake mixture into the spring-form pan. She knew she was so lucky to have him, so lucky that he cared about her, despite all her past mistakes. She wasn't afraid to tell him anything, because after telling him about what'd happened with Seamus, it seemed that he wouldn't be scared away. He was the perfect guy. And she hoped that she could show him how incredible he was tomorrow.

Katie slid the chocolate raspberry cheesecake into the oven ("Raspberries add a little something special to ordinary chocolate," her mother had said) and set the timer. Then she gathered up her notes and sat down at the table to study. After a moment, she ran up to her room and brought down a small picture frame. Inside was a copy of the picture Alicia had taken of Dean and Katie at Al's birthday party. Katie'd taken the negative and had it developed the Wizarding way so the picture moved. Dean's was already in a matching frame and wrapped up in her bag. Katie's copy sat on her bedside table, but right now, making Dean's Valentine's Day present, she wanted it to be close by. She knew it was silly, knew she was being a romantic sap, but she indulged herself. She looked fondly at the picture's occupants and they smiled and waved. Picture-Katie was resting her head on Dean's chest and he was stroking her hair. Katie sighed happily as she watched them for a few moments before turning her attention to her studies.
