Harry had a pretty poor track record when it came to Valentine's Days, and that was before the island became a factor in his life. He regarded the approaching day with trepidation, disliking the treacly kind of sweetness that usually permeated the holiday and anticipating some new interference from the island. Turning everything into candy was well and good. But you couldn't trust the island magic to be that kind always.
When he woke up that morning, everything felt wrong, but that was only because Hermione was still gone. That feeling had yet to leave him, even months later, although it did seem to be fading, easing to a dull ache in his belly. Other than that, there was nothing. Nothing had transformed: not the environment and not Harry. A quick walk through the Green Arrow Estates confirmed that no one else seemed to be suffering of anything. It was early yet, but usually people switching bodies or changing personalities entirely got found out fairly quickly.
Harry's hopes were steadily creeping upward as he approached Kate's place and saw her simply playing with Chang. He checked his back pocket once again to make sure her gift was safe and sound, then dared to give her a grin.
