It wasn't that Kate was one of those people who totally hated Valentine's Day and everything it stood for, but she'd never really cared much about it either. It was nice to get presents, but she'd lived on the island long enough now that she didn't expect anything.

Usually, what she expected on a day like today was something weird. The fact that she woke up in her own body had been nice and so far nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She didn't feel the need to tell everyone she loved them or act out of character. She didn't feel weird at all.

"I guess nothing is going to happen today," she said to Chang. "I should probably take you outside to play."

The dog bounced around the living room while she collected his ball and a pair of sandals, then raced through the door ahead of her when she opened it. Kate dragged her chair down off the porch and set it up in front of the hut, then began to throw the ball into the jungle for Chang.

"I'm glad you don't eat all my stuff," she said to him. "You know I'm not very good at being tough."

Harry had come to really like Chang, despite his name and ridiculousness. An owl was better than a dog; this he had to believe otherwise he was sure Hedwig would know his feelings and shun him. And a hippogriff was better than a dog, because he was sure Buckbeak would have been insulted otherwise, too. But the dog was definitely his third favorite creature on the island.

"He does love me best," Harry said, kneeling down to give Chang a scratch. That wasn't actually what he had meant to say at all. He had meant to reassure Kate, but the words just slipped out. He frowned slightly and tried to take it back a little.

"I mean, I think it's totally true."

..That wasn't right.

It was rude as well as not at all what Harry had meant to say, but when he opened his mouth to try to explain that to Kate, the words twisted and got caught in his throat.

Frowning, he shook his head. "Nothing weird," he said, which was again, wrong. "Everything's normal."

This was already starting to get on his nerves.

"Well, I didn't have anything planned."

Lie. Absolute lie. Harry didn't have a lot planned as he wasn't a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but he did have a present in his pocket and the intention of spending the entire day with Kate. The last thing he wanted was for Kate to spend the day holed up in her hut.

"I couldn't care less," he said, his voice rising in frustration. What was wrong with him?

"Just great," he said with gritted teeth. Harry couldn't control his voice. Nothing that he wanted to say was coming out and he couldn't tell why.

Except, of course...

"The island isn't doing anything for this holiday," he said with a dark, very obvious scowl.

It wasn't Kate's fault that she could only speak in rhymes. Harry reminded himself of that. But the couplets were not helping his mood at all. This was frustrating to him and the sound of her words felt like jeering.

"I-- I-- This is great," he said, throwing his hands up in the air. "This is just how I wanted to spend the bloody day."
