Challenge: The Worst Pick-Up Lines Ever...
but hey, it doesn't hurt to try.
-Hermione has to be of age. Whether the story happens post-Hogwarts or not is up to you.
-At least six wizards, including Severus, are all dateless on that day. They gather together in some sort of pub or restaurant and whine about finding no date. These wizards cannot be O/C, but who this group consists of is up to you.
-Hermione is in the same pub or restaurant, alone or with one female friend. She has put on a charm on herself willingly, so that she is very pretty and unidentifiable. Whether the reason behind this, be it her own or her friend's idea, is included is up to you.
-The wizards notice the beauty of her, and go to her one by one and attempt to start a conversation with pick-up lines. The reason for they to do this can be (but is not restricted to) a bet/ a dare/ a challenge of who gets the pretty girl. The reason must be included.
-Hermione may or may not enjoy the attention. However, whatever she (and her friend) does, she does not snap and say 'sod off.' Our Hermione is more witty and elegant than that. What she says to the wizards will be a good time for you to show her wits and sense of humor.
-Between the pick-up lines there may be subtle hints and poking fun of sex, but please, don't resort to blatant statements of obscenity. Our Severus (and most wizards that we like enough to put into our stories) will not go up to a girl and say "hey baby, wanna have lots of wild sex" The pick-up lines are supposed to show, again, their wits, humor, and most of all, silliness.
-Yes, pick-up lines are silly. The story must include at least six bad, really bad pick-up lines.
-Severus is the only one in the group that is allowed to know that the girl is really Hermione in disguise beforehand. Whether he knows this or not is again your choice. He is also the only one allowed to discover her disguise in the middle of the story.
-Severus may or may not be already dating Hermione. A reason must be included why aren't they spending Valentine's together if he is. If he is not, he must at least be harboring some feelings for the undisguised her.
-Severus must be the one who ends up going out with Hermione.
-In the end, Hermione must lift the charm and reveal herself to Severus (if not to everybody). Whatever Severus' initial response is, the ending must not be him leaving her, feeling betrayed. He may be shocked, but remember, he has feelings for Hermione. They story must end with them, if not becoming an item and kissing madly, at least being happy.
-If for any reason the group of wizards has to include Voldemort, Lucius and Draco Malfoy, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew or the like, the reason must be given.
Optional:
-The group of wizard, by some way or another, listens to each other's pick-up line and laugh.
-Severus being reluctant to join the game
-Severus saying the worst pick-up line ever and getting Hermione
-Heart-shaped chocolates, white and pink roses, jazz, and perfume
-A romantic lighting rather than candles
-Severus getting jealous
