THE LONELY GATE HOUSE
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 9
Sasporilla Bucket had sent out her valentines mail last week to make sure it got to Hogwarts in time. It was lunch time when the mail man arrived. He had a bag full of red envelopes for the students and professors of Droorlily, as well as the regular mail. Strapped to his back was a giant six foot red velvet heart with fresh red roses adorning the lid.
Sasporilla thought the giant box of chocolates was funny and could only imagine how embarrassed, the person who received it, would be. The mail man put the bag down on the table where it would be handed out.
"Sasporilla Bucket!" The mail man called.
"Oh no." Sassy whispered slowly raising her hand. "Here sir."
The mailman unstrapped the giant box of chocolates from his back and carried it over to the pink haired witch.
"Special delivery from yer love Melvin!" The mailman smiled putting the box on the whole table.
Everyone looked at Sassy as she reached for the card blushing. Inside the card read.
"My dearest Sasporilla. I miss you. I love you and I hope we'll be together again soon. Happy Valentines my love. With All of My Love Melvin"
"Yer lover boy sent ya some candy?" Murphy asked sarcastically.
"Ya he t'inks she needs fattin' up." Michael laughed.
"Oh jaysus yes." Whinny Dingle laughed. "No one loves a skeleton. Ya need a bit o' paddin' girl."
"I have more than enough padding." Sasporilla protested looking behind her. "Thank you very much! Maybe a bit to much in some spots."
"Na." Wendy smiled. "Yer arse is perfect."
"Thank you!" Sasporilla said. "I will take your professional opinion as a compliment."
Sassy pulled the bow and the ribbon split apart. The heart grew skyward. A tower made from a series of ever smaller hearts containing singing chocolate frogs almost reached the ceiling. As the chocolate frogs sang chocolate waterfalls flowed down from the heart on top. The beautiful display was an amazing site.
"Jaysus your young man must be worth a bit." Jimmy Donnoly said. "Dis must've cost him dearly."
"I don't know what he was thinking spending this much on me?" Sasporilla said.
Sasporilla got up and walked to the head table.
"Headmaster." Sasporilla said.
"Yes?" Heatmaster O'Carrol asked looking at the huge chocolate display.
"Do you think it would be ok to share this with everyone sir?" Sasporilla asked. "I could never in my lifetime eat all of it! I just want to make sure doing do doesn't break any rules I don't know of."
"A most gracious act." Professor O'Carrol smiled. "Feel free ta do so love."
"Thank you Headmaster." Sasporilla said. "Would you care to let every one know? Teachers, staff and elves included."
"Of course." Professor O'Carrol smiled and stood . "All right ya gobshytes shut yer holes fer a minute! Miss Bucket has invited all of us, students, teachers, staff and elves to help yer selves to some of her valentines candy! Now don't crowd in, be respectful and get the fek out of my way as I'm first!"
Everyone enjoyed a bit of chocolate. Some came back for seconds. The youngest came for thirds and still there was quite a bit left over. She was sure she could've shared this box with everyone at Hogwarts with some left over. It was a most spectacular Valentines day gift.

A father, tired of hearing the stories and rumors of witches and warlocks on the island, left the pub early and staggered home. In the day, he'd have made a romantic night for his dear departed wife Maggie. These days he just had a drink in her memory at the pub and wandered home to his daughter Geraldine. Gerry was nearing thirty and still lived at home. She couldn't bare to leave her father to himself. He wished she'd make a life fer herself but he'd hate to be alone too.
As he walked in the front gate he saw Gerry standing in the garden.
"What are ya doin' out here girl?" Jimmy O'Rourke asked his daughter. She gave no answer. "Didn't ya hear me? What are ya doin' standin' in the damn garden?"
He touched his girls arm, her skin was cold as ice and hard as stone.
"They've fekin' killed her!" The old man screamed in horror, bring people out of their homes from up and down the street. "The witches turned my fekin' girl ta stone!!!"
