Oh, because I'm really going to write it out for all to see and spoil the surprise for everyone.
But if you like, you may come talk to me and I'll tell you in person instead.
Milk would work just as well, but rowan is more prevention than milk. With milk you have to wait for them to actually show upn so you can pour it on them, whereas rowan will just keep them away before they appear.

What you think it actually works? I mean, sure, rowan's great and all but she'd have as much luck pouring milk on them, I'd have thought.
Yeah, I reckon she would. But, you know she's a Muggle, right?

I mean I'm pretty inexperienced at this dating at this girl at this Valentine's stuff, but I'll do my best, heh.

I probably have even less experience than you, but I'm going to try my best. It's only a silly holiday in the end.
