A Beautiful Rose

[Patrick Vernier]

Patrick was slowly getting through all of the roses he needed to deliver. It was definitely time consuming walking all around the whole castle just to find people, but Patrick hoped each person appreciated it nonetheless. The boy left the harder ones to last and so the next person on his list he hadn't ever seen or heard of before. What was worse was that they were in Slytherin house and so Patrick was forced to make his way down to the dungeons to try to find her. He stood against the wall as he watched people walking by, trying to find an approachable person to ask whether or not they knew her. Eventually he spotted an older Slytherin girl and quickly walked towards her. "Do you know... Fleur Worth?" he asked, gripping the basket of roses tightly.

 

[Fleur Worth]

Fleur was heading back in the Common Room after a boring day of classes and just wanting to get ready for the dance later that evening. On her way in she heard a tiny voice asking if she was who she was. Turning she looked down and spotted a small looking kid holding a bucket of roses. Her first instinct to be annoyed by being bothered completely changed when she saw the roses and a smile instantly came to her face. "I am Fleur, so you have a fleur for me do you?" She asked using the joke of her name before the kid could get to. Last year Rory had sent her a rose and in his note it'd say a fleur for Fleur, she thought it was sort of funny and also a little annoying of course she knew her name meant Flower in French. But she didn't enjoy the language jokes all the time.

Patrick took a sigh of relief when the girl said her name was Fleur. He didn't quite get her joke, as he didn't think it was any different to a normal sentence, and nodded at this seriously before digging around for the correct yellow rose in the basket. As he took it out he felt a prick from another rose and jumped at this, quickly handing the girl her rose in his bloody hand. "Oh, erm..." Patrick blushed as he quickly wiped the blood from his stinging hand on his robes, hoping the girl didn't notice this. "I hope you like your rose."

We're new friends, but you are beautiful and sophisticated. I can only hope we'll become better friends.
With love, Noemie

Fleur's face grew with disgust seeing the blood on the boy's hand when he handed her the rose. She hoped none of his blood actually got on her flower. Careful to not also get stung she offered the boy a smile before reading the note. It was Noemie, the really pretty Ravenclaw she had met through Evelyn. She thought it was really sweet that Noemie had thought of her to send a rose to, she wondered if she'd sent the other two roses as well. Most likely she did but it did make Fleur feel special knowing someone other than her boyfriend had thought about her on Valentine's Day. "Thank you, I do like it," Fleur said with a smile.

Patrick tried his best to ignore the blood coming out of his hand and nodded as Fleur told him she liked the rose. "That's... good." Patrick replied, wanting to get away from the situation as fast as possible. "I'm just going to, um, keep delivering." He started to turn around before remembering his manners. "Have a good day." he told her with a slight smile as he began to walk away, eager to fix his bloody hand before delivering his next rose.
