🌹 Rose Giving A rose before class

[Jasper Beese]

Jasper wasn't particularly friendly with Sybil but they did have Defence Against the Dark Arts together and that was the perfect opportunity to deliver her rose. Jasper arrived a few minutes early for the lesson and stood beside the door as students filed past him, awkwardly saying hi to a few of them as they passed as it must look weird that he wasn't entering the classroom himself. He was waiting for @Sybil St. James to arrive specifically, once he clocked her he ran up to her, "Sybil, hi!" He said, "How are you?"

 

[Sybil St. James]

Sybil wasn't sure how she was supposed to balance delivering roses and going to class but some how she was managing. She still had a few left but she had to go to class. She was running a little late, which for her meant she was only a few minutes early. But before she could take her seat Jasper stopped her. She awkwardly paused and wasn't sure what to say since they usually didn't talk much. "Oh, hi Jasper." she replied with a sheepish smile. "I'm doing well. Um, how are you?" she asked and stared past him to where her usual spot was.

Jasper nodded, "Good, that's great." He shrugged at the question how was he, "I'm okay, I've lost my favourite gobstone somewhere but I'm sure it'll turn up." He noticed that Sybil looked distracted when speaking to him and looking past him instead of at him. He knew what might get her interested in the conversation. "Oh yeah, I have a rose for you! Would you like it?"

Sybil tried to seem engaged in this small talk, even if he was a little confused by it. She nodded sympathetically when Jasper mentioned a lost gobstone and perked up a little. "That's awful." she said sincerely. "Do you remember the last place you saw it?" she asked, trying to remember all the tips she knew about finding lost things. But that was put to the side when he brought up roses. "For me?" she asked, a little surprised and didn't do a very good job at hiding her excitement. "Oh, yes please!"

 

[Jasper Beese]

Jasper thouht about the question, it was simple really to think about the last place he saw it. “I think I last saw it on my bedside table.” He gasped as a sudden realisation hit him. “Maybe it fell and rolled under my bed? Sybil you genius! I'll check there next.” Before he would rush off to look (after class of course) for his gobstone, he reached into his bag, pulled out a yellow rose and handed it over. “There is a note attached too.” He decided to leave out telling her that he’d already read said note, since the prefect he delivered to last had not appreciated that.

Spoiler: Note

Hey future head girl! Thanks for being such a cool roommate and great friend! - Ruth

Sybil let out a shaky laugh as Jasper seemed to remember where he might have lost his gobstone and called her a genius. She appreciated the compliment but she wasn't sure if she had exactly earned it, not that she was about to argue. "Happy to help." she said simply and took the rose when he handed it to her. She read the note and smiled to herself. She might not have the most friends but she did have some good ones. "Thanks again." she said looking back to Jasper. "Um, happy Valentine's day. I should get to my seat."
