A well-deserved thank you

[Professor Landon Carter]

Landon didn't expect that it would be hard to find the next person on his list of rose deliveries. Lucy was popular, well-known, and probably spent most of her time on the quidditch pitch considering how good she was at the sport, and so that's where he was headed to find her. There weren't too many people on the pitch, however Landon had to squint at the sky to see if he could try and recognise her. When his eyes found her, we was happy for this, and he waved at her, motioning for her to come down. He just hoped that she spotted him as he did feel a bit silly waving his arms in the air.

Lucy's deliveries had been taking her up and down the castle all day, and she couldn't pretend it wasn't exhausting. She had earned a little break, and after her delivery to Bailey had taken her outside.... well, the pitch was right there, and with the championship coming up it would serve well to get a few laps in today, if nothing else. So she'd set her basket carefully in the locker room and gotten her broom ready, a rush of relaxation washing over her as she took to the sky. It was during her second lap that she spotted a figure waving on the ground, jumping slightly with nerves when she realised it was Professor Carter. Surely she wasn't in trouble for taking a little break? She shot down to the ground quickly, jumping off her broom before it had quite come to a stop and stumbling slightly with the momentum. "I'm sorry Professor!" She called out, quickly righting herself and running over to meet the Head of House. Professor Carter taught her favourite subject, and the last thing she wanted to do was make him mad. "I was just taking a break, I've already finished most of my deliveries. I'll finish them soon, I promise!"

 

[Professor Landon Carter]

Landon couldn't help but feel a little guilty as Lucy came down and quickly apologised for taking a break. He always tried his best to not be so intimidating, but somehow he was, and he hated that about himself. Perhaps Jonah wasn't the only one that thought he was so terrifying. "No, don't ever apologise for looking after yourself!" he exclaimed reassuringly. "How has your Valentine's Day been so far? Pretty busy with the rose deliveries I assume?"

 

[Lucy Holland]

Lucy relaxed immediately, when Professor Carter spoke, relieved that she wasn't in trouble. "It's been good!" She said cheerfully, leaning on her broom slightly. "I had a delivery out here, so I was just getting a little practice in before I go back to it." She explained. "Have you been having a good day, Professor?"

 

[Professor Landon Carter]

Landon nodded as Lucy said she was getting some practice in before getting back to the rose delivering. He knew that she was very dedicated to quidditch and so this did not surprise him. "I have also been having a good day, especially with these rose deliveries." he said in response, reaching into his basket for her rose. He pulled out a bright yellow rose with a note attached to its stem and held it out to her. "This one here is yours!"

To Lucy,
Thanks for being the best co-captain ever! Team Lucy!

Lucy's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Professor Carter's basket properly for the first time. She had just assumed he was carrying things around for one of his classes, or maybe the Wild Patch Club, but... "Oh!" She said brightly, accepting the rose. "Thank you! I didn't know teachers were even allowed to deliver." She smiled as she opened the note, beaming even brighter as she read it. As far as Lucy was concerned, she couldn't imagine a better name twin/co-captain.
