🌹 Rose Giving Another Yellow

[Lucy Montague]

Lucy was humming to herself as she checked the next person on her list. This whole exercise of delivering roses really made her realise she didn't interact with many students at all outside her year. Another Ravenclaw, she noted, as she traversed the castle, eventually making it to the first floor corridor. There she found the boy in question - Valerius - another older student, which did intimidate her slightly. "Um, hello," she greeted him as she saw him. "I've got a rose for you," she said politely, hoping he wouldn't find that objectionable.

Valerius was heading for the gardens when he heard someone spoke. He turned, smiling softly. "Oh, really? Thank you," He offered. "It's Lucy, isn't it?" He asked, thinking he recognized her from the Quidditch team.

 

[Lucy Montague]

"Yes, it's Lucy," Lucy said a little nervously, lacking her usual enthusiasm just a tad. She hoped he knew her for good things, and not for anything bad (not that Lucy did bad things). "Uh, anyway, here's your rose," she said, handing it over with the note attached. "I hope it's a nice one." She secretly wondered if anyone sent mean ones - surely not, though.

Spoiler: Note

Ευτυχισμένη μέρα του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου!
Thank you for helping me so much.

Magne

Valerius smiled and glanced at the note, his smile automatically getting wider. "Oh, Magne," He murmured. He looked back up to Lucy. "It is, thank you. How are you?" He asked, trying to be polite.

 

[Lucy Montague]

"Oh! I'm, um, good. Yes. It's a lovely day to hand out roses," Lucy said with a genuine smile. "I love seeing people's reactions. Is that a bit creepy?" Lucy laughed awkwardly. She wished she didn't feel so on edge around older students but she couldn't help it. They made her feel a little lowly, like she wasn't quite good enough yet to hang around them. Valerius seemed nice, or polite at least, so far.

 

[Valerius Bianchi]

Valerius chuckled. "Not at all, I think we're all a bit curious." He replied, hands in his pockets. "How have the rest of your deliveries been?" He asked, giving her the chance to talk it out if she'd like to.

 

[Lucy Montague]

Lucy fidgeted with her robe slightly, a nervous gesture. "Um, it's been pretty good! It's fun meeting new people too. I even met a Slytherin who was nice!" She paused, thinking. "Sometimes I almost want to peek at what others have written but I don't, because I know that's bad. But is it bad to be tempted?" Lucy asked, a little hesitant to hear his answer.

 

[Valerius Bianchi]

Valerius chuckled. "It would be odd if you weren't," He told her. "I bet all the deliverers are tempted to look at their notes." He tried to sound reassuring. He'd not signed up for that exact reason. Well, that and it just sounded like a lot of effort he didn't feel like putting into much of anything.
