Open Gold for a First Year

[Lizzie Parker-Taylor]

(Yellow, for Everly Harrington, open after Steph)

With her first delivery finished, Lizzie made her way down to the breakfast table to find her second rose’s recipient. Lizzie barely knew any of the younger students in the school, somewhere along the line people younger than her had just become a blur of faces, all of whom made Lizzie quite certain that she had never been that young. Lizzie didn’t know what the recipient of her next rose looked like, so she made her way to the Gryffindor table, calling out cheerfully. “Everly? Everly Harrington?”

 

[Everly Harrington]

Everly was eating breakfast laughing with a few of her friends about something silly one of them said when she heard her name being called. She glanced up and then back to her friends unsure if the older girl was really looking for her. "That's me," she said shyly raising her hand. She hadn't talked to an older student before in depth, never needing to so this was weird for her to be called out by a much older student.

Lizzie smiled brightly, pleased to find the right person so quickly. She made her way over to the girl with the raised hand, pulling the rose from her basket as she went. "One rose delivery for you!" Lizzie said cheerfully, holding the rose out for her. "Happy Valentines Day!"

Spoiler: Note

Dear Everly,

You're really sweet and lovely. Thanks so much for all your help with our Gryff girl Maori lessons!

Love, Maddy

"Oh, thanks," Everly said turning to look at her friends at the table. She hadn't heard about this rose thing before and she wondered if it was a Gryffindor Quidditch thing, was she meant to try and take this girl's place next year. After all she did recognize the older girl as the seventh year on their house team. She hoped not, flying was fun but she liked names that required more running and less sitting.

Lizzie was pleased that the girl seemed happy to get her rose, smiling as the delivery was finished, and turning to head off on her next delivery.
