Rose for a Dragon Slayer

[Gwen Owens-Lee]

Gwen didn't really have much of an opinion on Valentine's Day. Last year she had helped deliver roses to try to meet new people and so thought she might as well do that again. She entered the Great Hall that morning during breakfast time with her large basket of roses. There were so many more roses to deliver this year and Gwen had to get started quickly if she wanted to deliver them all in one day. Her first rose to deliver was to a much older Slytherin and Gwen had never even seen this person before. Their name was really cool in Gwen's opinion, and she rather liked it. She stood at the top of the Slytherin table. "Xena Dragonslayer!" she exclaimed, looking over the heads of people as she tried to see if anyone reacted to the name.

 

[Xena Dragonslayer]

Xena had grown to like Valentines Day, especially now that she had a boyfriend. She figured all the naysayers about the celebrations were just upset that they didn't have anyone to love them. Xena, of course, had sent a rose to Hayden, and she was definitely expecting one back from him, so she wasn't entirely surprised when someone called out her name. Xena raised her hand, her eyes glancing at the girl. "Over here."
