Open Rose for Mervyn

[Flavio Morales-Tipene]

(Yellow for Mervyn Strangeways , open after Claire)​

​

After arriving to the great hall, Flavio was ready to get the majority of his rose deliveries out of the way. The next person on his list was Mervyn Strangeways and knowing the boy was in Gryffindor, Flavio headed to the Gryffindor table to find him. "Is Mervyn here?" He called out, reading from his list first and then looking to the table to see if there was a response. The name was unusual and Flavio hoped he had pronounced it correctly.​

Valentine's Day wasn't really Mervyn's thing. He thought the whole idea of it was soppy and embarrassing, and wished he could have stayed in his dormitory at least until the morning excitement of roses had died down. But he had lessons to go to, and he couldn't focus on schoolwork on an empty stomach, so reluctantly he made his way down to the great hall, hoping not to bump into Sapphire. He hadn't sent her a rose. Maybe he should have, even though he didn't want to, just to make her happy. Half way through his breakfast he heard the head boy asking for him, and looked up. "Me - that's me," he said, waving the Ravenclaw over. He didn't have to like Valentine's Day to get a bit excited that someone liked him enough to send him a rose.

Soon enough a boy waved, confirming he was Mervyn and Flavio wasted no time walking over to him. "Hello, I have this rose to deliver to you." He said, pulling the yellow rose from his basket and handing it to the boy. A moment later he found the note meant to accompany it, and handed that over as well. "Happy Valentines day!" Flavio added, pleased that he had managed to make his second delivery easily. He hoped this was a sign the rest of his deliveries that day would go well.​

Hey Mervyn,

You’re a funny guy, let’s do something cool again soon.

Thanks for being a pal!

[Leda Layton]

It didn't escape her notice that her best friend now had more than one rose. Leda had only sent one herself and that was to Professor Pendleton demanding more cake in lessons, a real good use of the plants if anyone was to ask her. Kicking her legs over the bench, she crossed the room to take a seat beside the Gryffindor with a yellow flower in his hand. "You know if we boil that down, it could probably be put towards something useful." She said with a smirk.​
