Vermilion Rose

[Kauri Morales-Tipene]

After eating breakfast, Kauri was eager to continue his deliveries. His next rose's recipient was very vaguely familiar, as April's friend's sister, and Kauri recognised her enough to know she was a Slytherin. Hoping to catch her on the way to or from her common room he hovered around in the busy corridors of the dungeons, keeping his eyes peeled for the girl he was looking for. When he finally spotted her Kauri hurried over, smiling brightly. "Hi! You're Gilly Gillespie, right?"

 

[Gilly Gillespie]

The slytherin knew that her brother had likely sent her a rose, like she had done back to him, but she didn't want to bother with the fanfare of it all. She was trying to avoid any person. Any people who might try to give her a rose, but she unfortunately got spotted. She frowned at the boy who approached her, but she nodded, "Yeah," she didn't how norton could be as friendly as he was, and she was just looking at the other boy, waiting for him to do what he needed to do.

Kauri gave Gilly a cheerful smile, relieved that he had found the right person. "Hey! I've got a Valentines delivery for you!" He said happily, rummaging in his basket for a moment to make sure he had the correct rose. There wasn't any message attached other than the recipient's name, but Kauri was still excited to hand this one over. There was something so exciting about delivering red roses, and he couldn't wait to see Gilly's reaction as he passed it over to her. "There wasn't a message attached to this one, just the rose. Happy Valentines day!"

Gilly nodded at the boy but said nothing until the rose was produced. She looked at it and nodded, not surprised that there wasn't a note. He knew exactly who it was from anyway. She could be spared the injustice of having to tell anyone who it was from, "I know who it's from," she said to almost assure the boy, "Thanks," Gilly walked away from the boy with nothing more to say there was no need to drag the interaction out.
