🌹 Rose Giving What Does Pink Mean?

[Oscar Davies]

After asking around the seventh-floor corridor if someone knew a boy called Nikko Blackwood, Oscar was relieved to hear that Nikko was a Gryffindor. Since he was already close to the Gryffindor common room, the boy hoped to find his next delivery here as well. He'd have to ask around some more otherwise, but as he had done that a ton already today, he didn't really mind approaching people for directions anymore. It was all a bit scary, to be honest, but the fact that most of the people were in such good spirits really made his job easier. ''Has anyone seen Nikko Blackwood?'' Oscar asked the students walking in the seventh-floor corridor. Surely someone knew where he could find Nikko?

Nikko had enjoyed watching everyone get roses and was pleased to see he had gotten any at all. He was just about to head out to the quidditch pitch for some afternoon practice, broom in hand, when by chance he heard his name. "You're looking for Nikko?" he asked the boy who seemed to be looking around a bit frantically. "Uh, that's me." he said and pointed at himself.

Oscar let out a sigh of relief when someone answered his call, glad that he didn't have to look very far for Nikko. ''That's good, then,'' the Ravenclaw remarked with an amused smile. It was almost magical, the fact that all of his deliveries were happening on the floor he happened to be at that very moment. He didn't mind the convenience, though, it made delivering roses a lot easier. ''Here you go, Nikko. I hope it's a good one,'' he said with a wiggle of his eyebrows as he handed the Gryffindor the pink rose.

Spoiler: Pink Rose

You're awesome.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Nikko looked curiously at the pink rose in the other boy's hand and his mind started to race. He already got the awkward rose from Connor so he had no idea who this could possibly be from. "Oh thanks." he said absentmindedly, too distracted to really have a conversation. "Me too." he added as he read the note. His heart skipped a beat before falling straight to his stomach as he read Lucas' note. Nikko's feel felt frozen in place and he tried to process all of this. They had had a good time at the ball but they hadn't talked about if it was a date or not. Then with the mess with Connor...there was no way he would be able to show is face near the Hufflepuff table for a while he decided.

Oscar watched in silence how Nikko read the note, trying to see if anything would give away how he felt about what was written inside of the piece of paper. It was hard to tell, but the lack of a response was never a good sign. ''Not what you expected?'' he asked carefully, not really sure if he should meddle but still curious enough.

Nikko looked up quickly when the other boy asked him a question. "Not exactly." he said a little nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. He didn't exactly feel like explaining this uncomfortable situation to an actual stranger and he hoped his half explanation would be enough. "Well thanks." Nikko said quickly and nodded at him. "I gotta go." he added and went on his way.
