Xavier's Rose

[Daisy Parker-Taylor]

Valentines Day wasn't anything special to Daisy, but the thing that made it special at Hogwarts was the rose deliveries. She tried to sign up to delivery every year; she got to meet new people, and give them a bit of happiness.
Daisy was on to her last rose, and she was happy to see another familiar name. Sure, she had known who Elysia was, but Xavier was easily more approachable than the Ravenclaw girl. Daisy still had a bit of the day left, so she wasn't too stressed about time and finding Xavier straight away. She walked down the stairs and out the castle, asking people here and there if they had seen him, and it seemed she was heading in the right direction. Daisy loved the fresh smell of outside, and she was happy for an excuse to get out of the castle for a bit. She crunched her bare feet on the grass as she stepped onto the Lawn, before seeing Xavier. Her face lit up and she ran to the boy, giving him a hug from behind. "Xavier! I have something for you!" Daisy exclaimed, releasing him and holding out the red rose.

Receiving four roses had made Xavier's day, and possibly even his year! He could hardly believe that his friends loved him enough to think of him, let alone send him flowers that were so beautiful. He was walking from the cliffs, and through the great lawn with his fourth rose in one hand when someone approached him, hugging him from behind. Initially the contact startled him, and Xavier squirmed away from the hug. But after realizing who had given him the hug, and what they might have approached him for, Xavier relaxed and said. "Oh, hey Daisy. Do you have a rose for me?" He asked, not fully believing that he could be given another rose on that day. It would mean a total of five, which would be the most roses he had ever received!

Daisy released Xavier after feeling him squirm, but a large smile was still present on her face as she held out the boy's red rose. "I do! And it's red!" Daisy exclaimed, as if it wasn't obvious. She hadn't read any of the notes, but she was really excited to finally give out her only red rose that she was delivering. The reaction to this rose was bound to be great!

Love you brother!

Xavier gasped in a mix of shock and excitement as Daisy confirmed she was delivering him a fifth rose. Not only that, but it was red, too! He jumped up and down on the spot, clapping excitedly although being mindful of the rose he was still holding. He then held out his free hand to accept the other rose. He fumbled with both flowers in his hands as he read the note, and when he realized it was from his favourite person in the world; his twin brother, he looked up from the note and beamed at Daisy more than he had been beaming before if it were possible. "This is amazing! Thanks!" He then moved his arms to capture Daisy in a hug of his own, fully elated to have received five roses that day from everyone he loved. That valentine's day had been the best one of his life, for sure.
