A Precious gift.

Filius Flitwick darted about Diagon Alley in a hurry, party because he had little time to get what he was looking for, and party because if he stood still too long some oaf wouldn't see him because of his small size. He stopped for a moment near the fountain to catch his breath. It was Pomona's birthday today, and he hadn't been able to find the gift for her that he wanted. He had gone to great lengths to have it ordered, yet the delivery was late. He hoped they were transporting it safely, this gift really was one of a kind, he hoped Pomona would like it. He decided to head back to the shop he'd ordered it from in the hopes the delivery had arrived in the country by now. As he made his way back down one of the aforementioned Oaf's didnt see him and spilt the basket of fruits they were carrying, a Lemon falling and barely missing him as he dodged out of the way muttering. He hurried on to the shop. The shop itself wasn't very grand, it was just a little flower shop. The woman inside was skilled at arranging the flowers so they looked pretty in displays, but he doubted she grew very many. She looked up as he entered,

'Ah Professor Flitwick there you are, your order arrived, what would you like done with it?' she asked pleasantly. Filius let out a sigh of relief.

'Could you have it brought to the castle, I've arranged with the groundskeeper Hagrid that he'll take care of it until I need it' He told her, the woman nodded and disappeared to the back of the shop as Filius said his thanks and goodbye.

Pomona Sprout awoke that morning with a feeling she'd forgotten something, then she remembered it was her birthday. She hopped out of bed and cheerily got herself ready for another day at Hogwarts as the Herbology Professor. Hopefully she'd see a little more of a certain Charms Professor today, it was her birthday she decided she would indulge a little more than normal.

As the day wore on, nothing exciting happened, being a Saturday there were no students to teach int he greenhouses, but Flitwick wasn't anywhere to be seen either. Until lunch that is. He was at the staff table for lunch and greeted her with a warm happy birthday and a request to meet him by the nearly empty greenhouse after lunch. She agreed and spent the whole of lunch wondering excitedly why he would want to meet her by the greenhouses.

As lunch ended the staff exited the great hall and went their separate ways. Pomona noticed Filius had already left and so wandered down to the greenhouses at a leisurely pace so as to give him time to sort whatever he'd rushed off to sort. He greeted her at the entrance to the green house, placed a blindfold lightly over her eyes and took her hand leading her inside. He lead her to the back of the greenhouse and lifted off the blindfold. Pomona's eyes went wide. Looking back at her was a beautiful, and extremely rare, orange flower. A Passiflora parritae flower, charmed to stay fresh and alive after being cut from it's original plant. Pomona looked at the plant in shock, there was only one left in the whole world and he'd managed to get a part of it just for her. Her eyes began to water and she turned to him,

'Happy Birthday Pomona' he said with a shy smile,

'Thank you Filius' she answered. He took her hand and gave it a slight squeeze. She lifted the flower in it's container and decided it would be safer in her quarters rather than outside in the school grounds with Hagrid's pets (beasts) roaming around, something so precious needed constant protection, especially a precious gift from Filius. They both wandered back to Pomona's rooms, Pomona with plant on one arm and her hands subtly brushing with the Charms Professor on the way. Neither of them noticed a certain silver haired wizard twinkling at them form above as they crossed the school grounds.
