Red- I love you
She said yes!
Seamus couldn't help but grin idiotically as he fastened the latest rose to his owl's leg.
There was no note tied to this rose but no one could misunderstand a red rose's meaning. It said- it screamed- 'I love you'.
Lavender had snuck up to him in the hallway after lunch. She tapped him on the shoulder and, when he turned round, smiled her brilliant, amazing smile at him.
"Yes," she whispered.
"What?"
"Yes!"
She winked a gentle, beautiful wink and ran over giggling. Seamus finally got it- Lavender was going to the Yule Ball with him! - and his face assumed the stupid grin that would remain there for the foreseeable future.
So, Seamus decided that one more romantic gesture was needed. Leanne had told him that a single red rose meant 'I love you' so that was the obvious choice considering Seamus's mood.
The owl flew off into the sky and Seamus smiled. What else could he do? He was going to the Yule Ball with Lavender Brown!
