[HP] Leader's Exclusive Rose

The back garden of Diggory's house is not very big, but it is beautiful enough for six-year-old Rosalind - there are many kinds of flowers in the garden, but it is not difficult to see that the people who take care of the garden prefer Phalaenopsis, the purple-red clumps All of them bloomed beautifully in front of them, as if they were talking softly.

Rosalind walked closer, and carefully touched the tender petals.

Cedric's gray eyes shone with fine sunlight, and he only heard him say: "Do you like them?"

"I like it." Rosalind nodded without thinking, "They are very beautiful! Are these Phalaenopsis planted by Aunt Anna?"

"My mother usually waters them herself, but my father planted these phalaenopsis for her—because her favorite flower is phalaenopsis." Cedric's face was filled with happiness and pride, and he I live in a wealthy country with a pair of loving parents.

Rosalind hummed, her eyes still fixed on the flowers in front of her.

"What about you?" Cedric turned his gaze back on the girl, with Chu Xia's warm smile, "What's your favorite flower?"

"Rose." Rosalind looked around, and her dark brown eyes were filled with joy: "Red roses like that." She pointed to a red cluster not far away surrounded by irises.

"Okay, I remember." Cedric nodded beside him, his soft words dissipated in the warm wind.

The girl didn't hear what he just said, so she turned to look at him with a sly look in her eyes: "Cedric, do you want to know why?"

The boy tilted his head and responded, "I would like to hear more about it."

"My mother said my name——Rosalind, means 'rose in full bloom'. Perhaps this is also a very strange fate, isn't it? There is a rose in my name, and my favorite flower is also a rose." After finishing speaking, Rosalind trotted closer to the cluster of roses.

Cedric watched her quietly from a distance, and the red dress made the girl's cheeks more beautiful, as if she was really the incarnation of a certain red rose.

The May breeze in England blew by, stirring the girl's hair and plucking at his heartstrings.

"Can I come and play with you often in the future? I haven't made any other friends here..." Rosalind stood in front of the roses and looked at Cedric expectantly.

"Of course," Cedric stood under the light and gave her a firm answer, "You are welcome anytime."

"You can also go to my house to play with me! Then we will make an appointment~" The girl's black hair shook slightly, and she trotted back to him and held his right little finger.

Cedric looked at her movements and was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"Pull hook—this was taught to me by a friend when I was in China." Rosalind touched Cedric's with her thumb again as she spoke: "In this way, even if we have agreed, you must remember to find me Play!"

The corners of Cedric's mouth couldn't help but raised, and there was a trace of seriousness in his warm eyes: "Definitely."

"Rosa? Seid?" Brianna's voice came from the house, "Come in and eat~"

"Let's go, mother is calling us." Cedric took Rosalind's hand with a hook gesture, and returned to the house.

When Rosalind entered the room, she was attracted by the small cakes on the table, hurriedly ran to sit beside Mrs. Shen, and received a pat from her mother as expected.

Yucheng Shen and Amos Digory also reunited after a long absence, they were laughing and talking about their respective experiences, and after seeing their children entering the room, they all ended the topic with smiles.

Brianna pushed the tray containing the small cakes towards Rosalind: "Your mother said that you like strawberry shortcakes the most, so I tried to make some and try to see if I like them~"

"Thank you, Aunt Anna!" After receiving her mother's approval, Rosalind picked up a fork and took a sip, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth.

Seeing her smiling so happily, Cedric pushed the share in front of her to her.

"Huh? Thank you Cedric~" Rosalind's mouth was still puffed up, but she still took his share from Cedric.

Nora and Brianna looked at each other and then laughed together. Yucheng Shen and Amos also clinked their glasses in agreement.

"Aunt Anna, the gardens you take care of are beautiful!" Rosalind sighed sincerely, she really liked them.

"Oh? Does our little Rosa like flowers too?" Brianna looked at her lovingly.

Rosalind nodded vigorously: "Yes! I like it very much, especially the bunch of red roses!"

"If you like, you can pick one later~" She said and looked at her son again, "Sed, then please accompany little Rosa, and remember to pick the best one for her~ "

"Of course, I'm very happy." Cedric nodded obediently, and turned his head to meet Rosalind's bright eyes full of expectation.

Cedric could not pick out the prettiest rose—or, in his opinion, the prettiest rose was standing beside him at the moment.

Rosalind was a bit hesitant to do it, after all, she liked every flower very much, and each flower was unique.

"Cedric, which one do you think looks better?" The girl turned around, smelling the scent of flowers.

The boy felt his face was hot, indeed, his ears were already covered with bright red.

Stretching out his arm to pick off the most gorgeous flower for her, Cedric felt a little nervous for no reason.

"It suits you very well, this one." He was a little incoherent, but Rosalind didn't care much, and took it happily and immediately sniffed it.

The scent of roses is always easy to intoxicate—

This is the conclusion that Cedric later recalled based on personal experience.

"Do you want to go out for a walk? There is a lake near our house, and I often go there." Cedric gently invited Rosalind, his gray eyes full of sincerity.

"Okay ~ take a walk after dinner, live to 99!" Rosalind nodded, but when she saw Cedric's surprised expression, she immediately added: "Oh, that's a Chinese proverb just now. live in China."

"So that's the case," Cedric nodded knowingly, "It's okay, I will help you adapt to life here as soon as possible."

The afternoon sun shines on the quiet lake, and there is an indescribable sense of tranquility and sacredness from a distance.Rosalind always liked to be alone before, and her grandfather always had complicated emotions in his eyes every time he saw her. Later, for some reason, her parents seldom took her to visit her grandfather.

"Cedric, do you come here often?" Rosalind asked as they walked.

"Well, I sometimes ride a broom with my father and fly around the lake a few times, I think it's very interesting-do you know broomsticks?" Cedric recalled some interesting memories and couldn't help but want to ask her share.

Rosalind's eyes were full of surprise: "I don't know, it can fly, broom?"

"Yes, there's also Quidditch!" The boy's expression was a little more excited than before, "Our family likes Quidditch very much, it's a wizard-only sport on a broomstick , maybe you'll like it too."

"Can you tell me a little more about wizards?" Rosalind was very curious about this new term, so the two small groups found a clean place to sit on the ground, and Cedric also began to tell her about the world. story.

Sunset and evening breeze, blue sky and white clouds, everything at that time was so beautiful and worth remembering.

Cedric looked up at the burning sunset in the sky, and the orange afterglow swayed wantonly on them.

"Can I call you Rosa in the future? You can also call me Seid directly." The boy's fingers were pinched together imperceptibly, but his tone was trying to maintain a calm tone.

"Okay~" Rosalind still held the blooming rose in her hand, and looked sideways at the brown-blond boy with a smile on her face.

"Sed," she called.

Dark brown crashed into gray, and since then the rose has been seared in his heart.
