Mira's POV:

The next morning, I woke up in my soft bed and smiled softly. Last night had been fun. I never expected to enjoy the company of Lucius Malfoy. But I did. He was really...sweet. One of my dorm mates, Dana, walked over to me.

"Mira, there's something downstairs for you." She said

I nodded. "Thanks Dana."

Then I got up and got dressed. Since it was Saturday, we could wear normal clothing, so I pulled on my outfit and left. (Picture of her outfit above)

As I walked down to our common room, I smelled something sweet. As I got to the bottom of the stairs I saw that dozens of white lilies, my favorite flower, covered our common room. Some in cases, some just lying around, but there were a lot of them.

I gasped as I saw them.  Running up to Dana, I asked, "Who are these from?"

The blonde girl shrugged. "No idea." She replied. "A bunch of owls dropped them here this morning."

I spotted a blood red envelope on top of one bouquet. I picked it up and opened it. In beautiful black ink was written, 'These flowers cannot possibly compare to your beauty. They are all for you, my princess. And I promise more gifts and attempts to win your golden heart will follow. With the truest love, your secret admirer."

I blushed brightly at the thought of a secret admirer and showed Dana and one of our other friends, Jasmine, the envelope. The girls squealed and told me right then and there that I had to find out who'd sent the flowers.

I smiled and told them I would. Then, after putting one of the stray flowers in my hair, I set off to breakfast, wondering what would come next.
