"Psst, Herminny...what in Merlin's name are we supposed to be doing?" she whispered, glancing back and forth between her partner and the professor. LouAnn was the world's worst at Divination. This flower stuff was surely not the factual information she'd hoped for. A look at Cela out of the corner of her eye told her that she was supposed to choosing three flowers.
"Alright....tussie mussie, here I come!" LouAnn thought to herself. Hmm....eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
...alright, those were three she thought would suit the situation well. She passed her list over to Herminny.
When Herminny didn't immediately respond, LouAnn decided to take the extra time to document why she'd actually chosen those three flowers. She dipped her quill in ink and began to write...
The first flower I've chosen is a blue rose. I chose it, because it represents mystery, and that's what my life really is. Sometimes I just feel as if I'm a living, breathing, mystery that no one will ever truly know. You see, when I was ten-years-old, I witnessed a crime in the woods behind our family's old home. Afterwards, my little brother and I were placed in the Witness Protection Program, the one for magical people, and we were told that we have to relocate to a new country every two years and change our last name each time we do so. So here I am, five years later, and I've actually been referred to by five very different (and unusual last names). It's for those reasons that I feel like a mystery to everyone I will ever meet.
The second flower I've chosen is an Oxeye daisy. I chose it, because it represents how patient I've learned to be with the direction my life has taken me in. It's not easy moving around so much, especially when you have to introduce yourself as LouAnn October or LouAnn Purple. I've just sort of learned to accept things and not get so impatient with the curveballs life keeps throwing at me.
The last flower I've chosen is a white poppy. I chose it, because it represents dreams and peace. Although I'll always dream of a slightly easier life, I think I've come to peace with the way things will always be. I can either endure things with a smile on my face, or I can continue to have a pity party and make life miserable. I know things won't always be easy, but as of now, I feel good about life and how I must live it. I feel, just as the white poppy represents, at peace.
