After dinner, I went back to Neville's dorm with some soup. While I was there I also made the potion for the plant. Gryffindors really know how to have fun, especially with the twins there. I feel like they're gonna be successful one day.

I couldn't get what Dubledore told me out of my mind. There's just something odd about him. He has a lot of secrets. Too many secrets. But I know he wants me to figure out what he said.

"How are you feeling love?" I ask him as I mix the potion.

"Alright, this soup is really good though. Thank you," he smiles.

"It's no problem, I'm just glad you're feeling okay."We stay silent for a couple of seconds before I decide to speak up again. "So do I sleep with you?"

His eyes widen and he blushes. "Y-yeah, unless you want to sleep on someone else's bed."

I look at the other beds and scrunch my nose. "No thank you, I'm pretty sure Ron's has crumbs all over it."

We both laugh as I bring over the finished potion. I pour it on the plant's soil and suddenly, the awful smell that was in the room is gone. It worked!

"Wow, amazing!" He smiles.

"Thank you," I smile and look at the clock. I gasp. I didn't realize how late it was. "I'm going to go change in the bathroom, okay?"

"Alright."

After changing into my pijama pants and shirt, I go over to the bed and lay down beside Neville.

I laugh. "You don't have to be so tense Neville, it's okay." I grab his arm and pull him closer to me, he relaxes.

"Sorry, I'm not used to sleeping with someone else," he wraps me in his arms and I do the same. "Aren't you going to get sick?"

I shrug. "It doesn't matter."

"Are you sure? Maybe you should just-"

"Neville," I cut him off with a smile. "It's okay."

He smiles back and closes his eyes. "I'm glad I have you."

"Me too."

It's been a week and the second trial is almost here. None of us know what it's going to be which is a bummer but we'll just have to be prepared for whatever is coming. I'm currently shampooing my hair but for some reason it's starting to feel warm. Maybe I changed the brand or something? I look at my hands and my eyes widen. What in the world.

I quickly rinse my hair and wrap it in a towel. I stand in front of the mirror and take a deep breath. I take off the the towel and scream.

"What's wrong, did you get hurt?!" Cho comes in quickly and her eyes widen as she looks at my hair. "...maybe get dressed and we'll see what we can do about that."

After I get dressed, I go out in the dorm and sit in a chair while Cho blow dries my hair. "I used the same things I always use! How could this happen? How could my hair go from brown to dark red?"

"Maybe one of the potions that you made?" Cho asks.

I furrow my eyebrows. "Or maybe..."

"...Or maybe?- ohhhh yeah it was definitely them. Well, I'm done with your hair. Go get them."

I smile. "Thanks Cho."

"No problem, good luck," she winks.

"Asphodel? What are you doing at- Woah, who did that to you-"

I cut Ron off. "Where are your brothers?"

"Fred and George? They're in their dorm, why?"

"No reason," I walk past him and go straight to the twins' dorm. I open the door and stare at both of them. They both laugh as they realize the color of my hair.

"Hahaha very funny, I know this was you two," I say.

"Lighten up!" Fred says.

"It was just a little joke." George says.

"Oh really? Fine then, good one," I extend my hand out.

Fred laughs. "I'm not falling for that one."

"Of course you aren't," I take the same hand and take out powder from my pocket and blow it into both of their faces.

They both rub their eyes. "What is that?" George asks.

I shrug and go for the door. "Maybe you should look at yourselves in the mirror." I smile and head out.

As I'm walking back to my house, I chuckle to myself.

The Weasleys look funny with green hair.
