Unbelievable. Un. Believable. This is the last time. Last time. I ever agree to help Neville again in potions. Blue. I have blue hair. Blue! Oh god, the jokes that Fred and George will crack, I have to find a way to keep out of their sight until Madam Pomfrey can fix this. Blue. Hair.
"I'm really really sorry!" Neville said, for the hundredth time in the past hour, knocking Ron out of his thoughts. "So sorry!"
Count to ten. Ron told himself.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Sev- BLUE. HAIR!!!
"It's fine Neville, it was an accident." Ron replied to Neville, after finally managing to make it to ten. "It'll come out... I hope."
"I'm just horrible at potions! And Snape was right behind me, I could feel his breath on the back of my neck. I panicked and didn't pay attention to how much I was putting in the cauldron."
No, really? Ron thought silently.
"Seriously Neville, it's fine. If you want you can go back to the common room, I can wait here for Madam Pomfrey on my own."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Just tell Harry and Hermione I'm here. But ONLY if Fred and George aren't in the common room with them. They cannot find out, Neville. I'm serious."
"Got it. Again, I'm so sorry Ron. I promise you never have to partner with me again."
It took everything for Ron not to blurt out "Not for a thousand galleons!" He just nodded instead.
Ron leaned his head back against the wall, wondering how long Madam Pomfrey would be.
Unbelievable.
He thought back on the first time he met Tonks, with her pink hair and her ability to change it any color she wanted. Growing up in a sea of red heads and having any and everyone know what family you're from based on that alone was pretty tiresome. But this? This isn't what he had in mind during those idle times he thought about just being an average hair colored teenager. Blue!
"Honestly boys, one of these days you're going to come up with a concoction that I won't be able to reverse myself and you'll be sent to St Mungo's for who knows how long!"
"Won't happen again, ma'am." Two voices said in unison. Ron froze, "oh no oh no oh no" he muttered. Of all the people to be in Madam Pomfrey's office right now, it had to be Fred and George. He didn't have time to hide, before he knew it they were standing in front of him, mouth agape.
"Hey, little brother." Fred said. "Is something wrong? You're looking a little... blue." The twins cracked up.
"Man oh man, what did you get yourself into Ron? And why did you have to do it head first?" George said, barely able to get the sentence out without laughing.
Count to ten.
One. Two. Thr-I AM GOING TO KILL NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM.
"Are you two jokesters done?" Ron said, through gritted teeth.
"Oh Ronikins, you'll know when we're done." Fred replied, taking a seat to the right of his brother.
"Hey Fred, this actually gives me a great idea for our shop. You know Burt's Bees Every Flavor Jelly Bean? Well what if we do something like that, only certain colors would change people's hair color?!"
"Ooooooh! I like that! Hey Ron, tell us how you made this dazzling hair do happen."
"Eat dung." Ron said to both of his brothers and grabbed his sack and bolted out the door. Even half way down the corridor, Ron could still hear his brothers laughing hysterically.
Ron marched - stomped - up the stairs to his common room. He got to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Oh my! My oh my, if only Violet were here. Oh haha, Violet! Get it, violet.... blue. Oh I slay myself."
"Fairylights!" Ron spat, stone faced.
"Oh come on, you have to admit it was pretty funny." the Fat Lady said while swinging open. "Violet. Blue." She lapsed into another set of giggles to herself.
Harry and Hermione were sitting by the fire and both looked up once the portrait opened. Neville was also in the common room but refused to look up from his book.
"Not. A. Word." Ron said and stormed straight past them up to his bed. Once he was out of earshot Harry and Hermione fell into silent laughter.
