Li trudged into the Great Hall, keeping her eyes on the floor. She reached up to scratch the back of her head, pondering her thoughts very carefully. Luckily, she didn’t have to look up to know where the Hufflepuff

Now how was she supposed to stay sulky with Li's cute face right in front of her own? She smiled despite herself as the girl gave a silly laugh.

"Purple? I don't know about that." Truthfully, Sunny cared very little for fashion. She watched the girls in her dorm agonise over clothes and make-up and jewellery and it just seemed to make her tired. What was the point of it all? If you were about to be eaten by a dragon would the fashion statement you made that day really make any difference? It's not like people would be standing around at the funeral going 'yeah, it's sad she died but THANK MERLIN her skirt matched her top'. She didn't deny she felt kind of special when she used to dress up for the balls her parents attended, but that all changed once she realised it made her 'one of the crowd'. Sunny didn't like being a sheep, following along with what everyone else did, but it was possible that, somewhere inside, she was just afraid no one would like her even if she did make an effort.

"I don't think anyone can get away with purple. It's like orange that way. Although I think I've seen you in every colour there is and you never look horrible."

Li wasn't a fan of fashion either. A lot of people told her that she dressed weird, or that it looked like she got dressed in a blackout. And to be honest? She didn't really care. Li was a lot like Sunny, in the sense that she thought that there were much more important things to worry about instead of what you're wearing, or if your skirt matches your top.

And there was nothing for Sunny to worry about! Li would like Sunny whether she made an effort or not! This random conversation was testimony to that!

"Waaaaugh, orange! MY WORST ENEMY! Gah, everyone says it makes my skin look funky weird. At first I didn't believe them, but then my BROTHER said that too! Isn't that terrible?" Li pouted.

Then she stopped. Did Sunny... compliment her? Li felt her face go crimson before she looked at the table, fiddling with the fabric of her socks. What was she supposed to say to that?

"You think so? Well... I'm sure I've got to look horrible in something, right?" she said almost quietly, trying to hide her blush. "Umm, I vote orange. Or maybe pink. I look LOUSY in pink!"
