The color orange had always been a color that Lavender was fond of. She never really knew why, but it was a color she enjoyed wearing. So when she first saw Ron Weasley it was his hair she was immediately drawn to.
For so many years she thought that he never noticed her and she had been shy, but after years had gone by at Hogwarts, she had changed. She had stood in the background for so long, but she couldn't resist that orange hair anymore. This time she would act on her feelings instead of hiding in the shadows.
