Red, for James Potter.
It's the color of the hair of the woman you most love in life. The color of the bristle of the first broom your father gives you. The color of the seal on the letter you've been expecting your entire life. The color of the shoes of a boy that you just met and you know is going to be your best friend. The color of your house. The color of the hair of the most annoying girl you ever met. The color of the strange marks on the body on that nice and quiet boy from your dorm. The color of tapestry on the shrieking shack in the night you discover what's going on with him. The color of the book from the best subject ever. The color of blood when you and the others try to transform for the first time. The color of the balloons that coincidentally are filling up the principal room after the first full moon the marauders spent together. The color of the first shot of firewhiskey you drink when you win the first game on quadribol. The color of your face the first time she says "no" to your invite. The color of your fist after punching the face of the douchebag for calling the most brilliante girl on the school of that horrible thing. The color of her face after the Merlin-knows-how-many invitations for a date, while she screams at you. The color of the dress that you and your pals puts on the caretaker's cat.

So... I just saw a post on the Instagram like "describe red without using the word red" (it was something like that) and the idea of writing something like that came in my mind. I'm sorry about the mistakes you'll probably find here, english is not my native language. This was also posted on my tumblr, the url is headgrl and i often reblog jily and wolfstar things and i would like if you passed there to say hi :)
Anyway, thank you for reading this!
