What colours mean,

Red
Albus always has this funny look on his face when Gellert's around. Mama and Daddy had those looks, before they went away. They never came back, and Abe won't tell me what happened to them. It's just me, Al and Abe now. Al gets this funny red smudge and ti reminds me of when I get smudges on my face from ice-cream. I love chocolate the best. Al's silly and tells me my teeth will get rotten. That only happens to old people.
The smudge is only there when Gellert's here. He talks funny too, all fast and weird, but he's really a good at speeches. He made one about dragon's blood once. It was yucky and boring, but people clapped for him anyway. Abe says I get the funny red smudge near Gellert. He always sighs and says that I'm too young for this. He never tells me what 'this' means.
Even Abe got the smudge one day and it was really bright. It looked like Al's hair, even though Al says his hair is auburn, not red. This girl rang the doorbell. It was so funny. She had a big lumpy chest. It was really weird. Al stared at it too. He ran out the door with her after that. When he came back, the smudge was all over his face. He kept touching his mouth a lot. I wonder what happened to him.
Gellert never gets the smudge around Albus. He never gets the funny look either. Al seems sad because he doesn't get it. Al looks sad, because Gellert never smiles either. All those books look really boring. I think that's what stops Gellert smiling. I'm glad Al never makes me read.
Sometimes he stops looking at the books. He talks to Abe and asks lots of funny questions with big words that I don't' understand. Once he used the word 'rape' and I didn't know what it meant. I asked Abe, he said it was only a word for big people to know. I'm a big girl, even if I don't eat my vegetables like Al says to. They taste yucky.
Al writes Gellert's name a lot. I found a piece of parchment covered in it. It's red, and he draws pictures of hearts. Al hid it from me when I saw it, so it must be a secret. Secrets are stupid, they're all grown up and boring.
I told Gellert that Abe hates him once. He went red, but not the sort of red that Al goes. It was scary, he picked up his wand and I thought he was going to hurt Abe. But he just marched off looking all mad and grumpy.
I wonder why Gellert and Al and Abe and I are always red.
