Chapter Ten:
So this is love, so this is what makes life divine.
Despite what one bushy-haired witch once said, Ron Weasley did not have the 'emotional range of a teaspoon'. Ron felt all the emotions on the spectrum, he just hid them.
Anger was red, the color of his hair or the color of his Hogwarts house. Scarlet with its fury when Fred or George pulled a prank on him. Crimson at the edges of his vision when at school he or one of his friends were teased.
Envy was green, the color of his best friend's eyes. His best friend whom he find himself unknowingly jealous of more times than he could count. Green the color of Slytherin which was promptly mixed with red to form a color that matched Hermione's hair when she told him of her affair.
When he felt sad his eyes were bluer, they swam in the tears they could not shed. His whole world was sapphire when Hermione was gone.
When Astoria entered his life, he felt as though he were discovering new colors, seeing the world in a different light. Ginny told him that he had been lonely, that he was in the honeymoon stage of his new relationship and things would settle, the world would dull down again.
It didn't.
Ron didn't know when he fell in love with Astoria Greengrass, just that he did. The Gods are cruel, he thought. Or have a funny sense of justice. To have him, Ron Weasley, fall in love with the woman who was once married to Draco Malfoy, the Gods had to be having a laugh somewhere.
When Ron was with Astoria, gold tinted everything. Not yellow, yellow had been the color he had seen on his and Hermione's good days. Yellow had been the color of their house, the color of their living room, and the color of their bedsheets. Yellow was the color he no longer could see.
Gold, that's what he saw. Gold like Astoria's mother's hair, gold like her favorite pair of earrings.
Gold like the band of the engagement ring he had just bought.
This is a short update, just a little thing. I just wanted you guys to know that I'm still here, I'm still going to finish this. I've been super busy with my new job plus I had to get my laptop fixed. ANYWAY... Here this is. Hopefully, I'll be able to update again soon and it will be longer. Cheers. :)
