Chapter 6: Lightsabers Disclaimer: see chapter 1

Colin Creevey asked, "Is there any particular significance attached to color?" "Yes, Colin, each color has a different meaning. I have a chart that has most colors used on it." Professor Kenobi said. She passed a chart out to each of the students. Harry looked at his: |Color |Meaning | |White |Purity | |Yellow |Joy | |Purple |Love | |Silver |New beginnings | |Green |Living Force | |Blue |Unifying Force | |Orange |Balance | |Brown |Simplicity | |Pink |Empathy | |Bronze |Energy |

Harry raised his hand. When he was acknowledged he asked "What about red? It's not on the list." Professor Kenobi looked uncomfortable and averted her eyes. She took a deep breath and answered Harry's question: Red is not on the list because it, along with black, is traditionally a Sith Lord's color choice. Red represents anger, while black stands for hate. They can be used, they usually just aren't." She glanced at her chronometer and continued, "Bring your color choices to class tomorrow. If you do not already have the gem, or yours is flawed, we will purchase a stone this weekend. Class Dismissed!" She walked away quickly while the students sat in confusion. Suddenly Millicent spoke "We should probably figure out something to do for the rest of class. Maybe everyone can choose a lightsaber color?" "Good idea, Millicent." Said Colin, "I already know which color I want: Green. I already have the gemstone so that's not a problem." Hermione suggested they all write their choices and whether they had a gem onto a piece of parchment. It took the rest of class, but they finally had a list: |Name |Blade Color |Have Focuser? | |Colin Creevy |Green |Yes | |Ron Weasley |White |No | |Lavender Brown |Purple |Not sure | |Harry Potter |Red |In Gringotts | |Draco Malfoy |Silver |No | |Hermione Granger |Green |No | |Ginny Weasley |Yellow |No | |Pansy Parkinson |Pink |No | |Lisa Turpin |Blue |Yes | |Justin |Brown |No | |Finch-Fletchley | | | |Susan Bones |Bronze |No | |Blaise Zabini |Orange |No | |Erik Desstler |Silver |Yes | |Gregory Goyle |Green |No | |Neville |Bronze |Yes | |Longbottom | | | |Terry Boot |Blue |No | |Mandy |Pink |No | |Brocklehurst | | | |Hannah Abbot |White |Yes | |Seamus Finnegan |Green |No | |Millicent |Yellow |No | |Bulstrode | | |



When Harry's choice was made known, shock reigned. "But Red's a Dark Side color, Harry!" exclaimed Ron agitatedly. Harry answered, "True, but Professor Kenobi said that red wasn't forbidden and besides, I have a ruby that belonged to my mother d that I want to use." "Good reason, Potter. Just don't get on the wrong end of a traditional Jedi. Else who would I tease about their scar?" Draco interjected. Just then, the dinner bell rang. All the students went into the Great hall to eat.
