Indigo. She was drowning in a deep indigo.

"Are you okay?" She nodded unable to trust her mouth to form words that he would understand. There was no understanding how his eyes pulled her in, how his eyes seemed to see deeply into her soul. Indigo, a color so different, so wild, that she was lost. She had never planned on getting lost on her first day at Hogwarts, but here she was, lost and drowning.

"I'm Ron Weasley, you are?" he asked.

"Lavender," she whispered. "I'm Lavender Brown."

"Nice name, isn't that kind of stinky flower?" Lavender sighed. She hated her name, at least Ron seemed to have a normal name, the kind of name that a girl could remember.

"It is," she sighed leaning on the table next to Ron. Her eyes refusing to leave his.

"Could you pass the chicken, also, your elbow is in the mashed potatoes."

"Oh, right," Lavender said picking her elbow up off the table and blushing. She handed Ron the chicken and watched as he took a large bite, talking with his mouth open. She turned her head. How could someone with such eyes have such horrid manners?

Well, that's one thing I'll need to work on, she thought. She wondered how long it would take for Ron to notice her. Would he notice her? Would they become friends? She couldn't stop thinking about his eyes, his indigo eyes.

She dreamed of those eyes that night, that her and Ron were in large ocean with indigo water, the moon reflecting above them. The water shimmered around them. Lavender had heard of soulmate dreams, knew that one would meet their soulmate in a shared dream. She was smiling when she woke the next morning.

Ron ignored her at breakfast. She didn't understand. How could he after that dream? Had she and him not been sharing it? Had he not recognized her? She didn't focus very much on her classes, only getting annoyed when that bossy girl started talking to Ron, showing him the 'correct' way to doing something. A shot of jealously stabbed her heart.

"Bossy know it all," she commented not caring if she hurt the girl or not. She later heard the girl, Hermione apparently, had nearly been killed by a troll in the loo. Ron had helped save her.

"So brave," she whispered watching him and his friend, Harry. Harry had nice eyes too, emerald, but they were nothing compared to the indigo of Ron's.

The dreams continued, an indigo ocean, a white sand beach illuminated by moonlight. This time, they walked hand in hand on the beach, the water kissing their feet. Ron's hair stood out, red in the dim light. Lavender couldn't help but feel as though she was starting to fall for him. She woke with her heart pounding the next morning. She wanted, no, she needed to make a move sooner than later.

She tried everything to get Ron's attention, to get him to notice her. The school year continued, soon it was the Christmas holidays. She bought him a jumper, but he didn't seem to like it. She'd searched so hard for one that same color as his eyes, but he never wore it. She wondered if maybe he just didn't like jumpers?

The holidays ended with her nearly crying in frustration at him not noticing her. Classes resumed and she offered to help him with his homework, only to find Hermione was already doing that. Valentine's Day, she sent him a card, with glittery pink and red hearts. Ron tossed it aside, stating it was stupid and girls were gross. Lavender felt her heart drop.

"Give him time," her mother wrote. "He's a boy, boys don't realize things, he'll grow up and you'll see." Lavender tried to take her mother's advice to heart, but it still hurt when the school year ended with Ron and Hermione being best friends. A spot she thought should have belonged to her. She turned her attention elsewhere, being best friends with Parvati, her heart still not giving up on Ron. The dreams continued and she knew, one day, he would turn those indigo eyes her way in waking life and they would finally live happily ever after.
