When I finally ran in the dungeon to potions, I was nearly late.

"Albus Severus Potter!" Ugh, teachers.

"Yes Professor?"

"You're very nearly late."

"Sorry Professor." I looked to see where I could sit, and I spotted Julianna. She saved me a spot. Next to HER. Breathe Albus, Breathe. I walked to the table; she had sat in the back. "Is this seat taken?" I almost sounded calm.

"I was saving it for you, Al!" She looked right in my eyes. I turned away and said,

"Oh," I sat down and I swear she scooted closer to me. Just pretend you're talking to Scorp, talking to Scorp.

"How have you been doing in Quidditch?" her hair rapidly changed to yellow. Yellow means happy, happy is good.

"Being a seeker is harder than it looks." I smiled and looked right past her. Looking at the wall might be boring, but whatever works.

"Don't you remember Al? I'm a seeker too!" Did she just scoot closer?

"Oh yea, how is it playing Quidditch with my brother as Captain?" I haven't stuttered yet. I was just having a nice normal conversation.

"He's a little controlling. Have you noticed?" I looked right into her eyes, those swirling pools of beautiful. All I could choke out was.

"Y-yea..."

"Students? Please turn to page 89 and brew the Acid Erosion potion."

"Albus?" Oh crap! I got lost in her eyes. I'm such an idiot.

"Sorry, let's start." It looked like she wanted to say something else but if she asked me another question I'd look like complete and total loser.

"It says to pour in Acromantula Venom," And reached for the venom. So did she. Our hands grazed each other and we both pulled away. Julianna's hair turned pink with deep red ends. Pink is, is…. embarrassed. But what's red mean? She had told me what every other color meant. But she never told me what red meant! Her hair turned red a lot around me... My face was burning. She grabbed the venom and poured it in.

"Now we put in…" Her, now brown, hair fell perfectly into her face.

"5 Doxy Eggs, I'll get them," Tripping over my feet, I made it to the supply closet. Why did Julianna have to be so pretty? It just makes it harder for me to talk to her? And why did she have to be a Gryffindor? Everyone knows Slytherins and Gryffindors don't mix! What was I getting? Dittany? Dragon Blood? Doxy Eggs! I grabbed 5 Doxy Eggs and tried to look cool as I walked back to my table.

"Got them!"

"And the last ingredient…" She had put in at least 5 other ingredients while I was gone. "Acid…"I reached for the bottle.

"Al?"

"Yea Jewels?" I froze. She scooted even closer, I was sure of it. She grabbed my hand, and I looked right into her eyes, bad idea. I spilled the acid all across the table, right as the teacher said,

"Students, you may leave." I couldn't look at Jewels.

"Reparo," I had fixed everything with a flick of my wrist. Right before I sprinted out the door, I caught a glimpse of Jewels' hair. Blue=Sad, Green=Irritated, Red= the unknown emotion.

XxXxxXxX

"Wow you really messed up Al!"

"Shut up Scorp!" Scorp had burst out in laughter once I finished the story.

"You know what emotion red is right Al?"

"N-no what does it m-mean?"

"What's the only emotion that doesn't have a color, Al?" So red means...

"Love…"
