Problem 4! As mooooomo said I'll tell you how old Lily is in my authors note so it's clear for her at least. Lily is 15 and Rose is 17 for this chapter.

Disclaimer-Not J.K., but very excited to find out about Pottermore!


"Lily! Are you ready yet? The date is in 5 minutes." Rose called from the common room. It was Hogsmeade weekend, and we were going on double date with our boyfriends. I was dating Lorcan Scamander and she was dating Frank Longbottom. I was really excited and completely ready in a cute outfit; the only problem was my hair.

I looked into my mirror and saw the fiery red mass was sticking up in all directions. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to stay flat.

"Rosie! I think I need some help my hair isn't cooperating." I called back to her. In seconds my dear cousin came into my dormitory, and was ready to help.

When she saw my hair she began to laugh.

"What?" I questioned.

"Lily, it isn't that bad. At least you don't have a puffball for hair like me." She said while pointing to her rather bushy red curls.

"Yes, but at least your hair is puffy all together. Mine sticks up at all angles as if I just woke up and didn't brush my hair. It isn't fair. My hair may look like my mum's, but it acts like my dad's." I stated sadly. There was no way my hair would look presentable by our date.

"Yeah our parents didn't really manage to pass the best genes onto us. You've got Aunt Ginny's hair color with Uncle Harry's messiness. I've got Dad's hair color with Mum's bushiness." Rose replied. She was looking down at the floor with a sad expression when suddenly her head snapped upwards and she did a small jump. It actually kind of scared me. Rose got this big smile on her face like she had an idea, and that scared me even more.

"Wait Lily! I just remembered this spell that my Mum made up for her especially crazy bad hair days. It's really easy, I'll just do it on your hair and it'll look fine." Rose explained happily.

"Okay, sounds like a great idea." I told her. Rose pulled out her wand and did very swishy hand movements while saying, "Hairus Fixateum!" I felt my hair sort of tingling and moving.

When Rose stopped my hair fell flat. I reached up and felt how completely smooth it was. None of it was sticking up. I smiled happily at her. She looked back at me in horror.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked. That scared feeling came back. She grabbed the mirror I had been holding and held it up to me. I looked in shocked to find my hair turned pink.

"Rose what did you do?" I yelled.

"I-I don't know. This has never happened before." She answered, "Maybe it's because it's for people with bushy hair, and yours is only unruly."

"Maybe. What am I supposed to do? Our date is…" I looked over at a clock on the wall. "Now. Our date is right now Rose! I'll have to go with my hair like this I guess." I sighed. What more could I do? Hopefully Lorcan wouldn't mind.

"Yeah you'll just have to go pink. I've seen pictures of Teddy's mum, and she wore her hair pink a lot, all though she was a metamorphmagus…" Rose said; obviously trying to help, but to horribly at it.

"Is that supposed to be reassuring, or something?" I asked while smiling at my cousin's lack of words because if you knew her, you would know that she is never at a loss for words.

"I mean, I don't think Lorcan will mind that much anyways. His mum wears some rather strange things." Rose said more confidently.

"Yes she does. Aunty Luna's nice at least though. You're right. We should go." With that we headed out of my dormitory into the common, room went out of the portrait hole, down to the entrance hall, out of Hogwarts and off to Hogsmeade where we were meeting the boys at The Three Broomsticks.

When we got there plenty of people were staring at me. Obviously they were wondering what I had done to my hair. When we came to Lorcan and Frank, all Lorcan did was smile and give me a hug. He didn't seem at all concerned about my hair.

We all sat down and I could see Frank eyeing my hair questionably.

"In case you guys are wondering, Rosie here accidentally turned my hair pink I know it looks weird but-"

"I think it looks great." Lorcan said. "Your hair looks great no matter what." I smiled and looked to Rose who smiled back with an 'I told you so' sort of smile.

"What's your hair doing now?" Frank asked suddenly. I grabbed a piece of my hair and saw it change from pink back to its normal red. I reached up and felt it sticking up strangely as it had before.

"Do you even think my hair looks great like this?" I asked Lorcan.

"Of course. In fact, it looks perfect. It's natural, which is great and very fierce looking." He stated. I looked to Rose who was giving me the same smile as before. Madam Rosmerta came to take our orders, and we spent the rest of the afternoon happily on our almost normal date.


So that is that. Miss Smarty Pants Rosie accidentally gives her cousin pink hair! At least Lily's boyfriend is nice and doesn't care about what her hair is like. Also I chose their boyfriends because I figured since they always get guys who just pretend to like them they would go for guys who are family friends. Also neither Rose or Lily are dating Scorpius because I do not ship Rose/Scorpius or Lily/Scorpius. R&R if you liked this, or if you hate me for not putting Rose or Lily with Scorpius. Whatever tickles your fancy I guess. ;)
