"Congratulations Teddy!" I sprinted down the hall and jumped on Teddy.
"Thanks! On what, exactly?" He asked, laughing softly.
"On making Chaser of course!" I said, getting off of him, "I heard the news a few minutes ago."
Teddy started grinning, "Oh yeah. It's pretty exciting."
"Let's take a walk and you can tell me all about it." I looped my arm through his and steer him out of the school.
"So it was me, Ariana Thomas, May Finnigan, and John Creevey trying out for Chaser from Gryffindor, but a bunch of people were trying out from different houses, which I didn't really get, considering they come from different houses." Teddy started explaining.
"So, did those people make the team?" I asked.
"No." He said stopping, looking at the lake then back to me. All of a sudden, he bent down and picked me up piggy back. I laughed.
"So who made it?" I asked grabbing his changing hair and steering him over to the lake. Wait a second. Changing hair.
"All the Gryffindors except Finnigan. I felt bad for her, she's currently sulking in her dorm. But it was either her or Creevey, because Ariana and I both got a perfect score for the goals we made, and Creevey is a much better choice because he follows orders more willingly. And then—"
I cut him off, "Teddy, I'm sorry, but I was not listening."
"Then what were you doing this whole time?"
"Your hair is changing." I answered, watching his hair change slowly.
"Huh?" He asked, confused.
"Your hair. The color of your hair is changing."
He set me down and ran down to the lake to check his appearance in the lake. His hair was literally bright orange.
"When did it start?" He asked as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"When you were talking about Quidditch." I said.
"Oh. I guess I got excited." He said slowly, as if he was trying to understand what was happening. Fortunately, I got it much quicker.
"Oh! I have to go real quick." I sprinted up to the castle to get my Color Feelings Journal, "Congrats on becoming Chaser!" I yell.
And with that I left a very confused Teddy behind. But there are much more important things to think about. Like the realization that has just dawned on me.
Orange means that he feels enthusiastic.
