That Monday morning I woke up, had a long hot shower, brushed my teeth and put on my robes. I looked in the mirror and smiled and ran down the stairs eagerly. I was happy to see that it was only Hermoine in the common room, sitting opposite the blazing fire and reading a book.

"Mione!" I shouted maybe a bit too loudly.

"Godrick y/nn I nearly had a heart attack! Why are you yelling at.." she spun her wrist and checked her watch "8:00 in the morning!"

"Is that the time! Well we better get going before the boys join us down in the hall" I giggled knowing exactly what was about to happen.

I grabbed Hermione by her hand and ran towards the great hall ready for breakfast, she didn't complain of course she loved to be early to everything. Says that 'Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable' which I chose to ignore every time she said it.

As we sat down on our normal table I was shaking with nervousness and excitement which Hermoine caught on to.

"Y/nn why are you shaking so much, is it from waking up so early, oh god have you got a fever you're shaking so much" she said motherly.

"No, no 'mione i'm just excited about a certain plan" I squealed.

As I said this I saw the great hall doors open and a raven haired boy enter with his friend by his side looking uncomfortable. As they walked closer to the table I noticed the large grin on Harry's face and Ron wearing a beanie. It was successful.

As they sat down I moved a little so Harry could sit next to me in hopes he would offer protection from Ron as I knew I was bound to be told off.

"Morning guys" I laughed quickly composing myself, hoping that Ron wouldn't notice. I popped a grape in my mouth whilst trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Bloody brilliant, you've outdone yourself this time y/n" Harry laughed. Ron looked unimpressed but was more focused on his breakfast than anything which settled your nerves.

As Harry said that Snape walked past and looked at Ron.

"Ronald Weasley, do you think clothing rules apply to everyone but you?" he spat.

As he said that he lifted up the beanie and revealed bright green hair. At this Ron looked up and realised everyone was looking at him.

I couldn't help it, I started laughing uncontrollably as did Harry and faint laughter was heard about the hall. Me and Harry were laughing so hard we started crying and Hermione began to join in, trying to hide behind her book.

"Ah I see, well if it wasn't for the rules I would let you keep the beanie on, seems you need it" he smirked walking off.

"Y/n l/n I am going to kill you!" he screamed, I made eye contact with him and me and Harry went quiet.

"You'll have to get me first" I got up and began sprinting for the doors high fiving the twins. As I got out the hall I ran as fast as I could to Hagrid's hut hoping that Ron hadn't noticed.

When I got to his hut I banged on the door and saw Hagrid stir about inside.

He opened the door "Ah y/n hello, is there a reason your here, is everyone okay?" he questioned.

"Hello Hagrid, yes i'm absolutely fine just trying to hide from someone that's all." I panted still trying to recover from the long run from the castle.

"Are you running from a green haired person, who is that? Is that Tonks? Godrick, I haven't seen her in ages!" he said whilst pointing behind me.

I sighed and turned on my heel hoping not to be greeted with the green haired boy. But, was unlucky. I saw him running down the hill, his robes moving in the wind.

"Oh Hagrid I must go, he's going to get me. We'll come and see you soon promise" I said and dashed off towards the Black Lake.

As I got to the lake I sat down at the oak tree and accepted my fate as I either got caught or I ran into the forbidden forest, which I decided was the worse option.

Whilst catching my breath I heard a sound and turned my head to be met with Ron's eyes and a big smile, which caught me off guard. I turned my head back around and giggled as he slumped back down next to me.

"Good day Weasley, it's lovely to see you" I laughed.

"Don't think you're going to get away with it that easily" he said as he tumbled me to the floor hovering over me.

"Ron! What're you doing" I squirmed trying to get out of his grip.

"See it's a funny story really, this morning when I got up I woke up with an even uglier hair colour and decided using the process of elimination a certain girl must have done this and this certain girl must be you" he smirked.

"Well I don't know what you're talking about your hair hasn't changed one little bit. Still as dashing as I remember" I protested still moving about.

"Ah is that so? Because to me it looks bright green and the rest of the students in this whole bloody school seem to think so too" he said with a slight anger to his words, which I knew was only in a joking manner as he has had this prank pulled on him many times before. Way too many to count.

"Well you got me! But this wouldn't have happened if you didn't give me an enemy!"

He scowled and let go on me resting himself back on the tree. I sat up too and dusted myself off leaning on the tree looking at the lake in front of us. We sat there for a while before I broke the comfortable silence.

"I don't think your hair colour is ugly" I blurted out.

He looked at me and smiled his cheeks blushing.

"Oh y/nn don't lie it's horrendous!" he complained whilst pointing to his hair.

"Well Ronald orange happens to be my favourite colour" I twisted a piece of his hair between my fingertips. "Not the green though, I don't think you pull it off as well" I smiled still proud of my plan.

I let go of his hair and began to turn around when I felt a hand on my wrist.  At this I was turned back around and I was now face to face with Ron. I blushed hard, and felt his hot breath against my face.

We looked at each other for what felt like forever just examining each others faces. I loved his freckles that crowed his face and his goofy grin that he showed when he was happy. I think I really did have a thing for this boy.

I was about to speak when Ron got up on his feet and his hand left my wrist, the sudden coldness making me shiver.

"Come on love we have lessons to go to" he said not fully realising that he had given me a nickname.

I grabbed onto his hand and lifted myself up, beginning to walk up to the castle and begin lessons.

Well that was successful.
