jealous that they didn't do it themselves. Ravenclaws are all dark blue, meaning that they're
amused, and Hufflepuffs and most of the Gryffindors seem to be stuck between anxious,
annoyed, and happy."
"And us?" Sirius pointed to his head of light blue hair.
"Oh, that particular shade of blue is my favourite." Mia beamed. "It means
satisfied."
Lily blushed bright red, stifling a snort by burying her face in her hands.
"Satisfied?" James blinked nervously, swallowing as he looked at Lily.
"Yes. Tell me, big brother―" Mia leant across the table, lacing her fingers together
and leaning her chin on them as she stared at James, a wicked gleam in her eye, "—in the
half hour that you've been awake, what on earth could you have done to make yourself so
amazingly satisfied?"
Remus's eyes widened, and he turned and covered his mouth, hiding his laughter
with a loud cough. The rest of the Gryffindor table was not nearly as subtle with their
guffawing and giggles.
James's face immediately turned bright red, and his eyes lingered on Lily before
averting his attention elsewhere.
Sirius caught on quickly, but—rarely ashamed of anything—he shrugged his
shoulders and looked at James. "Well I don't know what you're so satisfied about, but I
woke up and had a wank in the shower."
The table broke out into a roar of laughter, and James slowly covered his face with
his hands and waited patiently for the laughter to die down. In that time, his hair shifted
from bright blue to a bright red to match his face before turning a slightly darker shade of
teal, indicating acceptance.
He eventually smiled over at his sister, shaking his head.
"Well?" she asked.
James stood, bowing dramatically before her. "You win."
"And Remus?" Her eyes narrowed as James's hair shifted to a brighter green
indicating anxiety, while Sirius's turned dark green. Mia ignored both shifting shades.
James laughed and reached across the table, extending a hand to his werewolf friend.
"Remus, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, mate."
Remus blinked at the gesture and then smiled, taking his hand.
