I'm No Different. ( ChaeYu / ChaeTzu )

Tzuyu was irritated.

Over the past month, in fact, ever since the first Quidditch Match, Chaeyoung has been acting strange. Her once excited attitude and behavior transformed into a strained happiness. What she means by that is, she's happy but something is holding the happiness back from reaching her eyes. She doesn't push it or ask too many questions because she's never been one to do so. She understands that even Chaeyoung likes quiet and privacy, when they hang out on weekends nowadays, the majority of the time is spent in silence listening to music. Along with listening to music, Chaeyoung draws while Tzuyu studies. It was one such weekend in a strangely cold November, right before the week of a big Transfiguration exam. They had to do a written test on properties of transforming something that was alive and transformed into an inanimate object back to it's original form without knowing what it actually was. Of course, they were given hints but it's still incredibly difficult. Tzuyu knows all of this and she knows Chaeyoung knows how to perform spells but she's never been too good at written Transfiguration exams. 

"You know, Chaengie, you should probably study for Transfiguration," Tzuyu says after about an hour of silence from the shorter girl. 

"I...I am...I just don't want to do it now," She sighs, "Plus, for some reason...I can't find my transfiguration book."

"You lost it? Or did someone take it?" Tzuyu asks immediately looking up and over to the shorter girl.

"No! Um, I probably just misplaced it," Chaeyoung says with a small smile as she makes eye contact with Tzuyu. "It's alright, I'll find it later."

"Alright...but uh, if you need help finding it," Tzuyu says, toning back her aggressiveness, "Don't be afraid to ask, okay?"

"Of course, Tzuyu-ya," Chaeyoung smiles but then shivers as a gust of cold wind blows through the slightly ajar window. "I'm so cold..."

"Yah, you should have put on a jacket," Tzuyu says and she takes off her own to give to Chaeyoung. 

"Eh? No, it's okay, aren't you cold?" Chaeyoung asks and Tzuyu shakes her head.

"I'm kind of like, one with the cold," Tzuyu shrugs and gestures for Chaeyoung to take the jacket, "I know you guys don't point it out but I'm aware that my hands are cold all the time."

"Well, I like your cold hands," Chaeyoung says, giving in and finally taking Tzuyu's jacket. "This is going to look like a dress on me, isn't it?"

"Maybe," Tzuyu chuckles as she watches Chaeyoung put it on, "You look cute."

"Well, it would be a shame if I didn't," Chaeyoung laughs but blushes at the compliment. "You know, Ravenclaw House colors look good on you. The indigo-purple with the white or silver...it makes you look both cool and pretty at the same time."

"Really? I always believed I looked kind of...stern? Or...scary? When I wear dark colors," Tzuyu says as she looks down at her Ravenclaw sweater, "Even just having my hair this dark makes me look slightly...intimidating. Yes, intimidating, that's the word."

"Well, I think you look cool...I'm guessing you've never dyed your hair any other color except brown before?" Chaeyoung asks as she reaches over to touch Tzuyu's brown hair. 

"Nope, and my Aunt and Uncle only want me to dye my hair brown so I can look like mom," Tzuyu says, "She dyed her hair brown."

"Ah...well...what if we dyed your hair a greenish blue?" Chaeyoung asks and Tzuyu cocks her head at the younger girl.

"Well, I'm not against trying something new but how would you get the dye and wear would you dye my hair?" Tzuyu asks, "In the bathroom?"

"Yeah, let's go to that bathroom no one really goes to...where that ghost is," Chaeyoung says, "They say she's alright, she's nosy but doesn't spread gossip or rumors...plus it's just dyeing your hair so there's nothing crazy about that. It's not like we're making a potion...but anyways, I can just send a letter to my parents to buy dye and send it over. They probably will be reluctant but considering the fact that they know we're good friends, they'll probably send it."
