Benjy woke up to a washed out, mint green hair color. Unfortunately, after a quick shower and some insults from the mirror, there was nothing he could do to get his natural blonde back.

Instead of fighting it (or shaving it off, as some of the other students were considering), Benjy just opted for a hooded sweatshirt and kept the hood up to cover his hair, and made his way down for breakfast. It was earlier than most of the students got up for Saturday breakfast, but there were a few students already digging into sausages or cereals. Benjy had to laugh a bit at some of the students and professors trying to cover up their rainbows of hair. A couple of poor second years looked as if, in an attempt to charm their hair, they actually singed the ends of off.

Finding a couple of open seats, Benjy sat down, began filling his plate, and amused himself watching all of the other students.

Dorcas had woken up rather earlier this morning. To her dismay she was finding it impossible to sleep in with all the noise that was going on down stairs in the Gryffindor common room. It didn't take her long to realize why. When Dorcas finally rolled out of bed and moved her body slowly towards the showers. Dorcas didn't know what shocked her first. The mirror, who was usually quite charming towards Dorcas, was throwing insults at her, specifically about her hair. Oh, the hair. A slight gasp escaped Dorcas' lips before a grin eventually creased her cheeks. Her hair, which had turned into a shade of purple that had a tinge of blue through it, looked absolutely ridiculous. Dorcas' eyes darted towards other side of the room were a fifth year shrieked, unlike Dorcas she didn't think any part of this was entertaining.

After showering and trying a few tricks with her wand in attempt to get her blond back Dorcas just shrugged and hoped the color of her hair will eventually fade. She watched in amusement as one of her dorm mates bustled around the room trying to find a hat to cover her rather bright, electric pink hair. While most of her fellow students opted for wearing hats or hooded jackets, Dorcas wore her blueberry hair with pride. She had let her hair fall naturally today, twisting one piece of hair back and even wore her blue cardigan to match her current hair shade. One of the girls she shared the dorm with shot her a few looks before she made her way to the common room and through the portrait hole, unlike some people, Dorcas had the ability to laugh at herself.

Entering the Great Hall, Dorcas couldn't help but chuckle. Dorcas didn't know what she found more humorous; the fact that the majority of the student body was hiding their hair in shame or the hair colors of those brave enough to leave their locks uncovered. As she lingered in the doorway she peered along the Gryffindor table to see if she could spot anybody she talked to. This task, was proving to be difficult because she didn't know what color hair everybody had woken up with. She knew from the journals that Lily was also sporting a similar shade of blue and that Kira was sporting a gray. She moved her eyes towards the Ravenclaw table to see if she could spot her friend.

Unsuccessful in finding a familiar face, she made up for it by finding a place to sit. She moved swiftly towards the middle of the Hall passing her fellow housemates that were discussing the topic on everybody's mind. Her failure of spotting Kira was however redeemed when she spotted the other Fenwick. Breezing past him she noticed he was hiding under a hooded jacket. Dorcas was starting to think that Lily had been right - The gentlemen seemed to be more insecure about the hair fiasco then the girls were. She reached the spot where she intended on eating breakfast, took a seat and poured herself some Pumpkin juice whilst she packed her plate with some food. She glanced up towards the entrance of the hall quickly to see if anybody familiar had wandered in. Dorcas was getting a little impatient and was desperately seeking a friend she could laugh with.

Remus woke early that morning with his stomach rumbling loudly. He wasn't really fully awake after he finished dressing, snatched his book of the bed side table and made his way out of the dormitory and down to the common room. Food, it was the one thing on his mind. The common room was much noisier than usual, but he didn't see anything different. Well, there were a few students with different colored hair, but it hardly registered.

Making his way down the corridors, he started to get a feeling that something wasn't quite right. There were too many people wearing hats or covering their heads with hooded sweatshirts. He paused for a moment, and set off at a near run, his heart thudding in his chest. It didn't even cross his mind to actually mind a mirror.

The Great Hall was humming with students who were all talking excitedly about the different colored hair their mates were sporting. Remus's mind wasn't fully awake when he looked around, seeing Benjy sitting near him and covering his hair with his hoodie.

"Any idea what's going on there, Benjy?" he asked a bit stupidly. The idea hadn't even occurred to Remus that his hair had probably changed too and he was completely oblivious he was sporting lavender locks.
