behold my midlife crisis

Orange is a warm color that is associated with a variety of things including: excitement, vitality, invincibility, speed, vigilance, dedication, loyalty, family, success, friendship, power, change, harvest, and warmth.

Emphasis mine above because when I think of orange, I think of how Harry Potter must have felt all those things when he entered his BFF's bedroom for the first time ever.

Harry stepped in, his head almost touching the sloping ceiling, and blinked. It was like walking into a furnace: Nearly everything in Ron's room seemed to be a violent shade of orange: the bedspread, the walls, even the ceiling.

Ahhh. TFW when you've just been dramatically rescused in a flying car, fed more in one meal than you've eaten all summer long, degnomed a garden for the first time, and you're so sleepy and full and ecstatic to finally have a family of your own, but man. So much orange. XD Apparently with good reason.

To think that Ron was ashamed of his home! He couldn't possibly imagine how very far that would be from Harry's mind, how very perfect the Burrow would be to Harry. In every way the opposite to the "home" he had just rescued Harry from. My feels.

On a side note, can we talk about the fact that 12-year-old Harry's head almost touched the ceiling? Poor Ron. How did he ever get in that room after 16?

For that matter, how did all three of them fit in it at 17? Oh my, it must have been very cramped indeed in that room as they made their plans. :D And somehow Hermione still had room for every book she owned.

Ron love forever. Burrow love forever. Chudley Cannons forever! *sigh*
