The house that was cordoned off was identical to its neighbor, except for color. The murder house, which is what the reporters were dubbing it, was grey with white shutters. The windows, however, were coated with blood as if something inside exploded and coated every surface red. But the windows stayed intact?Severus mused, and assumed that there had been impervious charms put on the home to keep outsiders from coming in which inadvertently strengthened the windows from breaking. The neighboring house that had been blue with white shutters. Neither shutters actually worked; they were just for show. Modern architecture is odd like that, adding touches to make a place look more opulent than it really is. It makes me nostalgic for Victorian architecture. It might have been gaudy, but at least everything was actually functional.
