Holly is Melvin's crush. After the genie incident, Holly is aware that Melvin likes her, but there is a little too much strangeness surrounding Melvin and his friends for Holly's liking.
Red was a boy until a new genie tried to get Melvin a girlfriend. That's when the genie turned Red into a girl so Melvin could practice talking to girls, and forgot to turn her back before disappearing. Red is hopeful that her situation is only temporary.
My conjecture is, the wise men and women chosen by Solomon to protect humanity from magical threats ended ignoring their duties and abusing their gifts, much like genies did before. Witch hunter orders rose as a consequence.
History never repeats itself, but it does often rhymes.
I get the impression Holly thinks Red is a witch since she now attends Southliel (spelling?) and I bet Holly knows what goes on at that school. That may be why she doesn’t like her.
I gotta admit, I did not expect this history lesson.

Well, there are plenty of other reasons that she could have to dislike Red. (Being pretty, successful, popular, rich, etc….)
Also the fact she and Melvin seem joined at the hip.
Possibly. Although I’m not sure that Melvin’s crush on Holly is reciprocated.
… I think her main reasons are the two barely held by that piece of purple fabric.
“Their souls” first panel
Ugh, that one’s not even a justifiable miss…
Fixed.
Obviously, Holly doesn’t know the girl she’s looking at is Melvin.
Nor does she seem to know that Melvin is a witch. (She just thinks he’s weird.)
