"How do I look?" Hermione asked Ron, coming down the stairs of Grimmauld place. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were there getting ready to go to the ministry to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Voldemort's fall. Hermione was dressed in a gown, the most hideous shade of puke green and it seemed that Sleekeasy decided it was not going to work for her this time since her hair was even frizzier than normal. She did not look happy.

"Oh, no," Ron said to Hermione. "I am not falling into that trap. I am not that stupid. If I say that it doesn't look good, you will yell at me. If I say that it does you will ask me if my head needs to be examined. Nope I am not going there!"

Hermione sniffed. "Well you didn't have to, Ronald Weasley. You made your opinion quite clear that you think it is hideous based upon your non-answer. It is hardly my fault that shopping for beautiful dresses that actually fit is a nearly impossible task for women. How long did it take you to find dress robes? Five minutes?" she sniffed again and stormed back up the stairs.

"What just happened?" Ron asked Harry. Harry just shrugged his shoulders, unsure what to answer. He was as lost as Ron was.

After about 15 minutes this time Ginny came down the stairs. "How do I look?" she asked Harry, batting her eyelashes at him. She was in this horrible pink tie-dye monstrosity that clashed horribly with her hair. Was that hem even straight at the bottom?

"Uh, you look great," Harry croaked wondering if he was about to be yelled at like Ron was.

Ginny just snorted. "Hermione owes me a galleon. She said men were too useless to be trained. I disagreed. Thanks for proving me right Harry! Now let me go get this transfigured back to my real dress." She skipped back up the stairs, laughing.

"What just happened?" Harry asked Ron.

"I have no idea," Ron answered. Blinking in the direction of the stairs. "Women," he said, as if that said it all. To Harry it did so he just nodded in agreement.

"We heard that," Ginny and Hermione yelled from up the stairs. Ron shuddered in fear about what they were going to do to him.
