"Do you know what the strongest thing in the world is?" Ron suddenly blurted out, everyone turning to look at him.

Hermione shrugged, "It's a diamond. They are so strong you can cut all kinds of things with them." She wondered why he was asking this.

Ginny grinned. "You're wrong 'Mione. It's a birth mother or father." This made everyone laugh.

After a moment of thought George spoke. "A pen, it can bring people together, destroy governments, heal hearts, tell a story. So many things can be done with a pen." This had them all nodding in agreement. Rita Skeeter was a perfect example; she'd ruined lives but also helped to heal the wizarding world.

"What about a wand? Look at everything that can be done with a wand. That's the strongest thing in the world." Harry's voice was soft, but strong. Again everyone agreed that he had a point.

"Water!" Everybody looked at Fred like he'd lost his mind. "What?" he asked defensively. "Think about it. Yes water can bend around stuff or flow over it, but in time even stone is worn away by water. Like the Grand Canyon in the States." He grinned; most didn't think he and George were much for deep thinking, preferring their pranks. But really they were both deep guys, Fred more so than George, but that didn't matter.

Grinning like a loon Ron said, "You are all wrong. The strongest thing in the world is a woman's bra." Seeing the confused looks on the others faces he went on. "A bra holds two milk factories and a play ground!"

Everyone blinked at him, before Hermione burst into hysterical laughter, Harry snickered, and Fred and George looked at each other before bursting into laughter themselves. Ginny on the other hand flushed an angry red and before Harry (the only one to notice) could stop her or Ron duck, punched Ron square in the nose, knocking him flat on his back.

"It's not funny! It is rude and sexist! I can't believe you would say something like that Ron!" Ginny growled, glaring at everyone. "And what the hell are you laughing for Hermione? You should be as angry as me!" she snapped.

Sitting up Ron pinched his nose, trying to stem the blood free flowing from it. "It was just a joke, Ginny!" Ron mumbled.

Fred looked at Hermione while George pulled out his wand to fix Ron's nose. "Ginny's right. Why aren't you angry 'Mione? You seemed to find it funniest."

"It's so funny because it's true!" Hermione barely got the words out before she burst it to laughter again.

Chuckling George said, "Yeah, you're right. A woman nurses her child, so do the lucky birthing fathers. And for men or women who like breasts they are a play ground of sorts." Looking straight at Ginny he said, "There's no reason to get all bent out of shape."

Ginny huffed and stormed out of the room.

"She'll get over it." Harry said softly.

AN: I hope that nobody is offended by Ron's joke.

Next Time: ***** Sorry everyone but chapter 12 is a surprise.
