"No

"No! No! Please, anything but that!" Hermione heard the complaints of Ron as his mother took out his older brother's battered graduation robes. Mrs. Weasley tried to reason with him.

"Now Ron, I know that these look old and battered to you, but really, we can't afford new ones right now, can we?" She scolded him reminding him about their financial problems.

"Yeah, Ron, don't worry about it, those robes aren't ugly, they have character!" Fred, Ron's older brother teased. While Percy busied himself straightening Fred's tie.

Ron rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, you don't expect me to wear those…things? Do you?" he stared at the tattered robes in disgust.

  Hermione felt somebody grab her arm and turned around. It was Ron's little sister, Ginny.

   "Come on! I think after being close friends with us for so long you'd realize by now, family crisis's happen all the time!" Ginny whined, "Plus, we've got to help Nata get her dress on, she's only four you know!" They hurried into the girls room to help Ginny's little sister.

 After a lot of fidgeting and groaning from Ron and Nata, they were ready to go. Then they heard a knock on the door. Ginny ran to answer it.

  "Harry!" she cried, sweeping him in a hug. "We were just about to leave! Come in!" Hermione and Ron appeared in the doorway.

 "Bugger off Ginny!" Ron said, still cross about having to wear his brother's old robes.

   "I'm only one year younger than you! I'm not the little on anymore Ron!" Ginny said with a displeased look upon her face.

  "Nice robes Ron." Harry commented, trying not to stifle a laugh.

 Ron rolled his eyes and slapped Harry hard on the back.

 "Yes, they're the latest fashion in Men's wear.  Straight from the dusty closet. They have a stunning scent of George's body odor." He said putting on his best impression of a fashion announcer.

 "Has Bethany arrived yet, Ron?"  Harry asked, giving Ron an odd look.

 "Nope, her parents are taking her. We're going to have to meet her at the Ceremony." Harry suddenly noticed Hermione was there.

 

"Are you meeting Seamus at the Ceremony as well?" He asked her.

"Yeah, he's says his mum takes forever to get ready, so he wouldn't have been here until five minutes after we left." Hermione said, rolling her eyes.  Harry laughed. He still remembered the time Seamus couldn't come to Hermione's birthday trip because supposedly his "mum wouldn't let him". Harry noticed something different about Hermione, but he didn't have time to figure out what it was because a three foot blur of fiery hair came zooming down the hallway.

"Harry!" Nata shrieked ramming into Ron at top speed. "Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry!"
