"Damn, this armor is uncomfortable!!!" Chad whined. Noah snickered.
"Whatever possessed me to wear this as my costume?"
Noah smiled as he remembered how he tricked his dear friend Chad into wearing
the armor.

~Flashback~

Noah and Chad were having one of their deep philosophical conversations.
"I just don't think it would be right of us to be wearing the same costume," Noah said to
his blonde friend.

"Why not?" Chad asked.

"Well, because, it just wouldn't be very Gryffindor of us, now would it?" Noah said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chad asked.

Noah looked at him for a moment, and then continued on as if he said nothing. " No
we're both going to be knights, one of us should be a skillful and brave knight in shinning
armor, and the other should be more of a prince type knight. You know, the type that
takes care of minor details, business and all that stuff."

Chad looked thoughtful, and said, "Huh, they both sound cool, but I want to be the prince
type knight."

Noah said, "You'd really let me be the knight in shinning armor? How sweet of you. I
could stand in the hallways gleaming and have the girls around me say what a hot
Gryffindor I am."

Chad looked thoughtful (or as thoughtful as a blonde can look) and said, " No, it's really
you being generous, giving me the cooler more powerful one. Well, not to mention how
comfortable the prince one would be, with those fine clothes that you would wear. I
mean, that I would wear."

"Huh, yeah I guess that does sound kind of cool," Noah said.

"You know what, why don't you be the prince, and I be the cooler- I mean the other
one."

"You'd do that for me?" Noah said, while trying to hide his smirk.

"Sure what are friends for?"

~End Flashback~

"Don't look at me," Noah said to Chad, "The armor thing was your idea."

Chad said, "It was? I guess so… But it's bulky, will you help me into it?"

Noah said, "Of course."

"No I ABSOULUTLY REFUSE TO WEAR THAT!!!!!!!!!" Renee screamed at the top
of her lungs.

"Renee, I don't like it anymore than you do, but just wear the stupid dress!!!" Sharon
said, as calmly as she could.

"I'll wear the dress, but do I have to wear those prissy wings or that gaudy halo?"

"YES!" Sharon screamed as she forced the wings onto Renee's back, but no matter how
hard she tried, she couldn't get the halo to stick.

Renee's face was flushed and her eyes were bright with tears. She began whining again.
"But I don't wanna go to the ball. At least not in that halo."

"You acting like a Hufflepuff first year," Sharon said. That shut Renee up very fast.

"Does the halo bug you that much?"

Renee glared in response.

Sharon whipped out her wand, tapped the halo and said, "Treeo."

With that the halo changed from a bright mess of ribbons with a mass of wires to keep it
above her head to silver garland. Sharon promptly stuck it on Renee's head.

"There happy now?"

Renee looked at herself in the mirror and grudgingly admitted that she looked pretty
good.

Sharon then promptly attacked her with some blush and blue eye shadow that she had
conjured up from God-knows where.

Sharon smiled at her handiwork, and said, "Now you look perfect."

Renee looked indignant. Sharon just smiled and ignored her friend, as she grabbed her
tiara. She grimaced as she put it on her head. "I can't believe that I'm wearing this."

Renee cheered up considerably as she saw Sharon's disgusted look. She even began to
laugh as Sharon handed her…

"Makeup?"

"I don't have the will to put it on myself. Besides since I put makeup on you, it's only
fair that you can put the make up on me. Just try not to screw up too badly," Sharon said.

Renee said innocently (well as innocently as a Slytherin could say), "Would I ever do
something like that to you?"

"Yes."

Renee smiled for a moment before she clapped her hands and said, "Well, let's get started
shall we?"


~&~

Noah and Chad stepped out into the common room and like any noble knights
they ran into their steed…. Well sort of.

"Hey look it's Noah and Chad," said George.

Fred made an intricate bow and said, "You're highnessness,"

Noah and Chad looked at little confused. "I thought that you were going to be a
horse," Chad said.

"Well, we decided to be one horse," George said.

"Makes sense…." Noah said.

"But then we got into an argument over who was going to be the front and who
was going to be the back," Fred said.

"So then why are both of you the ba--," Chad said.

"Well, we both decided to be the horses ass," the two said together.

"Petticoat?"
"Check."
"Heels?"
"Check."

"Makeup?"
"Check."

"Head gear?"

Renee adjusted her halo. "Check."

"This is it my friend… *sigh* we are going to the ball. But if we must go, we're
going kicking and screaming, scaring the hell out of as many people as possible. Got it?"

"Check. I mean, yeah I got it." Renee made one last look in the mirror, and
adjusted her halo only to find that it wouldn't come out.

"Curses, foiled again," Renee muttered.
