Knights in Shining Armour

- in which we learn that chivalry is not dead -

-

"I challenge you to a duel! Draw your sword!" The suit of armour, if it could have, would definitely have glared at Ron.

Who was definitely feeling quite confused over this challenge. "What? Why? What have I done? And I don't even have sword!"

"I challenge you for the hand of the fair Lady Pansy, who you are quite unworthy of." It turned to Pansy, bowing and taking her hand to kiss it - if it would have been able to do so, that was. It then turned back to Ron drawing the sword at its side and pointing it at Ron. "Your sword, young man?"

"I told you, I don't have one." Ron drew his wand instead, and pointed it at his challenger. "Petrificus Totalus."

The suit fell to the floor with a clang.

Pansy stared down at it. "I kind of liked it. Very polite."

Ron gave her a look. "A knight in shining armour come for you, huh? Except, the armour isn't very shiny." He paused, thoughtful. "And there probably isn't really a knight inside, either. At least not a visible one," he then added.

Pansy shrugged. "Oh well. You'll have to do then."

"Your love life is really strange when you go to Hogwarts," Ron decided as they walked off.
