"Come off it Padfoot, let me see already." Remus said, struggleing to remove the other boys hands from over his eyes.
"Not until after we get into the dorm Moony." Sirius replied.
"I feel like an utter fool, walking around with your hands over my eyes."
"You look like it too." James laughed.
"Thanks Prongs, you're always so helpful." he attempted to shake his head, but Sirius's hands kept the motion from being carried out.
"Were's Wormtail?" Remus asked.
"He best be in the room, making sure things are set." Sirius replied.
"He'll be there Padfoot." James reassured him. "Unless of course you've sent him on another fact finding mission."
Sirius shook his head. "Not tonight Prongs, this is too important."
The two boys led the third up the stairs and to the dorm room they shared. "Set there Wormtail?" James asked as they walked through the door.
"Th-there st-standing...n-not for long th-though, I think." Peter replied
"Good job." Peter beamed at James's compliment.
"Can I see now?" Remus asked.
Sirius laughed, removing his hands from over the boys eyes. "Oh yeah, sorry there mate."
Hovering over the floor, as if hung on an invisble tailor's dummy, stood a new set of dress robes. Remus's mouth dropped open, and he looked from them to each of his friends. "You guys...They're for me?"
"No Moony." Sirius joked. "We just thought we'd drag you through the common room with your eyes covered for a good laugh."
"It was funny though." James spoke up with a grin.
Remus stood there, shaking his head back and forth slightly. "It's really, too much guys."
"Not at all mate." James replied. "The three of us all chipped in a share of the Chocolate Frog race earnings." he shrugged. "It's money we wouldn't have had without your help anyway."
"Thanks...All three of you." Remus smiled. "I don't know what I'd do without you lot for friends."
"You'd go to the ball looking shabby, and make Lorelei wonder what she had been thinking." Sirius smirked. "So what do you think of them Cinderella?"
"They're great." Remus nodded slightly. "And I'm truely greatful."
