Chivalry is Dead

By: Hiki-chan

The next day.

Ron and Harry woke up and had a huge breakfast. They had a feeling they might not be taking lunch, especially if it was going shopping with Ginny and Hermione.

Right before they left, Ron passed something to Harry.

"Here Harry." Ron said as he handed Harry a huge piece of cloth.

"What is it for Ron?" He asked confused.

"Trust me, it will be useful." Ron looked at his best friend seriously.

"What's it for?" Harry repeated.

Ron grinned sheepishly, "When the time comes I'm sure you'll thank me for this."

Harry crooked his head, "How do I use it?"

"You would automatically use it."

And with that, and one crook of the eyebrow, Harry let the subject drop.

----------

It was around 10 O'clock when they left Hogwarts and now it was nearing 3.

Harry felt like Cinderella as he kept on trying different set of robes and outfits. Silently groaning to himself he thought, 'If this was how Cinderella felt, just give me a bunch of old robes any day!' Harry confirmed with himself.

Harry blinked at his thoughts. He was comparing himself with a muggle fairytale! Ah, the irony of it all... He got snapped back to reality when Ron elbowed him.

He and Ron were tired of trying different robes on and on. Argh! The urge to scream out loud. Maybe he could put up a silencing charm right now. Or maybe he can run out when they were not looking and hide until the day of the dance came. Harry had silently agreed that he would have rather gone shopping with Voldemort than those two…

He and Ron could both leave these two mad women alone to figure out what robes to wear right?

He heard Ron groan to him, "I don't think, I tough enough to be a women." He told Harry earnestly.

"Let's try another one shall we?" Ginny suggested as she rummaged through another stack of clothes.

Both boys exchanged identical looks before they grabbed a huge piece of cloth, scrunched it into a ball, held it to their mouths and yelled out into it at the same time.

All the girls could hear was muffling sound that sounded like "Mmmphhh!"

Hermione rolled her eyes and said as soon as both boys removed the cloth from their mouths, "Honestly you two are like two peas in a pod."

"We are best friends Hermione." Ron announced gleefully before he turned to Harry, "Told you it'll be useful. It's more handy for a use like this other than the silencing charm."

"Thanks Ron." Harry laughed as he patted Ron on the back, "You are a really understanding friend."

Ginny stared at them in disbelief for awhile before she walked away shaking her head, "Honestly, you two don't understand how wonderful shopping is." She ignored their snorts and continued around the shop before she came across a classic piece that had some of the Gryffindor colours.

Crossing the store, she passed to Harry, "Here Harry, try this one."

Harry looked helplessly at Ron before he stepped into the changing room.

Hermione clucked her tongue as she searched the store for something Ron could wear before her eyes landed on a classic nice dark blue set of robes.

She handed it over to Ron and pushed him into changing room, "And don't come out until you have put everything on." She demanded.

Harry immerged first. Ginny squealed as she took a good look at Harry while Hermione nodded approvingly.

Harry raised one eyebrow before he turned to the mirror. Tight fitting slacks that were sort of fuzzy, they were in deep crimson colour. His top was like a vest and over the vest was coat that was the same material and colour as his pants and was lined with golden streaks. Overall, it fitted his Quidditch form very well.

Ron came out later and Hermione ran up to him and hugged her boyfriend, "You look fabulous Ron!"

Ron walked to the mirror, "Blimey!"

Ron had dark blue robes that fitted him marvelously.

"I totally agree with these two robes." Hermione smiled at Ron.

"These two outfits are definitely the one!" Ginny confirmed as she gave them a thumbs-up sign.

"Yes!" Ron held out both fist as he punched the air, "Nightmare over!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at her boyfriend as they walked out of the store after purchasing the outfits, "Really Ron, you are so dramatic. Besides, it's still early and so me and Ginny still have time to look for our gowns."

Both girls laughed at the look of utter repulsion on the boys faces and as both their smiles dropped immediately.

"Nooo!"

Harry almost laughed out when Ron was on his knees, begging to go back. Glancing at Hermione and Ginny, Harry suddenly felt horrified for himself. He slumped onto the floor and refused to stand.

"Really now," Hermione scolded as she dragged Ron with her while Ginny tugged on Harry's arm and tried to drag him, "Is this how we get appreciated?"

Ron grumbled, "I rather study with Professor Snape than go through with this."

"Agreed." Harry seconded.

"And what do we have here?"

All four of them turned to face Draco and Blaise.

Harry bit his bottom lip and stared at the ground, 'Oh no! Why now… please not now. Don't have the strength to look at him…'

"What's going on?" Blaise laughed, "Potter, Weasley, you look almost dead."

"These two do not appreciate the help given to them." Ginny frowned as she tugged harder on Harry's sleeve.

They all decided to be nice to each other since they were on the same side and all. Especially since Draco was Harry's date and Seamus was Blaise's.

For once Ron ignored Draco and Blaise, "Come on Hermione, Ginny, you girls can go shopping another time. Me and Harry," He glanced at Blaise, "we are dying!"

Harry just sat on the floor waiting impatiently for it to swallow him up.

Draco look intently at Harry before he said, "What were you all doing?"

"We were shopping for their outfits for the dance." Hermione explained, "Honestly, these two have no patience what so ever."

In response to that, Harry and Ron just groaned. Harry finally got out of his daze and hope of the floor swallowing him up and leaned against the wall, slumped and look up to both girls, "Come on you two. We were in this shop for over," He counted, "1, 2, 3… 4 hours! And probably longer."

"Yeah," Ron agreed, "Give us a break. We've tried on so many outfits. My whole body is sore!"

Draco smirked, Harry really did seem dead, "Well it is for your own good. I wouldn't have trusted your taste." Draco smirk just widened as he saw Harry blush. 'He obviously hasn't forgotten about what happened in the library.'

"Yes! See Harry! Malfoy agrees with us." Ginny said excitedly.

Ron (who was already on the floor) crawled over weakly to Harry and said, "Merlin give us strength."

Blaise and Draco chuckled.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny!" An Irish accent called out.

Seamus ran over to them not noticing Blaise or Draco, "Man, you two look terrible. Shopping with them that bad eh."

"Around 5 bloody hours in that store Seamus! I don't know any male who can stand it." Ron exclaimed.

Seamus laughed, "Whoa, I know I won't be able to. But you see," Seamus still didn't notice Blaise and Draco, "I need to get an outfit too. But I don't know what to get so I was thinking since you both were here maybe you could help me pick out someth--"

"I'll help." Blaise offered smiling evilly.

"Some… some…" Seamus seemed stumped, "Blai--Zabini, since when were you here...?" Seamus sounded like he was asking himself.

"I'll help." Blaise repeated, "After all, you are my date." He ended as his eyes narrowed and his smile widened.

Seamus stared, "Eh…" Taking a glance at Harry who nodded he said, "Right, I suppose... Harry, Ron, you two are coming right?"

Ron and Harry nodded at once. Before they both stood up and pushed Seamus towards the store.

"Whoa… slow down…" Seamus laughed as he was pushed into the store. Behind them Blaise and Draco walked slowly.

"Away, away from those mad women!" Ron cried out.

The girls just stood there before they could vaguely hear Ron exclaiming, "Seamus our lifesaver!"

Ginny turned to Hermione when the boys were out of their sight, "You know, wejust gotditched."

To be continued.

When I actually go shopping with my mom and sis, i usually pretty much go insane cause i hate shopping XD weird for a girl but oh well...

Aaah, i need to ask you all people for some help. I'm writing this new fic, (though i may not continue on with it) but i'm not sure what pairings to use. It's going to be a Slytherin/Gryffindor thing. HPDM and RWHG is a... hundred percent MUST HAVE. But i'm not sure about the rest. Ideas?
