Ron stared at the box in George's hands. The twins had come over for Sunday dinner as usual. This time, however, they'd brought something for him.
"What is it?" he asked narrowing his eyes at the twins.
"It's not a prank, we promise," Fred stated rolling his eyes. "Do you really think we'd do anything that obvious?"
"Yes." Fred and George looked at each other.
"Well, yes -"
"We might, but this isn't -"
"One of those times. This is a promise we made to our backer. Go ahead, Ron." Ron gingerly took the box and opened it. He pulled back as if waiting for it to explode in his face, or turn him into some kind of creature. When nothing happened, he looked down at the box. Inside was a large amount of fabric. He picked it up and shook it out revealing it was a set of dress robes.
"Robes?"
"Dress robes, little Brother. These don't have frilly lace cuffs."
"Or any lace at all," Fred added as Ron held up the robes. They were good quality and the fabric was nice; not quite a velvet, but definitely a luxury fabric.
"What's the catch?" he asked after a moment.
"Simple, our backer -"
"Who will remain -"
"Anonymous wanted us to-"
"Buy you a pair-"
"Of nice dress robes. We thought navy would be a-"
"Good color on you." Ron nodded sliding the robes on and looking at himself in the mirror. The twins were right about the color. It didn't wash out his pale skin or make his red hair look bad. He had to admit, he almost found his reflection handsome.
"So no catch?"
"None, just don't tell-"
"Mum once you find-"
"Out who gave us the funds."
"Promise," Ron stated still marveling at the fact that for once he had something new, something that was his and only his. He wondered briefly if Hermione liked navy blue.
