The next day at breakfast, Ron received a pink envelope on top of his toast.

He looked up and saw Errol, his owl, fluttering excitedly above him.

"Thanks Errol!" thanked Ron.

Except for the Daily Prophet, he rarely got any mail.

Harry peered over Ron's shoulder.

"Hey you got one too!" said Harry.

Ron glanced over at Harry.

Clutched in his hand was an identical pink envelope.

They both glanced over at Hermione, to see if she had gotten one too. But she had already gone.

Ron opened his envelope with trembling hands.

He reached inside the envelope and pulled out a small note covered in pink hearts.

It was folded in half, so he unfolded the letter and read on:

Ronald Weasley:

The Hogwarts Ball is only 3 days away.

Will you be my date for this special day?

Yours Truly,

Hermione Granger.

"OHMYGOSH!" screamed Ron.

Everybody turned to look at him.

"Erm… just a spider."

Everyone turned back to what they were doing before.

Ron turned towards Harry.

He was still clutching the pink envelope looking rather fixedly at it.

Ron looked at him quizzically.

"You gonna open that anytime soon?" He questioned.

Harry turned his head to look at Ron.

"Did you open yours?" he asked.

Ron gaped at him.

"Are you serious? Did you not just hear me scream?"

"Oh… what about the spider?"

Ron shook his head at Harry disbelievingly.

"Nevermind. Just open your envelope."

Harry hesitated, and then slowly opened the envelope.

Inside there was a note identical to Ron's except it had his name on it and was signed Ginny Weasley.

Suddenly Ron clamped his hand over Harry's mouth. There was a muffled "Are you serious?"

Ron let go. "No need to thank me."

They continued with their breakfast until Ron dropped a piece of toast that he was holding.

"Harry, I just remembered. Dress Robes!"

Harry stared. "What about them?"

"Well you don't think I really want to wear my old one do you?"

Harry laughed when he remembered the dress robe Ron had worn to the ball in their fourth year. It was big and the lacey ruffles were enough to make anyone laugh.

But he immediately stopped laughing as Ron glared at him angrily.

"What am I going to do?" he whined.

"Don't worry, I've got a plan. Do you have a quill on you? Thanks!"

Harry got out a piece of parchment from his book bag.

On it was an order form. Harry started to fill it out.

Madam Malkins Robes for all occasions

Name: Ronald Weasley

Robe Type: Dress

Address: Hoqwarts

Size: (Harry then listed Ron's sizes)

Thanks for choosing Madam Malkins!

Harry rolled up the parchment and attached it to Errol's leg. He also put some galleons in a small velvet pouch and attached it.

Errol set off to deliver this to Madam Malkins shop in Diagon Alley.

"There Happy early Birthday Ron."

Ron was speechless was for a couple of seconds before saying,

"Thanks Harry! You're the best!"
