No strings attached. A Ron Weasley love story.

Dresses,eggs,and sibling crisis.

Bean's POV.

I opened my eyes. Hermione was standing right over me. "What the heck!" I exclaimed,falling off my bed and onto the floor. "Why did you do that?" I muttered,rubbing my head. "Because I thought you wanted to go dress shopping at Madam's today." She said. I pulled my t-shirt over my head. "But it's Saturday." I complained,my voice muffled. "We don't have to go now," Hermione started. "But everyone wants to go dress shopping today. Even the Beauxbaton's girls are going." She said. I yanked my head out of the shirt. "Fine," I sighed "But let me get dressed,first." Hermione nodded and left.

I came downstairs in jeans,a white shirt that had grass stains on it,and a pair of sneakers that had probably seen better days. Hermione was waiting for me on the couch. "Where are the guys?" I asked. She snorted. "Where else? Breakfast." I blinked. "I DO get breakfast,right?" I asked hopefully. "Nope." She replied. "What?" I whined. She shook her head. "No breakfast. We're gonna get you a dress,if it takes us all day." "What about you?" I asked crankily. "I have mine already." She replied. "Well,if we need to go now,let's go." I said. She stood up,and we left for Hogsmeade.

I didn't know there were dress shops in Hogsmeade,but apperently there were. "Here we are. Madam Laveque's dresses." Hermione said. The shop didn't look like I thought it would. It looked normal,like Hermione would like. We went in though,and I could barely see. Racks of gowns were everywhere,so bright and colorful I couldn't see strainght. Lots of other girls were walking around,picking gowns off racks,and admiring them. "I didn't know you liked these things,'Mione." I said. She shrugged. "I don't. But honestly,you need to wear something without a stain on it,for once." She said. I glared at her. "Why,thank you." I muttered. She laughed as a woman walked over. "Why,hello,ladies!" She exclaimed. "I'm Madam Laveque. How may I help you?" "Uh,I need a dress." I said akwardly. "Of course! What for?" She asked. "A ball." I replied. "Ah,yes. Well,let's see. Slim figure,red hair,green eyes,freckles,hmm. Oh! I have one." The woman said,grabbing my hand and pulling me to a rack of gowns. She pulled a green one off for me. "Here,try this one." She pressed.

I took it,and she pointed me towards a dressing room. I went inside,and put the dress on. Before I went back out,I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked different. You couldn't tell my legs were so scrawny,I wasn't covered in dirt,and my hair looked longer. I went back outside,where Hermione and Madam were waiting for me. "She looks perfect! It's fantastic!" Madam squealed. "You look gorgeous,Bean." Hermione said,beaming at me. I blushed. "Go take it off,dearie." Madam said. I went back in the dressing room. The dress was green,with a silver diamond in the front. I took it off and put my clothes back on. When I came back out,Hermione put two galleons on the table. "Uh,ma'am? Could we do something about this?" I asked. If I was supposed to carry it back to Hogwarts,it would probably look like a rag,not a two galleon gown. "Of course!" Madam exclaimed as she took her wand out of her pocket and flicked it. My dress shrank to pocket size. "Wow!" I exclaimed. "Thank you,Madam." Hermione said. "Thank you,ma'am." I said. She nodded. "Have a nice day!" And we left.

Ron's POV.

Bean and Hermione entered the common room at about ten in the morning. Harry and I were talking about his egg. "Hi,guys." Hermione said. Harry and I looked up. "Hi,ladies." I said. "Hi guys," Harry said. "Where were you?" He asked. "Dress shopping." Bean replied. Harry's eyes looked stoney again.

"Why?" He asked cooly. "The ball,idiot." Bean scathed. "You're not going." Harry said. "Yeah,I am." Bean replied. "I can't let you go out with him. He's way to old!" Harry shouted. "Just because YOU don't have a date yet,dosn't mean I can't!" Bean yelled. "What is it with you two?" I burst out. "You're acting weird. Harry,you aren't her brother. Bean,stop being a moron." I said. They both glared at me,four green eyes flashing angrily. "Fine. I see both of you don't get me." Bean said darkly. "But you'll see. You're just jealous because the only girls who want to take you two to the ball,are Eloise Midgen,and that stupid Cho Chang idiot!" She shouted. She then turned around,and stomped up the stairs. Hermione looked at the two of us. "Really?" She asked. "Do you think she apprectiated that?" And then she went upstairs,too.
