\nSummary<\/b>: Harry’s going to have fun whether he likes it or not.

You Only NEED One Spell if You Can Do it Properly!<\/b> <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Solve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ron, maybe this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t such a good idea,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry fretted. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I mean, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to give Ginny the wrong idea.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Ron straightened up from examining a pair of his old trainers and backed up to try again.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Honestly, Harry\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsolve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u201dshe can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t possibly get the wrong idea,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron grunted in disgust at the unchanged state of the shoes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be obvious to Snape\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blind grandmother\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsolve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re completely dotty for her.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not helping!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry exclaimed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve told Ginny, and you too for that matter, that there is absolutely no way we can be together. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too bloody dangerous!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Get a grip, Harry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron told him, tapping his wand experimentally against the table as if to see if it was on. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dinner and a movie, not a ruddy marriage license. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to give yourself\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsolve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u201dan aneurysm.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stop it!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry finally roared, snatching Ron\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wand out of his hand. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m trying to have a serious conversation with you, and all you can do is hammer away at that ridiculous charm to untie shoes that there is clearly something wrong with! Why is it so damned important that you learn it before this double date that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re forcing me to go on?!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stop changing the subject,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron grabbed his wand back. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You need to get out of this stuffy tower\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsolve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand have some fun, and clearly the person you most want to have fun with\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsolve funiculum!!\u00e2\u20ac\u201dis Ginny, so you might as well shut it\u00e2\u20ac\u201dSolve Funiculum!!\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand enjoy yourself like a normal Sixth Year\u00e2\u20ac\u201dSOLVE FUNICULUM!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Ron\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cries of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153solve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d were growing progressively more frustrated, but with the final scream, the shoelaces of the trainers obediently flopped open.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ah HA!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron waved his wand wildly in triumph, and Harry ducked to avoid being skewered. He rearranged himself back into a semblance of calm. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Besides, once you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen Ginny in Muggle clothes, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll forget your own name, much less how to brood.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Have you seen what she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wearing then?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop himself from asking.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen Hermione\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stuff before,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron grinned lasciviously. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If I ever meet the man who invented those, whad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122yacallems, miniskirts, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll throw myself at his feet and kiss the dirt he walks on! And those shoes! The ones that doctor fellow makes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry wrinkled his brow, trying to figure out what Ron was on about now.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You know, those big clonky things,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron waved airily. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dr. Matins, or Marvin\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you mean Doc Martens?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry finally asked.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yeah, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the very blighter!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron nodded vigorously. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That man can make a shoe!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Harry began to rub his temples, feeling a headache coming on.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bloody hell, look at the time!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron exclaimed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I told Hermione I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d have you in the Common Room five minutes ago!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Harry allowed himself to be inspected one last time and then pushed out of the room, and followed Ron down to meet the girls. And he did have to admit, when he entered the Common Room, Doc Martens and miniskirts did something for Ginny he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t likely to soon forget.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re late,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hermione accused as Ron leaned over to kiss her cheek.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hello to you too,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he responded smoothly. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Next time you get to be in charge of getting Mr. Tall, Dark, and Sulky in proper order.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry gave Ginny an awkward hello and she smiled knowingly at him.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d, er, better get going,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Harry said, clearing his throat, thinking that it seemed a bit warm all of the sudden.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ladies first,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron said, holding open the Fat Lady\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s portrait as first Ginny, then Hermione went through. As Hermione went past, Harry heard Ron mutter \u00e2\u20ac\u0153solve funiculum!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d under his breath.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, damn!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hermione said, looking down. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153These blasted laces never stay tied!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Hermione bent over to retie her shoe, obviously unused to wearing a short skirt and blissfully unaware that there are things a girl shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do in one.<\/p>\n
Harry turned crimson and hurriedly looked away. Ron gave an appreciative glance, enjoying the view for all it was worth.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re you looking so smug about?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hermione asked Ron as he and Harry followed through the portrait hole.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was just thinking how fantastic you look in Muggle clothes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Ron covered smoothly. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And I LOVE those shoes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bloody hell!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hermione exclaimed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Now the OTHER lace is undone!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
