When following his Head of House, Blaise could not help but gape at Ron and Hermione. The Gryffindors wore short, elegant robes of deep charcoal - he; and a soft, warm brown - she. Both looked dashing and certainly a lot more stylish than he had ever seen them at school. Hermione had even twisted up her hair. It seemed so effortless and natural yet looked so good that Blaise wondered why they never wore such attire at Hogwarts. He only got the tail-end of their conversation before they spotted him.
