Hogwarts was in full swing. It seemed that every student was starting to settle in, even the first years who are new to living at the Hogwarts castle. Homework was starting to pile up, while the patience of the students was starting to fade down. Because of this, everyone was super excited for some good news: The Autum Ball.

Everyone was scrambling around to get a date to the ball. Thankfully, Rusty already had his date locked down. @Karime Lenior. The prettiest girl in Ravenclaw. At least to Rusty. They met a few weeks ago at the Great Lake, and later they decided to go to the ball together. Now Rusty had a date, all he had to do before the big night was get something incredible to wear. Something that would make him look handsome standing next to Karime.

Thankfully, his mother was kind enough to take off work and take him to Diagon Alley during a weekend to shop for dance robes. His mother was overjoyed to hear that Rusty was taking a girl to the ball, and wanted nothing more then her son to look fabulous. So they both went to the most famous clothes store in the wizarding world: Madam Malkin's.

Rusty told his mother to wait outside. He wanted to find his dress robes by himself. Turns out he wouldn't be in the store on his own though. It was filled with Hogwarts students!
