Hee. I'd never thought about the maroon stuff before. My bet would have been that, way back when, she had just assigned each kid a color and she'll stick with that until the day she dies. My mum does the same sort of thing with my socks--my socks all have a little purple piece of thread sewn in the end of them, so she knew they were mine when she did the laundry.

I assumed the Weasleys won the trip to Egypt? Or Bill paid for it? *shrugs*

The dress robe, however, is inexcusable. It's probably what his father wore to the Yule Ball (and was in style then) so his mum just sent it to him without a thought. BAD MOVE, MRS. WEASLEY.
