The other was clearly a Ministry wizard; he was holding out a pair of pinstriped
trousers and almost crying with exasperation.
"Just put them on, Archie, there's a good chap. You can't walk around
like that, the Muggle at the gate's already getting suspicious--"
"I bought this in a Muggle shop," said the old wizard stubbornly.
"Muggles wear them."
"Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these,"
said the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers.
"I'm not putting them on," said old Archie in indignation. "I
like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks." - Two wizards at the
Quidditch Championship (those wacky wizards!)
