"I just got kicked out of the house this morning and I need to have another place of shelter by the end of the year." He responded.

"Oh. Well at least you have until summer. Ron and I could help you."

"I could help who Hermione?" Ron said, startled they were talking about him.

"Me, I got kicked out of my house and need to find another house to live in by the end of the year." Harry said. "Now, not a word of this to Malfoy or his Cronies."
