Ron fiddled with the wireless. He kept tuning the stations while muttering the name Mad-eye. Lee said it was today. Any minute now. The wireless clicked and Ron heard the static voice of Lee Jordan.
Hello, listeners. River here.
"Ron, turn it off." George moaned.
"No."
I'm happy to inform you that this will be the last Potterwatch program for the war is over and Voldemort is dead!
"Ron!"
"No! He's one of your best mates!"
On the very unfortunate side of things, many good people have died before the end. You may come out of your hiding places to celebrate, but here are the good, smiling faces you won't see anytime soon.
"Turn it off, Ron!"
"Just listen, will you? We owe them that much."
Bertha Jorkins
Cedric Diggory
"Ron, please," George begged.
Marlene Mckinnon
Gideon and Fabian Prewett
Dorcas Meadowes
Amelia Bones
"Ron!"
"Shut it, will you? I'm trying to hear."
Emmaline Vance
Florean Fortescue
Anna Abbott
Regulas Black
Charity Burbage
"Ronald Weasley," George growled. "Turn it off!"
Rufus Scrimgeour
Severus Snape
Bathilda Bagshot
Ted Tonks
Dirk Cresswell
Gornuk the goblin
Dobby the free elf
George didn't understand why Ron refused to turn it off. They were both sobbing, anticipating what was about to be heard.
Colin Creevy
Lavender Brown
Harry sat on the floor behind the couch so neither George nor Ron noticed he was there.
Sirius Black
Alastor Moody
Albus Dumbledore
"Please, Ron?" George pleaded.
Lily Evans-Potter
James Potter
"Ron, turn it off," Harry spoke, startling the brothers.
Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin
Remus Lupin
Fred Wea-click
Ron shut it off. He thought it would help. But it didn't. The three boys silently cried as the loss of all those people sunk in. Lee was right; they would never see those smiling faces at Diagon Alley or Hogwarts ever again.
