The explanation after the outburst from the Slytherin table was brief and everyone was allowed to eat their breakfast, the muggles slowly dispersing into the ranks of the students as they were dismissed by Dumbledore. Walking over to the Gryffindor table, Danny, Tucker, Sam and Jazz could clearly see a set of twins that had the same red hair as Ron staring at them as they walked by and joined the latter boy and his friends, Hermione waving at them as they approached.

Sitting down opposite the three students, Jazz leant over and asked, "What the heck is a muggle?"

Coughing, Harry smirked as the twins looked at each other, seemed to decide they were good and went about eating as Ron piled his plate with food and followed, Hermione scrunching her face in disgust as she poured a bowl of cereal and too began to eat, slower than her friend as Harry answered, "Someone who doesn't have any magical blood in them."

"And that's why that kid shouted out?" Jazz replied, looking down at the rest of the Gryffindors as Harry shook his head and spoke up, "Don't let what Malfoy said get you down. He's from a pureblood family that prizes itself on its purity. He's also a prick at best of times."

"Entertaining muggles, Potter? And here I thought you couldn't get any lower." Came a drawling voice from behind them all as they turned and saw the same boy they had been talking about. Draco Malfoy stood in between the hulking figures of Crabbe and Goyle, both of whom were looking menacingly at the quintet. A hand grabbed onto Harry's robe as he made to get up, Jazz pulling him back into his seat and muttering, "He's looking for trouble. Don't stoop to his level."

A nod from the boy wizard had the girl releasing his arm just as the fluttering of wings sounded from the rafters, signalling the arrival of the post owls, causing the campers to shout out in surprise as they were suddenly dive bombed by fluttering wings and fluffy little owls in Tucker's case as Ron snatched the tiny little owl out of the air to retrieve the red envelope attached to its leg, scowling when it chirruped in happiness and visibly paling when he spotted the colour of the letter itself. Looking at his friends as Harry turned to face the table again, Ron bolted up away from the table and ran outside, the other two, following straight after with the Gryffindor table and the Americans watching their retreating backs. Not even a minute later, the Gryffindor table was back to their previous activities and Malfoy was walking away, a smug grin plastered on his face as the four stared slightly.

"Howlers." Someone muttered, "Wonder why Weasley's got one."

"After last time? They'll have done something dangerous again. We all know what happened in Second year." A second person answered, "Question is why Granger ran out with 'em both."

Danny hunched his shoulders as he heard this, catching the attention of his friends as Sam laid a hand on his while Jazz did the same with his shoulder and Tucker said, "Don't worry about it, dude. We're here and we're all safe now."

"It was me he wanted though, Tuck," Danny said, his voice lowered so only his friends could hear. Looking around at the Gryffindors, he swallowed and said, "From what Professor Dumbledore told me, Harry and his friends have been getting into dangerous situations from their First Year. Heck, Harry's famous here."

"I somehow find that hard to believe." Jazz answered, looking at the nearest Lion as they ate, oblivious to the quiet conversation about their Housemate, "We've only known him a few hours and he seems really kind and eager to please."

"That's because h-"

"HOW COULD YOU DISOBEY THE HEADMASTER AND GO WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION?!" An angered voice shouted, the echoes reverberating through to the Great Hall. At the sound of the voice, all activity ceased as everyone looked in the direction of the huge oaken doors and Danny winced as the volume of the shouting reached his eardrums. The voice continued with, "WE WARNED YOU, RONALD WEASLEY: IF YOU PUT ANOTHER FOOT OUT OF LINE, WE WOULD BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! EXPECT US AT THE GATES AFTER SCHOOL!"

"Okay," Danny muttered after the shouting letter had stopped, rubbing his ears as everyone stared a little longer at the doors, waiting for the Golden Trio to come back through, "Not your average letter."

"Nah, Danny." A Gryffindor answered, looking at them, his shaggy hair falling in his hair as he added, "Howlers are mostly used by the Ministry or parents who are pissed off to no ends. Ron got one in their Second Year. Somehow, they managed to drive a car to school, got walloped by the Whomping Willow and he got a Howler at the end of it. Everyone heard what it said as well."

"I think I got it, Colin, wasn't it?" Danny butted in, the boy nodding as the doors creaked open slightly, the Trio huddling in, Ron's still pale face standing out as they walked ashamedly back to the table, everyone staring as they walked past the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables, silence in their wake before they made their way back to where they had sat before, Ron's pale face slinking down into his hands whilst the untouched breakfast went ignored. Neither of the other two could face their breakfasts now that they had endured the Howler, Harry visibly pushing his plate away into the middle as Hermione began playing with the food in hers, all three of them showing signs of lost appetite before Danny asked them gently, "Want to talk about it?"

Ron shook his head as he looked up to stare out at the distant wall, Harry and Hermione just going about what they had been doing before, neither of them answering as colour started to come slowly back to their faces, if only by a little bit. Before the four could say anything else, Harry, Ron and Hermione were getting up from the table and headed out of the Hall, the raven mumbling something about 'getting to class' as Danny nodded silently. As they exited, every sound ceased as students stared again at their backs, even a few of the teachers stopped their activities to watch the Golden Trio leave.

Feel free to kill me!

I just had to add the Howler in.

I can still remember what Molly screeched in the Chamber of Secrets Howler:

'RONALD WEASLEY!

HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! YOUR FATHER IS FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME!

Oh, and Ginny dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud.' Cue raspberry and tearing up. XD

Hope you like!

Hermione
