At the Burrow, Mrs Weasley was sitting down in the kitchen with Remus Lupin, and Tonks, having a cup of tea.
It was a reasonably sunny day outside, and there was a light breeze coming through the open window.
However, the peace was disturbed when a tiny owl, named Pigwidgeon, flew through the window, and landed in the sugar bowl, a letter clamped in its beak.
"Ah! News from Ron!" said Mrs Weasley, while opening the letter.
She scanned through it quickly, and as she did, her face fell, and she gasped.
"What's wrong Molly?" asked Remus with a worried expression.
"Listen to this" and she started to read the letter out:
"To Mum,
Something awful has happened.
Harry drank a potion that turned out to be a mixture of the temperature-change, and the memory-loss potion.
He's still alive, but Madame Pomfrey said it's a deadly mix, and she's surprised he's not dead.
Ginny isn't taking the news too well, and refuses to leave him (they're going out by the way)
From Ron
P.S. Sorry for having to tell you, as I know its horrible news. But I thought you ought to know.
"Oh no!" Tonks gasped as Remus stood up.
"Come on." He said. "We've got to get up there."
"I agree." Said Mrs Weasley, grabbing her coat and going to the fireplace.
"Hogwarts." She said clearly and, stepping into to the emerald flames, she disappeared, Remus and Tonks following.
