Chapter 23
"RONALD WEASLEY!" Ron's mother screeched. Ron cringed; this could not be good.
"Yeah, mum?" he asked as he hurried down the stairs.
"WHAT IS THIS I'M HEARING ABOUT YOU NOT SPEAKING TO HARRY?" she asked.
"He's friends with that bloody git Snape! Ron protested.
"LANGUAGE, RONALD, AND YOU WILL NOT HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST YOUR BEST FRIEND JUST BECAUSE HE'S FRIENDS WITH SOMEBODY YOU DON'T LIKE! DO YOU HEAR ME?"
"yes, mum," Ron muttered quietly.
"Good," she said. "Now go and start writing a letter apologizing to him."
"But-"
"NOW!"
"Yes, mum,"

Hermione finished the last few bits and peices of her letter before setting her quill down carefully and reading it.
Dear Harry,
I'm really sorry about the way Ron's been acting. It's just that all he knows is the bad side of the Slytherins, and I don't think he wants to see that they have a good side. Don't mind him; he'll get over it soon enough, Harry. If you ever need to talk, I'm here.
Best wishes,
Hermione

Harry flipped through the pages of the Daily Prophet.
"Sev, look!" he said, pointing to something in the Daily Prophet.
You-Know-Who Returns
Albus Dumbledore, leader of the Order of the Phoenix, reported that two and a half weeks ago You-Know-Who returned to power. The Ministry of Magic tryed to keep it quiet, but somehow it leaked out. The Ministry is asking that you all should remain calm, and that You-Know-Who will be captured and destroyed again.
"Yeah right," Harry muttered, rolling his eyes. "They'll never catch him. That'd be like trying to catch cmoke; like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands."
