Has the Daily Prophet arrived yet?

I've a bad feeling. Something like this happened to more people than just the Grangers. I can't see bloody Riddle and his henchmen attacking one family and leaving it at that.

Perhaps they have some news. Or something.

The Prophet? No, dear, I don't -- *THWAP* That sounds like an owl at the window.

*opens the window and finds a brown owl bearing a newspaper in its talons. Takes the newspaper, puts 2 knuts in the owl's pouch and shoos it away*

Goodness, let's see what - *unfurls front page* Merlin's beard, look at this...

*pales*

What? What does it say?

Merlin, if anything has happened to him, I will personally hunt down the person respnsible for it-and I'll make that person regret being born.

*walks around and reads over his mum's shoulder*

Bloody hell.

*runs out the door*

*stands beside her mum, reading from an angle*

Exclusively Muggleborn... Zacharias is. Lavender Brown is...and Parvati went to Lavender's.

*creeps up to her room to grab some parchment, a quill, and her broom*

Talk to Mum, write him, and fly for a bit.

Ronnie? What's happened?

*quietly*

Parvati went to visit Lavender Brown, her best friend. Lavender's Muggleborn, and they were probably attacked.

*even quieter*

I understand what he's going through, too.
