Hermione, George and Fred made their way to the Common hall after their meeting with Mcgonagal, a pounce in their steps. Once they entered the large doorway, everyone glanced at them for a second before many averted their eyes back to their food. Only Harry, Neville, Ginny and Ron were looking at them now from down at the Gryffindor table. The trio made their way down towards the group, the twins’ short legs pumping as fast as they could go. 
“Hey guys,” Hermione grinned at their friends as they sat down, her grin faltering slightly as she side eyed Ronald. “You won’t believe the good news we just received-” Luna suddenly plopped beside Ginny with a starry eyed look.
“Congratulations Fred, George. I heard you will be back to your normal selves soon.” she said in her usual light and wispy tone. She must have noticed all of our questioning looks, because she soon elaborates. “The Nargles told me.” We all just smile at Luna’s antics now. 
Ron turns to me and opens his mouth, but is suddenly interrupted by the usual owl mail dropping in and a red envelope landing in front of him. His neutral face turns into one of horror as he stares at the same blood red envelope he had received back in our second year.
“Better open it Ron.” Harry warns him. Ron gulps before tearing the top open. Suddenly, the envelope floats up and hovers in front of Ron, growing teeth and a tongue before speaking in Mrs. Weasley’s shrill voice.
“RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU GET CAUGHT SNOGGING ANOTHER GIRL WHILE YOU ARE DATING HERMIONE?! THIS IS AN ENTIRELY NEW LEVEL OF DISRESPECT FROM YOU! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FRANKLY DISGUSTED BY YOUR ACTIONS YOUNG MAN. AND DON’T YOU DARE THINK THAT YOU CAN AVOID THE POOR GIRL, SHE WILL BE INVITED TO EVERY BRUNCH, DINNER AND PARTY WE CAN EVEN THINK OF HAVING! IF YOU DON’T MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND GIVE A BLOODY GOOD APOLOGY, I’LL HAVE YOU CLEANING GNOMES OUT OF THE GARDEN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!” The letter then turned to Hermione and said in a sweet, calm voice: 
“Hermione Dear, Feel free to visit whenever you please. Don’t let my idiot of a son stop you from doing so. We all love you so much dear, you and Harry are both unofficial Weasley’s.” The letter then tore itself up in front of everyone and the whole hall began to burst out laughing at Ron’s expense. His whole face was red, his ears the brightest shade of purple I had ever seen. I look up at the professors, some chuckling behind their hands, some holding in their laughter behind a stoic face. I see Percy give me a smile and a wink. He must have been the one to send a letter to Molly. I turn back to Ron and catch his eye and give him a soft smile and mouth the words ‘I forgive you’.
After all, I think he is genuinely sorry. And after that display, I think he’s been punished enough.
