SURE ENOUGH, FRED DID GET IN TROUBLE. mr. and mrs. weasley were both infuriated with fred. the whole ordeal was hilarious, really. dudley had it coming to him for a long time. luckily enough, everyone but fred and george were able to escape the wrath of molly weasley in time.
the room at the top of the house where ron slept looked with posters of ron's favorite quidditch team, the chudley cannons, were whirling and waving on the walls and sloping ceiling, and the fishtank on the windowsill, which had previously held frog spawn,now contained one extremely large frog. ron's old rat, scabbers,was here no more, but instead there was the tiny gray owl that had delivered ron's letters to elara over the summer. it was hopping up and down in a small cage and twittering madly.
"shut up, pig," said ron, edging his way between two of the four beds that had been squeezed into the room. "fred and george are in here with us, because bill and charlie are in their room," he told harry. "percy gets to keep his room all to himself because he's got to work."
"er — why are you calling that owl pig?" harry asked ron.
"because he's being stupid," said ginny. "its proper name is pigwidgeon."
"yeah, and that's not a stupid name at all," said ron sarcastically."ginny named him," he explained to harry. "she reckons it's sweet. and i tried to change it, but it was too late, he won't answer to anything else. so now he's pig. i've got to keep him up here because he annoys errol and hermes. he annoys me too, come to that."
pigwidgeon zoomed happily around his cage, hooting shrilly.elara knew ron too well to take him seriously. he had moaned continually about his old rat, scabbers, but had been most upset when hermione's cat, crookshanks, appeared to have eaten him.
"where's crookshanks?" harry asked hermione now.
"out in the garden, i expect," she said. "he likes chasing gnomes. he's never seen any before."
"percy's enjoying work, then?" said harry, sitting down on one of the beds and watching the chudley cannons zooming in and out of the posters on the ceiling.
"enjoying it?" said ron darkly. "i don't reckon he'd come home if dad didn't make him. he's obsessed. just don't get him onto the subject of his boss. according to mr. crouch . . . as i was saying to mr. crouch . . . mr. crouch is of the opinion . . . mr. crouch was telling me . . . they'll be announcing their engagement any day now."
