Gossip before the disaster
I’m rereading prisoner of azkaban and fully appreciating how wild it is that of all the people ron could have made friends with, it’s the guy whose parents were murdered by his pet rat.

Chapter 31 summary/ excerpt:
Harry and Ron were tearing their room apart. Harry was bewilderedly holding out cheese in his hand while awkwardly clicking his tongue and ducking through corners. While Ron was throwing everything he touched behind him.
“Oi!” Fred said, crashing into the room with George. “You lot are going—“
“To miss the train.” George finished for him.
They paused for a moment as soon as they entered the room.
“What happened here!?” They said together as they took in the mess of sheets pulled back and books tossed everywhere.
“I can’t find Scabbers!” Ron exclaimed.
“So what? He’s made some rat friends in the castle. Let him be.” Fred shrugged. “We’re going to make us miss the train over a rat.”
“Maybe you’ll find him after the Holidays.” George tried to reassure him.
“But what if he gets hungry? He could die!” Ron said.
“He’s probably asleep somewhere.” Fred said exasperated.
“He’s a rat I’m sure he’ll know how to get food.” George said.
“What is going on!?” A new pompous voice came from the door. Percy Weasley shoved his way into the room. “I have been waiting in the common room all morning. We can’t miss the train. Mrs. Black was kind enough to allow us into her home, if we cause trouble for her by missing the train and making her wait—“
“I can’t find scabbers!” Ron cut his brother off.
“You lost my rat!” Percy yelled.
“He’s not even yours anymore!” Ron yelled back.
“No. He’s just made new rat friends in the castle and doesn’t want to spend Christmas with the Blacks. Now let’s go!” Fred said.
