    ... thought he wasn't speaking with you all after that argument this summer." An argument he still felt guilty for being the cause of. Feeling his guilt, Ginny bumped his shoulder lightly, and he smiled, feeling better. Ron shrugged. "He hasn't contacted any of us since then," he confirmed. Hermione nodded towards the letter. "What does it say?" she asked curiously. Ron took a deep breath and unrolled the piece of parchment. The handwriting was neat and elegant, slanting to the left slightly. It was very Percy. Reading over Ron's shoulder, they were all able to see what the middle Weasley brother had written. Dear Ron, I trust this letter finds you well. I know that, with our childish brothers, you do not have the best example to turn to at school at the moment, but please try to remember that this is your OWL year, and you must do well if you wish to obtain a decent job after graduation.

Do not let our parents' actions dictate your own, Ron, and do not let family ties blind you to the truth. I sincerely hope you will think about my words, particularly the part about Harry Potter, and good luck on your OWL year.
