Chapter 9: The Woes of Mrs Weasley

It is noteworthy and suspicious to Mr Weasley that Malfoy is meeting with Fudge at the Ministry.
They all celebrate the win but Harry is discouraged by Sirius’ growing moodiness. Mrs Weasley puts it down to Sirius being confused about whether Harry is his godson or his best friend James Potter come back.
Letters arrive to announce that both Ron and Hermione have been made the Gryffindor fifth-year prefects. Harry has not and everybody is confused. Mrs Weasley promises to buy Ron a present of congratulations and he chooses the best broom he thinks they can afford, the new Cleansweep model. Harry battles with conscience over his feelings about Ron being made a prefect over him.
Fred and George buy some illicit substances for their Skiving Snackboxes from Mundungus.
