Honestly!

I have heard some absolutely mad rumors going round about what happened in the cave! Two different people asked me if we'd found a chest full of pirate's gold--one had heard that MLE Hit-Wizards had come and taken it in as evidence, and the other had heard that we were all hiding it in our tents!

Did you see how they got the story all twisted round in the Prophet? (And wasn't that a silly picture of Harry they used? I'd be cheesed off I was him.) And then they made it all about Dean Thomas. I mean I'm not saying what's happened to him isn't dead interesting, but he wasn't even there in the cave with us!!

Incredible!

No, what'd they say? It does seem like Marvolo has to put up with a lot of people taking silly pictures.

That's so like grownups!

They made it sound like Harry was a big hero to uncover the treasure, and like he single-handedly taught Thomas about a hundred spells to get MacMillan oit of there. Like Harry being there made Thomas a great wizard, or like they're new best mates.

Not that Harry wouldn't be friendly, I mean. He's very polite to everybody and Thomas deserves to be with us now that he's a real wizard. But they barely know each other, that's all.

It's interesting how the Prophet sometimes is very accurate but other times it reads like a Bewitching Brunilda mystery. I tried asking Lucius why once and he didn't really answer. He said something about editors that I didn't quite get.

It would be hard to hide it in our tent. There was no room. But I'd like to see pirate gold.
