After The Daily Prophet article essentially calling Remus a predator while painting Hermione as a bewitched damsel in distress was issued, the household stopped subscribing to the "news". With Remus and Harry both working at the Ministry, Sirius routinely managing family investments at Gringotts, and of course, being on a first-name basis with the Minister of Magic himself, they didn’t see a need for that particular brand of reporting. Anything of importance would get to them in a timely fashion, and Hermione could always count on Pansy or Mrs. Weasley for the latest gossip. So last night, when dinner was interrupted by an owl carrying a copy of the evening Prophet with a bright red envelope attached, everyone was rightly confused.
