However, with a broken leg the Weasel hadn’t been as lucky as his friends at running for the safety of Hogwarts, and the savage claw marks on his back had his mother sobbing over his bed in the Hospital Wing about how her baby boy was going to be a werewolf. Ron Weasley left the school in the wake of the anti-werewolf paranoia that swept the school community after the revelations about Lupin’s attack, never to return. Hermione thought it couldn’t have happened to a better person (well, except maybe Parkinson). Harry said Ron was being home-schooled now, but frankly she really couldn’t care less – she just mouthed the correct polite things and kept her thoughts on the matter to herself whenever Harry or Neville were around.
