I heard a report about the incident from Wood and the twins. I think you've been punished enough for your part in the fracas, and in a rather thorough way, too--and with your own wand, no less. (Which is probably good--hopefully it might keep Mum from sending you another Howler.) And I will say in all fairness that it sounds as though the provocation was quite extreme. I'll do my best to smooth things over in the Prefects meeting tomorrow, if the subject comes up.
Still, well...you know you've had a rather rough start to the school term, Ron. Please try to refrain from trading hexes with other students, all right? And consider Dean Thomas' special situation. Dad particularly wants him to succeed, but Dean's position as a student of Hogwarts is perhaps a bit precarious, especially in certain people's eyes. He needs to be seen as totally irreproachable. What counts as a mere scuffle for you could have rather more serious consequences for him.
