"And now let's move to news concerning the wizard who is proving just as elusive as Harry Potter. We like to refer to him as the Chief Death Eater, and here to give his views on some of the more insane rumors circulating about him, I'd like to introduce a new correspondent: Rodent." "' '?" said yet another familiar voice, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione cried out together: "Fred!" "No--is it George?" "It's Fred, I think," said Ron, leaning in closer, as whichever twin it was said, "I'm not being 'Rodent,' no way, I told you I wanted to be 'Rapier'!" "Oh, all right then. 'Rapier,' could you please give us your take on the various stories we've been hearing about the Chief Death Eater?" "Yes, River, I can," said Fred. "As our listeners will know, unless they've taken refuse at the bottom of a garden pond or somewhere similar, You-Know-Who's strategy of remaining in the shadows is creating a nice little climate of panic. Mind you, if all the alleged sightings of him are genuine, we must have a good nineteen You-Know-Who's running around the place." "Which suits him, of course," said Kingsley. "The air of mystery is creating more terror than actually showing himself." "Agreed," said Fred. "So, people, let's try and calm down a bit. Things are bad enough without inventing stuff as well. For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That's a , listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that's glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it's safe to look into his eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that's still likely to be the last thing you ever do." For the first time in weeks and weeks, Harry was laughing: He could feel the weight of tension leaving him. "And the rumors that he keeps being sighted abroad?" asked Lee. "Well, who wouldn't want a nice little holiday after all the hard work he's been putting in?" asked Fred. "Point is, people, don't get lulled into a false sense of security, thinking he's out of the country. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but the fact remains he can move faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo when he wants to, so don't count on him being a long way away if you're planning on taking any risks. I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but safety first!"
