PAGES: 221-222

Hermione reads aloud from the The Daily Prophet that Stan Shunpike has been arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activity. Harry and Ron are incredulous, as they remember Stan as a harmless Knight Bus conductor. Hermione suggests that the Ministry may be trying to look like they are taking action, and she shares that the Patil twins' parents want to withdraw them from Hogwarts, citing safety concerns.
