"What am I going to tell my parents?" Michelle asked with a groan, leaning back against the couch. "Could I get away with not telling them anything? I mean, it's not like muggles in general have any idea of what's going on in the wizarding world, so maybe they could stay in the dark. I'll just make sure none of them get ahold of any of the issues of the Prophet that I get over the summer. And then once I'm back here in September, there'll be no reason for them to even suspect there's anything wrong. And maybe I could get someone to cast some protective wards over the house, since I'll be underage and can't." At this point she was almost talking to herself, trying to make a plan.
"Can you keep me updated over the summer, do you think? If there's anything going on that the Prophet isn't reporting? I don't always get the inside scoop, since I'm kind of off by myself." It was one of the hard parts of being so separated over the breaks.
