Ron watched as Hermione plucked the snitch out of the air and remembered when Scrimgeour had first handed it to Harry, hope on his face that it would open right there on the spot. But Harry had caught his first snitch in his mouth, oddly enough, so it wouldn't open by holding it in his hand and the Minister had been sorely disappointed. But Ron expected them to recognise all the things in Harry's compartment, yet Hermione was asking him about something. Maybe they just needed to get it out into the light.
He stuck his hand in and grabbed the rolled scroll and pulled it out into view. Ron unfurled the scroll, already feeling an odd sort of magic coming from it as he held it between his fingers. There on the parchment they could see some strange language Ron didn't recognise. He looked up at Hermione. "What is it - ancient runes?" He was fairly certain it wasn't, but asked anyway just in case. He remembered the runes in Hermione's copy of Beedle the Bard and these looked nothing like that, nor anything else Ron had ever seen. "I don't remember Harry having this. Do you?" Ron tried to recall some point in which Harry had showed him this, but he would have remembered feeling this amount of magic. "It has a lot of magic on it, 'Mione. Do you think it's dangerous?"
