That evening, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny gathered to discuss the matter.
They had heard Fred and George mention collecting their own bounties from the Ministry of Magic before. Though they had no idea how they had pulled it off, they all thought it was an excellent idea and had even wanted to take part, only to be ruthlessly turned down by Sirius and the Twins.
