Hmm, that's an interesting question.  He might just
tell an modified version of the truth - a friend of
Harry's sent it with a message and said he could keep
it.  No reason to add that the "friend" is an escaped
convict. ;)  Or maybe he says that Harry or Hermione
got it for him because Scabbers died.  (Hermione was
so guilty about Crookshanks eating Scabbers she bought
him an owl?)  He had to explain Scabbers disappearing
too.

Well, Madam Pomfrey can mend broken bones in "about a
second", according to Harry, so Dumbledore didn't
necessarily have to explain anything, since Ron
wouldn't be *going home* with a broken leg.  Even if
he did, it's not *that* uncommon for a 13 year old boy
to break his leg, especially with all the trouble he
and Harry manage to get into.  They would probably
just sigh and say, "Again?" <g>
