First in something... When Ron and Harry joined some teachers for 
christmas feast, (including Trelawney) - there were thirteen in the 
table. Trelawney gets her usual prediction-fit, and says that the 
first to rise is the first to die. (of the people on the table, I 
guess). Ron and Harry rise at the same time - and then wonder which 
of them it is... but perhaps neither one was the first? In life, at 
least Ron's got the _Special Award_ for the CoS-adventure AND his 
parents bought him a new wand. Ron _was_ happy for it for a while, 
and then he got to his usual self, complaining about the rat...
