Hey! I was struck by this idea when playing Minesweeper (a useful little tool for coming up with story ideas), and I'll be making another fic from Ron's POV soon after this one. This is R/Hr, and it's from Hermione's POV. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. There you go. Happy?
Letters to Nobody
You were one of the Weasleys. One of the six red-headed wizard brothers.
You were looked down upon. You were nothing special, nothing extraordinary. Everyone expected you to not beat your brothers. To never become Head Boy, Quidditch Captain, Prefect, or the "jokester". No one expected to become anything great, because everything great had already been done.
You were the "sidekick". The faithful friend of Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived. You were the guy on the side, the friend, the one who was never important.
To everyone, you were nobody. You were just another passerby, another drone of society.
Well, here's some letter's to you. Letters to Nobody. Letters to Ron Weasley.
July 3
Dear Ron,
How are you? I'm doing okay, but there's something I need to tell you. Ron, I have a crush on you. I've had it ever since September, when we met on the train.
Anyway, reply back to me. It's okay if you don't feel the same way, I hope we can still be friends.
Love, Hermione

Ron,
How are you? Is Ginny okay?
Ron, there's something you need to know. I've had a crush on you, ever since we met on the train. I thought it would've gone away by now, but it hasn't.
Tell me how you feel about me. Hope we can still be friends.
Love, Hermione

Hey Ron,
How are you? Good? That's good.
Um, there's something I want to say. Ron, I have a crush on you. I've had it for almost three years now, and it's gotten worse and worse, so I thought I should tell you.
I really hope you feel the same, but no hard feelings if you don't.
Love, Hermione

Hey,
Okay, don't laugh at this. I'm dead serious.
Ron, I think I might be in love with you. I've had a crush on you since we met, but it wasn't love... until the Yule Ball. Whenever you talked about taking a pretty girl out, I got so furious, and strangely sad. I went with Viktor to make you jealous. When we had that row afterwards, when I screamed... well, you know what I screamed... I think I discovered that I loved you.
I hope you'll understand.
Love, Hermione

Dear Ron,
I really NEED to tell you something. I've been putting it off for almost 6 years now, which is unlike me, but its never as serious as this.
Ron, I'm in love with you.
Owl back quickly.
Love, Hermione
XOXOXO
You may be wondering, why aren't Ron and I dating? Why doesn't he know that I'm deeply in love with him? Because, I haven't told him. Every summer, I make a vow to tell him, and when I'm about to send it, I get too scared.
Scared of rejection. Scared of failure. Scared that he will hate me and I'll lose my friendship with him. Scared that it won't work out.
This fear may sound silly, especially since I'm a Gryffindor and supposed to be brave, but no one ever said being brave meant no fear.
In fact, someone once said, "courage is not being fearless, but doing what needs to be done even if you're afraid".
But does telling Ron I love him really NEED to be done?
I don't know if it is or not. All I know, is that I'll keep writing letters to Nobody. Whether I'll send them or not, well, only the future can say.
FIN! No, it wasn't terribly fluffy, or even good for that matter, but I PROMISE YOU, that I will do accompanying chapters. One with Ron's POV, and one with the conclusion. hint The conclusion will take place during the Graduation ceremony. Don't say I didn't warn you!
