This story is based on a "Dear Abby"- type column, written by Ron Weasley for the Hogsmeade Herald, a newspaper that is also available at Hogwarts. Yes, this is a Ron/Hermione fic. For any readers familiar with the Speaker's Corner on CITY-TV, Ron's responses take the form of those common to the Devil's Advocates.

Wacky Wise Wizard's: Words on Women:

Welcome readers, to the first installment of my advice on women. In this column, I will answer boys' questions about girls, and even some girls' questions about boys. Just owl your letters to: The Hogsmeade Herald. Now, on to my first letter:

"Dear WWW: Why are women so difficult to understand? Signed, The Roaring Lion."

Dear Pussy Cat: The human male was created so perfectly, so flawlessly, and so intelligently (in general), there was no mystery he could not solve. So, someone decided to give him one.

"Dear WWW: There's a girl that keeps pestering me and bothering me about my hair, my homework, etc. And she keeps calling me lazy. Can you help me with this? Signed, Wandering in the Dark."

Dear Without a Clue: This is a simple solution. I have a lot of practice with this. Just tell her that there's more to life than homework and just go about enjoying Quidditch, exploding snap, or whatever else you enjoy doing. But don't ignore her, it's liable to come back and bite you in the ass. If she starts lecturing, just nod whenever she pauses, and when she's finished, just agree with her and you'll be fine.

That's all for now. See you next week and keep sending in your questions.

Please review. If you like, send your own question to "WWW" in your review. We will do our best to answer them. Your penname will be posted next to your question. Please don't be insulted by any of Ron's answers, this is all in good fun. Note: Questions sent to "WWW" should preferably not come from any of the main characters in the books, especially from Ron. Pretend you are the student writing the letter (your penname will be your alias).
