I'M BAA-AACK!! Yeah, you're all ecstatic about the fact that I have returned with a proper fic this time!! I came up with the idea for this one a little while ago. My my last posted thingy was kind of weak, I know, and I just want to prepare you for the fact that this one probably won't be much better. Oh, the woes of me...once again, the usual apologies...I'm sorry if this isn't posted where I wanted it to be, I'm sorry if the editing is screwed, I'm sorry if this fic is really bad, I'm sorry if it has no sense (trust me, it doesn't) and sorry if I have proved that I am a crummy writer. OK, now I sound suicidal!! As Nina would say, 'You are, you ARE suicidal!'
hehehe, after all that ranting and stuff, I'll just let you read the fic...

If you want to know where the idea for this came from, ask my Muse, k? He controls all!

THE THREE LETTERS

Harry sat in the Gryffindor common room late one night. The fire was crackling brightly, and it's warmth reached Harry where he was sitting on one of the couches. Even in the firelight, one could see the worried and thoughtful expression on his face.

He was holding two letters, one in each hand. Both signed, and both similar for extremely strange reasons. In front of him, on the table, was another letter, also signed. Sighing, Harry looked at one of the letters in his hands.

'Dear Harry,
You would probably already know this, but I like you. As in, I REALLY like you. I always have. I guess you'd already know this because every time you used to look at me or talk to me I'd go bright red. Just like my hair, Ron once said. I got into so much trouble a little while ago, because he teased me about you so much that I told him to go f*** a tree. My mother heard me, and I got grounded for three weeks, as well as getting a severe lecture, which ended in Fred and George saying, 'Go f...f...find a tree!' around Mum all the time. Now I've gotten side-tracked. I guess the reason for this letter is that I can't tell you to your face how much I like you. There are a couple of reasons for this.

One: I am EXTREMELY shy, especially around you, and I could NEVER tell you to your face! I'd go bright red!

Two: I've been in awe of you ever since you saved me from the Chamber of Secrets in my first year. Even if I got the guts to tell you to your face, I'd probably get tongue-tied remembering how you risked your own life to save me, although you probably would have done that for anybody.

Lastly, and most importantly...

Three: You already have a girlfriend, which kind of means that if I got the guts to tell you, AND could manage to find my voice, Hermione would beat the hell out of me. I mean, she's nice and all, but if someone went up to MY boyfriend (not that I have one) and told him they really really liked him, I'd beat the hell out of THEM, too!

So I decided that the best way to tell you would be in a letter, because I figure that, since I'm younger than you, you don't like me in 'that way'. I'm fine with that, I guess, and I just figured you needed to know how I really feel about you. I hope we can be friends, there's no law against that, is there? And if there isn't, Percy would probably make one!

Yours,
Ginny Weasley.'

Harry smiled at the fire, although inside he felt very torn up and confused. Sighing, he put the note from Ginny down on the table, and looked at the second, shorter note in his other hand.

A/N: Hehe, don't you just LOVE cliffhangers? Although it's not really much of a cliffhanger! I thought I'd have a go at chapters, see if it works. And if it doesn't work, then...*shrugs*...I don't know, I'll just edit this one and put the next part of the story in...PLEASE review the story, although I have a request for all my reviewers! See, I don't know who Harry should end up with...you can probably guess who the next letter will be from, but who sent the last letter?! It's not slash, please don't get ideas...although if...*snap out of it!!* OK, no, it's NOT slash! Just tell me if you want him to stay with Hermione, or go with Ginny, or...maybe you should wait until I post the next couple of chapters (ie. the next couple of letters) before you tell me...although if you are very strongly H/Hr or H/G then, by all means, tell me now! You could also tell me how you want it to end, although you don't have to do that. I'll just muddle along and see what thoughts I come up with. Also, tell me what you think of the actual fic so far (that's what you review for, anyway!) so I know whether, 'Yeah, I'll keep going' or whether I'll just stop. Sigh. I don't even know what I'm going on about; don't know how you're supposed to!

Oh yeah. If you HAVE to flame me, well, try and be gentle, unless I seriously deserve it, k?

Oh, and a BIG thank you to all the people that reviewed my, well, list...YOU MADE MY DAY!!! Well, not really, but I was happy. Very happy, as my friends will tell you.
