Summery: Ron's letter to Fred and George when he accepts the truth about Hermione and Snape.

A/N: Mt first fic in Ron's PoV… eek… Is it okay? Set at, say, the end of the trio's Sixth Year?

o.O;;

Dear Fred and George,

You probably know about this, but I've got to spill my guts to someone! I can't believe this!

Hermione and Krum I could deal with. That was okay. But Hermione and Snape? What the hell?!?! How can she bare to stay in the same room, to say nothing of kiss, that git?!

Ouch.

Hermione and Snape kissing.

*Bad* mental image there.

Has Hermione totally lost her marbles? Have all those late nights in the library finally drove her off the deep end? What kind of evil thing could have possessed her to do such a thing?! How on earth did she manage to fall for the slimeball, anyway? Whatever happened to liking cute guys who have done impressive deeds and have deal hair? Seems like everything went downhill since she and Krum were together. Yeah, it's all his fault! He's the one who got her started on ugly evil older guys with horrible beaked noses!

Harry told me Hermione and Snape were together, but I didn't believe him. Snape told me he and Hermione were together, but I didn't believe him. Hermione herself had told me, but I didn't believe it. Hell, I wouldn't believe it, period, until, of course, I saw those two in the dungeons all snuggly-wuggly and sharing each other's hot coco. I, being the brilliant speech-man I am, managed to stutter something along the lines of, "Get your hands off her!!" While my ears turned a lovely shade of red to match my sweater.

To which Hermione calmly replied, "I told you we were together. Didn't you believe me?"

Well, hell no! And I was happy not believing you! But all I said was, "Er, I believe you now, bye!" before bolting up to the Gryffindor Common Room.

Bah.

Hermione just left, she explained the whole story to me. She said it started when they where working together in Florida for the Order of the Phoenix. Her parents where vacationing there for the winter, and Dumbledore wanted a member of the Order to go with her because Voldemort was trying to get supporters in Miami. (Figures. He should have tried Hollywood, he'd get more that way.) Snape's name was drawn out of the hat, so he got to skidder down to Miami Beach for Christmas and watch Hermione skidder around in one of those skimpy muggle swimsuits.

Anyhoo, as they were working together they started to, quote, "feel something that is more than friendship", unquote, for the other. Hermione somehow got kidnapped, and Snape rescued her, and they told each other of their undying love, yadda, yadda, and they're been together ever since. Bah. Utter crap, all of it.

Okay. I think I can deal with this. Good thing I'm not pining after her anymore… Lavender and I are quite happy together, thank you very much! Anyway, how's Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes going? I see your products all over, and even used a few myself! Oh, have to go, quidditch practice.

Dungbombs for all,

Ron
