BRAuthor: Alex Brown
BRHermione's and Ginny's letters about Ron and his boyfriend.
BRThey're not mine, but J.K.Rowlings

PDear Ginny
BRHow's France? I have some news. Ron has a boyfriend. He came here to pick Ron up for Haloween. Ron had never told us
about it, We, Harry and I, knew he was in love, but he didn't say anything. Jesse seems nice enough. Do you know more
about him? He was here just shortly and then they left.
PBye,
PHermione

PDear Hermione
BRFrance is terrific. Although I'm having trouble with the language, classes are in English, but around the speak French.
It goes soo fast, but I'm learning.
PWe know Jesse for a very long time. He was an orphan, His father died before he was born, his mother died with his
birth. Mum then took care of him. She did that till Jesse was five and Ron was born. One of my uncles and his wife had
been trying to get children for years and it became clear they would never have one of their own. They offered to take on
Jesse. It was a hard decision to make, but she said yes. At first she missed him very much. He had been one of her sons,
but the care of my brothers took her mind off him. Jesse still came over in the vacations. Ron grew up and started to look
up to Jesse.
PWhen Ron was sixteen and Harry and you got together. I found him in the dorm. He was crying. So I asked him what was wrong.
Well he told me he was in love. At the time I thought he meant you 'Mione, and that he was jealous of Harry. Now I know it was
the other way around. He was in love with Harry. I told him he had to tell Harry or you, but he refused and forbid me to tell
anyone, especially not Fred and george. They would just make fun off him. He tried to hide it and did that really well. Although
sometimes I saw him cry when he was alone.
PA year later he was over it. Jesse didn't visit us this year during the vacation. He had just finished college and started
working at the Daily Prophet. He had to work hard to prove himself. He could only visit when we were back at school.
You, Harry and Ron would start your sophomore year at Lethon's. It happened that Ron had some freetime as well. You know it was
when harry and you went to Spain. Ron went back to the Burrow. Dad was called away for a big job. Mum had to go and see one of
her sisters who had been taken ill. So Ron and Jesse were home alone for two days after which Jesse had to leave.
PRon sent me a letter at hogwarts saying he was in love again, with Jesse. He wasn't sure Jesse liked him that way. So back
at college he put Jesse out of his mind as he had with Harry. And according to letters he was again quite succesful.
PThis year when we came to the Burrow for the summer, Jesse was already there. On Friday there were only Jesse, Ron and
me. Mum and dad had gone to the Darcy's for their monthly cardgame. Fred and George had found nice twin sisters, and I was
waiting for my date to show up. Then Jesse asked Ron out. I saw a flicker in his eyes. Jesse was also in love with Ron. I
was so happy for him.
PI was back home when Ron and Jesse returned. They didn't see me. Ron was blushing. Jesse pulled Ron down and kissed him hard
and long. They made a cute couple. Jesse would stay for two weeks and spend all with Ron.
PThe next day our parents returned. Mum directly asked Jesse how the date had gone. He had asked their permission.
PAfter the two weeks we hardly saw Jesse or Ron, Jesse had to go. He had to write an article about some festival in Scotland.
While he was gone they wrote letters. Ron never wrote as much as this summer I assume. After Scotland he got his big break.
He was to report the war between two groups of wizards in Eastern Europe. I heard some pretty disturbing thngs about it.
PRon was having a very hard time knowing he had a boyfriend and knowing said boyfriend was placing himself in danger. So the
last weeks of the vacation he was very quiet.
PBefore he left to Lethon College he finally received a letter that Jesse was safe and sound at home in London.
They started writing again. Jesse wrote Ron twice a week. I read some of the letters. Ron showed them to me.
So I knew about Ron and Jesse. I didn't tell you he didn't want you to know yet or he would have told you himself.
PI have to go now. I have class. Oh, I'll be over with Christmas. So I think I will see you then. There's a dance in London.
Colin's going to take me there. I miss Colin. Ron and Jesse are going as well. Would you and Harry like to join us? We
would love that.
PBye,
PGinny
