Later that Saturday night after copying the transfiguration homework off Hermione, Ron decided it was time to start writing the three letters to his brothers.
'This is gonna be hard! Maybe even harder than Potions...nope...don't think it will be that hard!'
He climbed up the stairs to his dorm room. Luckily only Neville was there. Sitting on his own bed, reading a large book, on some plant Ron couldn't pronounce.
'Hi Ron, what you doing up here?' Neville looked up to Ron
'Oh, just going to write some letters to my oldest brothers. Haven't seen them in a while,' Ron sighed. He missed them.
Neville nodded and carried on reading.
Ron once again perched himself on the window sill, and got out his parchment and quill.
Dear Bill,
Was as far as Ron got. What would he write?
'Oh hi, just writing to say I'm a werewolf!' Ron silently joked. This would take more thought, than he would have liked.
After 2 hours of writing, crossing out, screwing up of paper and watching roommates and friends walk in and out; saying "Hi", "Bye", Ron finally had a letter he thought was okay to send.
Dear Bill,
I hope you are well, haven't seen you in ages. Things have changed, for the worse. I have been trying to look at this new erm...condition with positive thoughts, but I can't find anything good about it!
There is no other way to say it then to say it straight out.
I'm a werewolf.
That's it, that's my news, I'm only gonna tell, you, Charlie and Percy from our family, as you are the only ones I trust. Fred and George would just spread it, not on purpose, and Ginny would just spread it, she hates me and I hate her. We have a new DADA teacher, she hates half-humans, like me and she works for the ministry, so she would probably try and get me put in Azkaban if she knew.
Please can I talk to you in person?
Don't hate me.
Missing you loads.
Love,

Ron's mind wondered...
'Wait...'Mione figured out Lupin in seconds, I spend loads of time with her...she's gonna figure me out soon! Should I tell her? No...She hasn't said anything yet and anyway...I haven't spoken to her in a bit she can't figure me out if she doesn't speak to me.'
He pushed Hermione out of this mind and focused on the task at hand. Writing letters. He never thought he would say this but... writing was really hard. He grabbed two pieces of parchment from besides him. He would write Charlie's and Percy's letter in the same fashion just changing words and sentences to make it more personal to them. In another hour he managed to write out both letters...
Dear Charlie,
How's Romania? Hope you haven't been hurt lately.
I'm guessing your thinking something is up, I wouldn't write unless something bad had happened, can't a brother write to one of his favourite brothers just because he wanted to. Well I wish I could...you see something has happened. And it's not good.
I'm a werewolf.
I know pretty blunt but there was no other way I could have written it. I was bitten Friday night. Don't worry I'm copping ok at the mo, but I think it's gonna get worse. I have owled Bill, Percy, and Dumbeldore. Please don't tell mum or dad or anyone in the family. I couldn't cope with them all knowing; I haven't even told Harry or Hermione yet!
If you can could you possibly come to Hogwarts...but if you can't don't worry a letter will be fine.
Don't hate me.
Missing you loads.
Love,
Ron x x x x x x
Dear Percy,
I know we haven't spoke in a while since you walked out. Miss you thou. How is work? Good I hope, how is Pen? Hope she is well too.
Something has happened, and I can trust you to keep it sh. Please Percy, when I tell you, please keep it quiet. You can tell Penny, I trust her, she's nice.
I'm a werewolf.
I was bitten, I don't know who by or most details, but I do know for a fact. I was bitten. You must keep it a secret. We have a new DADA teacher; she hates half-humans and is from the ministry. You might know her, her name is Professor Umbridge. I haven't had her long, well it is only the start of the year.
Don't worry... I have told the Headmaster, and Bill and Charlie. Could I see you in person? I need to see you, but if you can't or don't want to, you don't have too.
Don't hate me.
Missing you loads.
Love,
Ron x x x x x x
Like the past two letters, Ron placed these three letters in envelopes and addressed them to the right people. Ron looked down to his watch.
'Merlin, hope I haven't missed dinner!'
Ron picked up all the letters and quickly walked to the owlery, he wasn't going to miss dinner. The only person there was Lavender. They smiled at each other and had a friendly chat, until she said she had to meet Padma in the Great Hall. Ron watched her walk away.
'I could never have attacked her, she's a friend of mine, but now...I just might,'
It saddened Ron to think of what he could do to such a lovely person like her. Like Hermione, he pushed that thought to the back of his mind.
He picked five fast looking owls and sent them on their way.
Fly fast...please.
Next, what will happen when letters are received? Thank you for reading. =)
