A/N: Okay, second chapter………I hope that you all liked the first chapter. I mean, I guess you had to, or you wouldn't be reading this one. Lol. I just wanted to add that you might be a little surprised as these chapters go on, because there are going to be VERY unlikely people feeling sorry, you'll see. I'm writing this the same day that I wrote the first chapter, so I don't know about any reviews yet. But when I do, I'll be sure to thank you in a chapter. I mean, I didn't even publish these yet. Lol………right…………anyways, r/r!J

Ronald Weasley ~ Sighing Does Nothing
Ron Weasley was eating dinner with his family when it happened. Suddenly, out of the blue, a snowy white owl came pelting out of nowhere and landed in the bowl of soup.
"Hedwig!" Ron exclaimed.
He grabbed the owl and realized that there was a letter to him from Harry.
"Umm………may I be excused?" he asked.
"What is it, dear?" Mrs. Weasley inquired.
"Uh, a letter from Harry," Ron answered.
"Oh! Yes dear, go ahead. And make sure to send a letter back telling him that we'll pick him up on July 25, so he can finally have a decent birthday. Oh, and give him some of the mince pies that I've baked. Poor dear………" she added.
Ron hurried up to his room with Hedwig. He took the letter from her and read it:
Ron,
I hope that this doesn't sound too rude to your mum, but is it okay for me to come over to the Burrow sooner than usual? I'm feeling a little cramped up here at the Dursley's. Thanks, and I'll see you soon.
Harry
As soon as the letter was read, Ron knew what was going on. Harry was most likely being locked up again. AND he was probably really sad about Sirius.
Sirius…………
Ron knew that many people would disagree with him, but he knew better. The fact, the plain truth, was, that it was his, Ron Weasley's fault that Sirius had gone.
How could it not be?
He should have supported Harry when he needed it. He should have helped more. But no, the only help he was at the Department of Mystery was to be jinxed and waste everybody's precious time in being stupid and summoning that brain.
He always knew that he was stupid. He only didn't know how much until after Sirius died. He should have listened to Hermione and patiently talked to Harry about the possibilities. He should have realized that You-Know-Who had many powers, and that he could have cooked up any scheme.
Ron sighed. He knew that sighing wasn't any help, but he couldn't help it.
It had seemed so obvious once Dumbledore explained it. Ron already knew that Harry could sometimes feel You-Know-Who's feelings, so why not his thoughts? You-Know-Who could easily overpower Harry. He wanted to lure Harry to him, so making it seem like Sirius was in danger was so simple. Why hadn't he thought of it?
Because you're stupid, a voice said inside his head.
Ron sighed once more.
He knew that it wasn't entirely his fault, but still, he was still to blame for parts of it.
Ron took a piece of paper and scribbled a reply to Harry:
Harry,
Yeah, Mum says that it's fine for you to come over. In fact, we'll pick you up on the 25th of July. She says she wants to give you a "decent" birthday. Here's some of the pies that she's baked for you, and I'll see you soon!
Ron
He gave the letter and pies to Hedwig, who flew off immediately.
He then took another piece of paper and wrote:
Hermione,
I'm writing to you because I'm worried about Harry. The whole thing about Sirius, well, I think that pressure's getting to him. He's coming over to the Burrow on the 25th. I hope you can come too? Anyways, we'll have to find some way to cheer him up. You're smart, you should find a way. So, see you soon.
Ron
Ron gave this letter to Pig, who was going crazy with excitement already.
It was his fault.
He sighed.
He knew that it was no use sighing, but he couldn't help it.

I know that this one didn't exactly sound as professional as the first chapter, but well, I did this one as everything popped into my mind, while for the one about Harry, I had it all pretty much written down. lol. I sort of had a hard time thinking about Ron's faults, but hey, there were some!! Soo…………review? Lol. And check back!! (Am I being mean?)
