This story is based on a "Dear Abby"- type column, written by Ron Weasley for the Hogsmeade Herald, a newspaper that is also available at Hogwarts. Yes, this is a Ron/Hermione fic. For any readers familiar with the Speaker's Corner on CITY-TV, Ron's responses take the form of those common to the Devil's Advocates.
This is the penultimate chapter to the story. I hope you will love it and the final chapter.

Wacky Wise Wizard's: Woes of the Week: Issue #8
Wow! More letters lets start this week's with an obviously delusional reader:
"Dear W: There's this annoying redhead and I think I really like him, but all we do is fight. He's so annoying and stubborn! We argue over the stupidest things. He thinks the most important things in life are Quiditch (the Canons if you can believe THAT), chess, snowball fights, and any girl that's not me. What should I do? Signed, Bookworm Who's Sick of Redheaded Prats {from Teen Typist}"
Dear Bludger Belted Bookworm: Redheads are never stupid or prats, they never argue, but discuss. Perhaps he is just trying to show you that there is more to life than books. Maybe he hasn't noticed you because he can never see you behind your stack of books you always carry. Oh! and one more thing THE CANNON'S RULE!
"Dear W. I am 17 years old and I have never had a boyfriend or been kissed. What the heck is wrong with me?" {from Never been kissed()}
Dear Never Fear: There are plenty of men out there that never have been kissed either. Perhaps you have just not met that special guy yet. I'm sure when you do meet him, his red hair will make you glad you waited.
"Dear W: There's this guy that I really want to snog. I've done everything I can think of to get him to notice me but it's like I'm invisible! Any ideas? Signed, Desperate and Unnoticed" {from ER}
Dear Kruising for Kisses: Well, I have always found wearing a short skirt, high heels and a tight top always gets guys to notice. If that doesn't work, just tackle him into a broom closet.
"Dear W: I have this...friend and she is starting to show signs of having a serious personal problem. She's got a crush on this guy--a sweet, generous, brave, honest, caring guy who knows how to treat a woman properly--and she's relatively certain that he feels the same way about her. But she's got this brother...well, a couple brothers, two or three at the MOST...who don't realize that she's not a child anymore and that she can take care of herself. Is there any advice you could give me to tell my friend so that she can tell her brothers to BUZZ OFF and MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS?" {from: Diocletian()}
Dear Buzzed and Baffled: Her brothers are doing what every brother should do. They are making sure the guy is serious about her and not playing games. If he stays with her and eventually stands up to them, they will know he cares about her. This guy sounds like a keeper to me. He must be a redhead.
Now the results of our poll: blue eyes 12 votes, green eyes 11 votes (CLOSE), grey eyes 3 votes, black eyes 8 votes. The overwhelming winner was chocolate brown eyes with 195 votes.
Next weeks poll: What hobby should interest the girl you like the most:
A: giggling over boys
B: admiring house Quidditch team keepers
C: divination (yuck!)
D: admiring master chess players
E: reading
In one final note, the next issue of WOW will be my last as I am getting bombarded with work. I have enjoyed this very much and will begin it again next year if time permits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The next issue will be the last one.
Please review. PLEASE do not be offended by anything you see between the dotted lines, that is Ron speaking. We only write what we believe he would say.
