A/N: No, I don't own anything, this is not my doing. Due to popular demand, I was graciously allowed to print this letter, as well as the previous one. I take no responsibility for the contents of the letters, I just type them up and post them.

Wotcher, Jo!

Hope things are going well with you. I know Harry wrote you a while back about some of our concerns with the whole fan fiction phenomenon, but since we haven't heard back, I thought I'd bung you an owl as well.

I've been reading some of the stuff people are coming up with lately (yes, I know you told us not to,) and they have raised some good questions, theories and scenarios about the future. With this in mind, I'd like to make a few suggestions for the next book.

First and foremost is the matter of Fudge as Minister of Magic. Now, I know he's been discredited and so will likely resign (or get kicked out if I have anything to say about it), which means you'll be looking for a new Minister soon. Dumbledore'd obviously be the first choice, but I don't think he's too keen on the idea, which leaves you in a bit of a pinch. So I propose making my dad Minister. He's got the experience, the know how and the brains to be a good one. Besides, the look on Malfoy's face when he found out would be priceless.

Second, the matter of me betraying Harry, Hermione, et al, and/or becoming a Death Eater. At first I thought it was just a couple of loonies out there who thought I was that much of a wanker, but it's been a very popular train of thought lately, (especially with fan fic,) and it's starting to worry me. I hope you realize this whole "going to the dark side" line of thought is complete bollox and I would never, ever do anything to hurt Harry or Hermione. . .right?

Speaking of Hermione. . . what's going on there? I mean, I've been seeing a lot of rot lately with Hermione and Harry, Hermione and Malfoy, Hermione and Krum, Hermione and Snape (that was enough to put me off my lunch) and even Hermione and Padma Patil from Ravenclaw, though she laughed her head off at me when I mentioned that one to her. When we talked a while ago, you told me she thought I was a fit bloke and it was only a matter of time before. . .you know. What's going on? Does she still. . . y'know. . . yeah. I think it would be appreciated all around if that was clarified once and for all.

By the way, thanks a bunch for getting me onto the Quidditch team and making me prefect and all. I do appreciate the note of confidence in my abilities. You know, Head Boy isn't all that out of line for a Weasley man, even if the last one made a complete botch of the notoriety. If nothing else I'd like to leave the school a good lasting impression of the Weasley name, and Gin (being female and all) has no chance of being Head Boy. Just a thought.

Oh, and finally, I would like to make it absolutely clear I don't want to be offed. Lots of people have this theory I am going to either sacrifice myself nobly or else some Death Eater is going to track me down and do me in. (There was a brilliant essay I saw about how that chess game from first year was foreshadowing about the whole war. Amazing what they come up with, no?) While the whole self sacrificing thing wouldn't be as bad as the being mowed down bit, I still am bloody well certain I'd rather live through this, thanks. I don't care if you've already penned Malfoy, Bellatrix Black and Snake Boy appearing by my bedside in tutus, you can just retract that right now. I'm planning on watching the Cannons win at least five Quidditch Cups, and you can imagine how long that'll take.

Look, I know your probably a touch busy, what with the baby and the new book, so I'll leave you with these to mull over for a bit. You know if you're ever at a loss for ideas, you can always floo me.

Love,

Ron
