It's time for Ginny! I wouldn't have this chapter up sooner, but I've been sick and stuck in bed for the last couple days. No, Ginny didn't really get a letter, it was just a trick for Hermione to admit that she fancies Ron.
I own nothing. It all belongs to JKR. I get nothing from this but pure and utter joy.
Chapter Three ::
The Trick
"Hermione?" I asked, sitting on her bed.
"Yes?"
"I got a letter today."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"Can I see it?"
"Well, I was so upset over it... I kind of... set fire to it."
"Oh. What did it say?"
"It was someone unknown proclaiming his love for me."
"Ooh! It's sounds so romantic!"
"So you'd like to get letters like that?"
"Oh yes!"
"It was like he was giving me clues to who he was. What would you think?" I asked, hoping I wasn't giving anything away.
"I'd love it. I'm sure no one would ever write letters to me like that."
"No one? Anyone in mind?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Promise not that laugh, or make a big deal, okay?"
"Sure. Go ahead."
"Ron."
"I KNEW IT!"
"What?"
"I knew you fancied my brother!"
"Yes. I fancy Ron. No. No."
"You don't?"
"No. I love him." She sighed. This was great! She had actually admitted to me that she loved my brother back! Score one for my brother, even though he doesn't know it yet...
"So you do like those kinds of letters?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Thanks." I slinked out the door before she could question me.
