A/N: Since I don't know how to get strike tags to work on this site, or if it's even possible at all, Ron has to use parenthesis instead. Just imagine the text is striked out.

Mum,

Thanks for the Howler. It was nice hearing from you. The rest of Hogwarts agree.

First of all, I'm not cheating on Hermione. You did raise me better than that. Hermione and me broke up. You were there, remember? Last summer? We sulked and refused to talk to each other for weeks and you thought we were being childish about it? In other words, we are not dating any more and haven't been for a long time. In fact, Hermione is sitting next to me right now and agreeing with what I'm writing very vehemently.

Second, the "hussy" is called Pansy. She's in my year, and she's a prefect, too.

Anyway, sorry this is so short, but I have to (find whoever got Colin's camera working again, and whoever had the bright idea of sending you that picture) do some homework. Harry, Hermione and Neville all say hi. Ginny says to tell you she's definitely not cheating on anyone.

Love,
Ron

PS. Hi Mum, it's Ginny! I just thought I'd add that it's really true I'm not cheating on anyone. And if you ever get the picture (no pun intended!) that I'm doing so, it's probably a trick. Blame Colin Creevey, or Fred and George.

Love,
Ginny
