This fic is dedicated to Linda, who has always been there for me, and helped me out of countless situations, keep reading, it puts the dragon to sleep.
This fic is also dedicated to the relentless LRC staff, keep smiling, I'm never going to forget you guys, continue to discover the magic in mugglenet - there are some things teachers can't teach you…
None of the (Magical) characters are my own they belong to JKR. The school is based on my own, as are some of the teachers (names changed).
Chapter 3: Doing the impossible
Wow. He got the message - but he had a point, how can we get in touch with her?
"Well, we won't be on the floo network. How did you get here? Knight bus?"
"Yeah, Pig's at Hogwarts, and why can't we wait until I go back?"
"Because I know you Ronald Weasley, if you can put something off, you will, is that why you never asked her to the Yule Ball?" I grinned at the look on his face, I'd got it in one. "ok - you can wait until you go back, but I want an owl, keeping me up to date."
"You wanna keep in touch?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"I thought that - well I'm in 7th year, won't it spoil the next book?" It seemed that he was now used to the fact that he was in a book."
"No, this will go down, as a fanfic."
"What's a fanfic?"
Oh God, why did I say that?
"They're stories, written about the characters, by fans." She had obviously explained this to many people, but she was dreading how I would take it, her voice was shaking. My mind had gone numb when the message sank in, I thought 7 books were scary, now I find out that fans write their own.
"Have you ever…?"
"Yes. None of it is real. I'm sorry Ron, I have written countless tragadies."
"You kill us all?"
"Not always, but mostly I write romantic tragadies." I had to admit it, I was growing curious, but I didn't know how I would cope with reading them.
"What ship?"
"You and Hermione." She had killed me, or Hermione, or both of us. I was seeing her in a whole new light, but I still wanted to read them, see how good she was.
"Can I see?"
"If you're sure you want to. Just so you know, a lot of reviewers cried, you might." Beckoning me to follow her she led me to the library. Waving at Miss Williams, she dragged me over to a row of computers. I looked over her shoulder at her typing at an alarming speed, she looked at me.
"Which one do you wanna read?"
"Erm…"
"That one - 3 chapters, Hermione's POV…" I had no idea what she was on about, "one of my better ones." She scanned the list of blue type on the screen, "Most of the others are your POV for some reason, but they're all one-shots. This one." She pointed at the screen, "Is the only non-romantic one I've ever written." None of it made any sense to me
"The first one you mentioned." She took a deep breath, she was scared, I don't know what of but she was scared.
"Ok," she clicked on something and let me sit down.
I watched him reading, he was a slow reader, but he ploughed on regardless. By the time he reached the end of chapter one he was laughing, he didn't say a word until he reached the end of chapter 2.
"You killed me off." He muttered in a slightly hurt voice.
"I'm sorry Ron, I didn't know I was going to meet you when I wrote it." He continued to read, by the end of chapter 3 he was smiling through his tears.
"How did you know that?"
"What?"
"That I like the name Alex, and that it reminds me of Hermione."
"I guessed, I know a lot of Alex's, all of which house a scary amount of intelligence, hence the link to Hermione."
All too soon I had to go back to Hogwarts. It had been an amazing week, and to be honest I was sorry to go back to Hogwarts. Jess stood by the gate, the sky reflecting in her eyes, she pulled me into a hug, tears forming on her eyelashes. She had shown me a world which was completely new to me, that had implanted itself into the hearts of 86 million muggles worldwide. She had shown me that I was someone - I am Ron Weasley, nothing can change that, my life was made for living - so I'll go back and live it. Jess had been brilliant, I'll miss her, she really is a person to remember. We pulled apart, she grinned a tearstained smile, her braces glinting in the afternoon sun.
"Remember Ron, tell her, she deserves to know the truth."
I nodded, turned to walk away and concentrated on Hogsmeade, I turned to wave and she was gone, I was standing in front of the three broomsticks, smiling to myself I walked back to the castle.
I never told Abi about meeting Ron, she did ask about him (she had been on holiday or she would've signed up too). I just told her that he was your average guy, smelly and annoying. About a week after Ron had left I received an own in the evening.
Jess -
I told her, you were right…
Ron.
I smiled to myself, I'll let the other shippers find out for themselves in their own way. I grabbed a pen and my fanfiction notebook and began to scribble.
a/n: This isn't a true story, just so that the gullible know
a/n: This is it - the last chapter, hope you enjoyed, thanks for the lack of reviews, I hope my next fic does better... Oh yes, you will be seeing more of Jessica in future fics - she is a fully developed character and I love her to bits...
