Pairings: canon friendly (R/Hr)
Summary: Ron writes a letter to Harry telling him about his summer at The Burrow. And he casually mentions a certain bushy-haired girl. One shot. Set the summer after their sixth year (spoilers for HBP)

It has to mean something

Dear Harry,

How's your summer been so far? Awful, I guess. Stupid question.

Mine's been pretty boring, Mum's just out of her mind about the wedding and she's driving all of us nuts. Believe me if I say you wouldn't want to be here now. Oh, and Ginny is sulking all over the place and she's nastier than she ever was with me (I should blame you for that, though, mate...) but apart from that I've been spending everyday just doing nothing at all and waiting for the pair of you to come over. Bill is doing better by the way, Dad reckons he will be in perfect shape for the wedding, which is in fifteen days, but you already knew that, of course.

I got a letter from Hermione last Wednesday, she's coming to The Burrow tomorrow evening and we'll both go get you next week.I'm kind of worried about her though, I talked to her after the funeral about not coming back to Hogwarts and all and she didn't mention it but I just knew that deep inside she's upset she's not taking her N.E.W.T.S next year. You know her, she's a crazy woman and she needs a hundred Outstanding N.E.W.T.S to show her grandchildren how crazy she truly was. Helping defeat You-Know-Who just won't do.

I still feel like I should say something to her, to comfort her or something, you know. Things have been so weird lately between us that I don't know what to do anymore. I mean, a girl broke up with me because she thought I was snogging Hermione behind her back and when asked about it neither of us denied it, even though it wasn't true? That has to mean something, surely. The point is, we, Hermione and I, never actually talked about what happened afterwards, not that I'm complaining because I don't really fancy talking about, you know, feelings and stuff, but then again I just thought after leaving the Lavender thing behind, things would sort of suddenly happen with Hermione, but up until now I don't reckon things have changed at all between us. Well, maybe a bit but still... I'm starting to think life's just not that easy for folks like me, we have to work our way around.

Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't be writing about this stuff to you, it may make you feel uncomfortable, I, for a fact, would feel uneasy if you talked to me about my sister. I'm not saying you shouldn't talk to me about it if you feel like it, it's just... well, you know what I mean.

So I guess that's pretty much everything, see you in a few days Harry.

P.S. I know we have a hard year coming but the three of us will make it, I'm sure we will. We always have before.

Ron

AN: I know it's really short, I know there's probably misspelled words and even sentences not making much sense since English is not my first language. I know it's not that good and it's quite pointless and the summary sucks, feel free to tell me so, I write for my own reading pleasure so I won't lose sleep over it and it might even help me.
