I highly recommend reading this chapter on my AO3 profile (same username), as the formatting was created for AO3's formatting capabilities, something FFN is very lacking in. I did my best to recreate some sense of it here. Some additional context to help readability:
ronniekins is Ron's display name on Twitter, gingerwanker is his username
P. ✔ is Pansy's display name on Twitter, and the checkmark is to indicate that she's verified; pansyparkinson is her username
The same logic applies to both Hermione's and Harry's profiles.
One of Ron's tweets is just a meme. If you've never seen the meme, and since I can't link to anything on FFN, I recommend Googling "Apollo the gift of prophecy meme"—the first result is the correct one.
❤ shows the number of likes a tweet got; I did not include retweets.

How is this supposed to make them forget you invested a shitload of money into a scam?
P.S: I can't believe you thought the Sorcerer's Celestial Association of Magic was legit. They claimed to make brooms that would take you across the universe! You do know that's not possible, right? You'd die the minute you leave the stratosphere.
P.P.S: Can I go shopping with literally anyone else? Pansy's shampoo gives me a headache.

I'm the head of the company, please show me some respect! And, in any case, I did not personally invest in that company. Adrian thought it was an ingenious idea, and he is the Chief Financial Officer. Who am I to distrust him?
P.S: She's the head of Human Resources, and clothing is part of the resources for the humans. It's her job! She told me that's how all HR departments operate. You will not escape this.

P.S: LOL at Pansy lying to you so you would let her do as much shopping as she wants on the company time and dime. You're not so much the head of the company as its arse, Malfoy.

Weasley,
I'm very busy being the head of the company.
It's not a scam, they're supplements! I bought 10,000 boxes and I need to liquidate them. Please stop spamming me, you have no business acumen. Or you would be head of the company.
Best,

"Hermione, I do not understand how you ever became friends with Malfoy," Ron moaned as he walked into the kitchen.
"I already told you Ron, we're not having this discussion."
"I don't mean… it's not about that. I mean that he's an idiot. He got roped into a multilevel marketing scheme and is now emptying his unsold supply at the cafeteria. That's the second scam in as many weeks!"
She turned from the pan she was busying herself over and stared straight at him, her shoulders slumped. "Oh no, not again…"
"What do you mean again? You mean to tell me you know he falls prey to scams? I repeat my question: how are you friends with him?" He quirked an eyebrow, his woes with Malfoy now long forgotten.
"He's not stupid, Ron, he's just… he's been trying to redeem himself for a long time now," she sighed, the sound of sizzling onions accompanying her voice. "There have been a lot of efforts—trying to learn about Muggles, namely—but it has backfired a few times now. He's renowned for having integrated Muggle technology at the company, so a lot of scummy businesses have been trying to profit from that, and he hasn't been able to say no to a single one—they always make promises, tell him they're working towards a better future for all wizards. He's not stupid, but he's a terrible businessman."
"Colour me shocked," Ron snickered.
Hermione turned around, brows furrowed, and pointed her spatula at him. "It's not funny, Ronald!"
"I mean… it's a little funny. He has his equally incompetent friends run departments they have no business managing, takes their ideas at face value, and never questions anything. He hired me for Merlin's sake! You can't blame me for laughing."
Her face fell and she returned to her dish. "You ran Wizards' Wheezes with George for years, of course it all seems so obvious to you. He's had no guidance… it doesn't come easy to him."
"You are aware that he's a thirty-year-old man and not a wounded puppy, right?"
"You're a thirty-year-old man too, Ronald, and yet you behave like a five-year-old on most days."
Perhaps she had a point.
"Fine."
He watched as she pulled two golden slices of bread out of the toaster, placed them on a plate, and layered them with caramelised onions and cheddar.
"Is that why you're friends with him?" Ron asked as she bit into the sandwich. "Because of his attempts at redemption?"
She chewed on her bite for another few seconds and swallowed. "Yes, pretty much. I was actually his Muggle-relations consultant when he founded the company."
"You never told me!"
"Of course I never told you," she snickered. "You hated the man." She placed the sandwich back on the plate and dusted the crumbs off her fingers. "But I'm glad we can finally talk about it without you going into a rage—maybe one day you'll even let him into our flat while you're here," she smiled.
"Dream on, Hermione. I still can't stand the man."
She picked up her plate and walked out of the kitchen. "Well see," were the last words she hummed before being out of earshot.
Ron didn't protest.

The Seer thing hasn't done much for us as a company, so that is something to consider.
At any rate, I appreciate you coming to me with your concerns—though you've made your feelings about me abundantly clear over time, you've been nothing but professional in your time here.
I'd be glad to keep you on in another role once the storm has passed.

Why did I just hear this press conference is to set me up to take the fall for your complete idiocy? I will absolutely not confess to having "predicted" that SCAM was a good business venture.
Expect my letter of resignation within the day.
P.S: I knew you were a nasty little ferret, but I never expected you to be a rat too.
P.P.S: I better get every cent of my full contract or I'm also reporting your head of HR for being a fraud.
