Title: Don't get mad, but...
Rating: PG (Just to be safe)
Word Count: 1,112
Warnings (if any): Some bad grammar, its on purpose though since its an eleven year old Ron writing.
Summary: Ron is closer to his mum then most people think.
Mum,
I wasn’t sure if McGonagall would write and tell you, so I figured I should just do it myself and get it over with since I know you’ll find out sooner or later. And this way you can’t get mad at me for not telling you, which is something I suppose. Really though you shouldn’t be angry at all because we were only doing it to save Hermione in. But I suppose she wouldn’t have needed saving if I had just been nicer to her to begin with.
You see, it’s like this. I may or may not have got into a fight with a mountain troll yesterday. It’s not as bad as it sounds though, really. I mean we didn’t even get hurt. Harry stuck his wand up the troll’s nose, and I knocked it out with its club. So you see, no harm done really. And we saved Hermione which is you know, a good thing.
I’m okay though, so there’s really no need to fly off the handle about it. We didn’t even get detention.
Love,
Ron.
PS. Harry mentioned the other day that he’s not expecting anything for Christmas. I don’t think he likes his family very much. I know it’s just been Halloween but I thought I’d mention it. So you could maybe, you know, do something for Harry for Christmas?
PPS. I love you.
PPPS. It was actually pretty scary. The troll I mean.
Mum,
Happy Christmas! I’m sorry we didn’t come home this year, but Harry... ya’know. But you were probably happier to see Charlie anyways, I know you miss him. Harry was really pleased with his sweater and fudge. I liked mine too, it was great. Christmas at Hogwarts is amazing! You should see all the decorations, and the food! It’s not as good as yours though.
Guess what mum? Harry got an invisibility cloak! The note said it belonged to his dad, and I reckon he’s never owned anything of his dad’s before because he was really pleased. We used it last night so Harry could show me this mirror he had found. It’s a really odd mirror mum; it doesn’t show you you’re reflection. It showed Harry his parents, and can you believe he’s never seen them before? He didn’t even know what they looked like!
It didn’t show me our family though mum. When I looked in the mirror it showed me as Head Boy like Bill, and Quidditch Captain like Charlie. I know it can’t be the future since Harry’s parents are dead, but do you think it’s possible? I know I’m not as smart as Bill (or Hermione, but really nobody is as smart as she is), or as good at quidditch as Charlie. It’ll probably never happen, but it would be nice. Maybe they’d be proud of me, look up to me for once?
Love,
Ron.
PS. Did you like my present? I made it myself.
PPS. Do you think Hermione liked her present? It was probably a stupid idea, she probably liked Harry’s present better.
PPPS. I love you.
Mum,
Fred and George would probably tell me I’m mad for telling you this if they knew, and I probably am. But really you should keep in mind that we were only trying to help a friend. Well on second thought that might not help since that’s we were doing with the troll, and I know how you felt about that.
It’s about Hagrid. Well actually it’s about his dragon. Don’t worry though mum, it was only a baby dragon. So it’s not that bad really. It was actually pretty cool, we got to see it hatch and everything! Hermione wouldn’t let us skip class to go watch though, so we were only there for the end. I know what you’re thinking mum, but don’t worry. We convinced Hagrid to get rid of it.
It took a while though, Hagrid’s pretty attached to Norbert. He’s gone mad if you ask me, he even gave Norbert a teddy bear, a teddy bear mum! I wrote to Charlie and he got some of his friends to pick Norbert up. Harry and Hermione had to sneak it up to them after curfew, I was supposed to go with them but the stupid thing bit me. I think it was poisonous too because by the time I went to the hospital wing my hand looked like it was about to fall off.
Love,
Ron.
PS. Don’t worry, Madame Pomfrey fixed my hand, its good as new now. Don’t mention it to anyone though okay? I told her a dog bit me, I’m not sure she believed me though, because we don’t want Hagrid to get in trouble.
PPS. Do you think Charlie was impressed?
PPPS. I love you.
Mum,
You’re going to be furious with me once you get this letter. I reckon you probably already know, Dumbledore probably wrote to you. But in case this reaches you first you should keep in mind that this wasn’t me being stupid, or reckless, or looking for adventure. I was just trying to do the right thing, I was doing what you and dad would have done.
You see, it’s about the Philosopher’s Stone. It was at Hogwarts this year. Harry, Hermione, and me found out about it. That’s not all though mum, and maybe you should sit down for this. It’s about You-Know-Who. He tried to steal the stone. We couldn’t let him do it mum. You’ve always said we should stand up for what is right, and that’s what I did. So I hope you understand.
Besides, I couldn’t let Harry and Hermione go alone. They’re my best friends, and I’ll stick by them even if it does mean facing You-Know-Who. We tried to tell Dumbledore, but he had left Hogwarts to go to the Ministry for a meeting or something and McGonagall didn’t believe us. It was scary mum; I thought we weren’t going to make it. There was a giant chess set that we had to play, and I had to sacrifice myself so Harry and Hermione could go on and save the stone.
I had no choice; it was the only way to get to the stone in time. I thought I would never get to go home again, I was scared mum. But I did it anyways and I think I was pretty brave. Don’t anyone, Fred and George especially, that I said any of that though.
I’ll be home in a few days and I can’t wait to see you and tell you everything. Just try not to get to mad okay?
I love you,
Ron.
