Title:Elements
Rating:PG
Fandom:Harry Potter
Character:Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger
Author's Notes:Set during Hermione's sixth year, stuck in the middle of Ron's relationship with Lavender.
Summary:There are certain…elements that you should look for in a girl, Ron. She should be smart, sophisticated, talented, pretty, but looks shouldn’t be the only thing you care about. Have you ever held an actual conversation with Lavender? I didn’t think so.
To Ron,
I can’t believe you are putting me through this. What do you suppose me to be, a puppet? A doll, inhuman, unable to feel the emotion you’ve planted me in since first year?
Maybe I’m reaching above your head, Ronald. I’ll put my thoughts into words capable of your understanding: I quit. I fail. I lose.
But, truly, couldn’t you have at least warned me before going off to snog that…that…I don’t even know what to call her! Lavender isn’t right for you-she’s a…well, let me put it this way. There are certain…elements that you should look for in a girl, Ron. She should be smart, sophisticated, talented, pretty, but looks shouldn’t be the only thing you care about. Have you ever held an actual conversation with Lavender? I didn’t think so.
Me, on the other hand-we’ve held dozens of conversations. I’m the smartest in our class, I won’t be modest. Who is the girl who has done almost all of your homework for the past six years? Who is the girl who has gotten you out of all sorts of tight spots (without me, you wouldn’t even still be here!) Who is the girl who’s visited you every summer because she doesn’t want to say goodbye for three long months?
Me, Ron. Me. I could look at the different elements I might look for in a man. He should be the same-handsome, intelligent, caring. Now, Ron, not to be prudish, but as far as I can tell, you are none of those things. So why is it that it makes me so angry that you’re with her and not me?
Forget it. This is a letter that isn’t meant to be sent. Tomorrow will be the same as it always is-I’ll wake up to see you two snogging before breakfast, see your eyes shoot jinxes at me for some reason I can’t understand. Yesterday it was because you heard that I kissed Viktor Krum before you. What will it be tomorrow? What will I do wrong now?
I’ve given up on you, Ron. You don’t have any of the elements in you that I’m looking for.
Sincerely,
Hermione Granger
P.S. I didn’t kiss Viktor Krum. I’ve never kissed anyone. I thought you should learn the full truth before deciding to spend a day out of your way trying to hurt me.
