OWL: To Orla Quirke
Date: 23 April 2005
Characters: Ron Weasley, Orla Quirke
Location: Their respective homes
Status: Private
Summary: Ron decides he's ready to seek help.
Completion: Complete
Talking with Lavender during their picnic Saturday had helped Ron decide that he was ready to talk to someone who was trained to deal with nightmares, memory loss and other head problems. Not that Ron thought he was "sick in the head." He just needed someone to help him figure things out, and for obvious reasons that couldn't be either Hermione or Lavender. He'd not ask Harry, either; his best mate had his own war baggage to deal with. No, Ron realised, he would have to talk to someone who was trained to listen to people. According to Lavender, that meant he should talk to Orla Quirke.
Ron chuckled softly as he wrote the note he would send off with Keeper. He'd met Orla last Tuesday when he ate lunch near the river and enjoyed talking with her; she was, indeed, quirky, but in a good way. Then she showed up the next night at The Loft. She was genuinely nice, he thought, and she had a way of making people feel better about themselves. He remembered how she'd made a point of putting Neville at ease about his misadventures in the rainforest. He was glad, actually, that he'd already met her. He felt comfortable around Orla, and for some reason he felt better about talking to her than to some total stranger.

Hi Orla,
This is Ron Weasley. We met a couple of times last week, first near the river and again at The Loft.
My girlfriend, Lavender Brown, told me that you're a therapist or counselor or whatever. You know what I mean. So I was hoping maybe you could try to help me. Since the war ended I've had some problems with my memory. Also, the past month or so I've been having nightmares that have got worse. I would like to try to remember more and get rid of the nightmares.
I hope you're not too busy with other customers patients clients and that you have time to talk with me.
Thanks,
Ron Weasley
