Reason 3 of 13

Dear Ron,

You had always been my first love. Never did I know you'd be my last.

We started off as friends in our first year. I can't deny our connection though. I was always too scared to make the first move, especially since I had never dated anyone before.

We were really close in our first year. I was always hanging out with you, Harry and Hermione. You also introduced me to Ginny, Fred and George who I adored. Me and Ginny became really close at one point but a lot happened. That's not for your letter though.

I remembered one night in your common room, I snuck in and we snuggled by the fireplace. I wanted to kiss you so badly that night, but I couldn't make myself go in for it.

We always sent letters to eachother over Christmas. We mentioned what we got as presents and what we had been up to. You asked me if I wanted to go to get butterbeers when we went back to school to which I kindly accepted.

This was my first date, so it had to go well. We went back to school and I prepared for the day we had planned.

I spent an hour getting ready. I was putting on makeup, finding the perfect outfit, straightening my hair and made sure my breath smelled nice. I waited for an hour for you to arrive, but you never did.

When I asked you where you were, your only excuse was
"Oh I got the wrong day, oops"

Thing is, you didn't. Harry told me that you were going to blow me off as you 'couldn't be bothered to go'

Your charm and humour made me forgive you, which was a big mistake. On the very last day of school, you leant in to kiss me. I was so taken aback by the sudden romance but at the same time, felt myself go into the kiss more. My hands went round your shoulders while yours were on my hips.

"Send me letters this summer, I can't wait to start dating you in September"

Those were the last things you said to me before walking over to your family. This made me heart beat so fast; I'd never been so excited before.

Unlike Harry, you sent me weekly letters on what you were doing and asked me about my weeks. I was always telling you how Sirius and Harry were ignoring me. You told me maybe it was a phase but you reassured me, saying it was all going to be ok.

After a long and painful summer, we finally got to go back to school. We first saw eachother on the train where you gave me a massive hug. Hermione was there too and Harry arrived shortly after, not saying a word to me.

When we got to school and we were alone, you pulled me in for a passionate kiss. You smashed your lips against mine, like it was heaven. We both took our lips off eachother and walked into the Great Hall,  holding hands.

"Yeah, me and Lyla are dating now" is what you told people. I was really proud to be your girlfriend. Well, at first I was. It all started off really well.

We went on many dates together, we kissed loads of times, held hands in public and even went the full way. You took my mind off Harry and everything. It was just a relief to find someone apart from Luna and Neville who I could trust.

Trusting you, was probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done.

After blowing me off on 3 dates in a row, I started to get pissed off. I went to go try find you. I looked in the courtyard, the room of requirement, my dorm, I got to your dorm but no one was in there. Then I heard kissing noises coming from the boys room so I stuck my head around the door to find you snogging Hermione.

I stood there in shock. I was debating one whether going in there, shouting at you both, or run off crying. I chose option number 2.

I ran back to my common room. The only person there was Draco Malfoy. He saw me crying and asked me what was wrong so I explained the situation to him. He wrapped him arm around me which I felt slightly uncomfortable with but I didn't say anything.

Not only did you cheat on me with Hermione, I also caught you snogging Lavender Brown behind a corner of the castle. Both Hermione and Lavender were supposed to be my friends, and you were supposed to be my boyfriend.

If you never found out the reason why I broke up with you, well now you do. I still wanted to be friends with you, even after everything, but you started to avoid me. Just like Harry did.

The only times you ever talked to me was to make snappy comments at me like:

"Ugh Lavender tasted good"
"Hermione was better than you"
"I never really liked you"
"We weren't a thing"
"I regret dating you"

You repeated the same comments to me everyday. I got so sick of it so I finally said something.

"Maybe focus on your own life instead of being obsessed with someone else's"

"Who says I was obsessed with your life?"

"The fact you keep bringing up our relationship proves you're not really over it"

And whenever I said that, you would always storm off.

"Why the hell did I ever cheat on her" said Ron to himself while sitting there with tears streaming down his face.

He could hear Harry and Hermione crying outside but he didn't want to interupt so he continued to read the letter.

I trusted you so much, at one point I trusted you more than Harry. You broke it so many times and till had to rub it in my face everyday. You made me loose Hermione and Lavender both in one day.

All I wanted to do was be friendly, but you had other ideas.

"Neville, we are gonna go to Sirius's. We'll be back in time for lunch" Harry told Neville.

When the boys arrived back into the common room, Neville was gone. They looked at their clock and it struck the time 12:00. Lunch and the announcement was in an hour, so they had time to get ready.

Ron, you were my first love. I trusted you, loved you and respected you. Things did change and you ruined my first and only relationship.

I do forgive you and I want you to know that. You didn't treat me farely, and for that you should be sorry. If I could talk to you one more time my only words would be

why

What did Hermione and Lavender have that I didn't? Were they skinnier than me? Prettier? Nicer?

I guess I'll never know. Just promise me one thing, please don't ever cheat on anyone again. You never know what someone is going through.

Have a nice life Ron. I'll miss you.
-Lyla Black

Ron slightly wished his letter was longer, to make him regret more. His face was filled with sorrow, like all the positivity and optimism he used to feel had been sucked out of him. Like a dementor to a soul.

"Ron, lunch starts soon. We better get down there" Harry told Ron. He nodded and they both left the dorms.
