How NOT To Write A Love Letter.

Here's the oneshot I was taking about...

He looked around, checking for people sneakily spying on him. No, the coast was clear, He grabbed at the book, hurriedly stuffing it into his shopping bag then quickly placing his Quidditch robes on top of it. He grinned to himself, very macho.

Once in the Gryffindor Common Room, he ran up to his dormitory, closed the door, placed a quick locking charm on it and opened his bag. Inside it, he found his Quidditch robes and cast them aside, he wasn't looking for them. He reached his hand into the bag again and drew out a large, golden stained book with a pink tassel running through the middle. On the cover was a large, pure white quill writing in pink ink the words, ' How To Write a Love Letter, by Romeo'. He shook his head, stupid name.

He opened the book to the first page and found yellowing parchment covered in glistening hearts. What in the love of Merlin had he gotten himself into?

But there, on the page appeared the words of the book, so Ron bent down and read what they said.

Welcome to How To Write A Love Letter, DO NOT under ANY circumstances tell your love about this book. It will RUIN the ENTIRE point of it.

1. First pick a suitable candidate for your affections. (Preferably someone who won't rip the letter up into small pieces and tell everyone about it. It also helps if you do actually like them.)

Well, that bit was easy he supposed. He definitely knew of someone he would like to give the letter to. Only problem was, would she rip the letter up into small pieces as the book said and tell everyone about it? He decided not. She wouldn't do that, or so he hoped.

2. Decide what parchment said letter will be written on. Perhaps a love heart background? Or smelling of perfume

This was a little trickier. Did she even like love heart or scented paper? He'd have to ask her. But how could he drop that into casual conversation? He could see it now;

"Yeah, Quidditch was great, shame about us losing. By any chance do you happen to like decorated paper smelling of roses?",

"What are you talking about?",

"Nothing, nothing,"

She'd look at him as though fearful for his health and say, "Okay then, you sure you're okay?."

That really wasn't a good thought, he have to ask her much more subtle way. But how? Sending her a letter asking her would be pointless. First of all she'd know who Pig was and he wasn't going to use a school owl, he'd used enough of them to last him a lifetime. Secondly, he might as well tell her he liked her in that letter, not send her two, he didn't want to seem desperate. This was getting confusing and his head was starting to hurt. He decided he'd worry about it in the morning and go on to the next step.

3. Make sure you have some RED INK at hand as BLACK does NOT look good. Far too GRUBBY. Also now would be the TIME too decide what new writing you will write the letter in or he/she will KNOW it's YOU sending the LETTER. br Please Note: Stencils are enclosed in the back of this book

Wow, he's thought of things I couldn't have done, thought Ron, who knew about the red ink? He also seems to have a strange fixation with capital letters but I'll overlook that. He was contemplating buying some of the red ink needed for the letter at the next Hogsmeade trip, when a noise at the door brought Ron back from this thoughts. He had locked the door and now someone was shouting at him to let them in. He stuffed the book back into his bag which he threw onto the floor and cast a charm towards the door to unlock it.
