The top ten reasons why the two Weasley children must die

By Hermione Jane Granger

1. Ginny

2. Ron is siding with Ginny

3. Ginny convinced her mother that Harry and I are highly interested in one another

4. Ginny's essay

5. According to Ginny (after I yelled at her for that essay in her dormitory) Ron actually helped her out while Harry and I were busy sitting...NOT CUDDLING...sitting. Apparently it was he who told her about Luna's insane initials idea

6. It appears that Ginny wasn't the only person that Ron told about Luna's initials theory

7. Ron made up some excuse to leave at breakfast, leaving Harry and myself alone at the table, and everyone kept on giving us weird looks

8. Ginny posted her awful essay on the Gryffindor common room's message board

9. Ginny used ever-lasting glue to stick the essay to the board, and every time another paper is placed on top of the essay, it bursts into flames. I should know. My potions homework is currently in ashes.

10. And the number one reason why the Weasleys must die? My "relationship" with Harry is now a National headline.

"Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart."

"GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY, YOU ARE DEAD!" Hermione screamed up the girls' staircase. Fuming, she raced up to the sixth year's dormitory and flung the door open, only to find Ginny sitting on her bed, staring innocently up at Hermione.
"What are you going to accuse me of now?" she asked.

"What in the name of Merlin is on the board downstairs?" Hermione demanded through gritted teeth.

"Well, I'm pretty sure there's still a Quidditch try-out announcement up there, and, of course, Filch's 500 item list of banned objects, and Hogsmeade dates, and I think— "

"Let's try an essay by a certain someone about two people who are not in love with one another!" Hermione raged.

"Oh, that," Ginny said dismissively. "I was just proud of it, is all. Some of my best writing yet. Couldn't help but show it off."

"Everyone is quoting it at me," Hermione cried out in anguish. "Take it down now, before I murder you."

"Well, you're going to have to murder me," Ginny said.

"Why?" Hermione asked, taken aback.

"It's pasted up there with everlasting glue," Ginny grinned. She hopped up from her bed and gave Hermione a small pat on the shoulder. "Have a pleasant day!" And with that, Ginny raced out of sight, leaving a speechless Hermione.

"GINNY!" Hermione's voice boomed throughout the Gryffindor Tower. When Ginny didn't return, Hermione raced down the steps. Breathless and red faced, she ran straight into Harry.

"Whoa, Hermione!" Harry gasped, grabbing her by the arm to steady her. "What did Ginny do now?"

"Did you even look at the message board yet?" Hermione cried, gesturing towards the area where a group of students were whispering frantically.

"I just got up..." Harry explained.

"Look. Now."

Harry shrugged, but did as he was told. Hermione followed in order to see his reaction, and what a reaction it was.
