Open Letter of Formal Apology

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

Attention Classmates:

I, Ron Weasley, wish to formally apologize to any student, Hufflepuff or otherwise, who might have been offended by my remark in Terry's sorting. The sortee described how he insulted the wonderful Hufflepuff house by calling them 'Bubble-Heads'. I stated in response, in full disapproval, "Why would you go after the Hufflepuffs? Insulting a Hufflepuff is like kicking a legless bunny." Many Hufflepuffs took insult with this comment, believing that what I meant was that they were weak like a handicapped rabbit.

THIS IS NOT TRUE.

I meant to say that Hufflepuffs are as lovable as legless bunnies. Case in point:



Look at the bunny. Don't you just want to hug it? And pet it? Don't you just love it?

So do I. And that was what I meant with my comment, that Hufflepuffs are lovable and a man would be nuts to insult a Hufflepuff, much as he would be nuts to kick a legless bunny. Furthermore, I certainly do not hold the view that Hufflepuffs are weak, evidenced by the fact that I'm bloody terrified right now.

I apologize if you were insulted, and I especially apologize to the girl in the box. I meant no offense. Go Hufflepuffs!

Really sincerely,

(The Real) Ron Weasley

Stephen reaches down to stroke the little rabbit's nose, a gesture he has seen wild rabbits confer upon one another as a mark of polite affection. "I doubt I have with me any of the books the younger midshipmen used (http://www.bartleby.com/221/1611.html), which is likely just as well; full of cant and pabulum they were. River and I shall try to find you something suitable in Hogsmeade, or in the library."

Fillerbunny isn't really familiar with the body language and gestures of normal rabbits, but the instincts for them are still buried deep in his lapine hindbrain, and he nuzzles Stephen's hand in return. "Thank you, Doctor Stephen! I am sure that you and Miss River will find something very useful indeed."

"We shall do our best. Now, would you care to hear me finish playing for the geranium?" Stephen returns to the cello.

Fillerbunny nods. "Yes please." Content, he leans against Mister Bignose's flank to listen to the music.
