The “Prequel”
“Oh, Won-Won! How dreadfully sad!” Lavender exclaimed, putting her arms around Ron and squeezing him.
“Well, it was a long time ago, but that’s the sort of thing I’ve always had to put up with from those two,” Ron said, in hopes of getting more than just a sympathetic hug. “I bear up, but that’s the twins for you.”
Lavender had a tear in her eye as she kissed him on the cheek.
Two weeks later, Ron met Lavender in a secluded nook partially obscured by a suit of armour.
“I know it’s a day early, but I just couldn’t wait!” Lavender squealed in excitement. “Open it, Won-Won!”
Ron removed the loose top from the plain pink box. He blinked. A Puffskein. A pink Puffskein.
“Oh, Lavender, it’s . . . it’s . . . it’s . . . it’s a Puffskein. It’s such a surprise. You really shouldn’t have,” Ron said. He looked up to see disappointment on Lavender’s face. How did a girl think a chap would react to a pink Puffskein? “But it’s very pink. And soft. Like you.” He smiled the winning Weasley smile. “It will always remind me of you.”
He was rewarded for the apparently correct response by one of the most heated kisses Lavender had yet bestowed on him.
Note: In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Ron makes a note that he had a Puffskein until one of the twins used it for Bludger practice, which is where my idea for the original drabble came from. Someone on another site wanted to know why he received a pink Puffskein in the first place, and so I wrote this little "prequel" for her.

"But it's very pink. And soft. Like you."
Loves, loves, loves! Well done!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Yep, Wom-Won stumbled into exactly the right thing to say!I'm glad you liked it so well! :)
I want a pink Puffskein too! They sound all soft and fwuffy!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Vewwy soft and fluffy! lol!
Oh priceless! It was in Snape's plate! 
Poor Ron! 
Well, at least he got his puffskin back!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Can you imagine Snape's reaction to a pink Puffskein? And thinking that it was Sybil who put it there? hee!Glad you liked it!
Oh, boy, Ron. Well, he's learning how to handle women at least! Really cute!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Yup, he blundered into the right response! haha!Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
At long last Ron has another pet. Hopefully this one isnt a dark lord minion?!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
That would be funny -- a pink Puffskein would certainly be beneath suspicion! LOLThanks!
hehehe. pink! i myself love pink, but poor ron - it clashes with his hair! ; ) and now i want a scone pink with cherry juice and bits. very giggle-worthy little tidbit.
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Thanks!
Poor Ron. He shouldn't have played the pity card. Now he will have to face the consequences. Nice job.
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Yep, when someone who calls you "Won-Won" takes sympathy for you, watch out! haha!Thanks for the review!
You have nailed Ron's personality and reactions perfectly in this chapter. I can just see his face when he sees the pink puffskein for the first time and then his surprise as receiving a heated kiss. tee hee. Love the story!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Thanks! Very glad you liked it. I hadn't really written much of Ron before this -- except as a nearly-silent sidekick in one scene in An Act of Love and as an almost-as-silent sidekick in a couple very brief scenes in Death's Dominion, so it was actually fun, though challenging, to write him. Thank you for your review!
ROFL! Ron deserves to be laughed at for losing his Valentine's Day gift!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Even if it was an embarrassing gift to begin with! LOL! It's hard to be a big guy when you have a pink Puffskein! *grin*
Glad you liked it!
Poor Ron. I'm almost pitying him. Almost. * evil grin*
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
I feel more sorry for Snape, having to sit next to Trelawney, then thinking she'd put a pink Puffskein on his plate! *shudder* LOL!Glad you liked it!
Bahaha, loved this one! I can just imagine Ron reacting like that!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
LOL! Thanks! (You give a tough challenge! 
)
You have made me laugh & hungry for breakfast!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
A great, big Hogwarts breakfast! Hope it was a good one!
oops, how is he going to talk his way out of that one!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Poor Won-Won!
Oh dear, that puffskein is either very silly or very brave to have found itself on *that* wizards plate!Very nice work :)
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
I like to think that the Puffskeing gravitated to the wizard who needed its love the most. Even if it wasn't welcome! LOL!Thanks!
Poor Ron!!! That must have been some shocker of a present but you have to admit, it is hysterical! I love the way your imagination works. And to have it find its way to Snape....oh yeah...that just made my day!! Youv'e got me rolling on the floor in laughter this morning, first with the Minerva drabble and now this one. It's gonna be a great rainy Monday!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Poor Snape, thinking that Sybil was just trying one more ploy! haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's a very rainy Monday here!
I have seriously fallen off the ball this past year neglecting my fanfiction duties ... and totally missed this little tidbit - FANTASTIC!
Response from MMADfan (Author of Lovesick?)
Glad you enjoyed it! It's one that "dusts off" nicely.
