I love love love your Hermione in this! Thoroughly satisfying so far.

Well now that is quite a blunt way to get his attention. Maybe he should be plying her with food instead of alcohol.  It will obiviously go straight to her head and then lord knows what can happen.  And who is the ghost?  Well done. Irish

That was awesome...Please update soon!

This story is freaking sweet.  I can't wait to see what happens next.  I really think the Hermione in this story is more realistic than others - down to earth, practical, and sarcastic.  With that, Snape, and a bottle of Ogden's, what more does one need?

I loved it! I never read a story where everyone hates Ron so blatently... LOVED IT! Can you recommend any others?

Eek. Poor Hermione. Not envying her for that wake thing!Very funny though. Molly would do anything for her angelic, innocent, wonderful son, wouldn't she? It's so good to see Harry and Hermione's kids firmly on her side.Doesn't sound like Snape, whenever he turns up, would have much reason to grieve the late Mr Weasley either...

Oh yes, this seccond chapter confirms it; I am going to sooo love this story:-) The quality in Ron-bashing is so superb, and Hermiones reaction so brilliant, I know this is a story I will read more than one time! Update again soon!!!

You were right. I definitely did more snickering. Poor Hermione and family having to feign sadness.

The Aurors should have been hexed.  And so should Molly.  Actually, I may include Harry in that soon.  But this is still kind of fun. 

::GRINS:: Can't wait to find out more of Just Why Ron Was A Prat.  And poor Severus!  Menial labor? Hope not for a man of his intellect.

That made me snicker. Can't wait to read more!~Emily

I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and this one is just perfect. Thank you.

excellent job! =)) thanks for writing this!

excellent job! =)) thanks for writing this!

How fun!

A perfect ending to a perfect tale!  You've got talent, my dear.  I've been reading quite a bit of your writing posted here at TPP, and I've loved each and every one of them!Thank you for entertaining us so well.Beth

This is a rip roaringly funny chapter.  Sore muscles, aching backs, scientifically requisitioned cadavers, the family of Norton McAfee, Ron's empty mausoleum, and "those shit for brains dunderheads"!!!  And Snape likes Hermione!  This is Bloody Brilliant!Beth

Hermione's description of Ron's faithfulness was perfect:"You know, Severus, he was more faithful than I was. Did you know, I did the maths one day?" ... "He was faithful to forty-seven different women! Believe me, he was getting his fancy tickled quite frequently. That's quite a feat, you know. I was only faithful to him."And her telling Snape about her school fantasies was a spot of sweet seduction:"Now, let me tell you about my lascivious schoolgirl fantasies I used to entertain about you whilst Ron was out entertaining his forty-seven loves."  And tell him she did!!!  In spades!!!Great read!Beth

Oooh!  Snape is back!  I love it!  And I love his job title:"For your information, I am also the Executive Vice President for Excavation and Exhumation at this particular facility. I don't just sweep up."And they are going to spend the night in the prat's mausoleum with a bottle of Ogden's Worst.  "...together the two of them adjourned to the relative comforts of Ron's mausoleum, the pallet, and a bottle of Ogden's Worst."  I love that, too.  Snape will take good care of her no matter what will be roaming about the graveyard tonight.A fabulous read. Thanks,Beth

I'm confused about a couple of things.  In the second paragraph, Harry says that Ron was Wife to Hermione. I'm assuming you meant Husband to her.  And later on, it sounded to me like the prostitute that Ron was with at his death was a male.  Did I read that right or wrong?Now for Hermione's grit.  She is really doing a spectacular job of playing the grieving widow all for Molly's benefit.  I'm not sure that I could have done that well for the prat and the prat's mother.I really like this story!  Good job!Beth

Well, Ron certainly didn't earn any good points with his family.  I always thought he was a prat, but he must have done some horrendously horrendous stuff.  A bonfire, no less!  Good story!Beth

Ya see! I was partly right.  That damn George R.R. Martin did steal the sex in the mausoleum from someone else! Great ending! 

Moving along quite nicely here.  I'm certain that Game of Thrones sex at the wake scene was inspired by this story. Well, I know the books were written before this story but it sounded nice. It's the thought. 

I've always been especially fond of "the gloaming". It's very disappointing to so seldom see it in writing and terrible that I've never had the opportunity to use it in a conversation. Thank you for that.  
Now, on the other hand, why would Hermione Granger be frightened enough of a ghost to actually have a swoon? 

Funny way for Ronnikins to die!
