Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter.
Sick
Chapter One- I'm Not Hungry
"Hey, 'Mione," Ginny Weasley said as her best friend when she say that she had woken up.
Both girls were in there 7th year of Hogwarts, along with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. Harry, along with Ron and Hermione, had gotten rid of Voldemort once and for all last year, skipping there last year at school. Ginny had completed her 6th year, so this year they were in the same year and all the same classes.
"Hey, Gin," the older girl replied. Ginny had noticed that she had been acting weird lately, and would often ask about it, but Hermione would gust say, 'I'm fine.'
Hermione got up and said, "I'm gonna take a shower, is that okay?"
"Yea," said Ginny. "I already took one, I've been up for a while." Hermione nodded in reply, and went into the bathroom.
It was Saturday, so Ginny didn't have to wear her uniform to day. She picked out a black shirt and a pair of jeans and sneakers and started getting ready.
When Hermione got out of the shower, she put on a pair of jeans, a red shirt and flats. Both girls brushed their hair and teeth and were about to go downstairs when Hermione asked Ginny, "do you think this shirt makes me look fat?"
Ginny was surprised by this question. She thought that Hermione was perfect, not to skinny, not chubby, and she told her this. She wondered why Hermione would ask that. She just forgot about it as they went down to breakfast, she was starving.
When they got there, Harry and Ron were already waiting for them, and had started eating already. Hermione sat next to Ron, and Ginny next to Harry. Ginny immediately reached for the closest thing to her, and started eating. Hermione just sat there, looking at the food as if the thought of eating made her sick. She just started writing a Charms essay that wasn't due until next week.
"Aren't you hungry, 'Mione?" Ron asked her.
She looked up and said, "No, I'm fine." She smiled, "Besides, I really need to do this essay."
"But it's not due until next week!" Harry replied. "Come on, you need to eat something."
"No, really, I'm fine." She tried to reassure her friends.
"You're not doing that whole SPEW thing again, are you?" Ron asked
"No, Ron." She sighed. "If I'm hungry later, I'll just go down to the kitchen and get something, okay?"
After that they stopped bugging her. Ron and Harry were talking about Quidditch, and Hermione still doing her essay. Ginny just kept eating, although she was still thinking about how Hermione was acting, and she was worried.
For the next couple of days, Hermione continued to not eat, always saying that she had already eaten. Ginny noticed that she was always looking in the mirror and asking if she looked fat. She always got the same answer, but it seamed like Hermione never believed her.
One day when she refused to eat again, Ginny said, "What is going on with you, Hermione?"
All three of her friends stared at her.
"What are you talking about, Gin?" she replied
"What the hell am I talking about? Why the hell aren't you eating?"
She just sighed. "I told you, I'm not hungry, and I already ate."
"Stop feeding us this bull shit!" she said. "You aren't eating, and I want to know why!"
"Ginny, calm down. She said she already ate. You don't need to get all worked up about it." Harry said to her.
"Well I don't believe her." Ginny said. "I want to see her eat something."
"Ginny, I'm really not hungry," said Hermione, starting to get nervous.
"It's not going to be that much." Ginny said. "Please just eat a piece of toast, and I'll leave you alone." She was starting to calm down a little. "I'm really worried about you."
"Thanks, but you don't need to worry about me," she smiled at her best friend. "If it'll make you feel better, I'll eat the toast." Even as she said this, you could tell that the idea of eating was sickening to her.
She picked up the toast, and looked at it for about a minute. After a while, started to nibble on it. When she was done she said, "Do you fell better now?"
"Yes, thank you." Ginny replied, but she was still worried by the look on her face when she was eating.
"Well," said Hermione, "I should go finish that essay Slughorn assigned," she said and ran out of the great hall.
"See, Gin," said Ron, "there's nothing to worry about."
Ginny smiled at her brother and Harry, but couldn't stop thinking about how Hermione looked when eating the toast. Something was wrong with Hermione she knew there was.
