The knife glistened in the hand. Once again she was sat on her bed staring at the knife. Her roommate unware of her struggles as they where all asleep. Dreaming of happy thing like boys and love and what they would to their wedding. None knew that she was in pain. Every one knew she was a loner but no one questioned why. No one ask why she stopped talking to her best friend's why she withdrew from normal society. In class she still new all the answers, but only raise her hand when ask. People wondered of course but the transaction happened so slowly first of all she spend a hour or more in the library and missed the occasional quddicth match. Nobody thought this odd as she had always love knowledge and learning it was part of who she was. The knife grazed her skin just enough to make her leg bleed. This allowed her a moment of release know body knew she done this of course. It was just her way of releasing pain. She told herself that this would be the last time and that she could stop. She would never cut deep someone might find out. Hermione placed the knife back in her draw and lay down thinking at least know she could get some sleep.
The next morning the Hogwarts ground was quiet mist rolled around the castle as the entire school was sleeping soundly. I should say most of the school was sleeping soundly Hermione awoke around four in the morning no longer able to sleep she put on her sweat's and decided to go for a morning run. As it was only half five she knew she had plenty of time before anyone would be up so nobody would notice if she was gone.
After about half hour of running around the lake Hermione decide she would take a slight detour of the forest. Although the forbidden forest contains many evil creature Hermione knew where there was safe to go and where was not. As a friend of Harry potter, who could not? After another half hour of running her muscles where seizing up, her arms where cold as there was so much frost in the forest and the air was bitter cold Hermione decided to stop. Hermione took a look around at her surround and noticed she had gone to far into the wood. Looking around quickly she turned to make her way out of the forest. Suddenly her stomach gave a loud grumble as she realized she hadn't eaten since yesterday's lunch and she had been running for over an hour. Reside to this fate Hermione started to walk until she tripped. The fall wasn't that bad but as she fell, the cut she made the night before reopen she cursed as she was wearing light blue trousers. The blood was pouring down her leg and could clearly be seen through trousers. Hermione had left her wand back in the common room, and so could not vanish the stains until she was back in the common room. she just hoped nobody would see her before she got there. Unfortunately luck was not on her side.
"Miss Granger what do you think you are doing out in the forest at this time in the morning. Fifty points from Gryffindor." Severus Snape emerged from the entrance hall of Hogwarts looking more irritated then usual. Hermione turned her face from the potions professor. "Sorry sir I ahh." Severus head snapped up as Hermione fell forward. In one swift motion Severus caught Hermione it was then that he noticed the blood on her legs. Quickly he place her on the floor so he could retrieve his wand and examine what was wrong with Miss Granger. As soon as a light red light was showed over her wound Severus pick her up and whispered something to the closest picture and entered a room. The room was a large spacious room with a wall covered by a book shelves and on another side a large fire. What caught Hermione eye however was a large plasma tv covered in a light crystal film. Severus placed Hermione on a large black couch. Severus quickly reach for a vial of the shelf above the fire. "Drink this miss granger it will easy the pain." Not knowing what else to do Hermione carefully took the bottle from Severus hand and drunk the dink. Hermione was shaking. Being in the room with Severus snape was not what any student wanted to be. Hermione was to busy wondering what severus would say that she didn't hear him begin.
"Miss granger. I know I am not the easiest man to talk to but I feel that you do need to talk to someone." Oh god he know was all she was thinking however she very shakily managed to reply. " I'm sorry sir I do not know what you are talking about. I fell over and manage to catch my leg it was stupid of me but in truly didn't mean it. Severus than kneeled down so he was facing Hermione he gently placed a hand under her chin so she was looking him in the eye. "Please don't do this to yourself Hermione." His voice was nothing like he used in class. It was soft and calming his eyes stared into her and for the first time in her life Hermione granger saw severus snape. His eyes were pleading to her to open up to him. His dark eyes were glistening with understanding, Pain hurt and fear. She couldn't place the fear but knew he was scared. "I'm sorry." She whispered softly and burst into tear not the type of tears that you cry normally the heart breaking tears when you can't cope any more her body was shaking and the tears was gliding down her face unable to control them. Severus embraced her as she cried and whispered soothing word into her ear. Soon Hermione fell asleep in Severus arms.
