A.N: Takes place during 5th
year, Hermione is NOT actually fat! It's called a mental disorder *nods*
People just like to gossip about us smart people...
"Did
you see Hermione? I honestly don't know how she can stand herself..."
"I know!
It's like, she doesn't care if she gets overweight..."
"Totally!
Did you see her eat today? It's like she has a botomless stomach!"
"She's
really gotten...well, fat!"
Hemione
blinked, and put down the bun she was munching on. I didn't! I ate as
much as I always do...
She sighed, and looked own
at herself. It was true, she had put on a bit of weight...and all
the other girls seemed to have lost some over the summer...
But...was she getting...fat?
"Herm,
why aren't you eating?" Ron asked his friend, staring at her as if she
was 'nutters', "I thought you liked bicuits..."
"No.
I don't." Hermione replied, looking longingly at the plate of warm, fluffy,
butter-covered...No! No no no! What the girls had said the other
night had struck home. No ammount of denial would work. She was large,
plump, round...there was no way around it. She saw it everytime she looked
in the mirror. Fat! FAT! It screamed at her, in her larger-then-everyone-else's
body. She knew she was bigger then everyone else. She just knew
it.
"Alright..."
Ron said, taking a big bite of what should of been Hermione's breakfast.
The weeks
went by, and as Hermione passed the single mirror in her dorm, she smiled
slightly at herself. Sure, she was pale. Sure, the skin seemed to fall
off her bones. But, she was skinny! She didn't care what the other girls
said now. It was all jealousy. She started walking towards the door, but
she stopped, and looked at herself again.
"Oh..."
She blinked, and stared. She...was...still...fat! She groaned. She still
looked like a baloon, despite her weeks of not eating. No...no! Fine.
I'll be skinny. I've gone this far...
Ron sighed,
and looked at the seat Hermione should have been occupying.
"Hey,
Ron? Pass the catsup?" Harry asked, and seeing his friend's look, added
in a sigh.
"Hm?
Oh, alright." He passed the catsup.
"Ron...maybe
she ate earlier?" Harry suggested, talking about Hermione's absence.
"Maybe."
Ron replied, disbeleivingly.
A/N:
There..I
wrote something. Go me. If you like it enough to want more, go right ahead
and ask...^-^ I'm not holding it hostage, or anything, but if no one likes
it, what's the point of continuing?
