"That stupid purple rock! If it weren't an inanimate object id kill it! My hand really bloody hurts!" Josephine grumbled to herself the next morning while we were getting dressed. I wore the 'emergency bra, and instead of the bun I had been wearing for the past year, I went with a pony tail. I was taking baby steps.

"I'm sorry, I should have warned you about that." I said quietly, forcing my foot into my black high top.

"Why didn't it burn you?"

"Because I used the strap to move it and because I'm the protector it doesn't burn me as bad."

"Yeah yeah yeah, still looks like a gaudy piece of junk u bought at a garage sale." She said, glaring at the amulet which I was now stuffing into my pillowcase.

With that we finally departed for breakfast, me carrying both hers, and my satchel since her hand was hurting to badly. We arrived and sat down near our friends, and I looked up over to the Slytherin table. I frowned when I didn't see Draco there.

"Don't worry, you can talk to him at lunch, or in transfiguration!" she whispered into my ear as she dug into her grapefruit.

I sat there, not really in the mood to eat anything, when a grapefruit was shoved in front of me.

"You have to eat something, might as well be this. And besides, as a bonus it can help u start a new diet."

"Do I need to go on a diet?" I asked, looking down, frowning when I saw a little roll.

"We all could use a diet, and you can never be too thin!" she said, taking another bite of her grapefruit.

I looked back down and bit my lip, fat girls don't get their boyfriends back! I took a fork and pulled a piece of grapefruit out, and bit into it. My cheeks hurt from the tart flavor. But i couldn't not eat it, I couldn't believe I had started to let myself go.

The past year I had decided to focus on weight loss and toning and exercising, it was calming, to have something else to focus on.

HARRY'S POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing; I was gripping my fork so tightly I was amazed it didn't break. Rose didn't need to diet, she was too frail already! She was pale, small, and didn't look right at all. And her supposed best friend was encouraging her to lose more?

She barely ate when she was at the order last year, and all of last year either. This wasn't right, we weren't that great of friends, but she was my friend and this was insane, id have to tell Hermione. She would know what to do.

"The lengths girls will go." Hermione said to herself, looking over at Rose and Josephine disapprovingly.

"Don't be so judgmental Hermione." I snapped.

"What?"

"Cant you see something is wrong with her? When was the last time you have seen her eating?"

She bit her lip and looked over at Rose and sighed, then leaned in towards me.

"I think she has an eating disorder."

"No shit." I mumbled.

"Really! She barely eats, and when she does, well, ive seen her running around the quidditch field." She said quietly.

"This is bad." i said, and I wondered, why would she be acting like this all of a sudden?

ROSE POV

Breakfast went by quick, as did most of my classes. I was walking to Lunch when I heard somebody having a coughing fit. I slowly walked over, and saw Draco, hunched over and leaning against the wall for support.

"Draco!" I cried out as I ran over to him.

"Rose." He coughed out.

He regained his balance and stopped coughing, then stood straight to look at me. his eyes widened in shock. I knew I looked bad, and had put on a couple pounds, but he really didn't need to stare like that. I shifted uncomfortably.

"Are you ok?" I finally brought myself to ask quietly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I gotta go." He said, trying to move past me. but I grabbed his arm.

"Please, please Draco, don't leave me! I hate that you've been ignoring me, avoiding me! I thought you loved me!" I said pathetically, I was staring at him with wide, terrified eyes.

He sighed, and looked around, before walking over and enveloping me in a tight hug.

"I won't leave you."

"Thank you Draco. But why have you been avoiding me?"

"Because, I've been busy. And it's best not to raise suspicion."

"I understand." I said, my voice muffled since I had buried my face in his shirt like a little child.

"Come with me." he grabbed my hand and led me down the corridor and to a random door. He opened it and led me through. Inside was a room painted a forest green, with a black couch and loveseat, the floor had white shag carpeting and there were pillows all over.

"What is this?" I asked, stepping in and looking around, taking in all the other little details.

"It's the room of requirements." He said simply, walking over to the couch and laying down.

I looked over and was stunned. He didn't look well at all, he had dark circles under his eyes, he was pale as a ghost, his hair disheveled, and he just looked so tired.

I walked over and sat down and cupped his face in my hand, using my thumb to massage his cheek. I felt heartbroken seeing him like this.

"What have you been doing Draco." I said quietly, with no answer. I looked at his face and saw his eyes closed, he was barely breathing, and he looked entirely peaceful. I smiled and stood up, grabbing a black blanket that had been lying on the loveseat and draped it over him, and sat in said loveseat, and began to think.

Yay! Some may have questions, I decided that rose needed to be more, human, she was seeming way to Mary sue for me. She needs to fall down and stumble a bit before she can grow. Now PLEASE REVIEW!
