Disclaimer: Okay so I don't own Harry Potter…..I hope to never say that again
A/N: So I thought I was going to updating this story on Tuesday…but then I didn't b/c I was all like…I don't feel like writing and I didn't have the motivation. But I'm doing it now. So that's good. Enjoy the next chapter!

Previously…
I didn't really know where the Hufflepuff common room was, but I did remember were the bathroom was. I randomly said words, hoping to open the portrait. Finally the word 'perfect' opened it. I walked in and set the potion down on the sink. I took my wand and
made a simple note saying I didn't wish to use the potion anymore, and thanking them anyway, before placing it on the main mirror. I turned around with a sigh, but caught my breath as I noticed somebody else in the room with me. "What are you doing her so late in the night Katie?" asked the other occupant of the room. "I could ask you the same question Jane."
"I was just coming in to use the scale. Sometimes I night I have these cravings, so I'll come here admire my weight and then I don't feel the need to eat anymore." She said giving me a sick, twisted smile.
"Er…how nice." I said fidgeting with my hands and biting my lower lip nervously. Jane walked over to me and noticed my bottle sitting on the sink counter. Her eyes narrowed and she picked up the note and bottle.
"Thinking of stopping Katie? Why is that?" she asked looking me dead in the eye. I took in a deep breath and straightened a bit trying to calm down and at least look like I wasn't intimidated.
"Yes Jane I am. I'm going to stop because I look horrible, my friends are suspicious, and there has to be an easier way than this to keep healthy and fit." I said surprising my self when my voice did not waver.
"Oh please, is that it." She said a string of amusement laced into her voice.
"Uh yeah…" I said shifting my wait onto my other foot. What the hell. Those were perfectly good reasons. Right?
"Katie first off your friends don't know what's wrong with you, and won't know what's wrong with you unless you plan on telling them. Which I would highly advise you not to, think of what would happen if you did. Your little crush would kick you off the quidditch team no doubt-"
"Oliver wouldn't do that!" I yelled surprising myself. I never thought of that. Oliver would have every right to kick me off the team. Would he do that?
"Of course he would, you obviously wouldn't be in good health to play."
"That's why I'm going to stop." I said. Her eyes hardened a bit as she looked at me and took a step closer.
"Stop? Stop and then what go back to eating the way you have been? Then get fat once again." I tore my gaze away from hers and crossed my arms over my chest as tears stung the back of my eyes. I wasn't fat back then. I just, I wasn't! Was I? "No Katie you wont do that and just because your doing this doesn't mean you still can't be healthy and fit. You still do quidditch don't you, so that will make your muscles better…or what ever. I have some magnificent pills that could give you all the protein and such you need so your body can keep up with all the work you put it through." She said her blue eyes widening.
"Well…I don't know." I said suddenly reconsidering my decision. I guess what she as saying could work. Taking the potion had let me lose a significant amount of weight that I was only to glad to give up. What would be the problem with just a few more times of using the potion.
"Now about you worrying about your looks, I can also solve that little dilemma you just come in tomorrow during lunch. One of the girls can really do great glamour charms." I looked over at Jane and noticed that she didn't have that same sickly pale skin that she had when I first saw her, but it was a nice even tan. Her brown hair fell just short of her shoulders and it looked soft and wavy. I on the other hand was just the opposite I looked haggard and run down. My hair was now always in a pony tail because when ever it was left down knots would form easily and my hair would become dry and frizzy. "Tomorrow come sit with us over at the Hufflepuff table for breakfast at 7:20 sharp." I nodded my head dumbly and walked out of the room. I was able to get back to my room without getting caught by anyone and silently slipped back into bed. Well that did not go as I planned. I sighed. Damnit.
xXXXx Next Day xXXXx
I woke up to not the sound of my alarm clock but to the racket my stomach was making from hunger. I slowly slipped past the curtains that hung around my bed and walked over to the bathroom. I jumped in the shower letting the warm water run down my body relaxing me. Which was not the best thing to do really for it wasn't waking me up much. I quickly turned the knob on the shower and let a cold blast of water hit me. I squealed and jumped out of the shower. I was awake. I dried myself off with one of the large fluffy red towels, and put on my clothes. I walked out of the bathroom and heard the groans of my room mates as they lazily got out of bed. I looked over at the clock, 7:10. I took in a deep breath and quickly packed my bag and set out to the Great Hall.
"Hey Katie, mind if I walk you to breakfast?" I heard the soft voice of Oliver ask. I didn't turn around as I opened the portrait door but simply nodded my head. I paused once outside and let Oliver walk beside me. It was the most nerve wracking experience to have him walk beside me and having to pretend nothing happened last night and everything was fine. I moved a stray strand of hair that had slipped out of my high ponytail behind my ear and felt Oliver's intense gaze upon me.
"So do you know when our match against the Slytherin's is going to be?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence that was consuming the air around us.
"Not the official date, I know it should be sometime soon. I'm thinking about doing some different plays that you girls could try out and then we could practice the play you came up with." He said to me nonchalantly.
"I'm sure the plays will be good." I said as we neared the Great Hall. My stomach jumped as the site of the huge doors came into site and gulped. Oliver held the door open for me as I stepped into the Great Hall. We walked in a bit but instead of keep straight I turned to the left.
"Uh Katie our tables over here." Oliver said coming up behind me.
"I'm not sitting with you guys today." I said quietly. I tried walking forward but he caught my arm in his hand and turned me around to face him.
"Where are you going to sit then?" he asked puzzled.
"I was going to sit over at the Hufflepuff table." I said.
"So you can sit by who, Diggory?" he questioned his voice cold and hard as he said Cedric's sir name. I raised an eyebrow quizzically at him for using the tone of voice but quickly brushed it off.
"No Oliver." He looked at me confused.
"Then who? What are you going to sit by Jane?" he chuckled and I stiffened slightly and defiantly yanked my arm out of his grip.
"Maybe I am, what are you going to do about it?" I asked raising my chin and staring into his eyes.
"You can't be serious." He said looking down at me in disbelief.
"I am quite serious." I said readjusting the strap of my bag that hung off my shoulder.
"Don't be obscured Katie, now come on. I know how you like your big morning breakfast." He said a grin snaking its way across his features. I bit my tongue to keep on yelling out at him. He always did this. He would always make my decisions for me. Throughout the years he would do this, and I know that he was just trying to look out for me but now it was just getting on my last nerves. Oliver had grabbed my arm once again and held it in his iron clasp grip and was steering me to the Gryffindor table where we usually sat.
"Let me go Oliver!" I told him through clenched teeth as I tried yanking my arm out of his grasp. He just laughed and continued walking. I firmly planted my feet on the ground causing Oliver to look back at me with amusement in his eyes. The look quickly vanished
as I held my wand out at his face. He let go of my arm and I slowly put my wand away finally feeling the eyes of the school on us.
"Team splitting apart Wood." Ground out the disgusting voice of Marcus Flint. The boy was just plain and simple down right ugly. His nose was crooked as were his yellow teeth. He looked me over a revolting smirk on his lips and then walked away glaring at Flint. I turned and started walking over to the Hufflepuff table.
"Your really are going over there, to sit with them" He said. I didn't bother to answer and instead kept walking until I was seated across from Jane and sat by a few of her friends.
"Good morning Katie." She said drinking from her goblet, as some of the other girls did, while others ate and ate.
"Morning" I replied starting to stack food onto my plate. Most of the girls who weren't eating were watching us as we ate, it was kind of weird. I mean if you want to eat then eat. It's not like I was going to stop them. I shook my head and ate my food. There was
no talking, it was silent at the table. Jane handed out our pills and we all took them. I had a few extra on my plate and ate them silently. "What are these for exactly?" I asked Jane.
"I'll tell you at lunch." She said. I nodded my head and grabbed my bag realizing that soon classes would begin. I slung my bag over my shoulder getting up from the table and leaving the Great Hall and heading for my first class. Walking alone.
