*Dudes and dudettes as you well know I do not own any of the Harry potter characters I just use them for the purposes of entertaining you. . . so I hope you enjoy this next chapter in MISSING YOU. . .*

Journal,

I know Ron asked me out yesterday and I agreed! Ugh! Why did I have to say yes! Was I that desperate? God! Now I have to go to breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Grrrrrrrr! Well, I have to get ready for breakfast . . . Talk to you later!

LATER

Oh my God!! ! Okay, I went to breakfast and I started eating . . . Lord the food tasted horrible . . . maybe it was just me. I looked up and saw Draco smirk at me, it was an "I told you so," smirk. Probably because I'm at breakfast or maybe he cursed my food . . . but why would he do that? Ugh! This is just great!

So I got up and kind of ran for the bathroom wear I promptly cleared my body of all I had just eaten! GROSS! Anyways Draco followed me (what a shock) I didn't know till he was helping me hold my head up and my hair away.

I gasped, "What are you doing here?"

He smirked and replied, "I live here! 'Mione, why are you so sick? Maybe you should see Popery. . ."

"NO! I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW I AM LIKE THIS! ESPECIALLY RON AND HARRY!! ! I'LL GET LECTURES ABOUT BEING BULIMIC!! !" I had started screaming and ended up sobbing. "Draco, I have a problem and I know it, but I have to handle it myself! If I can't then I'll die! Not very many people would care anyways." I finished with a weak smile.

"I'll care," he replied, quietly. "You have to get help! 'Mione, you can't fight this by yourself. I'll help you. . ."

"I'm breaking up with Ron . . . and I am asking Dumbledore permission to go home until the talent show, or until I get well . . . and I'll be gone and you won't have to worry about me."

"'Mione, I'll always worry about you . . . are you performing in the show?!?" he asked shocked. "'Mione you can't leave me like this . . ."

"Sorry, Draco! You didn't want me, remember?" I said sighing. "I LOVE YOU, DRACO . . . and it break my heart to have to say this, I HAVE TO LEAVE. Just promise me one thing, love."

"What??" he asked hopefully.

Promise me you'll come to my funeral, NO MATTER WHAT! PROMISE ME!"

"I PROMISE . . . but you won't die on me I LOVE YOU, too 'Mione! I always will!" with that Draco kissed me.

I kissed him back with all my might, but I pulled back first, saying, "I have to talk to Dumbledore! I LOVE YOU! Goodbye. . ."

"Goodbye, sweetness. I'll miss you!" he said quietly.

As I walked away, I felt his eyes on my until I disappeared into the darkness of the corridors. First, I sought out Ron. I told him that we weren't working as a couple and I asked if we could still be friends. He an agreed quickly enough, and I was happy.

Then I had to go see Dumbledore. So I went to his office and said the password, "Lemon Drops," and I walked in to the spiral stair case. It revolved me up to Dumbledore door and I knocked.

Dumbledore answered and I got straight to business.

"Professor, I have come to ask your permission to return home and continue my school work by owl until the talent show or when ever I become well and whole again?"

"May I ask what this sickness is?" he said.

"I am bulimic/anorexic, sir," I replied calmly.

"Oh, well if that's the case you have my permission. Could I announce you're leaving at dinner tonight, and give the true reasons?" he asked.

"If you think it wise, sir, then I have no objections." I replied softly. "Could I go prepare to leave?"

"Of course Miss Granger." He said, just as softly.

So that's were I am now getting ready to go home. I was excused from the rest of my classes today.

As of now only Dumbledore and Draco know that I am leaving. So everyone else will be surprised that I am leaving first thing tomorrow mourning.

Okay I gotta go to dinner and not touch the food and if I do touch the food, try not to vomit. Be back later!

LATER:

They won't leave me alone. After Dumbledore announced I was leaving everyone has bugged me! All of the sudden Dumbledore says that Draco is going with me and that my parents have already agreed! ! !

I was shocked, but oh well, Draco and I are leaving tomorrow mourning for my house, oh well I have to get to bed!

I LOVE DRACO MALFOY.

AND HE KNOWS IT! ! !

Lots of Love,

Hermione Granger
