Splish, splash. The warm water oozed around Hermione as she swam around and around the pool. Her curly hair was flying wildly around her as she pushed herself faster and faster. Finally she reached the wall and took in deep shallow breaths. "I really need to get into shape" she aloud. She was in her sixth year at Hogwarts and was turning 17 in a couple of weeks. She was tall and kind of chubby with big breasts. She knew she had put on weight over the summer but she couldn't seem to get it off. It was only about 20 pounds but the results in her breasts were amazing. She had already gone up a cup size. On the train Harry and Ron sat with her for maybe a few minutes before Paviti and Lavender walked by and then they were off like a rocket. Everybody was changing. Her two best friends didn't have time for her anymore. They both were too busy trying to keep their pants zipped. She knew that if she was thinner with blond hair then they would have stayed longer but she was just a chubby ugly girl to them. As she sat at the dinner table she nervously pulled at her clothes, hoping that her clothes wouldn't reveal too much. Then Draco Malfoy had to come over and make everything worse. Him and his two goons were standing about five feet from Hermione as she tugged at her shirt.

"Looks like the muggle getting a little porky. Hey GW what have you been eating?" She turned to Harry and Ron hoping they would jump up and threaten to punch in his face but they just sat there eating their Yorkshire pudding. "Hey what's worse than a muggle?" Hermione heard Draco ask as him and the goons left the hall, "A fat one!"

"Why didn't you defend me?" asked Hermione obviously hurt and mad at the same time.
"I hate to say it Hermione but.." Started Harry struggling to put this in the nicest way possible.
"What?" said Hermione starting to panic.
"You're fat," said Ron, "and we want a better image for the dream team. I'm really sorry."
"Sorry my ass! If you two were really my friend you wouldn't care what I looked like" shouted Hermione, "I hate you both!" She ran form the hall with tears in her eyes. The whole incident made her cry again. Most of her bathing suits were too small so she was skinny-dipping. Nobody else knew about her secret place. It was a place where she could be alone. Hermione pulled herself out of the pool and stood up. She rapped a towel around her and ran to the Perfect dormitory, wanting to be alone. When she walked in their sat Malfoy. She was so surprised she almost dropped the towel.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't el porko looks like we're roomies." Hermione closed her eyes and held back the tears that threatened to flow any second. "Just leave me alone." She said quietly, determined not to let him see her cry. But Draco was not the kind of guy to let things drop. "So I hear you're like 200 pounds. I didn't know whale watching was in season." He cracked up. She ran up to her room quickly but Draco had seen that one tear escape her closed eyelids. She slammed the door and lay down in her room and cried bitter tears of betrayal and hate. " I hate Harry and Ron and most of all Draco Malfoy." Sobbed Hermione, "What did I ever do to him?"

Outside the door she was unaware of the fact that Draco Malfoy himself had a Weasely Wonder ear pressed against the door. Being the nosy person he was he wanted to hear her say how much she hated herself and then he could tease her in the morning but what he heard put a stab of pain some where deep inside his chest. "What was that?" he wondered. "Am I having a damn heart attack?" "Shit" he thought, "I think I'm feeling sorry for the mudblood."
