Chapter 4- Gaining Trust?
A week past, and Hermione noticed Draco's change in attitude towards her, she still couldn't figure it out. Had he found out? How? These questions all scrambled her brain as she walked to the library and ran into who else but Malfoy himself "Speak of the devil, literaly," she thought.
"Oh, sorry Hermione, you ok? Look a little pale." He commented. "She looks so sick, how could I not have noticed it??" He questioned his self.
"Malfoy, I'm fine! What's with the Hermione buisness!? What happened to you??" She questioned looking as if she would lose consiousness if she didn't continue.
"Ok! Calm down, I didn't know, and I've not always been evil, I can be nice you know!" Draco replied looking hurt.
"Yeah yeah, I've gotta go," Hermione hurried off to the library not once looking back.
As Hermione sat in the library racking her brain as for why Draco was acting so strange, she thought back to her dream. She had the same one every night, only it progressed, was this supposed to mean something?......
Hermione ran down a long corridor, that was filled with darkness and old portraits that screamed out something that was not clear enough to make out what it was. She saw a light at the end of the corridor, but no matter how long or how fast she ran, she was never able to reach the light. This confused her so much. She felt as if she were going to scream! She couldn't tell Harry or Ron they wouldn't understand....that's when the thought came to her. Ginny!
Hermione gathered her books and rushed back to the Gryffindor tower, she climbed through the portrait hole and found Ginny sitting in a comfy chair reading in front of the fire.
"Ginny, I need to talk to someone," Hermione blurted as soon as she sat down.
Ginny closed her book marking her page and turned to look at a tired and frustrated Hermione, who by the way looked like crap the past few days.
"Go ahead," Ginny said.
"Well I haven't told you or anybody else for that matter, but Ron knows he found out, it wasn't something I could stop, but if I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't worry yourself to death or treat me any differently or tell anyone either." Hermione said quickly, "Promise?"
"You know it!" Ginny said.
Hermione grabbed Ginny's hand and led her to her headgirl's dormitory. There she explained everything that had been going on in her life for the past two years. When Hermione finished, she had cried and tears were silently flowing down her red-headed friend's face.
"Hermione...I had no idea...none at all...I'm so sorry," Ginny choked out. Her tears becoming worse.
"I understand that, Gin I have about 5 or 6 months left to live...I don't know what I'm going to do," Hermione stopped to sniff, "Most teenagers don't have to worry about whether they'll leave to see another day, and I do Ginny! I do! I just feel so victimized and it's so unfair sometimes I just don't know what to do, and I want to tell Harry so badly and Ron is just so strange acting about it and it kills me seeing him look at me the way he does now...." Hermione finished taking a deep breath. Ginny could see more tears forming in Hermione's eyes.
"Maybe you should just tell them that Mione'," Ginny said soothingly, "Just explain that you wanted them to know and you kept it from them this long for the fear of not being treated the same, they'll understand."
"You make it sound do easy Ginny, but I've came so closed to telling them before so close and something just holds me back, I just bite my tongue and talk about something thats not even remotley close to....luekemia," Hermione choked the word out.
"It's so unbelieveable, the thought of you dying...Isn't there something, anything that they can do?! Any muggle treatments of some sort?"
"See Gin, I've had leukemia for about 2 years and I have lived a year longer than they thought about 3 years ago when I was first diagnosed with it, I went into chemo and I lost my hair, I used a spell to reproduce it before school, and I was always tired and everything. The doctors they thought that they had gotten it all though chemo therapy, it's this muggle treatment with lazers, and about 2 years ago when I thought of which I was in remisson, I went back for a checkup and they took some cat scans and it turned out that...they hadn't gotten rid of it. I tried different medications but none of it worked. It kept coming back and spreading. I'm getting weaker though Gin, and I just wanted to finish out my life as normal as possible so just don't say nothing please?" Hermione begged, her eyes pleading for the answer she wanted.
"All that muggle stuff is so complicated Mione' I just really dont understand it but I will keep it a secret until you decide that Harry and the rest of us Weasleys are ready to know." Ginny finished.
"I'm a little tired after all of this so I think I will take a nap, I'll see you at dinner?" Hermione added, "Thanks again Gin'"
"No Problem, I just dread this Hermione your one of my closest friends and I just don't want to see you go through this, you don't derserve it," Ginny stood up to leave and gave Hermione a bone crushing hug. She stopped at the door and left after saying..
"If you need somebody to talk to, you know where to find me,"
Hermione laid down and slept a calm and peaceful sleep waking up only to her alarm she had set for her naps. She really hoped she could trust Ginny.
