A.N.-Okay people just to inform you, I'm not so sure where this story is going. Just hang in there with me.
She was crying out for help, but no one ever heard her. She wanted help but at the same time she didn't want anyone to know. Didn't want anyone to find out and reject her. Rejection always scared her, and this just made her even more scared.
Hermione was sitting on her bed with the curtains closed not wanting to take the risk of someone waking up and seeing her like this. She was a wreck, eyes and face red and puffy, pajamas askew, and hair matted. Every night Hermione would lie in bed and try to sleep, but she never slipped into slumber except for a few minutes before classes. She was starting to get bags under her eyes that not even makeup would hide. She wasn't eating much and she could feel herself getting weaker by the day.
She thought that someone would have noticed but no one had yet, and that made her slip more into the hole she had dug for herself. Hermione had started to think that no one cared about her and what became of her. She wanted to believe that there was someone out there that would care about her, love her but she just couldn't. She was lost even to herself, she didn't know who she had become, but she didn't like it. She didn't enjoy being this way but what could she do?
Hermione couldn't stay in bed; she had to get out of here. She slipped out of her bed as quietly as she could so not to wake anyone. When she got to the common room she saw a person lying on the couch and tiptoed around them to get to the portrait. The person on the couch stirred and mumbled something that Hermione couldn't understand. Her heart was racing; if the person on the couch saw her leave then she would get into so much trouble.
Hermione got out of the common room without incident, and she started off down the halls, making sure to stay in the shadows.
After walking around the castle for a while she found herself in a hallway that looked like had been deserted for a long time. The hall was so clean that it couldn't have people walking down it very often.
Then she heard footsteps coming up behind her, it sounded as if they were stepping lightly and didn't want to be heard, but in the quiet Hermione had heard. She froze in her fear that someone had seen her, but then the footsteps stopped. Hermione turned around, not even making a sound, and almost screamed at what she saw.
In front of her stood none other than Draco Malfoy. He was staring down at her with piercing eyes, and with a sneer on his face.
"I thought I had seen someone come this way. Never thought it was going to be you, Granger." The sneer on his face was slowly turning into a smirk, and Hermione had a feeling that this wasn't going to be good.
"Well it's nice to see you too Malfoy." She couldn't help but slip into her sarcastic self.
Malfoy grabbed Hermione's wrist and started to pull her along behind him when he suddenly stopped. Hermione saw him looking down at her wrist and then up at her face. Something that looked a lot like shock registered on Malfoy's face, and he stepped back, still holding her wrist, and let his eyes sweep over her body.
"What are you doing?" Malfoy had been creeping her out and she didn't like the look that had planted itself on his face.
"What are you doing to yourself? You're so skinny, too skinny." His voice was a lot softer than before, but also there was a stern background to his question.
"Nothing, I just haven't been very hungry lately. Why are you asking anyway, it's not like you care or anything." Hermione was starting to get fed up with him, and she was scared that he would find out.
"I don't care, it's just that I like to know what all goes on in the school." Malfoy was staring fixedly down at her and Hermione could feel herself start to fidget. No matter how she tried to stop her body just started to shake.
"What are you doing? Trying to shake me off you?" He was looking at her like she was out of her mind.
Hermione didn't answer she was too busy trying to stop her body from shaking; it was starting to scare her. She wasn't sure why she was shaking, but she wasn't really worried about why, just how to fix it.
Malfoy must have seen something on her face because his face changed from a 'you're crazy' look to a 'what the hell' look. "What is going on with you Granger?"
"I don't know. This has never happened before." Hermione's breathing was gaining speed and her face was flushing. Her legs buckled underneath her causing her to crumple on the ground. Or she would have if Malfoy hadn't caught her mid-fall.
Hermione felt herself moving, but she was so concentrated on the pain that she didn't pay much attention. That is until she was placed on a bed. Looking around at her surroundings she saw that she was in the hospital wing, and then another wave of pain washed over her.
Malfoy rushed off to find Madam Pomfrey, hoping that she was in her office. Just as he reached for the doorknob it flew open, almost hitting him. Madam Pomfrey swept out and turned toward him. "What can I do for you Mr. Malfoy?"
Malfoy catching his breath from running to the hospital wing, "Granger, she needs your help."
Madam Pomfrey rushed off towards the bed that was occupied and kneeled by the side. "What is wrong Miss. Granger?"
Hermione was now holding her mid section and rolling around on the bed. "It hurts. God it hurts." She managed to get this out before she clenched her jaw to keep from screaming.
"Malfoy please leave she needs to be fully examined." Madam Pomfrey didn't even look at him when addressing him, just kept on comforting Hermione until she could figure out what was wrong.
Malfoy a bit dazed walked out of the hospital wing and stood against the wall. Not able to hold himself up any longer he slid down the wall, sitting on the ground. He was brought out of his thoughts by a loud screaming.
A.N.- Please reviem, it would make me so happy and I know that's everyone's goal in life! Also I don't care if you tell me that you don't like it as long as you tell me something, and PLEASE tell me if there is a grammer or spelling mistake.
Thank you so very much!
