A/N: Ok here's the next chapter. Sorry it took so long to get up. Writers block, Computer problems and Assignments. Grrrrrrr. What could be worse? Anywho, Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers. I wouldn't be writing this if it weren't for you guys! Anyways…Enjoy!

By lunchtime Hermione was so nervous she could hardly breathe. How could Matt have told them? He had absolutely no right! Damn her stupid optimism! She had been so confident that he would never even dream of telling. She supposed it served her right for spilling her guts to someone she knew absolutely nothing about. What were Harry and Ron going to say? She knew they'd be disappointed and hurt that she hadn't come to them. But would they be angry? Hermione nearly crashed into the library door. Only one-way to find out, she thought, and stepped inside.

Glancing around the room, she found that Harry and Ron were sitting between the two rows of History books, where only she ever went. This way, they could be pretty sure that nobody would overhear their private conversations. Hermione swallowed hard. When she had as much composure as she thought possible considering the situation, she walked over and sat down.

Hermione stared at the floor; it was a kind of bone white with little flecks of a tannish brown in random positions. After a few moments of Silence, she looked up. They were both just staring at her; they had sad expressions on their faces and looked as if the world had been dumped rather heavily on their shoulders. Great, they probably felt sorry for her! That was the last thing she needed!

"Why?" Harry asked. Hermione looked at him, confused.

"What do you mean why?" Because some crazed sicko had a failure of a sex life, why did he think?

"Why do you do it?' Ron attempted to be helpful, but Hermione just became more confused.

"Hermione, don't play dumb with us, Matt told us you cut. We can't help you unless you tell us the problem. I can't believe you didn't come to us sooner! We care about you Mione!"

Hermione was so relieved, she was smiling. Her friends looked at her like she was crazy but she just trapped them in a humungous hug.

"Awwwwww! You guys are waaaaaaaaay too sweet! I'm sorry I didn't come to you sooner, I was afraid of what you would think, that you'd hate me! I should have trusted you! I'm so sorry!" Harry and Ron exchanged a look.

"Well, you're forgiven, but you have to promise not to do it ever again OK?" Hermione hesitated at first, but then she softened.

"OK."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Matt was blushing as he became very interested in the stone floor of a corridor on the fifth floor. Hermione was still fuming.

"Why did you tell them?" She asked for the zillionth time.

"We've been over this, I only told them that you cut, nothing more! And I did it because you need help, and they care about you, they really do. They deserve to know Hermione. Look, I'm sorry, I don't know how many times I have to say it. It was not my place to tell them, it was out of line I know and I'm sorry, please forgive me, please?"

"Damn right. I don't care whether or not they deserve it, it was my choice not to tell them and it was incredibly rude of you to interfere with that!"

"Look I've told you that I'm sorry, about a hundred times. I dunno what else I can say, No matter what they already know and there's nothing I can do now! And besides, they took it pretty well, and you didn't fight when you talked to them about it. I can't understand what you're stressing about. It worked out!"

"But that's entirely beside the point. You went behind my back and talked about me. You told other people something you shouldn't even have known. You didn't know it was going to work out when you told them!

"Ok so maybe I shouldn't have known, but you shouldn't have been doing it either. And of course I knew it was going to work out. They're your best friends, as if they would hate you for something like that. You're being completely ridiculous. It's not a big deal!"

Hermione looked as if she was going to slap him for a moment, but she seemed to think better of it, and stalked off before he could see the tears in her eyes.
