Everyone sat downstairs and tried to think of a way to help Hermione and let her know they were there for her.Pansy looked at the clock and saw it was time for her ,and Hermione to do rounds.

"I better go get Hermione." She got up and walked up the stairs.Pansy walked into the bedroom and saw Hermione laying on the floor.

"Hermione?Hermione?"Pansy walked over to her and kneeled down turning Hermione over.

"Mione are you okay?" Pansy asked starting to panick.She looked on the floor and saw the pill bottle, and instantly freaked.

"OH MY GOD! GUYS GET UP HERE!"Pansy yelled getting up and running to the door just as the guys reached it.

"What , what hap..."Blaise started to say as he entered the room but cut himself off as he saw Hermione laying on the floor.Harry and Ron saw this to and ran straight to her side.

"Hermione what did you do?" Harry asked picking her head up and craddleing her."Pansy get Madaam Pompfry, and Dumbledore quick!Come on Hermione open your eyes."Harry picked her up and ran to the bathroom.

"We need to make her throw up.We have to get the pills out of her sysem."Harry said .

"Draco, Blaise can you find something to stick down her throat."

They both nodded and ran down to the common room.Ron kneeled down by Harry.

"Is she gonna be okay?"

"Ron, I don't know. I hope so."

"Harry, Ron Madaam Pompfrys here and so is Professor Dumbledore."Pansy yelled as they both entered the bathroom, and took Hermione off their hands.Madaam Pompfry ran out of the dorm with Hermione while the others stayed back to answer Dumbledore's questions.

"Does anyone know why she would do this?" Professor Dumbledore asked.

"No sir, but I think it has to do with what we all found out this afternoon."Draco said.

Dumbledore nodded,and everyone launched into the explaination of whay happened in potions, and after.


Hermione opened her eyes and saw the white walls ,and knew she was in the hospital wing.

She moved a little and felt something beside her, she looked down and saw Draco asleep holding her hand with his head on her bed.She looked around and noticed Harry on her other side, and Blaise , Ron, and strangly enough Pansy on the couch at the foot of her bed.She moved her hand and automatically woke Draco up.

"Hermione?"He said causing the others to wake with him."Are you okay?"

"I'm still here aren't I?" She said in a whisper thanks to her dry throat.Harry poured her some water which she took gratefully.

"Why'd you do it Mione?"Ron asked.

Hermione felt the tears in her eyes and for once let them fall freely "I thought you'd all hate me after what was said, and what DRaco saw. I couldn't deal with it anymore. One person can only handle so much, and I think my limit exceded.I'm sorry."

Harry hugged her hard "We love you Mione not your family. We can help you deal with your problems, but if you not here then that would kill us.You've always been a strong person and that's what everyone loves about you."

Hermione cried into his sholder "But what if I'm not that strong anymore."

"Hermione you'll always be strong you just don't have to handle things on your own all the time, it doesn't make you and less strong just even more smart."Draco said hugging her too.

Hermione smiled a little and looked at everyone else.

"No one could replace you Mione.Your one of a kind."Ron said.

"I'm sorry for how I treated you all this time." Pansy said.

Blaise laughed "Isn't it so much easier to just be friends."He said causing everyone to laugh.

"Looks like my idea worked."

Everyone turned to see Dumbledore and Madaam Pompfry looking at them.

"How are you feeling Miss Granger?"He asked.

Hermione looked at everyone then back to the professor "Better."

"Thats good.You'll have to stay here for a few days,and then you may return to classes."Madaam Pompfry said looking over her vitals.

"Professor what happens now?"Hermione asked.

"There will be an investigation by the ministry, and they will make a vertict on your well being, and where to put you."

Hermione nodded.Professor Dumbledore, and Madaam Pompfry left leaving Hermione , Pansy, and the boys alone.

" Guys not to be mean But can I be alone for a little while?"Hermione asked.

The boys nodded and waved bye leaving her to her thoughts.Hermione picked up her notebook and a pen ,and did the only thing she could do when she was stressed...write.


A few days later, on friday Hermione was released she walked down to the great hall ,and sat down by Harry at the Gryffindor table talking with the people around her trying to act as normal as possible. Someone cleared their throat into the microphone, and everyone gave their attention to Dumbledore.

"A student would like to read something at this time so give her your undivided attention."

Dumbledore sat down and to everyone's surprise Ginny Weasley walked up to the Teacher's table.

"I found this in a friends notebook, and I just want her to know shes not alone, and that her words have true meaning to a lot of people."Ginny pulled a piece of notebook paper from her pocket and began reading.

"I am moving through the crowd, trying to find myself. Feel like a guitar thats never been played, will someone strum away.I ask myself who do I wanna be, do I wanna throw away the key, and invent a whole new me.I tell myself noone, noone, don't wanna be noone but me.You are moving throught the crowd, trying to find yourself.Feeling like a doll left up on a shelf will someone take you down. You ask yourself, who do I wanna be, do I wanna throw away the key, and invent a whole new me. Gotta tell yourself noone, noone don't wanna be noone but me.Your life plays out on the shadows on the wall, you turn the light out to erase it all. Wonder what it's like to not feel worthless, so open all the blinds, and all the curtains, and be noone but you."

Everyone clapped as Hermione just stared.

"The writer is Hermione Granger, and I think she hit a lot of peoples feeling right on."

Everyone clapped louder, and Hermione just looked around.Ginny sat back down, and The clapping settled down as Dumbledore stood up again.

"I think instead of a ball this year for Halloween we'll put on a talent show for all years.Anyone can enter, there will be a sign up sheet in all common rooms after dinner. That being said tuck in."

Everyone ate chatting about the upcoming talent show.Everyone was excited even Hermione because she knew exactly what she was gonna do.
