Hermione cut off all contact with Draco that was possible. She started taking early morning and late night rounds, so that Draco ought to be in bed by the time she got back. Occasionally he was still up reading, but he never so much as looked at her when she came in.
Essays and assignments seemed to be with him more than anyone else. Hermione continued to draw lines as he did his and she did hers. Harry and Ron were a little surprised at her withdrawal from everyone. She hardly ever talked to Ginny, or them, even Neville any more.
Hermione stopped going to the library, started hiding in her room and stopped going to Hogsmeade and Quidditch. She began going to the kitchens for meals, once or twice a day if she was lucky. Appearances at classes were being cut down and she began to miss them more than anything else.
"What's up with her?" Ron asked Ginny one day. She shrugged.
"She doesn't even go to the counselors anymore," she replied. Harry frowned.
"Something's up," he commented. Ron nodded.
"But what is up, I wonder?"
"We'll have to ask Cainbridge for an evaluation," Ginny voiced out loud.
"But how can she do an evaluation when she doesn't go to meals or classes. She doesn't go anywhere anymore. We can't have an evaluation if there is no where to evaluate her," Harry mused.
"How about we ask Cainbridge to set up an appointment?" Ginny told him.
"Would she go?" Ron asked stupidly.
"Well, we'd make her!" Harry cried. Ron and Ginny nodded and decided they'd do something about it tomorrow morning. They hoped it wasn't too late.

"So you see, we are worried," Ron told the counselor.
"Look, I understand, but there isn't much I can do. If Hermione needs to come to a counselor voluntarily, not by being asked to come because her friends are concerned," Cainbridge told the trio.
"But there must be something!" Ginny cried. Cainbridge shook her head sadly. Angrily, the trio walked out and ran into Draco.
"Hermione's barricaded herself in the bathroom. I thought she might need you, Ginny," he told them. Harry looked at him.
"Why did you call Ginny Ginny and Hermione Hermione?"
"Because Hermione is Head Girl and we have to get on and I know Ginny because she always talks about her, or used to anyway," he added.
Ginny smiled at Harry and Ron, and walked off with Draco towards the Head room. It was quiet as Draco showed her to the bathroom. Draco pointed at it.
"Hermione?" she murmured. She shoved Draco away and he disappeared into his room. A few sobs echoed around the bathroom.
Ginny unlocked the door and slid in. Hermione was sitting in the bathroom, pale and thin. She was in her pyjamas and she was stained with tears.
"Hermione? Do you want to talk?" Ginny asked.
"I just," Hermione started.
"You just what?"
"Hate me," Hermione looked up at Ginny's eyes.
"I don't hate you! Besides, don't say that about your self!"
"No, I do. Snape nearly raped me, my supposed Uncle has raped me and Draco wants a relationship! I hate my life!" she yelled. Ginny shrunk to the door.
"You need Cainbridge," Ginny said quietly.
"I don't need a bloody counselor! I need a knife!" she screamed. Ginny ran out the door, locking it with a complex locking charm. Draco peered around the door.
"Anything I can do?" he offered.
"Yeah, make sure nothing dangerous is in her room, shut up and leave her alone!" Ginny yelled at him before running to the counselor and Harry and Ron.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"She wants to commit suicide and I think she needs to talk to someone!" Ginny cried. Cainbridge scowled.
"I'll see what I can do." Ginny reddened.
"For a counselor, you don't do much," she said dangerously. She spun on her heel and walked out, her eyes dancing with anger. She needed to talk with Dumbledore. Harry and Ron looked at each other.
This was a girl thing. They were guys.

A/N: I know nothing much happened. It was a filler for Hermione's sake. Thanks if you want to review and I'll hopefully see you next chapter!
