I did a very stupid thing this week, instead of writing whenever I had a chance, I was checking if I had reviews, which was silly really, because I already knew I had one review, which I got around 3 seconds after I posted this story (thanks zan182!), so I had one reader who wanted another chapter so I should have been doing that, getting another chapter ready! Instead I was being greedy, I got one review, but, like all who get a taste of success, I wanted more! So, while I was being greedy, I may have lost the one reader I have: (Galadral, you don't count because I made you read it!hehe, kidding, you count, so that's a grant total of two readers!)

Edit: I did forget the disclaimer this time!

I own nothing...well, nothing Harry Potter related! Actually, I got all my Harry Potter stuff together a few weeks ago to take a picture (it was for a competition) and it turns out I own quite a lot Harry Potter related! But, you know, I'm not JKRowling! Woe is me!


Hermione woke up a few hours later, she was lying down and her bed was facing the window, she noticed that it was dark outside. I know that window she thought, where am I? She tried to put two and two together but she couldn't think straight. She heard movement next to her, and she tried to turn around, but she moved too fast.

"Ow, my head!" she had a splitting headache.

"Hermione, are you okay?" A familiar but concerned voice drifted to her ear, and with a painful jolt her focus sharpened and she could think straight.

"Ron, what am I doing in the hospital wing? Ron? Where are you?" She turned around in her bed but she couldn't see him anywhere.

"We're here." she heard Harry whisper, but she still couldn't see them. "We're under the invisibility cloak, we stayed here all afternoon but Madame Pomfrey made us leave at 7 o'clock. Well, you know Madame Pomfrey, we couldn't exactly argue with her, so we left, but we came back in as soon as she went into her office, we've been here since."

Hermione grinned to herself, no matter how well she knew Harry and Ron she still couldn't understand why they were scared of Madame Pomfrey.

Well, I appreciate your concern and everything, but that doesn't explain why I'm hear, the last thing I remember was you telling me about an extra credit assignment. Was I hexed or something?"

"No," answered Ron, "you just fell, fainted. It was weird. We took you here and Madame Pomfrey, I dunno, did her stuff, and she gave you sleeping potion. She said something about stress but she said she'd wait to tell us what's wrong until you woke up. But don't worry," he added hastily, "I don't think it's anything serious."

"Yeah," said Harry, "And at one point she left, mumbling something about seeing Dumbledore, and pressure on the students, overworking. It sounds to me like you're stressed out."

"Don't be silly, Harry!" said Hermione.

There was a sound from Madame Pomfrey's office.

'Well, whatever the reason, you are in the Hospital Wing, so you'd better get some sleep.' said Ron, and he and Harry disappeared under the cloak.

'You're just saying that because you're afraid that Madame Pomfrey will catch you!' said Hermione.

'Shhh..' came Ron and Harry's voices from beside her bed.

'Oh fine! I'm going to sleep. Scare-dy cats!' mocked Hermione.


Hermione woke to the sound of Madame Pomfrey bustling about in the Hospital Wing. She sat up and saw Harry and Ron sitting next to her bed.

Madame Pomfrey walked over to her.

'These two have been here all morning.' she said, jerking her head in Harry and Ron's direction. 'So, how are you feeling?'

'Very well thank you. In fact, I don't even know why I'm here - there's nothing wrong with me.'

'Of course there isn't, but we couldn't exactly have students fainting throughout the school and not take care of them, could we? No, of course not. You're perfectly alright, just stressed -'

'Stressed!' said Hermione, 'but I follow a well thought out study plan, I plan every day with the greatest care, nothing stressful happens to me!'

'Yes, you might think so, but your body was overworked, so it just shut down. Actually, yours is probably the worst case of stress I've ever seen in a student. Now, I will have to insist that you go easier on yourself, perhaps schedule some time in your study plan every evening to relax?'

'Well, I could start knitting again...'

'Perfect! Do that every evening and do stop putting so much pressure on yourself. I understand how much studies you have now that you've started your N.E.W.T. cycle, but remember, an hour of relaxing takes less time than a night in the Hospital Wing! Now go on, it's just coming on to 8 in the morning, I'm sure you have some things to do.'

'Thank you.'


End chapter...

That's it. No, I'm not kidding, that's it! The end of a horrible chapter. I would like to point out that I hate this chapter. What happened is, when I was writing the first chapter I wrote 'She giggled in a flustered way.' and then, out of nowhere, completely unplanned ' And promptly fainted.' popped into my head. I liked the sound of it, and it was a nice way to end the chapter, but there is no story to it. I have a kind of outline of my story in my head and there was never a Hospital Wing element to it. I would like to warn anyone now who is reading this Hermione fainting means absolutely nothing. There is no plot to it, it's just bad writing! I know if I were reading this story I would think 'hmm, maybe this will be very important later on' but it's not! I can't emphasize that anymore! I meant to write around a paragraph in the Hospital Wing, it turned into a chapter. It's a pointless chapter and, as I said before, I hate it!

Yeah, whatever...

(review if you like, but I already know it's bad, no point telling me that, instead try to tell me how to improve maybe, or tell me to give up writing all together, no, don't do that actually, that's mean!)

Edit:I just realised that I forgot to thank my reviewers! I'm going to reload this chapter especially! Thanks to:

zan189 for being my first reviewer ever! And for being so so kind! I hope I still have you as a reader even though I took so long!
Galadryal for reviewing and beta-ing! & being a nice person in general!
lord of all evil for restoring my faith in my fanfic! I didn't get reviews for ages, and then you reviewed, so thanks!
