1No One
"And your sure that is what you saw"Blaise asked Hermione for the one-millionth time.
"Positive"she answered.
Draco, Hermione, and Blaise sat at the kitchen table discussing Hermione's discoveries. They had been sitting there for almost two hours, but it was only 10 am.
"Well then we have to do something about"Blaise stated the clearly obvious.
"Thank you Captain Obvious"Draco grinned at Blaise
"Aye it's been a pleasure having you aboard the S.S. Obviousity"Blaise smirked back at him sarcastically.
Hermione laughed at loud at their crazy antics. Surprisingly enough the two boys were extremely funny. Most people would never believe her if she told them all about their craziness. Of course nobody really knew them like she did. They all thought they were nothing but cold heartless evil Slytherins. Boy were they wrong. They were nothing like that at all, not when they were themselves.
And yet sometimes Hermione wondered if they actually were lying to her to get close to Harry or at least the Light Side. All these things had actually came to her when she had been in Draco's room that whole day and night. If they were trying to get close to Harry then they might as well look else where because she never wanted to see his face again.
All of a sudden Hermione felt a bit dizzy. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. It obviously wasn't working very well because she still felt like she was going to throw up. Quickly she got up. Too quickly. She stood there for a moment.
"Hermione what is it?"Draco stood up and put a hand on her shoulder.
Oh no Hermione thought before she ran into the bathroom.
Hermione leaned against the wall shaking and sweaty. She had just spent five minutes throwing up into the toilet. She closed her eyes thinking that this couldn't be happening to her. Breathing slowly and deeply she steadied herself.
"Hermione, are you okay?"Hermione heard Draco's voice on the other side of the door.
He sounded nervous, scared, and concerned. He could be quite sweet at times.
"Hermione, can we come in?"Blaise too seemed to be with him and just as concerned.
Hermione couldn't get up the strength to speak so she just grunted. They obviously thought that was a yes so they came in. Stooping down next to her Draco pushed a piece of her hair out of her still sweaty face.
"Come on Hermione you should go sit down on the living room couch"Blaise offered his hand to her which she accepted.
He pulled her off the ground and Draco and him led her out of the bathroom into the living room. All three of them sat down on the couch with Hermione in the middle. Hermione pulled her legs up to her chest and closed her eyes trying desperately not to cry. She felt an arm around her shoulders and she opened her eyes.
Draco was next to her with a protective arm around her. Blaise got up slowly, mumbled goodnight, and gave Hermione a small hug before going into his room.
"Hermione"Draco whispered"What's wrong"
Hermione's only answer was a small tear falling out of her eye. Draco pulled her close and soothed her by rubbing her back.
"It's okay, Hermione, it's okay"Draco whispered again"Come on you need some sleep"
He stood up pulling her with him and led him to his room. Even though it was only noon Hermione felt extremely tired. She supposed she should tell them but she didn't really want to. What if they were just like the others? Hermione didn't think she would be able to deal with that pain.
Draco laid her down on the bed and covered her up just like a little baby. When he was turning to leave Hermione grabbed his hand.
"No please don't leave me all alone"Hermione muttered.
Draco smiled and went around the bed and got in under the covers next to her. Hermione wiggled her way over to him and curled up in his arms. Draco wrapped his arms around her small waist and held her tight.
"Hermione?"Draco said.
"Yeah"
"Are you ever gonna tell us, me and Blaise I mean, any explanations. I mean first off your best friends of like forever ditch you and now you throw up all of a sudden"Hermione squirmed a bit.
"Well I will...eventually"Hermione took a deep shaky breath"I don't like talking about it"
Draco nodded.
"And as
for my throwing up I just gotta a little sick there is nothing to
worry about"Hermione smiled up at him.
"Okay, then go to
sleep so you can get better"Draco told her.
"What are you my mother?"Hermione snapped incredousley.
"Do you I look like a mother?"Draco rolled his eyes.
"Do you want the truth?"Hermione joked looked up at him innocently.
"Hahaha"Draco squinted sarcastically"Don't I get enough of that from Blaise and his stupid antics?"
"Oh please you are involved in most of them"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm not"
"What are you six?"
"No ten years off, I'm sixteen"Draco smirked.
Hermione shook her head and then leaned it on Draco's chest closing her eyes. Draco lay there with Hermione until she was fast asleep. Which wasn't until 2:00 pm. Draco then had to leave her to get ready for work. Slipping out of the room he took a hurried shower and was dressed in a flash. After saying good-bye to Blaise he flooed to the Cobbler's Pub.
At around 4:00 pm Hermione woke up and came out into the living room where Blaise was looking at a magazine. Hermione sat down next to him but he didn't even notice her until she spoke.
"What are you reading?"Hermione broke the silence.
Blaise jumped a good six inches and quickly shoved it behind him.
Blushing he said very quickly"Nothing, nothing at all"
"Uh huh, so where is Draco"Blaise held back a laugh.
"Work, why?"
"Oh no
reason just curious"Hermione turned away to look in the
fireplace.
"Uh huh"Blaise obviously didn't believe
her"So what was wrong with you this morning?"
"Oh nothing I just felt a little sick"Hermione said a bit to quickly.
"No your not"Blaise countered with her.
"And how exactly would you know?"Hermione beginning to panic slightly.
What if he really did know what was going on in her life. She highly doubted that he knew everything but Blaise was able to put two and two together.
"I'm not stupid and despite what Draco says he knows there is more than what your telling us"Blaise was speaking a bit slowly as if he was choosing his words carefully"It doesn't take a genius to know that something is wrong with you"
"And do you have any proof that something is wrong?"Hermione thought she had him there but unfortunately for her she didn't.
"Yes I do, one you threw up for five minutes but you hadn't have much food in the past twenty-four hours before you threw up, two whenever we try to talk about Potter, Weasel, and or Weaselette you get really mad, three your not very good at hiding things and finally four..."Blaise paused for a moment as if considering what he was about to say"You have been getting a lot bigger very fast around the middle"
Hermione froze and just stared at him. No she thought no no no.
"Hermione, please you have to tell us what is wrong"Hermione stood up"If one of those people did anything I'll kill them, I swear"Blaise stood up as well.
Hermione took a small step away from him. No she told herself you have to face it you have to tell them what is wrong you have to. But then her utter fear and anxiety washed over her body like a tidal wave. No they can't know they can never know, they'll want nothing left to do with me. Hermione felt tears in the back of her throat and eyes threatening to spill over. Before she could even think she ran back through the kitchen and into Draco's room.
Slamming the door behind herself she locked the door. She tried to hold the tears back as she walked over to the window hoping she could see something to make her smile. Before she made it she collapsed onto the ground tears rushing down her face. She just sat there on the ground on her knees crying to no end.
Hermione heard Blaise knock on the door saying he could help but Hermione ignored him. No none could help her know ...noone.
