Chapter 4
Open your heart to those who care!
By the next morning Hermione was up and out of bed by seven. She checked in with the nurse and she was allowed to leave.
"Just remember, eat healthy and sleep right. I don't want you in here again for exhaustion, like last year," she said.
"Okay, I'll be fine," Hermione said walking out. She walked to the Gryfinndor Common Room and up to the girls' dorm. She took a shower and changed her clothes into another one of her Hogwarts uniforms.
She walked down to the common room right as Harry and Ron did.
"Hey 'Mione," Ron said.
"Hey Ron," she said as she walked over to him and hugged him.
"'Mione," Harry said.
"Hello to you too Harry," she said giving him a hug as well.
"The nurse let you out already?" Ron asked.
Hermione nodded.
"Well, are you ready to go to breakfast?" Harry asked.
Hermione nodded. "I'll go down but I already ate in the hospital wing," she lied.
She walked down to the Great Hall in between Ron and Harry. When they got to the Great Hall, Draco saw them and then stood up and walked over to them.
"Hermione, you're out! We were so worried about you when you collapsed yesterday," Draco said giving her a hug.
Shocked gasps could be heard around the Great Hall as he did.
"I was fine. I was just tired. I get like that before I come back to Hogwarts," Hermione lied quickly.
"Then how come you have never passed out before and why in the world are you so skinny. I can feel every bone in your body."
"You can?" she asked, "I guess my dieting and working out had paid off than."
"You have been what?" all three of the boys around her yelled. They grabbed her arms and pulled her out of the Great Hall.
"Hermione, tell us what is wrong, right now!" Ron yelled.
"Nothing is going on. My muggle friends and I just started a diet this summer to lose weight and I guess it's working," she said
"No duh its working you can see and feel every bone in your body!" Harry yelled
"Don't yell at me Harry James Potter! You are not all that just because you the-boy-who-bloody-lived!" Hermione yelled.
The boys stepped backwards as she yelled.
"Hermione, relax! We are just worried about you," Ron said
"I am eighteen years old! I don't need anyone looking after me! I am an adult!" she screamed.
"Listen we know you are an adult but we just want to make sure you are okay," Draco said.
"I'm fine. It's not like I need you worrying about me. I can handle myself. I am, after all, the smartest witch Hogwarts has seen in many years," she said.
"Hermione we all know that but listen if you are not going to have enough respect for your body than maybe we shouldn't care. I mean look at you. You are ridiculously skinny," Draco yelled.
"Who said I don't have respect for my body?" she yelled.
"You can tell by looking at you Mione," Harry said looking at the other two boys who nodded.
They turned on their hells and walked away leaving a very stunned Hermione behind them.
Hermione watched them leave and then ran up to a bathroom and cried her eyes out.
