A/N – I would like to take this time and thank everyone who reviewed on Chapters 7 since I know I haven't done that yet. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 8
Open your heart to those who care!
Last time-
"Hermione stay with us," Harry said.
"Draco," she said weakly, "I love you." She looked at him as she passed out again
Draco just sat there stunned as his face turned red.
The nurse rushed in and gave Hermione a few more potions. "Did you guys talk to her about it?" she asked looking at them.
They nodded.
She smiled and walked back off to her office.
After a week was gone Hermione was a loud out of the hospital wing.
During that first week Hermione was out of the hospital wing her, Ron, Harry, and Draco were all inseparable.
One of them was with Hermione at all, except when she went to the bathroom or to bed, but even then they were either talking to her through a two way mirror (like the ones Harry and Sirius had) or Ginny was with her.
She was never alone anymore and it made her feel pretty good.
During breakfast one morning, Hermione was sitting in between Draco and Ron. (Harry and Ginny were sitting across from them) When the mail was getting delivered an owl came and dropped a letter off right in front of Hermione. She smiled as she realized that it wasn't a howler.
She opened it up and read silently to herself:
My dearest Hermione,
Ever since you said what you did in the hospital wing that day, I can't get you off of my mind. Oh Hermione, I really do love you too.
I was hoping my dear sweet Hermione if you would go out with me?
All my love,
Draco.
She squealed and hugged Draco. "Yes, of course Draco," she said as she kissed his cheek.
He smiled. "Good, now why don't you, instead of picking at your food actually eat something," he said.
Ginny, Ron, Harry, and all the other Gryfindors backed away from them. They all knew her wrath when it came to her and her not eating.
She sent a glare at him and slowly brought a forkful of food to her mouth.
The whole table, well actually the whole school, let out a sigh of relief at her not screaming.
She ate it and then took a few more bites. After she did she jumped up from the table and ran to Mrtyle's bathroom and threw up.
Ginny walked in. "Hermione, are you okay?" she asked.
"I will be," she said as she stood up and walked to the sink washing her mouth out. "Oh, Ginny, look at me. What have I done to myself? I need help," she said
"We know and we are helping you. It's just going to take a while," she said wrapping her arms around her.
"But I let my muggle friends tell me I was fat. I let them and then to make it even worse I believed them Ginny! I believed them!"
"I know Hermione. I know how hard it must be, but think. You have me, Harry, Ron, and Draco, we're all your friends and we're all going to help you through this."
"Thanks Ginny," she said.
"Let's head back before the guys worry about us," Ginny said
Hermione nodded and then grabbed Ginny's wrist and pulled her to the Great Hall laughing all the way.
As they approached the Gryffindor she heard someone say, "Finally, she's laughing. That's something we haven't heard in a while."
Hermione just kept her head high and walked over to Ron, Harry, and Draco who were all looking at her.
When she got to Draco she hugged him tightly. "I love you" she said in his ear.
"And I you, my Hermione," he said burying his head in her hair.
A/N- I don't know where all these ideas are coming from, I hope you guys are all enjoying it. I know this was total mushy and everything, but it won't be like that forever. I hope to get the next chapter out shortly, maybe within the next few days, before my surgery. Please don't forget review!
