Chapter 9

Open your heart to those who care!

Last time-

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.

"Oh you two get a room," Ron moaned

"No." Hermione said laughing.

"She's back," Ginny said hugging her best friend

TWO WEEKS LATER

Hermione was sitting in the Great Hall at breakfast time playing around with her cereal. She normally only ate once Draco, Harry, Ron, or Ginny were around. She was always scared that people were staring at her.

Harry and Ginny walked in and took their seats across from her.

"Waiting for us again, are you Hermione?" Ginny asked

Hermione only nodded and took a small bite.

Harry looked at her and shook his head. "You do know that if Draco were here and he would of seen you playing with your food you would have been back up in the hospital wing so fast you couldn't even say 'Hogwarts'"

"I know Harry but still I don't know it's just if I eat without someone it feels like everyone is watching me, you know?"

"Hermione, listen to me, so what if people stare? They stare at people all the time. They just like to gossip about people. All you got to do is ignore them," Harry said

"Ignore who?" Ron asked as him and Draco took their seats next to Hermione.

"No one important," Ginny said.

Draco kissed Hermione's cheek and then ate some cereal.

"Well, I better get to class," Hermione said kissing Draco and giving Ron a hug.

"Okay Hermione," they said, "see you in class."

She walked out and to Myrtle's bathroom.

"Hello Hermione. Where is Harry?" Myrtle asked.

"At breakfast still, and if I'm lucky still with Ginny," she said

"Okay, but remember your promise. I don't tell anyone and you bring Harry in here sometime."

"I will, I promise, and thanks for keeping the secret."

"No problem at all, Hermione"

Hermione smiled and walked into a stall locking it. She quickly emptied her stomach and then walked out and brushed her teeth.

"Good-bye Myrtle," Hermione said grabbing her book bag and walking out of the bathroom.

She walked to Transfiguration and sat in her seat in the front of the room and got out everything she would need.

The bell rang and the class walked in. Harry and Ron sat on her right while Draco sat down on left.

Draco reached his hand under her desk and held her hand. "You know Hermione, we are all so proud of you," he whispered.

"You are? Why?" she asked.

"After everything, you know, like the eating disorder and everything. You turned your life around," he said

She laughed weakly smiling and nodded.

"Hermione Granger what aren't you telling us?" Harry asked.

"Nothing," she said quickly.

"That was a little to quick there Hermione," Ron said.

She shrunk in her chair and was saved by class starting.

After class was over she ran out of the classroom and to her next class.

At lunch she stayed in the room of requirements.

During her afternoon classes she ignored them.

At dinner she sat at the end of the table and only pushed around her food, bringing a forkful of nothing to her mouth every few minutes.

After about a half hour of that she stood up and walked to the Gryffindor common room. She sat at her table between the fire and the window and started her homework that wad due tomorrow. She was falling behind, but would never admit it.

She got through her Potions essay, her Ancient Runes essay and her Muggle Studies essay.

She then set her homework aside and fell asleep with her face in her hands.

Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Draco all walked into the common room and saw Hermione. Draco picked her up and then set her down on the couch. He sat down and set her head on his lap. He played with her hair as the others looked through her bag.

"No way," Ginny said pulling out the toothbrush that was in her bag.

"She wouldn't," Ron said

"She would," Draco said looking down at his sleeping girlfriend's skinny form.

They all looked at her amazed as they sat by her the started talking on what to do.

A/N- I hope you guys liked this chapter. It's the longest one in the story. If you like it and want a new chapter all you have to do is review.
