Ginny woke up the next morning with the sun shining in her eyes. She dragged herself out of bed and got ready for the day. When she was leaving for breakfast, Anna was just dragging her own ass out of bed.
When she got to the Great Hall, she spotted Collin in seconds and went to sit next to him.
"Morning" Collin said with a mouth full of pancakes.
"Lovely" Ginny stated, regarding his mouth full of food.
She piled her plate with sausage, pancakes, bacon, and eggs, washing it all down with some orange juice.
Being quite hungry, Ginny ate fast. She also wanted to be done by 8, since classes started at 8:30.
When she was done, she excused herself and headed for the dungeons. Potions was her first class. The dungeons also almost always had deserted bathrooms.
Once in the dungeons, Ginny stepped into the first bathroom she found. Deserted, yes! Her stomach was churning, not used to having food sit in her stomach any more.
She walked over to the last stall on the end, and locked the door behind her. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail, and bent over the toilet. Ginny stuck her first to fingers of her left hand into her mouth. Reaching as far back as possible, she pushed down. She stayed there for a few seconds, pushing up and down with her fingers. When she felt the food coming back up, she quickly moved her hand. Ginny continued to do this until she couldn't feel any food left in her stomach.
The Griffindor girl straightened up, flushed the toilet and washed her hands with a satisfied feeling. She looked at her watch, 8:25, perfect timing. Ginny thought to herself.

Ginny was looking for an empty bathroom after a big lunch. She rounded a corner and walked right into a very hard body.
"Ow" Ginny said, looking up to see a blond-haired Slytherin.
"Watch where you're going Weasley,"Draco Malfoy sneered.
"Maybe if you're head wasn't so far up your ass you could see where you are going."Ginny retorted.
"Hey Draco, what are yo-" Blaise Zabini cut off when he rounded the corner. "Oh, hey Ginny, I didn't see you there."
"How could you not, She's huge." Draco said with a triumphant look on his face. Ginny's face turned a bright red, and she dashed off around the corner and into the nearest bathroom. Not caring if anyone was in there she locked herself in the nearest stall, and heaved up her lunch.
Feeling as if she still had some more food in her stomach, she forced herself to throw up more, this time only stomach acid and some blood came up.
Her throat burning, Ginny fell against the wall sobbing. Malfoy is right. I'm huge. I'm fat. Thats why no guys like me. That's why they all love Anna, Because she is perfect. I'm going to be perfect!
~ * ~ * ~
"That was completely unnecessary." Blaise sighed, as he watched the red head run off.
"She was annoying me." Draco argued.
"And that gives you the right to tear her to pieces, and then laugh at her?"
"Yes." Draco stated, and turned around and left. Blaise watched his friend leave, and with an other sigh, set off in the direction Ginny ran.
Blaise was the delineation of tall, dark, and handsome. He was about six foot, 3 inches with jet black hair, deep brown eyes, and dark, Italian skin. He had nice, muscular body as well, seeing as he plays beater on the Slytherin quiditch team.
I should go find her. Blaise sighed heading off in the direction Ginny ran. He had always kind of liked the little Gryffindor.
~*~*~
Ginny picked herself off the floor, and walked over to the sinks to wash her hands. She looked awful. Her face was swollen, her eyes blood shot, and her hair was all messed up, but she didn't care. She was going to be skinny. She had to be skinny. That was all the Gryffindor could think about.
After Ginny had washed her hands, she walked out of the bathroom and jumped when she heard a voice right next to her.
"And I thought Draco took a long time in the bathroom." Blaise said leaning against the wall next to the bathroom door.
"What do you want Zabini?" Ginny said sighing. She was tired of being insulted at the moment.
"Just wanted to know if you were alright, is all."
"Since when do you care?" Ginny asked, in utter shock and disbelief.
"I've always cared." Blaise said simply. "And what Draco said crossed the line. You are definitely not fat."
"Don't play with me." Ginny said in a warning tone.
"I'm not. Have you looked in a mirror. You are really skinny, and really pretty." The Slytherin said sincerely.
"No I'm not. Draco was right. And I'm definitely not pretty. Anna is pretty. Not me."
"I would have to disagree. Yes, Anna is hot. But not the same beautiful as you. You have a natural beauty, that she doesn't have." Blaise said trying to make her understand.
"Whatever. I know you're lying so why don't you just fuck off." Ginny said finally losing her temper.
"Fine." Blaise said turning on his heel. "I'm not giving up though.
What was it with that stupid Blaise Zabini? He was infuriating, and the nerve of him to lie right to her face like that! Everyone, including her, knew she wasn't beautiful. Ugh! Ginny wondered, pacing back and forth in her room, later that night. And what did he mean by the, 'I'm not giving up' crap? Maybe I'll just punch him in the kidneys every time he says something like that. That would feel good, and it would be fun. Yeah I like that idea. Or maybe I will just knee him in the ba-
Her thoughts where interrupted when Anna walked in the room with a wistful smile on her face."Ginny, he is so wonderful." Anna sighed.
"What happened?" Ginny asked, knowing who her best friend was talking about.
"Oh nothing really. We just studied in the library together."
"Wait. You were with a guy. That you like. And just studied? I don't believe it." Ginny was astounded. Her dear friend did not study with guys. She studied guys.
"Well, there is a first time for everything." Anna said, glazed look in her eyes. She snapped herself out of the daydream she was most likely having, "I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is Hogsmeade and I want to get up extra early to make sure I look perfect."
Ginny sighed, and walked out of the room, Not ready to go to bed yet.
When she reached the common room, the redhead searched for anybody she could talk to. When she found no one she walked over to an armchair in front of the fire, and sat down with her legs dangling over the arm of the chair.
"What do you want?" Ginny jumped hearing this unexpected voice.
"Oh, Harry. I didn't see you there." The redhead said clutching her pounding heart.
"Sure you didn't." Harry said in voice cold as ice.
"Harry, why do you hate me so much?" Ginny said in a timid voice.
"Because you're an annoying, ugly, fat girl who does nothing but bother the shit out of me." Harry didn't even look at her.
"But, What did I do to you?" She asked, tears rising in her eyes.
"I'm not even going to waste my breathe talking to you." Ginny stood up, and walked, with as much dignity she could muster, to the portrait hole and left the common room. Once she was in the halls she dashed off towards the astronomy tower. It was the tallest point of the castle, and her favorite place to sit alone.
When she got there she opened the door quietly and stepped outside into the marvelous moon light. There were no clouds, and the stars were shinning extra bright. It was beautiful.
Nothing could ruin this. Ginny thought to herself, with a small smile playing at her lips. Never mind. She thought when she heard the door open.
"Oh sorry. Didn't know someone was out here." Said a familiar voice.
"Blaise?" Ginny said, surprised.
"Since when do you call me Blaise?" He asked, equally surprised.
"When you started apologizing to me apparently."
"Fair enough. So whatcha doing out here?" Blaise asked, changing the subject.
"It's my favorite place at night."
"Mine too." Blaise said, only slightly surprised.
"Why are you here?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Need to think. Best place to do so." The Slytherin answered truthfully.
"What are you thinking about?"
"This and that. Nothing truly special."
"Hmmmm"
"Why are you here?"
"Why do you care?"
"You asked me, I answered. Now it's you're turn." Blaise stated.
"Alright. Certain people were being assholes, and making me feel shitty, so I had to get out of Gryffindor tower."
"Harry?"
"How did you know?" Ginny asked surprised.
"I'm more observant than you seem to think."
"Obviously."
"What did he say?
"Oh nothing special, just that I was fat, ugly, annoying, and I bothered the shit out of him." Ginny said moving her head into some shadows, so Blaise couldn't see the tears filling her eyes.
"What an Asshole! I'll beat him up for you, if you want me to."
"No, It's fine."
"It is not fine! You can't let people walk all over you and make you feel worthless. It's not right." Blaise said, taking a step closer to Ginny.
"Why do you care so much?" Ginny asked tilting her head to the side, as if that would help her figure him out.
"I don't know. I just do. I can't explain it. I-I guess I just feel really protective of you." Blaise said scrubbing his fingers through his hair.
"But, Why?"
"I don't know. I just don't, alright?"
"Alright." Ginny said even more confused then she was before.
"I'm going to bed. You should to. It's well past curfew." Blaise advised as he walked back to the door.
Ginny knew he was right, But waited a good two minutes before heading back to Gryffindor tower.
That was....interesting. He seemed so, civil. That definitely isn't proper conduct for a Slytherin. What the fuck is going on? Ginny kept the thought flow going until she reached her bed. Once she laid down, she realized just how tired she was, and fell straight to sleep.
