Loving the Enemy

Chapter 5

Hermonie made her way up to Hogwarts, she was trying to get to the dinning hall before it filled up, she wanted to get a good seat, hopefully next to her friends. Hermonie was trying to figure out what she was going to say to Ron and Harry.

Hopefully they aren't to angry, Hermonie thought. I'll apologize and that will be that end of it she thought. She was walking fast now just pushing her way through all of the other students who just happened to be in her way, she was definitely not in the mood to be polite today.

While pushing her way through other students a certain slytherin caught her gaze, which she quickly averted and then her thoughts were directed elsewhere. She thought about what Malfoy said, she wondered if he was serious about his offer. It would be nice to tell someone she thought, she was so tired of keeping this secret. She was so tired of life; she was always tired and so drained of energy. She couldn't sleep anymore, she was plagued by nightmares, she was scared too sleep. And she hardly ate anything anymore, food was so tasteless now, she couldn't stand it anymore. Over the summer she had tried to kill herself over the summer, swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills, but that bastard had come and saved her life.

But Hermonie had another problem; she had a secret addiction, a very serious addiction. She wondered if could tell Malfoy about that. Would her think she was a freak, she couldn't tell anyone about that, no one would understand.

Hermonie finally made her way through all the other students to the entrance of the dining hall, where the year would begin and all the first years would be placed into their houses.

She saw Ron and Harry sitting down. She ran up to them. "Listen Ron, I'm so sorry about earlier I didn't mean it, I'm just tired and have a lot on my mind, that's all. I didn't mean to snap, forgive me?"

"Of course Hermonie, I was just worried about you is all, I didn't mean to push you." Ron said, but he still looked extremely concerned. "Thanks Ron" Hermonie said, she was so relived. Ron told her to sit down and she did, right between Ron and Ginny.

"I can't wait to get some food in you Hermonie, you look like you haven't eaten a thing in weeks." Ginny said, looking over extremely emaciated friend. She's not to far off Hermonie thought.

Dumbledore started his little speech thing and Hermonie just tuned it out and went back to her thoughts. She started thinking about Malfoy again, she really wanted to know what happened to him over the summer. But then she would actually have to talk to him, which could be risky. But it was to late Malfoy was already entangled in Hermonie's thoughts and she was going to find out what his secret was.

AN: I just wanted to thank everyone for the reviews and support, so than you very much.
