CHAPTER IV

Something new had taken place in the library. Something so few had thought even possible. Hermione Granger had fallen asleep in the library. It was still early. Only just after lunch and yet there she sat, head resting on the open book she had been taking notes out of. Two people hid behind a bookshelf watching her sleep. One redhead girl with dark circles under her eyes and one dark haired boy with a troubled look upon his face.

Hermione's gentle breathing seemed to relax her two best friends though, as they watched her sleep. After a few more moments of making sure that Hermione was okay, Harry and Ginny crept out of the library and down to the lake outside. Once there, they continued the usual conversation.

"She had another nightmare last night." Ginny said quietly. Answering Harry's question before he had to ask it.

"I figured she did." Harry replied. "I don't know what to do to help her. It's been a month now we've been back at school and she's more tired than ever."

"I know Harry. I just wish she would tell us what's going on." Ginny said.

"Is she still feeling sick?" Harry asked.

"Yes. I'm dragging her butt down to the hospital wing after classes today." Ginny answered. Noticing the look on his face she cut him off before he could say anything more. "If you even try to skip your divination class she'll murder you before you could even make it into the same hallway as the Hospital Wing. Then how will you know if she's sick or not?"

Knowing that she was right, Harry nodded his head in agreement. Though he believed Hermione was more important than classes, Hermione herself didn't agree with him on that. He would just have to wait.

HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG

"Granger. Granger wake up." drawled a voice.

Rubbing her sleep encrusted eyes she glanced up annoyed at whoever had woken her up. She had finally gotten to have some sleep without and nightmares of life at home when she had to wake up to the voice of …

"Malfoy." Hermione said. "What do you want?"

"I just talked to Dumbledore he wants us to plan something for Halloween." Malfoy answered.

"Halloween?" Hermione asked.

"Are you deaf? Yes Granger. Halloween." He replied annoyed

"No I am not deaf Malfoy." idiot. "Does he know Halloween is just two weeks away?"

"Course not Granger. Now what are we gonna do.? He wants to announce whatever were gonna being doing tonight at dinner."

"WHAT?! TONIGHT?! Is he crazy?? That's not enough time." Hermione said frantically.

"I know Granger. I do have a brain you know. Lets just have a formal ball or something like it. Be easier than planning something huge." Malfoy suggested.

Finally beginning to calm down, Hermione answered. "Yea, that's a good idea. But lets make it a masquerade just to spice it up a bit."

"Fine. I'll tell Snape to say something to Dumbledore." Malfoy replied. As he got up to leave.

"Okay and lets meet back here tomorrow after lunch with a list of ideas to start off our planning." Hermione told him.

Malfoy nodded and walked away. A somewhat good conversation over with. He did as he was told to by his parents. Be nice, we need their help they said.

Hermione however was shocked by this whole thing. Dumbledore has officially lost his mind, and now Malfoy must be under the imperius curse or something because he was civil to a mud blood!!

Before she could even begin to pull out a quill and some more parchment to start the list if ideas Ginny showed up.

"Lets go." Ginny said, while grabbing Hermione's arm.

"And where exactly are we going." Hermione asked as she stood up to follow Ginny.

"To the Hospital Wing to see whats wrong with you." Ginny answered simply.

Pulling arm out of Ginny's grasp she said, "No were not. I am fine and don't need to go see Madam Promfrey."

"You are going and that is final Hermione Granger." Ginny replied with a firm voice.

"I'd like to see you make me." Hermione said. Ginny wouldn't actually make me. Would she?

Ginny was rolling up her sleeves with a determined look on her face. The red head did not back down from a challenge.

HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG

"Ginny! Let go of me this instance! I said let go!" A very annoyed Hermione Granger said to the taller red head. Hermione did everything she could do to get away from Ginny. She yelled at her, threatened her, kicked her, hit her, and eventually refused to walk any further.

Despite her attempts Ginny did not stop. She currently still held Hermione's hand in her own as she dragged Hermione on the floor all the way to the Hospital Wing.

When I told Harry earlier that I was going to drag Hermione's butt all the way down to the Hospital Wing I didn't think I was going to actually have to drag her butt down there. Pausing to catch her breath she looked down to the floor to see a very red and very dirty Hermione glaring at her. Oh Shit!! She's gonna kill me! If I just get to the Hospital Wing I'll be safe.

And with that Ginny took of sprinting down the hall to the Hospital Wing with a kicking and screaming Hermione being dragged behind her.

HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG

"Madam Promfrey! Madam Promfrey!" screamed a terrified Ginny.

They had made it to the Hospital Wing alive, but Ginny had made the mistake of letting go of Hermione. Once free Hermione whipped out her wand and pointed it straight at Ginny. Words were not needed to convey just how angry Hermione was. The look in her eyes were a million time more than enough.

Where is Madam Promfrey?! I don't want to die yet! Maybe, Maybe I shouldn't have dragged her the whole way down the hall and down those stairs. Oh No!!

"MADAM PROMFREY !!" Ginny screamed one last time.

"Miss. Weasley! What is all of this yelling about. I was in my office talking to Professor Sprout only to be disturbed by your unnecessary hollering. And put your wand away Miss. Granger. There will be no fighting in my Hospital Wing do you understand?"

Ginny and Hermione nodded their heads.

"Now as to what may I ask are you here for?" asked Madam Promfrey.

"Hermione hasn't been feeling to well lately." Ginny answered.

Looking to Hermione, Ginny and Madam Promfrey waited for her to elaborate a bit more. A few minutes passed and nothing was said. Annoyed Ginny answered again for Hermione.

"She hasn't slept much in since we got back and she's been throwing up a lot for almost a month. She refused to get it checked out and I had to drag her all the way over here. Literally."

Madam Promfrey nodded her head in understanding. That was what all the yelling was about. Hermione was the type of person to take care of others first before herself. And when the time came to deal with herself she kept it to herself not wanting to be a burden upon others. Madam Promfrey would know. She was that kind of person herself. Most Healers were in fact. Their urge to help others was what brought them so far.

"Yes well, just have a seat there Miss. Granger and I will be over there in a moment. Miss. Weasley you'll have to wait outside I'm afraid. You will be called in when I am done with the exam."

Ginny nodded and walked out while Hermione climbed onto the bed to wait for Madam Promfrey. The truth was Hermione already had an idea as to what was wrong with her. It wasn't all that hard to figure out. In fact she was surprised it hadn't happened earlier. More importantly the reason Hermione didn't want to go the Hospital wing was because she was terrified of the truth. She already knew yet, until it was confirmed by someone else there was still that small chance, that one possibility that it might not be true.

Oh and what would Ginny think of her if it was true. What would Harry think? Most likely they'd be more disgusted by her than they were of Ronald. And even if they weren't it wasn't right for them to have to worry about her, not with all the problems with Ron, the Order, and Voldemort. They had too much on their plate as it was.

All of these thoughts soared through Hermione's mind as she waited for Madam Promfrey to return.

HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG

An hour and tons of wand waves later Madam Promfrey just stared at Hermione. She had started off simple with a few basic spells to check for stress and so forth. But the results to those were off the charts. She was so stressed it was a miracle the girl hasn't had a heart attack. And her muscles were so strained, too strained for something as school especially after only being back a month.

More spells and blood tests were done and what she found both shocked and scared her. So many bruises, broken bones, internal bleeding, malnutrition, trauma, it went on and on and it never seemed to stop there. She found scars from long-term damage done some years ago. And then there were others that were more recent.

And to throw a cherry on top of it all, Hermione Granger was pregnant.
