Hey anonymous readers... plan on reviewing? No... alright... fine. After this I HAD BETTER GET AT LEAST ONE ANGRY RANT!...besides my own...

"You have contracted Herpes simplex one." He says it slow. As if testing me for another bombshell.

That doesn't make sense.

"What?"

"Herpes. Cold sores. Usually around the mouth but it can happen in your vaginal and anus area too." He takes my hand in his, I yank it back, stand up, and start dressing. I don't even know where I'm going. I just need to breathe. I need to get out and this happily sterile room is making me sick. I feel nauseous. I pull up my pants quickly and run out the door hearing Blaise shout after me but I do not dare listen.

Sprinting out the doors of the office I take the stairs nearly falling down them. I fly out of Saint Mungo's front doors and grab my broom and jolt myself into the sky flying as fast as I can. If I can get away from here it can not be true.

I don't know where to go. I need a place to stay. Luckily after the match with Puddlemere United I got a bonus of £ 73,499. That can put me in a nice apartment for several months. Years if i am careful.

First though I need to talk to someone.

I land near Hermiones' brick cabin. Its quite like her. Brown bricks with light blue shutters. It is a perfect first house for her. She has two rooms one is the master bedroom the other is stacked floor to ceiling with books.

I use the spare key that she keeps under the mat. Very original. I walk in quietly and see the bushy haired girl asleep on her couch, book sliding slowly off her lap and her head dangling at an awkward position. Walking up to her I grab the book off her lap, move her legs to the side, sit beside her and shake her shoulder gently.

She starts to shift and sit up. Looking at me she smiles slightly and then looks around confused.

"What time is it?" She rubs her eyes.

"A little after 2 pm." Tears start forming in my eyes. I feel so incredibly guilty.

"Thank goodness I thought I had slept the day away. How was your match with Piddlepuddle? Oh my goodness Gin, was it that terrible?" She says as she notices my tears.

I try to laugh but it comes out more of a sob. I press my fist to my lips trying to stifle my hysterical laughter that is about to erupt. Hermione is running her hand over my back but I don't want her to touch me. I don't want anyone to ever again. I'm dirty.

I jerk away from her and curl in on myself. She got up suddenly and went into the kitchen only to return moments later with a tray with tea and cookies on top.

"Talk to me Gin. You know I am here for you." Her big brown eyes are making me feel so guilty. God why did I have to have such a fantastic best friend?

Taking a big breath I close my eyes and explain everything. Every single detail. Everything. She sits there and listens silently, her eyes filling with compassion and finally, after I finish, anger.

She stands and starts her fireplace.

"Come on. Let's go back to Saint Mungo's." She has her hands on her hips and a look that could put my mother to shame.

"But..." I stand slowly.

"It didn't sound like he was finished speaking and there may be more you need to know. Put on your big girl panties and face it. It might be hard sweety but you can't run from your problems, now lets go." She said as she grabbed a handful of flu powder and stepped towards the fire. Reluctantly I followed. She tossed the flu powder and we stepped out into Saint Mungo's waiting area.

We walk into the Gyno office to see Blaise standing there talking to the receptionist, who sees us and points. He turns and smiles at us and walks toward us.

"Hello lovely ladies. I was wondering when you would come back. I was just telling Helena over there that if you appeared again to alert me immediately. Which she did. Let's head back to my office. Is Ms Granger accompanying you?"

"Yes she is and she can't stop me." Mione grins at me as I nod my head.

We are back in the patient room, me sitting on the table; fully clothed this time, Hermione in a chair beside me and Blaise in his giant this-is-an-office-chair-but-i-am-a-doctor-so-this-is-professional-doctor-chair chair.

"Now if there are no more interruptions from you this time I'd love to just get this over with. Now the type of herpes you were diagnosed with will have much less flare ups than simplex two. The first flare up you will have will be the most painful and you will need a lot of rest. This one will be coming in eight to ten days. It will last approximately two weeks. Ill be honest. You won't want to move eat sleep or breath. Urination will cause burning. Having a bowel movement will burn and pop the sores that you will have. Those will be like blisters. They will leave scars the first time. Would you like some water?"

I guess I am showing some kind of emotion because Mione is running circles over the back of my hand with her thumb. I shake my head.

"Ok. If you're sure you are ok. People can have perfectly normal lives. This isn't a death threat. One in five women have a type of herpes. You will just have to cast a spell to stop flare ups but it isn't always a guarantee sometimes you just can't prevent it. You may feel it coming, you may feel the beginning of a pimple forming on your lip, then is the time to cast the spell. You may have more flare ups in times of stress. Some people have used mermaid vomit as a soothing treatment on affected areas. Most people don't like to because, well, it's vomit. Have great physical relationships and get married are perfectly safe for your partner if you are careful. Along with having a perfectly normal pregnancy. Which brings me to my next point. Ginny you are in the process of being pregnant. Fertilization of an ovary takes two to three days and you will be pregnant by this time tomorrow. If you are unwilling to have this baby you can come in tomorrow and I can remove the sperm."
