Not the Same

Chapter Two- Ron's P.O.V.

She's doing it again. It's 4th year all over. This is worse though. Before, she wasn't drawing nearly as much blood. I began to drag her down too Madame Pomfrey, but she struggled and tried to bargain. I love her. She knows that. We've been dating since last year, when we got alone in the Room of Requirement, I told her how I felt. Last time she did it, it was because Krum had shattered her heart. They had dated for a couple of weeks, and then she found him snogging Cho Chang. I steered her over to the side of the hall.

"'Mione." I said softly.

"R-Ron....I-I'm sorry...." She said between sobs. "I w-won't do it a-again. I p-promise."

"Hermione Jean Granger! That's what you told me the last time you harmed yourself! How could I believe you if you went and did it again?"

"Oh Ron, I don't even know..."

"'Mione, I'm going to give you another chance okay? I don't enjoy seeing my love like this. Harming herself because she doesn't feel good enough! You're all I need! You're more than I need.....you're perfect! No one's perfect of course so you're my perfect imperfection!"

She blushed slightly at that, and her sobs turned to sniffles. I accidentally grabbed her wrist, rewarding me with a whimper of pain from her. I brought her back into the common room and made sure my dormitory was empty. I brought her up and told her to show me her arms and legs. She blushed slightly at this, but began to peel her garments, one by one. I looked at her scars. The old and new. I felt myself begin to cry. I kissed her scars and told her that she was beautiful, but the scars were not. They didn't make her look ugly, but what they stood for were the ugliest things. I kissed her on the forehead when she was done dressing, and sent her to her dormitory.

I really worry about her.
