I'm chubby .

I am seven years old and do not understand why my mother angry twists his mouth and says, two pieces of cake would be enough. I should also think of the others and finally learn to moderate me. The mothers of my guests look at me and nod, or have their heads facing each other and whispering to each other. Today we are celebrating my birthday, up just yet I thought today I should everything . Cake and eat as much as I want. Finally, it is my cake. My day.
I have no idea that everything revolves around my body, my weight.

are the evening, when my guests have already gone, Daddy comes home from work. Still in the hallway, he spread out his arms and I'm running with a joyful shout to him, Hugging his neck. Daddy wishes me a happy birthday, tells me he loves me. served at dinner him my mother a piece of birthday cake for dessert. Daddy pulls me closer to my chair towards her, pressed me a second fork in hand. My mother complains I have gorged myself all day, but Daddy ignored her evil eye, and later, as we have plastered the cake together, he carries me piggyback to my room and says of a realm that was created entirely out of chocolate and is ruled by a princess named Millicent.

Daddy loves me. Not my body, not my Weight.

I'm fat

. I sit in my house at Hogwarts table and invite me greedy my plate full. Pansy from our year and laughs at my gluttony, but my stomach growls, I do not see why I should not believe my hunger. During I chew, I try in vain to get my mother's voice from the head. If I even think of chocolate

, I instantly hear reproachful words.

Look at your sister! Want to be because not as slim as Annette?

In your arms you can not allow you to short sleeves!

Millicent leg, alerted to the fork in hand!

In the holidays I'm always on a diet. For every bite I first need the blessing of my mother, comes a day at the crack of dawn a muscle-bound woman on our property and exercises required of me, after carrying me hours later, everything hurts. My mother can not figure it out, so I still lose little weight, she does not know that my Dad served, contrary to its rules real food, if you look away. Dad says, as long as he lives, he can not, that I starve against my will.

What I like about the holiday weight lose, I'm on it back to Hogwarts soon. I remember as a small child to have been a whirlwind, constantly moving, constantly the next adventure on the trail. Today I tarry me after dinner, as usual, look into the dorm and let me again when the alarm rings. It's not as if I would take care of Pansy's mockery of my slightly overweight, and I want him to listen to not only. So I'm lying in my bed, pulled the curtains, and do nothing. Nothing, except to wonder why no one has invited me to the Yule Ball.

I'm fat.

why I was alone on the ball since the last task of the Triwizard Tournament, I received no more letters from my father. In the summer vacation a month later, he ignored me and was largely silent during the dinner. Once, when it all but I was dessert, I threw him across the table a view seeking help, hoping he would again be the Dad I know that Dad let me not hunger ld sst. Instead, he snapped at me and said I should finally stop me constantly to stuff full. 'm

Now that I dressed only in underwear in front of my mirror, I do not understand why I have missed for so long. I've become so fat that I do not even love my own father. Fat. Ugly. Repulsive. I turn with disgust from the sight of my reflection, but it must look like in the next second again. The are you think, Millicent, up from it and accept that no one is willing the to love.

Or do something about it.

do something about it. I eat nothing all day, only drink water. In the evening I lie in my bed and I'm proud. On my performance, my control. I can do that I cease to be weak, listen to, eat. Soon I will be thin and beautiful, desirable, lovable, I need only hold on. This is worth the hungry, right? Or?

Yes, of course,

course. Everyone needs love, everybody wants to be loved. It's worth fighting for. I am strong. Well after midnight, I would still be awake in bed and capitulate. I sneak into the kitchen to tear packaging, pure stuffing food into me, but do not really taste. Shame about my weakness I get tears in my eyes, I chew and swallow, eat more and more.

steps.

I think I'm done, I'm satisfied, but my body reacts further, grabs food to be running, so in my bedroom, right into the bathroom. Prior to the toilet I go eat, can not stop, rigid while hypnotized on the water in the bowl. A thought comes to me confused, as covered in fog. Daphne Greengrass pukes, everyone in our dorm talking about it. She stuffs the food at first and then the finger in the throat. Daphne is not skinny, but definitely not fat or even fat. And she has a boyfriend. Daphne is loved.

When I put two fingers in the neck, I have no breath. It is unpleasant, is the punishment for the weakness

my body is something that I deserve. My face is hot, again I get tears in my eyes. Saliva flowing from my mouth, trickling down into the bowl, and when at length increases, the first chewed food from my stomach, I feel as if I would choke you. Am I dying? I continued to vomit, do not understand as Daphne creates almost no noise, why is it so easy and so hard for me.

But I'm starting to learn the tricks.

succeed In time, I am more and more, all day long to eat. I do it but then in huge quantities, and without tasting. This drink a certain amount of water helps, carbonated drinks are even better. I stuff things like chocolate should be the last into me so that my body has no time to exploit it, granular stuff like rice, I leave all the same finger. Being on the scales are slowly being forced. Any weight loss is acknowledged with a nod, any increase is like the apocalypse. Grimly, I exercise, drink ice water in quantities that weigh down my meals and count up the calories.

Too much. Not enough.

What in the world is going on, Voldemort, the war, the destruction ceases to interest me. My appetite is gone, I eat only because I yearn for the feeling that comes after puking on me. Peace. Peace. A moment of complete emptiness.

before it starts again from scratch.

I look at a closet full of clothes in size 34 and am disgusted. My clothes seem huge, are huge. I'm still fat, still not perfect. I want to be carried by the wind, will be free. What others are saying is, I do not care. You are wrong. I do not understand because they are, as I was before. Weak. Without control over their own bodies.

I'm 25 when I meet after shopping Daphne Greengrass. She has become fat, a child with his arms. Aghast I ask her what happened to her. She pulls the surprised eyebrows up, says: nothing. I am happy . Then it begins at length to talk of how great her husband how much he loves her, how beautiful runs their lives. I stare only at her round face, think of the many purchased foods that I want to eat and vomit.

Two hours later I stare in fascination at the bright red streaks of blood in my vomit. What is it? No matter. It wants more out of me, I'm not done yet. While my fingers wander back into my throat, I am ashamed of Daphne's weakness. How could she just give up? What happened to her? She wore no ring on my finger, I believe her not want them happily married and has a husband who loves her. Who could love the ? Her ass was huge, I did not even really their clavicles. Maybe she is ashamed also lied and why.

Suddenly there is more blood. Dark.

pain everywhere.

My body turns one last time against me.

It's just a dream

whispers their awareness gently.

Fear not. It's over.

long gone.

Although Cho Chang knows that it is really true that she has nothing to fear now, swells the fear in their sleeping, constantly rising and falling chest, chase small and large waves of pain through her body. If it's long since gone - the panic, fear, feelings of guilt - why it is here and can not get away, why do they see their own self here?

The dreams are routine for you says her consciousness. you fall asleep and remember. You wake up and shielded from anything that hurts you.

But no water, no water please ... There is always water.

No ... I do not want ... No water ... Not this time, please ...

sees in a dream to Cho as a five year old with chubby cheeks and raven black hair that gives her only up to the chin. Her mother found because Cho has always been a tomboy, that it is so the most practical and hopes her daughter would get caught up in this way, not as often thorny branches and the like. Cho himself, it is not care how she looks, as long as they only go freely on their voyages of discovery and the clothes may get dirty. With the wind to run is so wonderfully fresh, it makes it easy, lets them feel like they could arms wide open and can take flight. Simply fly only.

Fort , thinks the sleeping Cho. Far

.

"May I borrow your broom?" Cho asks six scribbles and squiggles while bored in her notebook. She understands that reading and writing is important that they later need to be very common, even at Hogwarts, though she felt while learning nothing but boredom. Rather they would be outside, where the sun is high in the sky and everything appeared in glistening bright light.

your teacher, the elder brother of her mother, she smiled across the table to put away and tilted his head thoughtfully. "Are not you too young to handle a broom for adults?"

"No, I can!" Cho assured him quickly. Perhaps this can negotiate with him, Uncle Ryo has always been less strict than their parents. Cho has missed him last year. His son, Yonas Cho's little cousin, died before his first birthday and Uncle Ryo's marriage was then finally destroy them. I miss him so. Miss it yet?

But now Uncle Ryo with her and Cho former teacher, a Muggle woman from the city that has always wondered about the lack of electricity in the house of Chang's remains, with its dusty books and finally the horn-rimmed glasses away from her. There is nothing that Cho could not learn from Uncle Ryo. He is smart, has come a long way in his life, and the best Christmas ever come of it. Cho was incredibly glad when Uncle Ryo one morning, after so long a time had not heard of can suddenly at the door stood up and asked if he could rejoin their lives. What exactly he meant, Cho did not understand, but probably they would also learn.

"I'm not sure ..." Uncle Ryo

tapping with the pen to his chin. "Do you know who wants to fly with a broom, must be responsible. So high in the sky it can be quickly dangerous, and if you fall, it is also your last fall. "

" I am "responsible, insists Cho.

"Really?" Uncle Ryo pulls her diary in itself and disappointed sighs. "You've still done nothing about it! to paint Cho, donuts and flowers, though you shall learn it, does not testify

of responsibility. Who wants to fly, be prepared to do something about it. "

Cho sulks for a while, eventually they reluctantly replaced the tasks. When she sets the last point and her head is already booming right, laughs Uncle Ryo and taking out piggyback into the garden, where his broom is. They organize a race to the field behind the forest, Cho wins, of course, and Uncle Ryo puts some simple magic of the area, so they remain unseen.

"Rear or Front? Web's of you. "

" Forward, "says Cho immediately and enthusiastically in front of Uncle Ryo climbs to the broomstick. Front seating is much better, because you have the feeling that one controls the broom alone, has control over him.

"Good decision!" Replied Uncle Ryo with another laugh, and then they lift off the ground and fly into the air and fly, fly, fly, are shared freely and independently of the world.

understand By the time Cho, that flying their reward for ambition and hard work is. More concentrated it solves the tasks that included concentrated reads texts with genuine interest, being presented with the Muggle children her age in school. Soon they will do to every birthday only books, the fictional life on the other decorate their own in daydreams and empty gaps that Cho has created himself to fill.

The dream changed.

not the water! Not!

darkness blackness everywhere, Cho will be wrapped like this, she hears nothing, not even her own screams. Fluid filling her lungs, her throat is burning, fire, it feels like stinging fire, the hurt chasing down her windpipe, exploded in her chest. It proposes with his arms around, looking desperately for support with the hands, according to an output, an end.

A weight.

It pulls down her, tugging at her leg. It's like one last fall, you know, the impact will be final, is preparing on the few seconds stretching into infinity, everything is slow, tough, is progressing not know too much space to very afraid.

it drawn up?

deterred Nine-year old dream of Cho in her sleep hoch. Kerzengerade sitzt sie in ihrem Bett, blickt panisch um sich. Dass er
da ist, steht ausser Frage, doch ihre Augen weigern sich, ihn zu erkennen, sehen an ihm vorbei, durch ihn hindurch. Seine Finger streicheln über ihre Stirn, ihre Wangen, hinunter zu ihrem Kinn. Sie blendet die federleichten Berührungen aus, konzentriert sich auf ihre Lungen, die frei sind, mit Sauerstoff, nicht Wasser gefüllt.

 

Atmen.

 

Es wird vorbeigehen, sie muss nur weiteratmen, ein und aus. Atmen ist leicht. Man erblickt das Licht der Welt und tut es. Es ist natürlich. Normal. Chos Eltern tun es doch also, where they are today, on this feast of her old friends. And you can breathe when traveling on some weekends for two, taking time for oneself alone to complete, and Cho to leave home because they know can breathe Cho, do not listen to it. Cho goes to sleep no more, she does so on nights like this, never, after she woke up only once. Breathing stops them. Although it is so easy, but natural and normal, and do it all, sometimes it's just nearly impossible anyway, and if Cho is not on night, they might suddenly forget to breathe. When the first sun rays in her room and seem

he no longer stands by her bed, she is relieved and what she still felt in the darkness of oppression falls abruptly away from her.

uncle gives Ryo her that morning her first broom. Cho, fly to the sun provides only a little warm glow and her body was washed away by the wind.

with the slump the next night, the dream changed again.

"That's mean!" Shouts Cho. Her face is very red, thick tears swell in her eyes. added "This is my paddling is,"

Her mother wrapped an arm around the back of Cho, prevents them from across the lawn in the garden to run and throw themselves into the empty pool. Cho, it simply does not understand. It's summer, it is hot. She loves her pool, loves to splash the water to it in all directions. Why do you push the air from the father's pool? Why take it away from her parents?

"Stop, Daddy!" Shouts Cho further.

Bring it away , thinks the sleeping Cho. Bring it away and never brings it out again

.

noted the age of six years Cho for the first time that the simplest things can be simultaneously the most difficult. She wears a pink swimsuit, uncle Ryo has brought her today. Delighted with the gift, she would be immediately ran to her room, from her flowery summer dress out and slipped inside the swimsuit. She has worn since the summer two years ago, no one, not even one possessed. Last week she Uncle Ryo, as he has corrected their addition problems solved, it tells how much she would learn to swim, like the other children in the neighboring town. First, he has said nothing to say to nothing more, but ultimately it is Cho still managed to elicit from him the required promise. Uncle Ryo can not refuse her anything.

"This feels funny," she chatters happily and sweeps his hands over the fabric that is stretched over her belly. "Is that in your Bathing suit like that? "

uncle Ryo has her arms tightly folded across his chest and does not see them, but the glittering surface of the tiny pond in front of them. "No, my swimsuit is made of another material. Are you sure you want me to teach you to swim? "

" Yes, "With a cheer Cho runs to the pond, stopped only when the water until it reaches to the knees. Under the bright sun the water during the day is warm, yet still remained cool as the evening air and is therefore a welcome refreshment. Cho had already observed many Muggle children in how they have spent itself in the pond and is excited about the prospect of soon no longer be just on the edge and watch. "Come at last!"

This is not the uncle Ryo, Cho knows. His steps are slow, after every second he stops, cocks his head, rubbing his ear to the shoulder. Cho may be just ever so resist to laugh at him. If he is the courageous, and she is the timid, he laughs not finally.

But over Short or Long Cho has still overcome and jumped over a shadow.

uncle Ryo not, he stands six feet in front of the pond.

"If I am to teach you how to swim, it's better, I'll stay right here," he's lying. Cho acknowledges three things that Uncle Ryo has issued just actually a real, real lie. His trembling had stopped, his body is rigid and motionless as a stone pillar. His voice is stiff, stuck up, not like a man. And she has already seen how other children have been taught to swim. "No, I do not lie," said Ryo uncle with the rigid, snooty voice, with the rigid body motion loose.

"Are you afraid?"

"no."

"You're lying again."

And you cried. Many, salty tears. And to make you stop, I did the only thing I could. Breathe in and out.

Someone laughs. Perhaps it is the part of Cho, she has buried the past few years more and more, by freedom, escape, wind in her hair, her face, empty, and then alternatively filled gaps.

And how Cho realizes over time that flies their reward for hard work and ambition, it also realizes that his affection for Ryo uncle and meeting all their needs will also be a reward that everything has its praises.

breathing becomes a challenge.

"Your hair is just beautiful," Uncle Ryo said quietly, cutting off the nearly seven years Cho strand by strand of shoulder-length hair. "That makes flying easier. Better and better, I promise you. You want it too, right? "

Cho looks at the mirror opposite her, fixed the image of their own eyes.

Yes, "replied them because they know it is what want to hear Uncle Ryo. Because \u0026lt;during the days without teaching a 'yes, a' no 'in the right places, the same as hard work and ambition.

"And when your mother asks, you tell her that it was your idea, right? The fact that you have asked me that it was your decision. "

" Yes. "

" You will not forget it to tell her the same way? "

"no."

And it ceases to carry in summer dresses, for Uncle Ryo says, with a pair of trousers and a simple T-shirt can be better and fly better. Cho's parents go on the weekends and more often to the countryside or in exciting cities, for Uncle Ryo is still there and take care that Cho continues to breathe. For her next essay looks for Cho particularly fitting words for their descriptions, because Ryo uncle promised her that if it exceeds his expectations, he brings her at last, how to Quidditch playing.

He laughs amused by the first paragraph, has wet eyes in the second, and in the end he turns away in his chair and stifled a sob with his hand.

Cho wrote of how her views on the drowning.

When she chases hours later on her own broom behind the Golden Snitch, it focuses solely on that shiny to get hold of something to catch it, the straightening reflexes suck on the metal with the eyes , the moment to preserve deep in her where she only has access, for today, for tomorrow, for every time their breathing difficult, and they will drown in dreams.

The crying woke up

whispers Cho Bewusstein.

The next morning you did not already know what you have heard at night.

The four year old Cho is with half-closed eyes wrapped around her bed, tired with the poor their act together ceilings. The door to her room is partially open, which she always does, can not sleep otherwise Cho.

"were next ... ... have been arguing ..." A sob. It is from her mother, Cho detects sluggish. "... Have not seen it ... drowned in her presence ..."

the last time the dream changed.

No water ... not the pond ...

uncle Ryo dismisses Cho, is angry because she did not immediately obeys. She reaches for his cloak, is dragged from him by the light grassy ground towards the pond. Again and again cries uncle Ryo, Cho should finally disappear. He wades into the pond does not hesitate, is determined and suddenly seems to have no fear. Cho absorbs water, hat, pants, but still holds fast to Uncle Ryo's cloak.

It feels right.

holds Suddenly Uncle Ryo aimed his wand in his hand, him on his own chest. Two flashes of light. Uncle Ryo falls backward, Cho is from his body, the drives do not they just fall down into the water until mud down to the bottom. Your recurring dreams of drowning were bad.

The reality is worse. breathe

For Cho wants fights, but is only a thin, ten year old girl who is buried under the weight of a grown man. She is not ready for this end that comes closer with every second, every second is terrible.

But I had Fortunately

thinks the sleeping Cho bitter.

you did not drown. Does it still made it. She lives.

And she flies with the wind tried, as a member of a unit to capture the Golden Snitch, feels free in life, the oppressive narrowness displaced in their dreams.
