Chapter 1
"Honey! Where's my formal cloak?" a blonde boy asked to his girlfriend.
"I don't know, did you look behind the tuxedo?" answer the asian girl.
"No, wait...here it's, thanks"
Draco Malfoy was leaving the bedroom to meet his girlfriend.
"I'm going to take longer, so, don't wait for me awake. Bye" he said in a hurry kissing her on the cheek and walking fast to the front door.
"Bye" said Cho Chang leaning against the wall with a sad tone on her voice.
Draco went up on his Jaguar and ran away to the Ministry of Magic. Draco was the Minister. They were living together on a department in London near the Diagon Alley. He had proposed to her two months ago during a dinner in a restaurant. So they were going to get married the next month.
While Cho was cleaning the bedroom she found papers that Draco had forgotten. So, she put her coat on, took the papers and went to the Ministry.
After she arrived, with a "Visitor" etiquette, she went with the secretary.
"Is Draco Malfoy free now?"
"Yes, he is, but he has a meeting in half an hour. Who are you?"
"I came to give him a couple of papers he had forgotten in the house"
"Oh, alright, he is in the fourth floor, office number 28"
"Ok, thankyou"
Cho went up the stairs and reached the office number 28. She opened the door.
"Draco, I bring you the p-"
Draco was hugging and kissing a girl.
"Draco?" When the girl turned around Cho could tell that was Hermione Granger "Hermione? Oh my G-" there were tears in Cho's eyes she tried to hide them "I just...brought you the papers you had forgotten in the house" and she ran off throwing the papers and the ring he had given to her two months ago. She went down the stairs as quickly as she could.
"Cho! Wait!" Draco called useless.
"Leaving already?" asked the secretary to her.
"Yes, thanks for you help"
"Of course"
And she left the confused secretary behind as she reached the phone cabin. When she was out, she couldn't believe what had happened. She had been with Draco since he finished his seventh year at Hogwarts. And they were ok, they had no problems, they were like...the perfect couple. Obviously he "worked" some extra hours, and now she new the reason of that extra time he spent in the office. She had written Harry a lot of letters and he had answered them since Cho finished the school. And on that letters Harry told her how perfect was the new relationship with Hermione.
"When he knows that she is seeing Draco, he will kill him" Cho was thinking as she walked to her house.
She bumped a lot of people, but only one talked to her.
"Cho? What happened?"
When she looked up a friendly face smiled at her. It was Harry.
"Hi, nothing important, nice to see you, Harry" and she kept walking.
But Harry didn't believed her, of course. After she left, he followed her. When he arrived she had already entered so he called to the door. After a minute she opened, still with tears.
"Ok, I'm not that stupid" he said.
Cho invited him in and made some cofee. Harry noticed there were two trunks in front of him.
"Where are you going?" he asked still looking to the equipment.
"To the Leaky Cauldron" said Cho between tears.
"What happened? Why are you leaving? Why don't you stay in Malfoy's house? An why are you crying?"
She showed him the finger where she used to wear the ring.
"Oh. You're not together anymore. That's ok, Malfoy's not a good person and you know that. What did he do this time? Let me guess...He came drunk last night? Mmm...He...he what?"
"He's with some other girl"
"When you were supposed to marry next month? That's ridiculous. How did that happened?" Harry was confused.
Cho told him what had happened since Draco left, and told Harry everything, well not everything, she didn't tell him about Hermione.
"So...did you see the girl's face?" Harry wanted to know.
"Yes, and then I left, I threw the papers and the ring"
"Who was she?"
Cho looked at Harry and lowered her eyes.
"Who?"
She didn't say a thing for a while. And then she said:
"Let's pack everything so I can go to the Leaky Cauldron"
"Cho, look at me, who was she? D-Do I know her?"
Cho looked up, but she didn't look for Harry's eyes and nodded.
"But-" Harry started but he couldn't finish because someone entered the room.
"Cho, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, please, put the ring and talk to me"
"Cho, we're sorry-, Harry?"
"Ok, ok, ok, calm down" Harry whispered to himself. And then turned his face to Cho "The girl...was her? Hermione?" said with his eyes closed, he opened them to see Cho.
She nodded.
"Oh, ok" Harry stayed calmed and quiet for a few moments "Hermione, we were supposed to get married, just as they, what happened to you? We..."
"Harry, I'm very sorry, I am, I didn't though..." Hermione was about to cry.
"No, it's obviously you didn't"
"Cho were are you going?" asked Draco.
"I'm leaving if you didn't noticed" Cho was upset, all this time, she has been used, but no more.
"Where?" asked he, confused.
"To the-" she started, but she was cut off by Harry.
"To my house, Hermione is obviously leaving" he looked to Hermione but she wasn't looking at him "I mean if it's not a problem to Cho, if she wants to...Do you?"
"No, I'll be at the Leaky Cauldron, I would be a bother for you"
"No, for me it's ok"
"Ok, if you want..." Cho was not very sure.
"Yes, of course" he looked at Draco and said "She's coming to my place".
"She's not going anywhere" Draco was upset, he didn't wanted Cho to leave. "She's staying. Right, Cho?" Draco looked at her.
"Excuse me? You have her, you don't want me here, you can have fun, like in the office"
Draco stared at her and then walked towards her with fury. But when he was getting closer Harry confront him and pulled out his wand pointing to him.
"You are not touching her" he said "She already packed her things so, bye"
"You can't do this to me, Cho" Draco was begging her to stop.
"To you? Oh, come on" she took the ring and threw it to his eye "I hope you enjoyed it"
"Ok, let's go, Hermione come later, in an hour, I want the house without any of your things" Harry carried one trunk and Cho the other one.
"Thanks, Harry"
"Yeah, no problem, What are friends for?"
"Yeah, friends, only that, I want to hug you right now, Cho Chang" Harry thought.
