Saved!

Cho Chang self-consciously tucked her hair behind her ears and smoothed her skirt as she walked through the group of boys standing around the doorway of the Great Hall. Everyone clearly knew what had happened last night at the party; word around here spread like wildfire. The guys were wolf whistling and shouting leering comments at her as she tried to navigate a path between them. Some had even gone as far as to tuck the bottoms of their shirts into their necklines and were pretending to dirty dance with each other.

"How you doin', baby gurl?" winked a particularly sleazy looking blonde Slytherin boy. Cho did her best not to shudder. Why had she let her "friends" talk her into sneaking off the grounds to join a large group of other students (mostly Slytherins) drinking in the Forest last night? And, more importantly, why in the name of Merlin's most baggy y-fronts did she drink so much!?

"Do you play Quidditch?" asked another boy, running his hand through her hair. "Because baby, you're a keeper!" This earned him high-fives and fist pumps from a few of his mates. Cho felt like she was going to cry. Her head was throbbing, and she was still trying to piece together most of what had happened last night, because there were large gaps in her memory.

The final straw came when a boy she had never spoken to in her life (well, not that she remembered, anyway) slipped his arm around her waist and asked if he could have another kiss. Finally, it was all too much for Cho, and silent tears began sliding down her cheeks. The laughing and teasing increased, and then broke off abruptly as a shout and flash of light blew the boys closest to Cho backwards off their feet.

Cho sniffed and looked up. The boy that was standing there, wand in hand, an angry look on his face, was none other than the Hufflepuff boy who she had helped with homework last week: Cedric Diggory.

When he looked at her his expression softened, and he put his arm around her. She sniffed, and wiped her eyes on her sleeve.

"Come on" he said, steering her towards the Great Hall. "Let's get you some breakfast."


I probably should start writing full-length fan-fics, rather than short one-shots, buuuuut, oh well. Feed back on this one would be good :)

If people like it I may even write more on it and turn it into a proper fan-fiction.
