Chapter 1

"You never loved me! I was just another person under your control that you could do whatever with. Well no more Malfoy..." I glare at him. He has a sincere look of sadness on his face, but I don't care. He broke my heart and I want him to get a taste of what I am feeling.

"You can have this back too." A flash of gold as the ring goes bouncing across the room. Sure enough, it stops at his foot. "I thought we would be together forever...forever Draco. But now I know better." The tears are coming, but I will not cry...not for a lost love. "I hope you're happy." It comes out in a whisper and I turn, running down the halls, not caring that he's calling after me, not caring that I don't know where I'm going, not caring about anything. I find that my feet have carried me to our place...I can do nothing, but slump to the floor and succumb to the tears.

You may have never of guessed, but we were the best of friends. Secretly, of course. That's what our whole relationship was based off...secrecy and lies. I was a pureblood, as was his family, but we did not meet his father's "standards for wizards". We had been next door neighbors for most of our lives.

I was 10, outside crying. I had just moved to England from China and didn't know anything. It was like a new world that I was just thrown into and expected to learn. There was a willow tree out front and I had climbed up in the branches.

"Why are you crying?" I wiped my eyes and looked down. A boy, younger than myself, was staring up at me. He had the whitest blonde hair and a clear complexion. But his eyes stunned me. I had never seen grey eyes before. I said something to him in Chinese, forgetting I wasn't at home anymore. He just looked at me funny.

"Why do you talk so funny?" he asked.

"I don't talk funny!" I yelled down at him. "It's called Chinese!" I turned and climbed farther up in the tree, not wanting to talk to his strange boy anymore. I must have stepped on a thin branch, because the next thing I know, I'm falling.

"Captus accido!" I felt myself slowing down and on the ground. Those grey eyes were staring down at me.

"Are you ok?" I'm stunned, but nod.

"Let me help you," I feel an arm around my shoulder as he helps me sit up.

"You...you know magic?" I asked. The boy shrugged.

"It's not suppose to be taught until you go to school, but my mother and father thought it best to show me a few things." The boy smiled as he studied me. I look away.

"My name is Draco...Draco Malfoy," he said.

"Cho...Chang," I say hesitantly. Why is this boy staring at me so? "Thank you...for saving me," I manage. I look up at him and his eyes seem to pierce me.

"It is nice to meet you...Cho," he tries out my name.

"DRACO MALFOY! COME HOME THIS INSTANT!" The warmth from his eyes fled and were replaced by something much colder and harder.

"I'll see you around," he said, before running next door.

After that day when he saved my life, Draco and I become best friends. We would get together everyday by the willow, talking and playing. He showed me a few spells and I shared my experiences in China. We seemed like the perfect buddies...and then it happened.

"Look what I got today."

"What is it?"

"A letter from a school...Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Let me see that." Before I could say anything else, Draco took it from my hands and looked at the letter.

"NO!" he yelled. "You can't leave! I'll be here, all by myself!" I was stunned. True, I had come to like Draco, but it was only for school.

"Draco," I said gently, touching his arm. "Draco, it's only school. We can still keep in touch!" Draco looked at me, then at my hand. He took it in his.

"Promise?" he asked. I just nodded. A grin spread across his face.

We did keep in touch over that year while I was at Hogwarts and he was still stuck at home. He told me how he didn't want to do anything because "his Asian flower" wasn't there with him.

When the letter came to Draco, next summer, we were both ecstatic. Who knew it would only tear us apart.

This is my first fiction. I've always been a fan of Draco/Cho and have this good idea...it just might take me awhile to get it across! Please, R/R! Let me know what needs to be fixed, what you like, don't like anything! Just not too bad...I hope! I don't own Harry Potter, but this fanfic doesn't follow the Harry Potter series.
