Chapter 2~ Stupidity
Harry and Cho remained good friends, although Harry still had some feelings for her. Cho spent more time wither her friends at eating at the Ravenclaw table again.
Almost another week had passed and Draco still never came back to Hogwarts.
"Oy, Cho!" Eva whispered while the two friends were studying in the library. "You know what I've noticed?"
"Hm?" Cho didn't look up from her work.
"Draco. I haven't seen him around school at all since he left for the holidays!" Eva said. "I mean, it's been almost two weeks since break was over. I'm worried and I miss him!"
Cho stopped dead, thinking, Miss him? You don't even know him! "Eva, can we please just study? I'm sure he's fine." She wasn't so sure about her statement.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Cho walked alone to the Ravenclaw common room when she heard voices : Lucius Malfoy and Dumbledore. She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but she had to know what happened to Draco. Cho hid behind a corner and listened.
"Draco has been ill. Must've been something from the Christmas feast. I've kept him in, hoping for a full, fast recovery, but it's just not improving very much. He has to go to school. He's missed enough work as it is." Lucius said with his sly voice.
"Would food be the cause of Draco's bruises and cuts he has shown? I don't think-"
"It was the food. Maybe. But then, of course, he has private Quidditch lessons and could've gotten hurt." he trailed off.
"We'll keep Draco in the hospital wing for a while." Said Dumbledore.
Lucius gave a curt nod and slight smile. "Good day." Then he briskly left.
"Come now Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore led a limping Draco towards the hospital wing. "How do your feel." his voice faded.
Cho didn't get a glimpse of Draco. "He was ill? From. food?" She muttered to herself. "Bruises? Cuts?" Now she had to see him.
She ran to the Ravenclaw common room to drop off her books and homework. Eva was already there.
"Um, Eva? Do you want to go for a walk around? You know, just to walk, maybe get some air, talk?" Cho asked, trying not to act like she was in a hurry.
"Uh, I suppose." Eve answered, puzzled.
"Great!" Cho almost ran out the portrait hole.
"So, where are we going?" Eva asked when they reached the bottom of the staircases.
"No where in particular. Just walking where I fell like." Cho tried walking slowly and not look like she wanted to go to the Hospital Wing. "So, you miss Draco, yeah?"
"Yeah," Eva sighed.
"But you don't even know him."
"I know. Weird how that is. I never spoke a word to him but I miss him."
"What about you and." Cho paused. They were in the doorway of the infirmary. She saw that a Gryffindor girl that looked her age was also on one of the beds, wide-awake. "Oh, Eva, look!" She whispered.
Eva gaped when she saw Draco. "Oh my gosh! He's gotten sick!"
"Whom are you talking about?" Cho did a false giggle. "Oh! I was talking about." She paused and tried to think of a name for the Gryffindor girl. "About Jocelyn! The Gryffindor girl over there. She's. um, one of my mates too!"
Cho dragged Eva over to 'Jocelyn'. "Aw, you didn't tell me you were sick! Are you feeling any better?"
"Huh.?" said the Gryffindor girl. "Who are-"
"Oh, I see you're not that well. Let me feel your head," Cho put the back of her hand on the girl's forehead. The girl looked at her oddly. "Huh. you're burning up a bit. Best to have some company to cheer you up! Come on, Eva. Say hi."
"Hi.uh, Jocelyn," she said weekly.
"Jocelyn? Who's Jo-"
"You are, silly!" said Cho, once again giving out a false giggle. "The fever must be really getting to you! So, have a nice holiday?"
"Well, yes, I suppose. Until I've gotten sick. But really, who are you and who's Jocelyn?" said the Gryffindor girl, sitting up in bed.
"Oh, really? My Christmas was okay as well! But, there were some bad days, but you know how life goes. You can't expect anything, can you?" Cho tried making more conversation and steer the subject away from making the Gryffindor girl curious.
"No, you can't. Speaking of that, I didn't expect to see you here. I don't think we've even met-"
"Yes, yes, that fever really has gotten to you," Cho shook her head. "That's alright, mate, I'll visit often, give you some company. It'll make you feel better in no time! And we did too meet! Are. are you getting Amnesia, Jocey? What kind of a fever do you have anyway?"
"Uh, no. I'm not getting Amnesia. I just have a normal cold, is all!" The girl was starting to get annoyed. "Really, I think you are the one that has a sickness! You've gone mad, I reckon!"
"Wow, you must be really sick to forget a friend you met," said Eva, looking concerned.
"For the last time, I have never met this girl! I have not idea who she is and why she's acting as though we're friends!"
"I best get Madam Pomfrey! You must get that memory of us meeting back. I don't want to lose a friend! Well then, best be off until your memory is back. Hope you get better soon. Cheers. " Cho smiled weekly and pulled Eva away.
"Are you two really friends? Or was this all some sort of joke? Because Jocelyn didn't seen to know whom you were. She got a bit annoyed actually." said Eva, confused.
Cho thought quickly. "Oh Eva, it's Draco." She pointed at the bed in the far back. "She exaggerated her concerned voice a bit, but not entirely. She sort of did feel concerned.
"Yes, I told you," said Eva. "Do you think he's alright?"
"Don't know. You should go see him!" She grabbed Eva's arm. "I'm right behind you. Go on."
They both walked to Draco quietly, being careful not to disturb him.
"What are you two girls doing?" Madam Pomfrey stopped them with a demanding whisper.
"Just visiting our ill friends, that's all," Eva said.
"Mr. Malfoy, too? Oh no. I'm sorry. I'm afraid you can't disturb him at all. He's very ill and wants some peace and quiet." Madam Pomfrey scooted Cho and Eva out the door.
"Okay," Cho retorted, feeling desperate and angry. She really wanted to have a glance at Draco. She stared blankly into the room from the doorway.
Eva tugged at her sleeve. "Come on, Cho."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Author's Note: I added the part where Cho acts as if she's a friend with the Gryffindor girl to my original chapter. I guess I wanted something funny. =P Well, I hope it was a little. You don't need to LOL and roll over the floor, but I mean, I hope you find it a bit funny. Please r/r! Oh, I'm also working on a new fanfic. It's more sophisticated. (Hopefully) There's nothing cheesy. =D I dunno if I want to carry on with it. I just wrote a few pages of it.
