Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews and sorry for the long wait! I've sort of lost interest in Cho Chang. Well, I've almost fully lost interest for the character after I lost the part to Katie Leung, who was cast for the part. I just can't imagine Tom and Katie! I imagine the actors when I read fanfics and the books, so yeah... It's just so wrong. ---- ;; But, I'm not just going to abandon my story.

I've written my own fic in the meantime. It's called Heavenly Child, and it's on xanga. If you're interested in reading it, I've posted the Prologue already. If I get enough reviews, I'll go ahead and post the first chapter. Here's the link: JK Rowling said she totally supports fanfic and is flattered by it. She said not to credit anything to her, but to the author of the fanfics.

Chapter 10: No More Shame

Cho felt extremely sorry for Eva. Whenever Draco was around, Eva would walk in the opposite direction, attempting to avoid him. She was still embarrassed from the incident. She would even get so nervous that she'd drop her books, bump into people, or even walk right into a wall. Eva would be laughed at non-stop. Soon, she was known as 'Nevilla McBottom' for her clumsiness.

"Cho, isn't she one of your friends? I hear she's evidently related to Longbottom," said Draco and he pointed to Eva, who was not very far.

Eva saw him and tried to escape, but slipped and fell. Her books flew everywhere and one bounced right on her head. Laughter rang though the halls.

"Draco, she wasn't always like that," said Cho. "Come on," She grabbed him and walked over to Eva, who sat there crying.

"She's almost as worse as Longbottom himself," Draco whispered to Cho.

Eva heard him and looked up with embarrassment. She stood up and tried to leave but Cho stopped her.

"Draco didn't mean that,"

"Leave me alone," Eva said sadly, turning her tear-stained face away.

"No! We need to sort this out. All three of us,"

Draco was bewildered. "Me?! What does all this have to do with me?!"

Eva looked at him. "What's there to talk about?"

"You know what about!" Cho snapped. She calmed her voice. "I want this sorted out. I don't want to lose our friendship and I can't bear to watch you change into a clumsy person and develop a nickname. Please Eva?"

Eva looked at Cho and glared uncertainly. She finally gave in. "Fine,"

The three of them walked outside to have a bit more privacy.

"What's all this about?" asked Draco.

"You'll see in just a moment," Cho replied and looked at Eva, indicating that she confesses everything.

"I-I cant," croaked Eva. "I can't say it! It'll be embarrassing."

"Even more embarrassing then all those people laughing at you all the time and calling you cruel names? And Draco, please be serious about this." Said Cho.

"I don't even know what we're talking about!"

"Just be serious. Don't—"

"I like you, Draco." Eva burst.

"What?!"

"I said I like you... a lot."

"Good," Cho said surprised. "Now we can sort this out now that Draco knows the problem."

Eva started to fidget and tried avoiding eye contact.

Draco didn't know how to react. "Out of all the people, why'd you have to like me? I mean, I don't blame you, but—"

"Ahem," Cho cleared her through purposely.

Draco stopped immediately and thought of something else to say.

"Um, Eva, right? I'm—uh—flattered, but I'm taken. Obviously."

Eva looked at Draco and glared as though what he just said were the most heartless words ever. Cho tried to say something comforting.

"I'm really sorry again. If you liked Draco as much as I did—"

"I should've talked to him, I know," Eva finished. "I already told you, Cho, I'm not like you!"

"Well them why are you so angry at her? It clearly isn't her fault," said Draco.

"Because she knew how I felt! She knew I liked you!"

"Cho liked me too—"

"And she could've at least told me that!" Eva cried.

"I couldn't tell you. I was afraid that you'd tell Harry," said Cho. "But you're right, I should've said something."

"Okay, you went behind Harry's back for Draco. That's so wrong, and I would never believe that you'd ever do something like that. But, you still should've told me! You're my best friend, not Harry! I'd never tell him anything! No matter how wrong it was." Said Eva.

"I think I'll leave, "Draco backed away. "This doesn't exactly involve me, and you two seem to be having a 'moment'. See you later, Cho."

"But you and Harry are no longer together," Eva continued after Draco had left. "So now you're with Draco openly; no hiding."

"Right," said Cho. "And I'm still really sorry. Can't you forgive me? We can't just put years and years of memories and friendship down the drain over a guy!"

"I know. I'm still not that pleased, but I forgive you... a little."

Cho smiled. "Good enough for me,"

Author's Note: Glad the problems are over! Last few chapters will come soon! Sooner than this one at least. Lolz... There's a cute ending! Oh, and I'm working on a little "Memory Book" or Yearbook for my fic. That'll be up after I've posted the last chapter.
