Midnight Rendezvous
Marty gathered her books and met up with Cho and Kyra.
"Hi Marty." She felt awkward, it was like talking to yourself.
"Hi Cho." Cho let out a little laugh.
"Shut up." Marty sat down. "So how's everything so far?"
"Cho thinks Dean is cute." Kyra blurted.
"No way." Marty gasped.
"Tell the world why don't you." Cho said as she finished Marty's homework. "Anyways, what about you?"
"Oh yeah, you never told me your boyfriend's name." Marty thought.
"Oh! Sorry about that, he's Thomas Sherman. But I call him Tommy." Cho replied. "So, you like Malfoy huh? That's why you made that wish."
"You told her?" Marty snapped at Kyra.
"Hey! She has to know the reason why she's in your body!" Kyra replied. Marty looked at Cho, or at least herself.
"And why are you wearing my glasses?" Marty wondered.
"You never noticed how blind you were did you?" Cho said. She was wearing black thick frame glasses tinted blue.
"Sorry, it runs in the family." Marty said.
"Are you part Chinese?" Cho asked.
"Um, yeah. Why?" Marty asked.
"That's like my family too. Most of us wear glasses, except I wear contacts. Which I trust you are cleaning…Anyways, what's your mom's maiden name?" Cho wondered.
"Yeung. My grandpa was Chinese." Marty replied looking through her books.
"Whoa. My mom's maiden name is Yeung too! Is your mom's name um, what was that name, um, Meja?" Cho said trying to recall.
"Yeah…how'd you know?" Marty wondered.
"That's my mom's cousin! We're related!" Cho said. Marty's jaws dropped.
"Whoa, coinky-dink right there." Kyra said.
"That's one hell of a coinky-dink." Marty looked at the watch she was wearing. "Damn, I better be going. You're friends are waiting." Marty said to Cho. "See you guys later." She went off to the Great Hall.
The day went by, Marty anxiously looking forward to meeting Draco. But she thought that he might just fall completely in love with Cho, and after the two weeks past, she will be herself again, being ignored and stepped on by him. During dinner, she couldn't help but notice that Draco kept looking at her, even if Cho's boyfriend was sitting right next to her.
Later that night, just before it struck midnight, Marty slipped out of her four-poster in the Ravenclaw dormitory and put on Cho's cloak. She headed out to the common room, which was empty, and through the portrait whole. She quickly ran up the Astronomy Tower, where she entered the topmost floor into the empty chamber. There, she didn't see Draco anywhere. She was about to close the door behind her with her foot, which kicked back and, OUCH. Draco was just about to enter but Marty kicked him in the crotch.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Marty said bringing Draco in and closing the door. "I'M SO SORRY!! I DIDN'T SEE YOU!!!" She said helping him sit down on the ground.
Draco groaned as he crouched down. "Ugh, that hurts." His face was turning red. Marty held his hand as he was calming down.
"I swear I didn't see you." She sat with him.
"I know you didn't. Don't worry, I'm okay now." Draco sat up. He looked into her eyes, or Cho's eyes. "I think I'm falling for you…" Marty put her head down. She knew that this was the case.
"I…I don't what to say…" She said.
"I never thought that I would have a chance to talk to you, to hold you, to kiss you…this seems like a dream." Draco said. Marty could see the softer side of him, the part of him that she wanted. "Cho, I lo…"
"Draco, please. Don't say it." She stood up looking outside the window. "Don't say those words."
"I, I don't understand. What's wrong?" He asked her as he stood behind her looking through the window.
"There's something about me, that you don't know about." She said.
"What is it?" Draco asked.
"I can't tell you, and if I did, you wouldn't understand." She sighed. "And after tonight, I can't see you again."
"Why not?" he wondered.
"Draco, I'm in a relationship. You know that." She said.
He turned her around to face him. He sighed. "I can't fight with your feelings. So I'll leave you alone, but I'll wait for you. And, would it be alright, if I just kiss you one last time?" He asked slowly. Her eyes were watery and she slowly nodded. He leaned forward and kissed her passionately. Once again, she felt the sudden rush through her. He held her by the waist as her hand stroke the back of his neck. Soon, the kiss turned into a make-out session. He sat her up on the ledge on the window as he kissed her lips and down to her neck. Soon his hands roamed freely into her cloak stroking her legs, going upward. But suddenly, Marty stopped him. She got off the ledge and stood in front of him.
"I, I gotta go." She said touching Draco's cheek as he held her hand there for the moment, then she left him.
The following days Marty didn't talk to Draco at all. She knew that this was the chance of the lifetime, but being in Cho's body has disadvantages. He was in love with Marty, not Cho. But he didn't know anything about the switch. It was a Wednesday, it won't be long till they switch back. At dinner, Professor Dumbledore was to give an announcement. That morning, they saw a group of students from other schools enter Hogwarts. There were about 30 of them, and very sophisticated-looking.
"All students, because we have guests visiting from Rome International School of Magic and Greenrain Exclusive Institute, we are holding a Yule Ball at the end of this week. This time, the attire is formal, no dress robes, so 4th years and up are allowed to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow after classes to shop for your clothes." He announced.
Marty looked around and saw Cho talking to Kyra. Suddenly, Dean began to talk to her and she read her lips that said "Of course I'll go with you." Marty felt crushed. That was the night the switch will completely wear off. She then looked at Draco, who for a while was looking at her, then he turned away. She then waited for Kyra to look her way, then Kyra knew that Marty wanted to talk to her. After dinner, Cho snuck out to meet Kyra and Cho.
"Cho, I mean, Marty, did you say yes to Dean?" Marty asked.
"Ummm…actually, yeah, I did." She turned scarlet.
"Isn't the switch going to wear off that night?" Marty asked.
"Actually, in the morning." Kyra replied.
"Great, this is just great." Marty crossed her arms.
"Why what's the matter? Other than the Dean thing…" Cho wondered.
"Malfoy is in love with you." Marty answered Cho.
"You mean, he's in love with YOU." Cho corrected. Marty looked confused. "Don't you see it? He now feels comfortable around you. Not like when we were in our respective bodies, he wouldn't dare talk to me. You're just in my body, my body is just a mask."
"It's kind of like, Dean, isn't it? He talks to you now." Marty said. Kyra and Cho nodded.
"Marty, if he really loves you, then he would still love you even if you are yourself. And same with you and Dean." Kyra said.
"Alright. I'll tell Dean when we go to Hogsmeade." Cho said.
"And I'll tell Malfoy." Marty said.
