Over the next few days Cho had gotten stronger but then weak again. The medicine that was to heal her was stuck with Snape until he and the rest of the teachers were sure no one had tampered with it. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Samantha, and Paige didn't think that having Snape check it was so smart. Cho herself was worried when they had told her that.
"He wouldn't try to poison me though.. would he?" she asked them as she flipped the page of her book.
Harry was sitting by her side again trying to concentrate on some homework. Samantha and Paige were sorting out all of Cho's get well soon cards, flowers, candies, and gifts. Ron was across from them trading cards with Ginny, who looked extremely pale and kept coughing constantly.
"Ginny, are you sure you don't need a glass of water?" Samantha asked her while handing her a cup.
"No thank you Samantha. But thanks for offering." She said.
Hermione was in one of the corners engrossed by a book once again. Harry looked at Cho and she appeared to be smiling.
"What're you reading?" he asked.
"The same book I was reading on the first day here. The character Valessa has just said the sweetest thing to the man she loves." She replied.
"Ooh what did she say Cho?" Samantha said as she and Paige were trying to categorize a set of flowers she got.
Cho scanned through the page and then read "Valessa loved him dearly and this was her chance to fix things up with him. Before he had set off she said De corde totaliter Et ex mente tota, Sum presentialiter"
Samantha and Paige looked at her confused. So did Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Harry. Cho shook her head smiling.
"It means with all my heart and all my soul I am with you in Latin." She said.
"Aww." Paige and Samantha said.
Cho looked at Harry and winked. "Yo no puedo ayudar pero lo puedo amar." She said to him laughing a little bit.
Harry laughed and thought for a bit. "Er, Gracias. Yo lo amo así como mucho y quieren estar con usted para siempre." He replied.
"Aww you're so sweet." Cho said as she kissed him on the cheek.
(A/N: Translations! What Cho said meant I can't help but love you. What harry replied to her meant Thank you, I love you so much and want to be with you forever. Lol)
Ron, Samantha, Paige, Hermione, and Ginny looked at them in awe.
"You guys know how to speak Spanish?" Paige said.
"We learned it back in January." Cho said laughing a little bit at them all.
Ron smirked a little bit and went over to Samantha.
"Samantha mon amour, comment je vous aime cherment. est la mine à jamais promesse?" he said dramatically while taking her hand.
Samantha laughed and hit him playfully on his arm. "Je vous aime aussi Ron et je promets d'être le vôtre pour aussi longtemps que vous me voulez à." She replied.
Ron then took her in his arms and said "And that mon cher will be à jamais"
Samantha smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "You're too kind." She replied.
(A/N:Translations Ron said Samantha my love. how I love you dearly. be mine forever promise? Then he said my dear and forever. Lol. Samantha said I love you as well Ron and I promise to be yours for as long as you want me to.)
They all looked at them in shock.
"And you thought we were crazy?" Cho said.
They all laughed. Hermione suddenly snapped the book she was reading shut.
"What's wrong Hermione?" Cho asked.
Hermione bit her lower lip. "I'll tell you guys later." She said as she left the hospital wing.
"Wasn't that The Deadly Charms Spell book Samantha?" Paige asked.
"I think it was but I have no idea why she took it out though." Samantha replied.
"When'd you learn how to speak French anyway?" Harry said not staying on topic.
They all laughed again.
"My mum went to Beaxbatons and of course a lot of the people there are French so I learned from her." Samantha replied.
Ginny started to cough again only even more violently. Ron ran over to her.
"Ginny? Ginny are you alright?" he asked panicking.
Madame Pomfrey ran in with the works. Blankets, Ice, and the red powdery stuff with the spoon.
"Please stay aside Mr. Weasley." She said.
She pulled the curtains around the bed. Ron ran out and after Hermione to see what was wrong. Samantha and Paige looked at Cho.
"Go find him. See what's up and get back to me." She said.
They nodded and left after Ron. Harry shut his books and put them on the side table.
"Are you going to be alright?" he asked.
"I'll be fine just follow them." She replied.
He nodded and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'll be back soon." He said.
"I'll be waiting." She said smiling slightly.
Harry smiled and ran after all of them.
Hermione was pacing around the common room. Ron, Paige, Samantha, and Harry went in trying to catch their breath. Ron grabbed her by the arm.
"Hermione what do you know?" he asked.
Hermione turned around and faced them, tears gleaming in her eyes.
"I-I-I know why Ginny's in the condition she's in." she said softly.
"The Chilling Charm. We all know that." He said as he let her go.
"But I know why she's coughing like she as. And why she's so pale." She said.
"Yeah because she's sick." Ron replied.
He didn't want to hear anymore so he left the common room and went back to the Hospital Wing. Hermione sighed.
"God, if Ginny goes through all 3 symptoms she'll die." She said softly to herself.
"Symptoms?" Samantha said.
Hermione nodded. "W- w-what are they?" Paige asked.
Hermione sat down in one of the chairs and looked up at them all. "The first symptom is coughing up blood." She said.
Samantha and Paige shuddered and gagged.
"The second symptom is when one minute you feel perfectly normal and the next you all of the sudden feel cold or hot and it just keeps on going on like that." She said.
Harry turned around and looked into the fire as he thought clearly about his and Cho's conversation about Ginny. He turned around.
"And the third symptom?" he said.
"The third symptom is when her skin can't stand the light except for candle light." She said.
Paige, Samantha, and Harry looked down.
"And if that symptom ever happens Ginny will die." She said softly.
"Excuse me." Samantha said as she walked out of the common room as she held in tears.
Paige followed her tears already streaming down her face. Harry looked over to them and then at Hermione.
"I think it's close to the third symptom." He said.
"What?!" she exclaimed.
"Well Cho and I have seen Madame Pomfrey coming in with blankets and ice. She coughs constantly and she comes out with rags soaked in something thick and red." He said.
Harry hesitated at first but then sighed and said "Cho also told me she kept on seeing Madame Pomfrey coming in and out of her corner with blankets and ice."
Hermione looked down. "Since when?" she asked quietly.
"Since last week." He replied.
Hermione looked up at him with tears gleaming in her eyes.
"You have to tell Ron. Ginny doesn't have much time." She said.
Harry nodded and walked out of the common room with so many emotions going through his mind.
That night when Harry had told Ron in the Great Hall Ron couldn't take it. Nor did he want to believe it.
"She's just joking. I know she fancies me but she has to accept the fact that I don't fancy her." He said while irritably picking up some french fries and a porkchop.
"Ron it's true. Cho and I have seen Madame Pomfrey coming out with rags with something thick and red. Cho's seen her come out with ice and blankets. You can't avoid this fact." He said.
"AND YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO MY BEST FRIEND RIGHT? GEE WHAT A GREAT FRIEND YOU ARE!" Ron roared.
And with that Ron left the Great Hall. Everybody had heard Ron. Samantha and Paige walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat across from him.
"What happened?" Samantha asked.
"I tried to explain about the symptoms. He wouldn't believe me though." Harry said.
"He wouldn't believe you?" Paige asked.
Harry shook his head.
"Well.. we still have Sam here to tell him." Paige said.
Samantha shook her head. "Can't. I tried a little while ago in Potions he wouldn't believe a word I said. He thought I was brainwashed and he started to panic." She replied.
They all sat in silence. Until suddenly Samantha said "Harry, you can't go to see Cho this evening."
Harry looked at her bewildered. "But why?" he asked.
"I- I can't say right now. Paige and I went to go see her and she doesn't want us to worry you." Samantha said.
"It's a little too late for that Sam, what happened?" he asked with seriousness in his voice.
"Well it-it's just.." Paige began to say.
But Samantha had nudged her in the ribs. "We're sorry we can't tell you." Samantha said.
They both got up and walked out leaving Harry confused but still determined to see Cho that evening.
Cho sat up in her bed in the Hospital Wing. Her hair was pulled back and she was sweating very violently.
"How can they not give my daughter the potion!" Mrs. Chang exclaimed.
"Mrs. Chang, Mr. Chang, as much as we'd like to have your daughter cured our Potions Master has informed us that the potion has indeed been tampered with." Madame Pomfrey said calmly.
"THIS? TAMPERED WITH? IT LOOKS NORMAL TO ME!!" Mrs. Chang roared as she held up the vial with the potion.
"Mum! Drop the vial." Cho said as loud as she could.
She started coughing and could barely keep her eyes open. Mrs. Chang went over to Cho and opened the vial.
"Cho, dear drink the potion." She said soothingly.
"No Mother." She said as she turned her head.
Mrs. Chang's hands were trembling so much that she had dropped the vial on the ground. Once the potion had hit the ground it turned red, within seconds it disappeared by becoming acidy and creating a hole through the ground. Mrs. Chang gasped and she looked at Cho.
"You see? Madame Pomfrey was telling you the truth mum. If I were to have had that potion I would be dead right now." Cho said.
Madame Pomfrey and Mr. Chang came in then.
"I'm afraid you must go. Your daughter needs all the rest she can get until our Potions Master is finished brewing the potion." Madame Pomfrey said.
Mrs. Chang's eyes began to fill with tears. She kissed Cho on the forehead and she brushed some of Cho's hair out of her face.
"Rest well. I'll come see you tomorrow." She said.
Cho nodded and tears were welling up in her eyes as well. Cho's parents than apparated home and Cho sat there feeling worse by the minute.
That night Cho couldn't sleep. She was worried about her own life. She was growing weaker and she was afraid that the venom would truly take its toll if Snape didn't brew the potion fast enough. She was about to fall asleep until a dark shadow had caught her eye. Cho stayed alert and reached for her wand but it wasn't there. She looked franticly for it.
"Looking for something Chang?" a cold voice said.
Cho looked around but couldn't see anybody. And she knew the voice she heard wasn't Malfoy.
"You don't see me now. But you will soon." The voice said again.
"Somebody help me!" she yelled.
"Nobody can hear you Chang. Don't try anything." The voice said again.
"Help!" she cried as she got out of her bed and ran for the door.
But it was locked. Voldemort than appeared in front of her. A little white light appeared near her heart and he stuck his hand in literally looking like he was squeezing the life out of her. Cho gasped and fell to the ground. Voldemort pushed her hair back away from her face.
"Sweet dreams Chang." He said as he apparated away.
Somebody was pounding on the door and it had unlocked once again. It was Harry under his invisibility cloak.
"Cho!" he exclaimed as he took the cloak off.
He held her in his arms trying to find a pulse.
"Madame Pomfrey help!" he yelled.
He continued feeling for a pulse on her icy cold hands until he had found one on her wrist. It was very faint but soon the pulse had stopped.

"Cho!" he exclaimed as he took the cloak off.
He held her in his arms trying to find a pulse.
"Madame Pomfrey help!" he yelled.
He continued feeling for a pulse on her icy cold hands until he had found one on her wrist. It was very faint but soon the pulse had stopped.
Cliffhanger. Thank my math teacher for being so boring. Lol. I got the inspiration surprisingly from there. Lol. Ok please review.
