"Hello?" said a voice not extremely happy at all.
"Hey Draco, it's me Cho," she said hoping to cheer him up.
"Oh. what do you want?" he retorted
"Well I just didn't want us to part cause of our situation." She said hesitating a little.
"Well you know what? Our situation is the reason why we can't be together; our situation is why we can't have what we had, our situation is the reason why I can't talk to you!" he shouted and hung up the phone.
She hung up and began to cry. She knew today would be a bad day. She sat in her office hopeless and depressed. She felt she had no one to talk to, Shaina with Orlando, Tracy at work, and Draco mad at her. All she had that day was Antoinette.
She couldn't bear to get up from her chair. Her secretary brought in some coffee then went back to work. She sat there in her office staring at paper work and drawing little sad faces on them.
"Knock, knock. Cho are you there? You just skipped 5 meeting today and it's putting your job at risk." Said Mr. Fudge.
"I don't care anymore. You can take your promotion and shove it!" she yelled back at him.
"Oh Cho I know you don't mean It." He said coming in.
"How do you know I don't mean it?" She asked giving him a face of great depression.
"Because your getting married and your having doubts about things such as your promotion. Besides you already have it. Did you really think I'd give it to Antoinette did you? She can't even keep the orders straight when she used to work at the parlor in the leaky cauldron." He giggled and kissed her on the cheek. "And don't you think just because you're my grandchild I gave you the promotion for nothing." He gave her a hug.
She smiled and said, "Thanks grandpa."
"Your welcome sweetie, wow you got your grandmothers eyes, and you look so beautiful. I remember when you were 2 or 3, your mom and dad came over for winter vacation and you walked up to grandma. And write when she was going to pick her up you poked her on the nose and said look mommy I got grandma eyes. That was so cute." He said and began to chuckle.
She gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek. He excused her from all her meetings so she could sort out a couple of things on her own.

"Draco who was that?" said his mother as he passed by the door.
He walked back a couple of steps and entered the room, "It was no one mother."
"Don't lie to me Draco I've already had enough of that from you father now who was it?" she said giving him a grin.
"It was Miss Chang." She said shuttering saying her name or her surname.
His mother chuckled, "Oh Draco you just crack me up. I can see right through you. Yes you maybe feeling anger towards her, but I can see you still have feelings for her."
"Well she broke her promise." He said feeling a bit like his mother was winning in this debate.
"You know I'm right. Besides you broke the promise first with what was her name again. I remember it was after your graduation.. I got the post and you were with you new girlfriend. Pansy I think. well anyway you to were just out there kissing or what ever you young people do" she said in a chuckle. " And I remember calling you and telling you that you got a letter from Cho. And just as I said Cho you looked over at Pansy and she gave you this wicked stare like she was going to kill you. And then you turned back at me and said Cho who? And went back to snogging." She said giving a little giggle. "So I left you to alone and opened the letter since I was curious to what a Ravenclaw girl wanted to talk to you for. That's when I figured out about your affair with her. I didn't really care about her being what she was as long as you where happy. As I read the bottom part 'remember our promise? To stay together forever, to love each other always, and to stay in each others life always?' as I read that I grew kind of sad that my son wasn't able to keep his promise to his first love one. So it's not all her fault." She said
He sat down on the rocking chair staring at the floor.
"Well anyway after I read it I stared at you and figured you were just with Pansy to make up for what happened to your father. For filling his dreams for you I guess you can say. I sat there staring at the parchment and then your sister came in with her friend Alex. And they said ' you know why my brother is with that strange anorexic girl out there?' her friend shook her head and Katie said it was because you felt bad for her and it was cause you were only doing what your father had wished. So I wrote a letter to Cho explaining what was going on. And I got a letter from her a couple weeks later and." she paused and saw Draco staring up at her. "It had marks of tear drops all over it saying that she loved you and she thought you loved her to but I guessed in my letter she assumed you forgot about her. I felt terrible. So I wrote her another one but I don't think she read it because she sent it back to me along with a box a dressed to you. I never gave it to you though it's still in my closet. But think it's time you got it back. And Draco don't hate her for the promise get her back, because you still love her and she still lo.." She stopped there he got up from the chair and went closer to his mother.
"Mother what's wrong" he said looking at her. He bent down to get a pulse and nothing. His mother had died. He looked in to her life less eyes and closed them. He sat on the floor near her bed sobbing. Maria came in with a ray of tea. She looked up and found Mrs. Malfoys life less body. She screamed and dropped the tray. A few hours passed by and he sat there on the floor looking at the empty bed. They already took her body to get it cream made. He wrote a letter to Katie telling her about mother's death and sent it off with his owl. He got up and remembered about the box mother had told him about earlier. He rushed into her closet pulling out boxes and tearing open closed bags. But no luck he couldn't find the box. He walked to his room trying to get ready to go to pick up Crabbe and Goyle. He took off his shirt and opened his closet. Looking for a shirt to wear he found a package addressed to him from Cho. He hadn't seen the box before. He opened full of curiosity if it was the package from way back then or something she just sent.
He opened the box and found a locket. It was in graved in the front and said:
Draco M. + Cho C. = Forever. In the locket were to pictures of him and Cho, One on the left side kissing each other and on the right them looking deeply into each other eyes and telling each other 'I love you'. He closed the locket and found a letter in side of the box.
Dear Draco,
Hey it's me Cho. Well I just sent you the locket you gave me on my graduation. I'm assuming you're happy with your new girlfriend and I wish you well. All though it pains me so to say good-bye I know it's for the best. It took a lot out of me to give back the locket since it hold so much of the past and love we had for each other. I wish you well and to let you know I'll be fine and move on. Although you broke our promise, I was heart broken you promised me marriage. You were my soul mate and I was yours that's what you told me, whatever, I'll forgive but I don't think I'll ever forget. Love always, Cho Chang
He stared at the locket and looked at the picture on the right side. Every time he heard her say the words I love you in it he would close it. He opened it again and heard the whole thing.
They were out in the park of Magic Nation Festival staring up at the stars. He turned over and looked at her beautiful face. And said, "I love you" she turned over and gave him the biggest smile she could offer and kissed him.
"I love you too." She said looking deeply into his eyes.
He grabbed her hand and kissed it and said, "Cho. promise me this no matter what we'll stay together. You are my soul mate and I can't imagine life with out you."
"I'll promise if you promise me too, and I too can't imagine life with out you. I mean ever since I met you, you seem to be my other half and i just thank god for letting me find you," she said smiling. He looked at her completely astonished and kissed her.
"Hey Draco, it's me Cho," she said hoping to cheer him up.
"Oh. what do you want?" he retorted
"Well I just didn't want us to part cause of our situation." She said hesitating a little.
"Well you know what? Our situation is the reason why we can't be together; our situation is why we can't have what we had, our situation is the reason why I can't talk to you!" he shouted and hung up the phone.
