Chapter 9~ One Last Surprise
Cho was in the common room again. All alone. She sat staring carelessly into the fireplace, and choked tears. Why did bad things all of a sudden happen to her? Was it all because of the gifts she's been getting? First, Harry thinks that she and Draco flirt. Second, Cho has lost Harry's trust. Third, Eva thought Cho has backstabbed her because of what happened at the Quiditch match, and lastly, the school is whispering rumors because of Lee Jordan's comment. Cho thought and realized that all this had to do with Draco. She sat up straighter in the chair, and tried to think of other reasons, but it all ended up with Draco.
"Ugh! Why me?!" Cho looked at the big oak clock sitting in a corner. It was 7:30pm. "7:30?! Dinner's over! I was supposed to meet Professor Dumbledore!" Cho got up forgetting about Draco completely.
She walked briskly to Dumbledore's office. The room was quiet when she arrived. Dumbledore was nowhere in sight. She walked around the room observing the interesting things. Then a big fiery red and orange bird caught Cho's eye. She walked to it and observed it.
"So, you must be Fawkes." She said with a soft smile. The bird squawked as if to say yes, and Cho laughed lightly. "You saved Harry from the Basilisk poison a few years ago. I want to thank you for that. Otherwise he wouldn't be here now would he? It's too bad you couldn't be there for. for someone else." She stroked the bird's soft-feathered body.
"Friendly, aren't they?" Dumbledore said atop a small flight of stairs.
Cho jumped in surprised. "Hello Professor. Fawkes is very friendly, and so bright in the feathers!"
"Harry has told you about Fawkes?" Dumbledore walked down the stairs.
"Oh yes. He's told me lots of fascinating things: his life with his cruel muggle relatives, and past adventures. I found his cousin quite amusing." Cho smiled at the thought.
"I see you and Harry are very close. I understand that recently, you have been more than friends." Dumbledore looked at Cho teasingly.
"Um, yeah." Cho blushed.
"Yes, I remember when I was you age. I fancied a girl. But she didn't like me much. But that was centuries ago." Dumbledore chuckled. "Ah, young love is the sweetest kind of love you'll ever have. Always treasure those wonderful moments you'll have while you're with Harry."
Cho smiled. "Of course I will." She will just like she remembers her times with Cedric.
"Now," Dumbledore continued. " I bet you're wondering what I meant earlier at dinner." Cho nodded. Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and a white box that was about 2 ½ feet in length, and about five inches thick appeared in his hands. He handed the box to Cho.
"More surprises?" Cho said as she took the box. "I've been getting a lot of these lately."
"Yes, I've noticed." Dumbledore said.
Cho opened the box and gasped. Her eyes were wide with glee. In the box lay elegant blue dress robes and a pair of matching shoes.
"Professor!" Cho squealed. "This is so beautiful! I love it! Thank you! This is.absolutely perfect."
"You're welcome my dear." Dumbledore said watching Cho admire the dress.
"How did you know that I desperately needed this? Did Eva say anything to you?" Cho asked.
Dumbledore laughed. "Cho, I've known you for the past five years. That's long enough for me to know your personality, what you would do, what you would not; so basically, I know a lot of things. Eva said nothing. Now, why don't you go up to your dormitory? You'll need some rest, because tomorrow will be a very exciting day."
Cho nodded, thanked Dumbledore once more, and left his office. When she got to her dormitory, she immediately set the whit box on her bed, grabbed her diary, a quill and ink, and sat in the common room.
Dear Diary,
The past few days have been hectic. On Wednesday at post, I got a package. You wouldn't believe what I'm about to say. I got a ring that's probably worth 10,000 galleons! Then on Thursday, I got a necklace worth the same as the ring! Amazing isn't it? Harry figured a boy was sending these to me, and got a bit jealous. We argued twice already. We've only been together for four days, starting Monday, and we're growing apart. I'm thinking maybe we weren't meant to be. I cried twice. I still don't know who's been sending me these gifts. Today at dinner, I got another parcel. You guessed tight diary. It's
Cho stopped realizing she didn't know what the gift was. She was so caught up in the note, that she didn't bother looking. She got up, grabbed the gift, and went back to the common room. She happily opened the velvet blue case and found a pair of earrings. It had two heart shaped diamonds and was a light blue color like the ring and necklace. A smaller diamond was on top of a larger diamond. Cho smiled and was glad she hadn't seen the earrings in the Great Hall. She was glad she was away from everyone. She was sick and tired of Harry getting jealous, and people staring and whispering rumors, and she was even tired of herself being so popular. A lot of attention was wanted from Cho all the time. She continued writing in her diary.
another piece of expensive jewelry. They're earrings. A note from the sender was included. All it said was that the earrings will be my last gift, and if I wanted to know whom the sender is, I'll need to meet them in the library at midnight. It's only 9:30, so I have a few more hours to go. Oh diary, I can hardly wait!
Tomorrow night is the Yule Ball. I'm going with Harry of course. But I wish I were going with, dare I say, Draco. I can't believe I feel that way! He's going with Pansy. I know it. They went together last year. How lucky Pansy is. She's got the looks, and a guy who'd look perfect with her. What am I saying?! Why am I saying this? Oh, I know. Today, I had a Quiditch match against Slytherin. Draco was seeker; we both were. Anyway, we were supposed to be looking for the snitch, but we were talking instead. Lee Jordan made a comment: "Chang and Malfoy better look for the snitch instead of flirting or we'd be here all day." Well, something like that. Draco and I saw the snitch at the same time, and chased after it at the same time. We were neck and neck. But I got ahead, and barely touched the snitch. Then, my broom tripped on something, and I fell. My broom flew, and tipped Draco's broom. He fell too. He rolled in the grass, and landed on top of me! Trust me, you have no idea how I felt. My face was burning because I was so embarrassed!
I'm going to sound like a lovesick puppy right now. Here it goes. I looked into his deep, intense blue eyes and just melted. He.um.I don't really want to say this. He smelled really good! It wasn't a strong smell like cologne. It was like he smelled that way naturally. I just wanted time to stop. Oh god. Listen to me! I sound.ugh! See? Look what has gotten into me. I'm going to go lie down in my bed until midnight. I need some time to think. Ciao for now.
She closed her diary, and sat in the chair. What has gotten into me? Cho thought. She couldn't believe she wrote that about Draco. She picked up her things and went to her dormitory.
Eva moaned when Cho entered the room. She placed her things on the table by her bed and tiptoed to the window. It was a full moon. Its beams shone through the dark forest and made the snow covered grass glisten. Cho thought about the mysterious dreams she had been having. She wanted to know whom the boy was with her and most of all, who has been sending the gifts.
She kept glancing at the clock. It seemed to Cho that time was so slow. She stared up at the stars. All of a sudden, Draco came into her head. For some reason, he always made her smile and feel warm inside. Harry never really made her feel that way. Cho laughed a little at the thought of their conversation at the Quiditch match. Draco seemed so different. He had a nicer side. They had talked about school, and their lives outside of Hogwarts. She almost drifted off to sleep, but she forced to keep her eyes open.
It was now 10:13, and Cho couldn't stand it. She decided to lie in her bed and pretend she was asleep. After all, the note did say to make sure her fellow Ravenclaws was sound asleep, and for them all (especially Penelope the prefect who studies all night and hast o make sure everyone's in bed) to go to sleep, Cho had to do the same. She thought about the Yule Ball, and how she's supposed to have fun when her jealous boyfriend, Harry, was mad at her. She was growing apart from him, and wanted to break up with him, but he loved her. Harry sounded so serious and true to his word when he said, "I love you too much. She couldn't hurt him. Cho was grateful for all Harry has done, but he was too much in love with her. Now wasn't the greatest time to break his heart. Maybe it was the right time after Christmas break, or at the end of the school year. Or maybe she should wait until Harry broke up with her.
"Ugh." Cho grunted softly. Draco came back into her head. She didn't' want to admit it, but he was the reason she wanted to break up with Harry. If they break up, she could open up her feelings toward Draco and talk to him freely. Cho glanced at the clock again. It was 11:00. Only one more hour to go, but it was still a long time. She listened for any sounds that indicated a person was awake. Nothing. Everything was silent.
