Chapter 14~ Train Ride Home
Happy Christmas. Those were the two words echoing through the halls. Most of the students were carrying their bags, trunks and luggage out into the Hogwarts Express, and saying goodbyes to their friends who were staying.
Cho was sitting in the Great Hall with Harry, Ron and Hermione. She and Hermione watched Harry and Ron play a round of Wizards Chess.
"After all these years, I still can't believe how you two can play such a barbaric version of chess!" Hermione shook her head.
"And after all these years, I always end up winning," Ron gave Harry a smart smile. "Checkmate."
Harry frowned.
"What?! How? Oh, never mind."
"We better get going," Hermione picked up her bags and beckoned to Cho. "We don't want the train to leave us now, do we?"
"I suppose not," Cho stood up. "Bye Harry." She reached across the table and hugged him.
"Bye." Harry replied.
"See you Ron." Cho and Hermione walked off.
"Happy Christmas!" They chirped loudly together to Ron and Harry before they stepped out of the Great Hall.
"Do you want to sit with me?" Hermione asked Cho as they boarded the train.
"Actually I -"
"You're sitting with Malfoy." Hermione cut off.
"Yeah I'm really sorry." Cho felt bad. "You know what? Why don't I sit with you for a while? Then I can sit with Draco later."
"Really?" Hermione smiled. "Are you sure?"
Cho nodded. "Positive. Hey, I'll be right back. I have to go find Draco and tell him that I'll be sitting with him later."
She walked towards the back of the train looking for him. She looked into every single compartment, but he was nowhere to be found. Finally, she gave up and spun around.
"Umph," Cho grunted. She bumped into someone. "I'm so sorry.oh, Draco! There you are. Where were you?"
"Packing. So, you want to get a compartment in the back, or what?"
"Um, last minute thing." Said Cho. "See, I felt bad for Hermione to have to sit alone the whole trip, so I told her I'd sit with her a while."
"Uh huh. Granger's a loner. I see. No beg shock there." Draco replied sarcastically. "Alright, I guess." He didn't know why Hermione couldn't stay at Hogwarts with Harry and Ron.
"Thanks," Cho hugged him happily. "You're such a sweet Slytherin." She let go and found that Draco wouldn't do the same. "What are you doing? Let me go! The train's about to move!"
"What are you talking about? I'm not holding you. You said I'm a sweet Slytherin, so I'm being nicer and hugging you more!"
Cho tried pulling away from his grasp. She couldn't even move one of his fingers.
"Ugh, okay. You aren't that sweet. You're a bad Malfoy. Happy?"
Draco just replied with an, "Mmm,"
"Come on! Let go!" Cho tried being serious but she ended up laughing. His grasp tickled her.
Draco held on tighter which made Cho ticklish even more. She laughed so hard that she started losing control over her legs and started to fall. Draco held her up and supported her.
"You.know," Cho gasped. "the sooner I go.the sooner I'll.get to.sit with you."
Draco helped her gain control over herself and released her.
"Okay, okay!" He lightly pushed Cho. "See you later then."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Did you tell him?" asked Hermione when Cho entered the compartment she was in."
Cho sat across from her. "Yeah."
The two of them sat there in silence and looking out the window. Then Hermione suddenly burst, "How.why do you like Malfoy? I don't know what good you see in him! He's so.obnoxious.I feel like strangling him whenever he torments me, Harry and Ron!" She made a choking gesture. "I already slapped him in our third year!"
Cho lifted an eyebrow. She doesn't think she has ever seen so much hate in Hermione.
"Do you hate him that much?"
"This and more," Hermione answered slowly. "But seriously. What do you find in him that's so great?"
Cho thought a moment.
"Well, he a much sweeter and nicer side. But he's still the bad bloke. He could just sweet me off my feet with that charm of his.I don't think I've ever met someone like that. Well, maybe Cedric. Except he wasn't bad." She had a dreamy look in her eyes.
Hermione sat there stiffly looking disgusted. She couldn't ever imagine sweet, nice, romantic Draco Malfoy. Never, ever! She wouldn't intend to either.
"Ew." She muttered to herself. "He's just absolutely great," Cho snapped back to reality. "In my opinion of course."
"I have never heard anyone describe Malfoy like that, until now." Hermione shuddered.
Cho laughed.
"He's not as mean as you think."
"You mean he's not cruel if he likes you." Hermione retorted.
Cho sat there and continued to stare out the window thinking about what Hermione just said. The two of them sat silently for the rest of the hour.
