Chapter 2 - A Year On
Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw 6th year, was sitting alone in her dormitory on her four-poster. It was only 7:30pm, but for some reason, she just wanted to curl up in bed and sleep.but she wasn't even tired... she got out her diary in which she filled in daily.
"June 21st." she said to herself, nibbling the end of her pen. 'Well, Missy got a detention off Snape today for setting off dungbombs in class.man she should really get together with the Weasley twins' She chuckled to herself as she finished writing that sentence. 'Oh, and that Harry Potter just can't get it through his head that I don't see him as boyfriend material.I mean, he's a nice guy and everything, but I just don't see him as a boyfriend. I know he likes me, bless him.everyone knows. He asked me to practise Qudditch with him tomorrow, but I said no because I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I'd end up hurting him otherwise.if he does ask me out. Anyways, I'm gonna go now. Bye' Cho shut the diary and placed if back into her drawer. She fumbled around for a while, trying to find anything she could play with. She reached to the very back of the drawer and her hand felt something. She pulled it out and looked at it.
'Diary 2000'
Cho flicked through last year's pages and smiled to herself as she read what happened on her friends' birthdays. She decided to go to May 10th - her own birthday.
'My 15t birthday today! She read to herself. Cherry got me these really nice bath essence things - all cherry flavoured! Missy got me some Cockroach Clusters, Chocolate Frogs, a stack of Exploding Snap game cards and 7 Dungbombs.man she should really get together with the Weasley twins. Cho laughed. But Draco's present was by far the best present I have ever received in my life. It was this beautiful necklace with a heart attached to it. There was "I Love You" carved on it'
*Flashback*
"Oh, Draco.that necklace is.is just.beautiful." Cho gasped as she was holding it delicately in her hands. "Let me put it on you" Draco took the necklace from her hands and chained it around her neck. He flipped the heart over so that he carving could be seen. "You look beautiful Cho." Draco whispered, cupping her cheek with his hand. Cho smiled sweetly. She didn't know what to say. She leaned forward and pressed her lips against his'. Cho felt so much love for Draco. Nothing really mattered at that moment. Draco wrapped his arms around Cho, and forced her down onto the grass, not breaking the kiss. Their lips were pushing against each other furiously, the force was strong, and they rolled about on the grass playfully. Finally, they pulled apart. Draco was laying on his back as Cho was laying on her front, behind him. Her face was pulled up close over his head. Cho stared at Draco's upside down face. "How did I ever get you?" she asked. "How did I ever get you?" Draco said. Cho giggled and lay on her back with her head next to Dracos'. They laid there for a second in silence. "Choco?" Draco said suddenly. Cho laughed at the nickname Draco gave her. It was a mix between Cho's name and the last bit of Draco's name. "Mm?" she mumbled. Draco sighed thoughtfully. "Don't ever leave me." he replied shortly. Cho turned her head to face him, but he was still staring up to the sapphire blue sky. She got on her front again and stared at Draco's upside down face. His eyes came into focus. Cho bent down, her hair brushing Draco's cheeks softly. Then they shared a romantic upside down kiss. "I won't." Cho whispered.
*Out of flashback*
Cho opened her eyes. It was 8:15pm. She smiled to herself as she remembered telling Draco she would never leave him. And look at her now. It had been a year since Cho had broken up with Draco. It wasn't even for a good reason as well. Her friends detested Draco. Everyone in Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and especially Gryffindor did. Cho's friends threatened to abandon her if she didn't dump Draco. The thought of that scared her, so she did what she had to do. She didn't want to lose her friends. They were great friends - even if they couldn't learn to appreciate Draco. She couldn't change their opinion of him.
But now that Cho looked back, she thought of how stupid she had been to dump him for the approval of her friends. She felt disgusted with herself. Why hadn't she stood up to her so called friends and carried on dating Draco?
A tear rolled down her cheek. She had just lost him. She couldn't believe that it had taken her so long to realize that. She regretted the day they parted.
Her anger seemed just about ready to erupt, and she let out a relieving cry as she grabbed the nearest thing (The diary of 2000) and threw it across the room. She sat silently on the bed, crying. When she had calmed herself down, she went over to pick up the open diary. The word "ARGH" written in a diary entry caught her eye.
'June 21st
Today, I broke up with Draco. ARGH! She read. It had been exactly a year since she broke up with Draco. I bought him out to Hogwarts Romance Spot and told him - there and then. It was awful'
Cho's eyes built up with tears as she reminisce that day,
And then, she had a strong desire to go down to the bench by the lake - she thought that the memories would flood back to her if she were there.
She made for the dormitory door and headed down to the Common Room. Cho bagged herself a few turned heads her way as she was hastily wiping away her tears.
"Where're you going, Cho?" her friend, Delphine called.
"Just somewhere" Cho mumbled back, shutting the portrait hole door behind her.
