Chapter 5 - Draco Confesses

Three days had passed since Cho had fallen into a coma. There were many rumours about where Cho had gone, but only Harry Potter, Cherry, Missy and Delphine knew the truth. Cherry, Missy and Delphine visited regularly, hoping that she would finally wake up. But they had no such luck yet.
Harry Potter, who had an un-secret crush on Cho, had been by Cho's bedside the longest. Everyday, before lessons, in between lessons, and after lessons, Harry went to see her - he felt that he should - he was the guy who bought her up to the Hospital Wing after all
One evening, Harry had been by Cho's bedside for nearly two hours, he wasn't bored though, all he did was stare at Cho's peaceful face.fantasizing about her. Now and again, he'd touch her face and hold her hand.
"Please wake up, Cho.it's been too long" Harry pleaded.
He heard some pairs of footsteps coming through. He looked over to the entrance to see Cho's friends. Harry smiled charmingly at them
"Still not awake yet?" Delphine asked. There was a hint of impatience in her voice.
"No - not yet" Harry answered sadly.
"You really care for Cho huh?" Cherry asked, grinning.
Harry turned beetroot red.
"Well, it was a nasty injury -"
"Don't be embarrassed Harry. We think it's kinda cute.I think you should ask her out" Cherry said.
Harry smiled awkwardly.
"Well - at least you'd make a better boyfriend than that Malfoy -"
BANG
The doors of the Hospital Wing flung open and in came a red-faced panting Draco. He rushed over to Cho's bed, pushed Harry aside, and held her hand tightly.
"Cho? Wake up - please.I love you" Draco whispered urgently. He kissed Cho's hand gently.
"Malfoy what are you doing here?" Harry said in disgust.
Draco looked up. He was so worried about Cho that he forgot to be nasty to Harry.
"I-I found out that Cho had been in this-this injury of some sort.so I rushed over here to see if she was OK." Draco said rapidly.
"Well you're a bit late aren't you? She's been in a coma for three days, dickhead" Harry snarled.
Draco felt the heat rise in his face. He slowly stood up and turned to face Harry. Missy, Cherry and Delphine sniggered.
"Look Malfoy, I think you should piss off somewhere. Cho'll probably hex you when she wakes up" Missy implied.
"Stop acting like a know-it-all, bitch. You know nothing, so shut your face" Draco sneered. "Cho loves me -"
"Oh really? Is that why she was calling you a jerk and a loser?"
"Listen, I was just so furious with her that she chose you guys over me. But I love her - I really d-"
"Oh is that how you show your love for others? By hurting them?"
Draco gave them all an evil look. He shook his head in disapproval and headed out of the Hospital Wing.
