Chapter 12 - Miss Granger vrs Cho

(Note : I just got my copy of Ootp ! Yay !)

"I'd like a word with you." Came a voice that Hermione didn't want to here.

It was Cho.

"Outside." She added, and at that she had Hermione by the sleeve and was marching her out the door. Then when they made it outside it became clear that Cho didn't want a word, she wanted a chunk of hair.

Hermione hit the ground but she didn't give up there. Within seconds she had rolled over so that she was on top of Cho and then they stopped.

"I don't want to do this." Hermione said as the two girls stared into each others eyes.

"You scared ?" Cho asked, not letting go at all, but instead increasing her grip on Hermione's hair.

"No" hermione said, half lying. "I just know that Harry love's you and that I was wrong to kiss him, and that I want you two to be together." And then Hermione burst into tears. Cho loosened her grip.

"You kissed Harry ?" She said, a little less annoyed.

"Yes." Hermione said, wiping her eyes with her free hand.

"And Harry love's me ?" Cho added, this time without any anger.

"Yes." Harry said. "Yes I do."

"Harry !" Cho and Hermione said together and then Hermione stood up.

"I wasn't pinning Cho down she.." Hermione began, but she needn't continue. Harry put up his hand and said, just like Dumbledor, Hermione thought.

"It's fine, I saw the whole thing."

Cho stood up and moved to hug Harry. But Harry stepped back.

"I Love you Cho." He said, and then he turned to Hermione. "But if you hate Hermione than we can never be together."

And then Hermione, as if the whole thing hadn't happened, put her hand out to be shook.

It took a while. But Cho shook it and then within the next few seconds she was in Harry's arms.

"I want to still be your friend Harry." Hermione said, feeling left out.

"Well I'm never gonna talk to you ever again." Harry replied. "Unless you go talk to Ron.
