Chapter Four:
Cho busied herself during her tutoring with Draco Malfoy by studying her N.E.W.T. that was approaching quickly. She needed the time to do her homework and study her finals.
While Draco reads and writes down notes (quietly), her face is covered by books. She was surprised and pleased to have Draco working in silence. But that soon ended…
"I saw you looking at that Pothead this morning," said Draco breaking the silence.
Cho ignored him. Her eyes still concentrating on her open book. If she ignored him, maybe he would get the idea that he should shut up.
He smirked when Cho didn't respond. "Isn't because you have a thing for him?"
'Just keep reading, maybe he would stop,' Cho thought. Then she heard him laugh maliciously.
"So you do like that Pothead git! Why, I wouldn't be surprise if you guys even dated-"
"We did," said Cho putting her book down to face him. His expression changed to a sudden shock.
"You… and Pothead…. you… and… Pothead!" His laughter came back but even more vigorous. "You and Pothead! Chang and the Boy who lived! You and Pothead!" He slammed his fist against the table to control his laughter. Cho rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Boy! I would never imagined that Scarhead dating someone like… like…YOU! What did he do to get your attention? Huh?"
"Since when did you care?" Cho spat.
"Since I just found out that you dated the Boy-Who-Lived. Which makes you the Girl-Who's-Dating-the-Boy-Who-Lived!"
"I'm not dating him anymore…" she said in a small voice.
"What!" Draco continued to laugh.
"I heard he's seeing that Granger."
"Pothead and that Mudblood! HaHa! And I thought that Freckled Faced Weasley git liked her! Wow! This is priceless!"
"What do mean?" Draco ignored her and rubbed his hands together.
"Oh! I can't wait to see their faces when I *cough* 'mention' about you to Four-Eyes-Goody-Goody and his two blokes!"
"Well, while you do that, I'll 'mention' them about your private tutor lessons with me," Cho smirked.
Draco's laugh quickly vanished and glared at her. "You wouldn't, Chang."
"Well, you see, as Head Girl, I do have some advantages, you know?" Cho smiled sweetly as she saw his look of revulsion towards her. "Boy! I can't wait to see their faces when I 'mention' you to them."
Draco muttered something and continued reading in silence once again. Cho made a satisfying smile as she went back to her studying.
Cho left the classroom with a few explanations to Draco of what he read (without any rude remark) and hurried to her common room to continuing studying.

"What do you mean you're coming at the last thirty minutes of practice!?!"
"I…uh…like I said-"
"What happen to the 'I will!'" Roger yelled hysterically. As Roger and Cho walked to class together, Cho told him she can only make it for practice at the last thirty minutes. Few heads turn, when Roger exclaimed.
"Roger, calm down. People are starring," Cho whispered as she looked around.
"I don't care! We need you for more than thirty minutes!"
"I know. But… Professor-"
"Professor said this, Professor said that! Cho! Come on!"
"ROGER! Listen to me!" Cho ignored the snickering and whispers around them. "I can only come by today for the last few minutes of practice…" she said in a calm, small voice. "…after my tutor session is over. Now, Professor Sprout told me she would try to find a another classroom for the tutor around seven o'clock. So if it all works well, I can come by for practice by four."
Roger was breathing hard, sucking all what Cho had said. She starred at him for a minute before coming in Charms class.

"Ok… this plant is highly dangerous, but their leaves are useful for healing. The leaves provide a lot of vitamins and minerals, and few other things in there - magical stuff," Cho was talking rather fast as she explained all that to Draco, who had a confused look. "And this plant is poisonous, so you just don't want to mess with that-"
"Why are talking too fast? I can't understand a word you're saying," Draco interrupted.
"Because I have Quidditch practice and I need to arrive there soon. Or else my captain might kill me."
"Oh! So you're the second team who had the four o'clock pitch. It was lucky for us, we had it before I had my tutoring lessons," Draco drawled, "Unlike you, who is always busy 24/7, at least I know how to balance my time."
"-this plant has unusual aroma," Cho said through gritted teeth, as if he said nothing. "Like you, has a stench that most people avoid and stay away from."
Draco narrowed his eyes at her.
"Ok… I think that's it for today. Now hurry up and leave!" Cho packed her stuff as quickly as possible, while Draco took his time. "Come on, Malfoy! Pick up the pace!"
"I don't think so," he twanged. "I think I'll just take my time. Book by book, into my bag." He gave her smirk and put is book in his bag in slow motion.
"Damn it!" Cho went to him, grabbed his books and shoved it all in the bag. She threw the bag at Draco, who almost tripped back from the heavy load. "We'll continue tomorrow, unless Professor Sprout changed the time and room."
"What?"
"Just go!" Cho pushed him out the classroom and locked the door. She ran through the halls and halt when she saw Professor Sprout coming.
"Hello, Professor."
"Hello, Miss Chang," Professor Sprout was smiling beamingly, " I have good news. I found a classroom for you."
"That's great!" Cho said quickly. She checked her watch, she can only practice for the last twenty minutes.
"The new classroom is across Professor Flitwick's class-"
"That old room?"
"Yes, it's never been used before, but I think it's useful. It's always open so you don't need the key. And you start at seven."
"Ha! Thank you, Professor!" Cho smiled wide, for the first time, and gave her the key. "I'm quite in a hurry, Professor. So I'll see you later. Thank you!" She ran pass her Professor to go to the locker room to change into her Quidditch robe.
~~~~~~~~~~
Cho ran towards the Quidditch field with her broom in her hand and at the same time clasping her robes together.
"I'm sorry, Roger. I-"
"You're late, Cho." Roger looked disappointed as he crossed his arms together.
"Roger, I-"
"For the last…" He checked his watch, "15 minutes of practice, you are going to run as many laps around this pitch. Now!"
Cho grunted and dropped her broom and started jogging.
'Well, at least tomorrow will work out smoothly,' Cho thought as she jogged.
A/N: Draco is being so immature. Cho is in trouble by her captain. Roger is being a jerk. sighs On with the next chapter!
