Chapter 1 ~ Home Sweet Home
Both Draco and Cho arrived in their homes at sun down. Cho went back to her happy self, and her sadness from missing Draco was no longer strong. Draco, on the other hand, kept his sadness while entering the dark, tranquil mansion he called home. Cho never left his mind since their departure on Platform 9 ¾ earlier that day. He could hardly wait until Christmas was over.

"Come Draco, quickly!" My father hurried me across our front lawn. "Your mother wants to see you." I just got here, and already my father speaks to me so harshly. I dragged my heavy bags through the front door and give them to Ari, out new house elf. We got Ari last year as a replacement to Dobby. That stupid, scarhead Potter tricked my father into freeing Dobby a few years back, so now we've got Ari. At least she's quiet and more obedient.
"Draco, dear? Is that you?" My mother called from the next room. As I was about to answer, my father spoke.
"Yes Narcissa he's here."
I heard my mother rush from the next room. Her shoes clicked on the floor as she walked.
"Oh, there you are!" She gave me quiet a tight hug, but I loved it. She always smelled so sweet. "So, how's school?"
"Fine." I answered, trying to sound cheerful. My mother was great, but sometimes she was just a bit too excited. Well, it beats my father's cruelness. Sometimes I wonder why my mother ever agreed to marry my father. They are completely different.
"Oh, alright then," my mother paused. "Um, why don't you. go upstairs and rest. You had a tiring trip." She kissed me on the cheek and went back to her business.
I was walking up the staircase when my father called me.
"Draco!" He bellowed.
"Yeah?"
My father's eyes softened and so did his voice.
"Pansy.did she like the gifts?"
At first I had no idea what he was talking about, but then I realized what he meant.
"Um, she loved it. She was absolutely thrilled when she saw it."
"Good, good. Did you two have a nice time at the.. The Yule Ball?"
"Oh yeah," I said a little sarcastically. "We had a great time. Just like last year."
"I remember last year, yes. Didn't that boy of Amos Diggory die? Cedric?" My father paused and went back to his cruel self. "Amos has been falling back because of his son's death. Huh." He sneered more evilly than I do.
I finally went up to my room. Alone to think about Cho at last. Just like I said to her on the train, I miss her terribly. Maybe even more.
~*~*~*~*~..::~* Cho *~::..~*~*~*~*~
I opened the door to my two-story house and my three-year-old sister, Mei- Lin (we call her May), and my puffskein, Bounce, immediately hauled me.
"Cho! Eeeee!" My screeched. She ran as fast as her short legs could carry her. Her red sundress blew backwards. At the same time, Bounce hopped towards me making a usual puffskein cry.
"Hi!" I let my bags go and bent down to hug my sister and pet Bounce. "Uh, mum? Is it just I or has Bounce gotten bigger. I don't think he's supposed to look like that. He's only two years old."
"Well homey, your-"
"I feed Bounce good!" May interrupted happily. "Come see!" I looked at Bounce worried as May took me by the hand to our backyard. She pointed at all the flowers and plants. Or what seemed to be what was left of them. Only braches and twigs stood on the grass and soil.
"I feed, I feed!" May seemed very proud of herself.
"Oh god. mum!" I couldn't believe it. I ran into the house. "Mum! Did you see the backyard?!"
"Cho, I saw. Your father and I were more surprised than you. Believe me. I practically screamed at the top of my lungs! All the work I've done, tending the plants and trimming them, making sure they were perfect has all gone to waste. I punished May to one week of no muggle television." My mom was obviously trying to calm me down.
"That's it?! That's her punishment?! One week of no muggle television?! Ugh!" That was no punishment. That was a living lifestyle! Everyone in the wizarding world practically lived without a T.V!
"Cho Chang!" My mom scolded. "May is just but a toddler, so she deserves a punishment for her age! Not one fit for a sixteen year old!"
"Alright! Sorry." I didn't realize it, but for the first time ever, I sneered. I didn't know I was doing it until my mom spoke again.
"Was that a sneer I just witnessed young lady?!" She gasped. She hated sneering because Lucius and Draco sneered, and she hated them." We do not sneer nor do anything those hoodlums, like the Malfoys, do! You had best wipe that off you face this instant or you'll be grounded through Christmas!"
My eyes grew wide and I cupped my hands over my mouth. I quickly ran upstairs to my room. I was so quick that when I turned, I almost slipped. When I got to my room, I immediately shut the door behind me.
"I cannot believe I just sneered. I cannot believe I just sneered. I cannot believe I just sneered!" Those words kept on coming out of my mouth. I plopped down on my bed and looked up at the sky and cloud painted ceiling. "Draco, look what you've done. You've influenced me." I muttered. I closed my eyes and forced myself to go to sleep.
