Cho awoke to Professor McGonagal standing over her and feeling her head. Professor McGonagall jumped whenever she saw that Cho's eyes were open.
"Ms. Chang, are you alright?" she asked her taking a step back.
"Uh, yes, I think so," Cho replied.
"Exactly, what happened to you?" Professor McGonagall asked her eyeing her skeptically. Professor McGonagall bent down to the ground, picked up Cho's wand, and handed it to her.
"Oh, it was nothing. Thank you, Proffesor," Cho said as she took her wand and left quickly. Oh, I am going to get Pansy if it is the last thing I do, Cho thought to herself. Cho was walking past the library when she ran right into Marietta.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Marietta!" Cho said, helping Marietta to her feet.
"Cho, where have you been? You've had us all worried sick!" Marietta said, brushing the dirt off of her robes.
"I've just been out and about," Cho said with a devilish glint in her eyes. Marietta winced.

Draco paced around the common room. He couldn't stop thinking about Cho. All he could think of was her smile, her eyes, her hair, and just her. He had never been attracted to her before. He couldn't help but wonder what hat made him attracted to her all of a sudden. Draco fell in to a chair by the fire.
"Hey Draco, what's up with you?" Goyle said in his usual stupor. Draco looked at him with malicious eyes.
"Nothing, Goyle. Since when is my business your concern?"
"Sorry, Draco," he said looking at Crabbe, confused.
Draco shook his head. Sometimes he wondered why he hung around Crabbe and Goyle also. They were awfully stupid. Draco supposed that he hung around them because they did whatever he told them too. He could tell them to jump off of a bridge and they would probably follow his orders. Draco heard a slight tapping on the window to his left. He turned around and saw his owl fluttering there, tapping on the glass with her beak. He let the large tawny owl in, and removed a letter from her leg. She flew away again, without even pausing to be petted or fed. Draco opened the scroll and read quietly to himself.
Dear Draco,
How are you? Everything is going well here. Your mother misses you. Your uncle and aunt, Raeann and Antonia, appear to be having some business problems.
They will be moving in with us at the manor soon. You are to be nice and presentable towards them whenever you come home for Christmas break, or else, I will see to it that you regret you weren't.
On another note, your lovely cousin Marissa will begin attended Hogwarts with you soon. I cannot say when, but she will search for you once she gets there.
Signed,
Lucius.
Draco cursed. His damned bitter cousin Marissa would be attended Hogwarts soon. She would more than likely be there to tell Lucius everything that Draco does. Draco could stand his cousin Marissa and her bitching.

Cho awoke late and had to get dressed in five minutes in order not to be late for breakfast. She ran down to breakfast and seated herself beside Marietta and the other Ravenclaw girls.
"Why didn't you guys wake me up?" Cho asked. Marietta shrugged.
"We figured you had your alarm set for later, like you always do," she said simply. Cho shrugged her head and let them continue they're gossiping. Cho heard them say something about Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown but chose not to listen. She could care less what they were doing. She turned her head and looked up and down the Slythering table for Draco. She found him, and smiled at him. He grinned back, and pointed to the hall as he started to get up. Cho took this as a lead to follow him. She got up, mumbled something about forgetting books, and left.
"Yes?" Cho said, once they were both out in the entrance hall.
"My cousin, Marissa, will be attended Hogwarts soon. She's a 7th year, like you," Draco told Cho. She nodded.
"What does that mean?" she asked him.
"It means to watch the hell out. My cousin is pure evil. I have to go though, I will meet up with you later," Draco said without giving Cho a kiss or anything. She watched his back and he walked away. His cousin couldn't be that evil. Cho contemplated all of this on her way to her first class. By the time she had made it to her class, Cho had decided that she was going to befriend Draco's cousin.

Marissa Shaffer was a small, but beautiful girl. She was 16 years old, turning 17 in January. She was around 4'9" in height. She was smaller than every girl in her year, and the year below her. She was short, but she had no difficulties in getting boy's attentions. She had long, flowing, beautiful, light blonde hair. Her eyes were the perfect blue to match. Althought her height had not progressed, that did not mean that her breasts had not. She was the shortest in her year, with almost the largest breasts.
Marissa awoke early on the morning she was supposed to be starting Hogwarts. She glanced around the room they had prepared for her at Malfoy mansion. Everything was mismatched. Her bed was dark blue, and the walls were green. She didn't like stuff that didn't match, it made her feel dirty. She threw off her night robes and put on her ugly black school robes. She disliked Hogwarts already and she hadn't even made it there yet. She missed Durmstrang and it's bottle-green beautiful robes.
"Marissa!" she heard her mother shout for her downstairs. "Get your arse down here, we're leaving!" Marissa groaned, and grabbed her stuff together haphazardly. She got downstairs as quickly as she could carrying three trunks. Her father quickly took two of her trunks and put them in the car they had borrowed. The drive to the Hogwarts gates was quite a long and boring one. Marissa sat in the back with her mother and fumbled with her robes. They arrivived at Hogwarts, and Marissa stared up the castle. Just looking at the castle made her miss Durmstrang. Durmstrang castle was much larger than Hogwarts. Althought, Hogwarts did seem to have a lot more grounds that Durmstrang. Marissa didn't mind this though, she rarely went outside anyway.
"Off you go Marissa. Uncle Lucius has offered to accompany you, he knows the headmaster," Her father said helping her and her trunks out of the car.
"Bye dear, see you Christmas holidays," her mother said smiling.

"Draco Malfoy, you arrogant bastard!" Marissa shouted at her younger cousin, once she had gotten settled into her new house, Ravenclaw. Draco winced and turned around.
"Hello, dear cousin Marissa," he said.
"Why do you always throw in that dear shit? You know damned well you hate me," she said laughing at him.
"Yes, I do hate you. And do you know why? Because you're a bitch," Draco said staring at her.
"I know I'm a bitch, and that's what makes it okay," Marissa said. She glanced over at Cho. "And, who the hell is this, Draco?" she said, pointing at Cho.
"Oh, This is Cho Chang. Her mother knows mother," he said. Marissa sneered.
"You have the hots for my cousin, do you?" Marissa said to Cho.
"Uh, well, accutually," Cho stumbled. Marissa started laughing and walked away. Cho looked downcast. How am I ever going to become friends with that shrew? Well, if we're not friends, then that only leaves enemies. Cho thought to herself.
