The next morning, Cho arose to Liana shouting at her to get up as lessons were starting shortly and she had a few minutes to go and grab some breakfast. As Cho realized she had overslept, she quickly dressed and walked down to breakfast with Marietta and Liana. Cho sat down at the Ravenclaw table on the other side of Marietta where timetables were being handed out. Cho helped herself to some toast as she glanced at her timetable. Marietta was in a deep conversation with Terry. Cho looked up and saw Michael starring at her; Cho forced her face into a grin. Cho looked at her timetable; double transfiguration, defense against the dark arts and potions today. Cho sighed, wishing she could give up potions but she needed it to be a healer.
"Oi Cho," asked Abigail, "I wonder who that teacher is sitting over there," Must be our new defense against the dark arts teacher."
Cho looked over at the table and saw a lady with bright pink bubble-gum coloured hair who was talking quite happily to Professor Dumbledore. (A/N-I forgot to mention her during Dumbledore's speech, sorry about that.)
"She looks a lot friendlier than that Professor Umbridge, don't you think?"
"Definitely," agreed Cho as she watched Harry walk in. The lady with the pink hair stood up and walked over to Harry and his friend whom Cho learnt was Ron Weasley. Harry said something and the lady and Ron laughed. Cho saw Harry wave to the lady and went to seat himself at the Gryffindor table.
"Ah, well, come on, we've got to get going to our lessons. Cho, Marietta, Abigail and Sky stood up to head to transfiguration as Liana walked to Ancient runes.
"Bye Cho," called out Michael.
"Bye Michael," replied Cho and she felt guilty that she had not payed the least bit of attention to Michael during breakfast but then again she didn't want to go out with Michael any more, she didn't like him that way.
As soon as they sat down, Professor McGonagall greeted them in her usual way. Now this year is an extremely important year as you will be taking NEWTS. I see no reason why you can't all achieve a NEWT in transfiguration as you achieved at least Exceeds expectations in your owl. However this year will be even tougher so I suggest you study hard from the beginning. Cho looked around at her friends; Marietta and Sky were listening to Professor McGonagall with rapt attention whereas Abigail was already dawdling on a piece of paper but Abigail was really smart and was able to achieve great marks on all her tests with very little study. Cho tried hard and school as her parents were really keen for her to be a healer and to do well in school. They were really pleased when she was placed in Ravenclaw but she had a feeling that her parents wouldn't like the fact that Yen-Lee was in Gryffindor despite the fact that Gryffindor was so obviously the best house. The lesson today was exceptionally tough and even Abigail had to concentrate. However Cho managed the transfiguration from a pig to a chair fine in the end and was one of the few who managed to. Marietta's was okay but her chair was still a dirty pink.
The next lesson was defense against the dark arts and it was an exceptionally great lesson. The bright pink haired lady who introduced herself as Nymphadora Tonks was a very good teacher. She was a metamorphmagus, which Cho and many other people thought was very interesting. They spent a very interesting lesson, learning how to defend themselves against a certain spell. It was a very interesting lesson and by the end of it, the whole class was looking quite content. Tonks smiled at all of them and Cho noticed she seemed like a really nice person. Cho's day had gone exceptionally well and she was feeling quite happy all through back until it was time for potions, Cho's least favourite subject but unfortunately was essential to become a healer. Cho, Marietta, Abigail and Liana now walked towards potions quickly so Professor Snape wouldn't dock any points from them. Potions and herbology were the only classes that Liana was with them. However Sky didn't do potions as she received only an acceptable in her owl so instead she had chosen to do divination for a reason unknown to others as divination was the most useless subject. Cho suspected it had something to do with how gorgeous Firenze the centaur was.
Cho, Marietta, Abigail and Liana all set up their cauldrons and sat down. Professor Snape stood up to speak without so much as a simple Good afternoon. Today's lesson was an exceptionally complex potion called the Mal potion which was apparently supposed to bring bad luck to the drinker. It was the most difficult potion, Cho had ever seen.
"Abigail De-Hayr, 20 points from Ravenclaw and a detention with me 5:00pm tomorrow, how dare you not bother to make the potion I have instructed you to do." said Professor Snape fuming. Abigail had obviously not even bothered to start on her potion. Typical Abigail thought Cho as she collected up her potion and took it to Professor Snape to mark. Relieved to find she received an E, Cho cleaned up the rest of her potion and looked around at Abigail who had apparently received an O even though she did her potion like in the five minutes when Professor Snape had told her off.
"I want a foot on the mal potion to be handed in next lesson." The class groaned. Marietta, Abigail and Liana followed Cho out of the classroom.
"Well, what did everyone get for their mark?" asked Liana.
"I did great, I got an O, ah Snape, I could tell he didn't want to give me an O," replied Abigail smiled.
"I got an E," replied Cho
There was a silence as they walked along.
"What about you Marietta," asked Cho
"I hate Snape," scowled Marietta, "I got a P; I swear I should've received a better mark than that."That Slytherin guy received an A and his was worse than mine!"
"Ah well, doesn't matter, Snape won't be marking in the exam anyway so don't worry about it," exclaimed Abigail as she started chatting to Cho about trying out for chaser of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team now that Roger Davies had finally left. Abigail had always hated Roger as he was such a player. Sky actually went out with him last Valentines day when Cho went out with Harry. They all walked up to the Ravenclaw common room where they met up with Sky. Liana and Sky started doing their homework while Marietta, Cho and Abigail sat down next to the Ravenclaw fire.
"Lets play a quick game of wizard chess just before dinner," said Marietta
"Excellent," replied Cho and Abigail together and they started giggling. Cho and her friends loved playing games.
"Okay, why don't we make it Marietta and I versus you," said Cho
"Hehe, you need two people do beat me," laughed Abigail.
"Abigail," sighed Marietta and all of them started playing chess while Sky and Liana remained doing their homework. Cho, Marietta and Abigail had a break during their game where they went down to dinner but when they arrived back, Cho felt rather ill and insisted she needed some sleep despite Abigail's protests of the unfinished chess game, so Cho left Marietta and Abigail to finish the game. Cho decided she would complete Snape's essay tomorrow evening as that was the only bit of work they had to do. Cho wasn't that ill but at dinner she took a glance at Harry Potter and he was talking to that Hermione Granger and Cho felt really jealous and couldn't bare it. Tomorrow she was breaking up with Michael Korner. Cho dressed in her pajamas and fell asleep.
