The next morning Cho woke up to the sound of people talking and eating Honeydukes sweets. It was a cold Sunday afternoon and Cho was feeling rather down for some reason. She lay there confused for a minute when she remembered what she had overheard yesterday.

"Hey Cho, you up yet?" called Liana as Marietta and Abigail bent right over to look at her in the face.

"Are, you alright, Cho? You look as if you've been crying." said Abigail as she gave Cho a warm hug.

Marietta looked over at Cho curiously.

"I'll be fine." replied Cho simply as she looked around the room and spotted Sky in the corner. Sky was in tears and had Honeydukes wrappers scattered all around her. From what Cho had gathered, her friends must have been trying to cheer Sky up for some reason.

"What's up with Sky?" mouthed Cho to Marietta. Liana and Abigail had gone back to comfort Sky.

"She's in tears. The thing with Mitchell didn't go to well. If you ask me she's totally overreacting because it was all her fault. Sky asked him out really sweetly and I suppose Mitchell couldn't resist or just didn't want to hurt her feelings. Apparently when they arrived at Hogsmeade, Mitchell started a friendly conversation with Sky but Sky really didn't get along with him and now the whole school thinks she's a player. Throughout Hogsmeade when she realized that Mitchell wasn't for her and left him, she walked a few paces and then was bullied, mainly by Slytherins but a few Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs chipped in some insults as well." whispered Marietta. "The Slytherins hurt her physically. She has been hexed and everything. She only arrived here this morning as she was at the hospital wing all through last night getting treated."
Cho sighed. Even though Sky was a player, she didn't deserve all that. What was with some people. Cho was glad that people seemed to have gotten over her as being a player but she didn't like the fact that people were hurting her friend as Sky was a nice enough person. Even though Cho still had Harry's words on her mind she got up and went over to Sky and put her arm around her.

"Cho," said Sky weakly. "No-one is going to want to come to the Hogwarts ball with me because of this. They'll think I'm just going out with them for their looks. I feel terrible because I know that it's true. I do go out with people because of their looks and now I'm dreadfully ashamed. I really am!"

"It's alright Sky," replied Abigail softly as she gave Sky another chocolate frog. Cho was always surprised that Abigail liked Sky as Abigail hated players but then again Sky was a nice person who shared their dormitory.

"Sky, you'll be fine with getting someone to go to the ball with you. Everyone will get over this sooner or later. It happened to me although not nearly as bad." said Cho but she could feel the doubt in her own words.

Sky just put her head to her knees and continued to sob.

"Sky, you don't feel up to going to class today do you?" said Abigail now starting to smile. Sky raised her head.

"How will I get out of it? I can't skip class because I'm sad."
"No problem, just take one of the Weasley's sweets that they made that make you sick. What would you rather." said Abigail as she pulled out a bag full of stuff. "Vomiting, fever, bleeding nose, cough, hoarse throat, fainting?"

"Oh, please can I have the one that makes you faint?" said Sky now looking thoroughly relieved.

 "That's what I want to do right now just fall asleep and block everything out of my mind."

"Sure thing Sky!" smiled Abigail as she pulled out a small chocolate that was wrapped up in yellow coloured paper.

"What you should do, is go to Madam Pomfey now, and say you're feeling sick and then quickly pop the lolly in your mouth and I suppose you'll faint." said Liana.

"Yes, that's a good idea," agreed Cho while Abigail nodded her head vividly. All of them including Marietta took Sky down to the hospital wing where the lolly was successful in the fact that Sky fainted. The rest of the day was rather eventless for Cho. She attended her classes, did a little bit of study and even went to Quidditch practice in the afternoon with Abigail.

At dinner time, Cho was exhausted but hungry all the same from Quidditch.

"Hey Abigail, how did it go with George at Hogsmeade?" asked Cho.

"He's really nice and he has the best sense of humour." replied Abigail simply as she smiled at Cho.

"So, are you going out with him yet?" asked Cho.

Abigail grinned at Cho.

"I've only just met him but I really like him. He's perfect." said Abigail dreamily. After dinner, Marietta had to go up to finish her homework as she hadn't done much at all. Cho, Abigail and Liana walked down to the hospital wing together to visit Sky. Madam Pomfey greeted them at the entrance.

"So, who are you wanting to visit?" she asked

"Sky Magoa." replied Cho. "Please, just five minutes?"

"Oh, ok, straight to the middle wing." said Madam Pomfey.

"Hey Sky," called Cho, Abigail and Liana.

"Hey guys. Have fun at school today?" said Sky.

"Nah, it was boring." replied Cho.

"Are you feeling better?" asked Liana as Abigail gave Sky a hug.

"Yes, heaps thanks" replied Sky. "In fact, I'm going to leave now. It's very lonely and boring down here in the hospital wing. "

Madam Pomfey then came in.

"Come on, that's enough, talking for today. Out, out.

"Madam Pomfey, I'm feeling a lot better now. Can I please leave?"

"Are you sure? I don't want you to faint again."

"Yes, I'm sure. Thank-you," replied Sky as she and Cho, Liana and Abigail walked out of the hospital wing.

When the four of them arrived at the Ravenclaw common room, they were greeted by Marietta and Terry who were playing a game of wizard chess. Cho tried to block Sky's views from many of the people as some were staring at her with even more disgust then they had stared at Cho.

"I'm going to bed now," whispered Sky. "I feel rather uncomfortable."

"Alright, see-you tomorrow morning," said Abigail brightly.

"Yeah, see-you," replied Cho and Liana.

However Marietta was too wrapped up in her game of chess with Terry.

"Why don't we play a game of chess?" said Liana.

"Yes, lets! We haven't played in ages. Oh, this is going to be so fun." said Abigail excitedly.

"Okay, as per usual it's me and Liana versus you." said Cho as Abigail grinned.

Abigail sighed.

"I bet I could beat you if there were twenty people altogether against me."

Liana and Cho laughed.

"Agreed, there will be twenty other people." replied Cho as she called over eighteen other people including Marietta and Terry.

"Oh, boy this is going to be fun," Abigail said grinning evilly. "Let the game begin." whilst clapping her hands like Dumbledore did when the feast was about to begin. Everyone laughed and seemed in very high spirits. They started playing the game. With Abigail's one brain against twenty others, the game was tough even though Abigail was the smartest one of the lot. However Abigail was absolutely amazing, she got so badly tricked in the game but managed to save herself and in the end it was no surprise that Abigail won. After all, she is about as good at chess as Ron Weasley.

"Abigail," everyone screamed. "How do you do it?"

"Ha-ha, my secret." replied Abigail.

Cho and her friends stayed up till 12:00 that night laughing and talking to other people in Ravenclaw. It was a very memorable, fun night for Cho and it took her mind off what she had heard about Harry yesterday. At 12:00 Cho went to bed and was glad to find that Sky was fast asleep.
