There she is! Draco mused as he hopped towards the garden. Ms. Sprouts gave permission for Cho and Draco to use the garden to help Draco better understand the different type of herbs. An idea flashed through Draco¡¦s mind as he stealthily tiptoed towards the undisturbed Ravenclaw seeker.
¡§BOO!¡¨
Cho whipped her head around, slashing her wand towards the offender. At the realization that it was Draco, she tucked her wand back into her robe.
¡§That was not nice, Drake.¡¨ Cho decided to call Draco Drake a month ago because she found it too formal to call her ¡§fianc顨 Draco.
Draco beamed as he kneeled down next to Cho, studying the pot of plant in her hands.
¡§Um¡K what¡¦s that Cho-ey?¡¨ Cho followed Draco¡¦s gaze towards her plant.
Cho puffed out her chest and there was a glint of excitement in her eyes. Herbology was one of her favorite subjects at Hogwarts. In class, she was praised for being one of the knowledgeable ones of herbs.
¡§It¡¦s Abdonium Auditor. Its properties include concealment and that of listening in furtiveness.¡¨
Draco scratched his blond hair free of gel as he gave the raven hair girl a puzzling look.
Cho held up her index finger, motioning for Draco to hold on a moment as she went to the bench to retrieve her backpack. After minutes of ruffling in the sack, she took out a leather bound book with black letterings which read All You Need to Know about Abdonium Auditor.
Cho eyed Draco nonchalantly as she said thumbed the pages on her oversized book.
¡§My aunt gave it to me last Christmas when she found out about how much I love herbs. I didn¡¦t think this was ever going to be used for practical use,¡¨ Cho grinned at Draco.
¡§Cho-ey? You really love plants?¡¨ Draco gave a mischievous smile.
Knowing that look, Cho asked suspiciously, ¡§Why?¡¨
Draco shook his head as he jumped up suddenly. ¡§It¡¦s a surprise Choey! Close your eyes, I¡¦ll show you.¡¨
Cho brushed an irritated hand through her raven black hair as she refused the offer.
¡§Please!!! Pretty please! With a cherry on the top! I promise you it will be enormously completely absolutely fun!¡¨ Cho finally got up to accept as she couldn¡¦t resist that spirited smile from her ¡§Drake.¡¨
¡§This better be quick because I have to owl my mum after this.¡¨
Draco gripped on Cho¡¦s small, gentle hands and pulled her full blast towards the Forbidden Forest.
¡§Drake! No! Didn¡¦t I tell you the Forbidden Forest is absolutely prohibited to go in?¡¨ Cho tucked at Draco¡¦s large hands and tried to pull him back towards the castle.
¡§Choey, don¡¦t get your knickers all in a bunch now! I found this place sometime last week. Please come with me¡K just this once,¡¨ with that, Draco gave Cho a puppy-dog face.
After contemplating for three minutes, Cho finally gave in. ¡§I¡¦m going to do this, but I know I will regret this later on.¡¨
Draco pounded on his chest and said, ¡§I promise you won¡¦t regret this.¡¨
***
After what seemed like centuries of walking on dry leaves and crushing fallen branches, Cho eyed around the forest. I don¡¦t like this, I don¡¦t like this one bit was all that Cho could think about.
As Draco came to a halt, all Cho did was face a big oak tree and talk to it.
¡§Alright, go back and shatter poor Drake¡¦s heart but saving our bums? Or stay with Drake¡¦s plan and get killed by one of the monsters here and have our bodies all chewed up?¡¨ Cho bit her bottom lip as she said silently to the tree. Stay Cho! This voice said inside of Cho¡¦s head. ¡§But what if we really die in here. Good lord we won¡¦t even have a proper coffin!¡¨ Well then, you die knowing Drake was happy. ¡§What makes you think I care about Drake¡¦s feelings?¡¨ It¡¦s written all over your face Cho. ¡§No it¡¦s not, he¡¦s just a fiancé. ¡§He may be nice and adorable, with those grayish blue eyes that glints when he smiles and with those blond locks that¡K¡¨ Cho covered her mouth suddenly as it hit her that she was complimenting Draco. The very same Draco who taunted her during the summer. The same Draco who insulted her last year at school.
Cho was snapped back to reality when Draco pulled his hands on the small of Cho¡¦s back and pushed her towards a curtain of leaves, all the while pushing them aside.
¡§Drake¡K I¡K¡¨ Cho didn¡¦t finish before a gasp took over her breath.
¡§Do you like it?¡¨ Draco grinned, flashing his pearly white teeth.
¡§Like it? I love it!¡¨ Cho hugged Draco tightly as she squealed.
¡§Almost as much as you love me Choey?¡¨ Draco¡¦s eyes became clouded with something Cho couldn¡¦t place as he uttered those words. Those words were so slight that even at Cho¡¦s close distance with Draco, she could barely hear.
Cho tried to change the subject as she looked around at the garden filled with seas of flowers with red, green, blue, and all the colors you can name. Since it was dark in there, it is amazing that each plant was glittering proudly in their attributed color.
When Cho turned back towards Draco, he smashed his lips upon Cho¡¦s.
At first, it was a gentle smack on the lips, but then Draco¡¦s tongue began to massage Cho¡¦s bottom lip, asking for entrance.
As if Draco felt Cho¡¦s sudden stiffness, he began to knead Cho¡¦s arms gently, calming her.
At first, Cho was so shocked that she just stood there. But as Draco¡¦s tongue continued to manipulate Cho¡¦s lips, she became lost in trance. God, he sure doesn¡¦t act like a retarded person.
Cho admitted to Draco¡¦s invitation as she parted her lips. Both her and Draco¡¦s tongues danced in both of their mouths, with a certain urgency in the way they kiss. It is as if they needed to have this kiss more than anything, that if they don¡¦t do this, they will die. Cho couldn¡¦t stop the moan that erupted within her throat as she flicked her tongue within Draco¡¦s throat.
Cho was the first person to brake the kiss when she broke a part to catch her breath. When she stared at those eyes of Draco, they darkened into a midnight blue. God how I love those eyes.
Cho shook off her thoughts as she unhooked her hand which was on Draco¡¦s neck. She didn¡¦t know how her hand made its way there but she guessed that she must have been so lost in the kiss.
¡§Wow¡K¡¨ Draco was the first to brake the silence.
¡§Yeah¡K¡¨ was all Cho could whisper.
Cho then turned to Draco with a sudden serious face. She reached for one of Draco¡¦s pale hands and subconsciously began to rub it.
¡§Drake?¡¨
¡§Hm?¡¨
¡§I want you to tell me the truth¡K Are you¡K retarded?¡¨
Draco¡¦s eyes became a tumult of blue as a sudden realization came to him. He plucked the nearest purple tulip by him and brushed his fingers against the petals before he tucked it in Cho¡¦s hair.
¡§Drake? I want the truth,¡¨ Cho begged.
¡§I¡K no,¡¨ Draco turned away, ashamed of what he said.
¡§You¡K¡¨ Cho got up now, unable to control this sudden surprise, ¡§you mean to say you lied to me?!¡¨
¡§Yes¡K¡¨
¡§Were you lying to me this whole time?!¡¨
¡§No! Lord no Choey! You know I won¡¦t lie to you if I don¡¦t have to.¡¨
¡§You won¡¦t lie to me. Hah! That¡¦s funny!¡¨ Cho suddenly threw the flower in her hair to the ground.
There was a long moment of silence as they both watched the flower fall to the ground, excessively slow.
¡§Well?¡¨ Cho demanded.
¡§I wasn¡¦t lying before¡K I was retarded, for a while. For the first two months of school.¡¨
Seeing Cho¡¦s silence and violent glare, Draco continued on his explanation.
¡§I realized that after I¡¦m not retarded, you¡¦ll leave me. You won¡¦t want to spend time with me anymore, or be near me for the matter.¡¨
Cho was cleching her fist really tightly, with a stare that can kill.
¡§I thought that if I was retarded for a little longer, you¡¦ll like me for just a while more. All I¡¦m asking is to spend time with you. I don¡¦t want you to hate me,¡¨ Draco looked at the ground with panic.
A soft expression replaced Cho¡¦s previous murderous one as she stepped a little closer to Draco.
¡§I can never hate you, not after all this,¡¨ Cho motioned towards the bed of flowers.
Draco¡¦s pleading eyes drilled into Cho¡¦s soft brown ones. ¡§But what you¡¦re doing is selfish, loving¡K but selfish.¡¨ Cho grabbed Draco in for a hug with a smile.
¡§I think I love you, you know that?¡¨ Cho whispered.
¡§I know,¡¨ Draco said with a large smile.
A/N: Yeah¡K sorry about how long this took¡K
