A/N: Hello again! Sorry it's been awhile since I first posted this fic. Anyways, I won't bore you with Author's Notes. Have fun reading!

Cho sat in Ravenclaw's Common Room and contemplated over what had happened earlier.
She'd planned on having a date with… Potter but that obviously didn't go well because he wasn't being very sensitive to her feelings. And then she ran into Dra- Malfoy and then she got away from him only to have him follow her to the castle. Oh the twisted life she led.
"Stupid boys," the sixth year grumbled. "The whole lot of them."
Then Cho shook her still damp hair and headed up to her dorm room for some sleep.
~*~
The next morning Cho woke up, showered, got dressed and headed to breakfast. Angela and Christina were already sitting at the Ravenclaw table, talking animatedly, occasionally slipping a mouthful of food in. It wasn't until Cho was almost standing on top of Angela that they looked up from their conversation.
"Hi Cho!" Christina said cheerfully.
"G'morning, Cho!" Angela greeted.
"'Lo," Cho answered.
"So how was your date with Harry?" Angela asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot! Tell!" Christina demanded. "Did he kiss you? Where did you guys go? Did he buy you anything?"
"Oh, erm… I don't really want to talk about it."
"Oh come on! We won't tell anyone else!" Angela insisted. Cho somehow doubted this since those two couldn't keep their traps shut for two seconds.
Cho shook her head, "No."
"Please! Just tell us! Does Harry kiss better than Cedric?"
"Drop it."
"oOo, good question, does he?"
"I said, drop it!" Cho shouted. The girls gave her an odd look but they went back to their gossiping anyhow.
Cho sat down and got herself some porridge. While picking at it she found herself looking over at the Slytherin Table and especially at a certain blonde haired boy. From the looks of it, he seemed to have forgotten all about the events of the previous day. He sat there with is Slytherin friends and from what Cho could see through the sea of students he had his hand, with Blaise's on top of course, resting comfortably on her thigh.
Cho shook her head and got back to her breakfast. She wasn't going to let that odd incident ruin her day. Now what happened with Harry might. But she could get over it. Hell, she managed to get over Cedric without Harry's help. Sort of.
"Honestly! Look at those three. They're like, always together. It's disgusting! You'd think that that bookworm, oh what's her name?" Angela interrupted herself.
"Goody-goody Granger?" Christina supplied.
"Yeah, her. You'd think she'd take her nose out of those moldy books for once and find some real friends instead of those Weasley and Potter, I mean Harry and er, not that anything's wrong with him. It's just she's always with them!" Angela continued. "Cho, do you know if she's going out with Weasley? The way they fight. I'd ask if she was seeing Pot-erm, Harry but I should hope not!" She and Christina giggled.
Cho slammed down her spoon, making her bowl rattle, rose, and stormed out of the Great Hall. Christina and Angela sat at the Ravenclaw table exchanging bamboozled looks before shrugging and continuing in their gossiping.
What Cho didn't realize in her anger was that a certain silver-eyed Slytherin had just exited the Great Hall before her. Alone. And was lingering outside the entrance. So he was there to "greet" her as she showed her gracefulness.
CREEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAK! WHACK!
"OUCH!" Draco howled, clutching his nose. "Holy flyid fuck od a broomstick!"
Cho's eyes widened at what just happened. She'd just broken Draco Malfoy's nose by slamming a door open in his face and now she was witnessing his dancing slightly while cursing up a storm.
"Oh my gosh! I didn't know you were standing so close to the door! Are you okay?" Cho babbled as she tried to see any damaged she may have caused. Draco stopped dancing and swearing and looked at Cho blankly. His eyes glazed over slightly and he started swaying to the side.
"Huh?" He asked dumbly.
"Oh, no you don't, Draco Malfoy! You are not passing out right in front of me!" Cho cried. She had no choice but to sling his arm over her shoulders and try to make it to the Hospital Wing.
Cho vaguely remembered Draco Malfoy when he was his first year. He was some short little munchkin of a kid. She wished he still were a munchkin because then he would have been easier to haul to the Hospital Wing. Cho had always been petite, shorter than everyone else but she did have strength luckily. And she was using all that strength at that very moment since that once a munchkin of a kid had grown up and was very heavy.
Halfway to the Hospital Wing she wondered what happened to those two boys, if you could call them that, who used to follow Draco's every step. She also wondered why no one was helping her seeing as they'd slowly passed many other people. Luckily none of them were Harry or his confidants.
Cho and Draco, who had passed out completely by that time, finally had reached their destination, the Hospital Wing. Cho managed to prop the Slytherin against the wall while she quickly opened the door and held it ajar with her foot.
"Madam Pomfrey!" she gasped out. The nurse looked up from the book she had been reading and saw the two partially in the doorway.
"My goodness! What happened?! Hurry bring him in!" Madam Pomfrey ordered. Cho groaned and half dragged Draco to the nearest bed and slung him on it.
After sitting down on a different bed and regulating her breathing, Cho said, "I accidentally slammed a door open in his face. I think I broke his nose."
Madam Pomfrey stopped tending to Draco's face and looked up at Cho, "I beg your pardon?"
"I said, I think I broke his nose."
"No, before that."
"Oh, I accidentally slammed a door open in his face. I didn't know he was standing so close on the other side," Cho explained. "I'll be leaving now."
Madam Pomfrey continued what she was doing as if she hadn't heard Cho. She never did like anyone hanging around her sanctuary.
Cho left the Hospital Wing and leaned against the wall, staring at the ceiling. She had nothing to do. Her homework was already done, she didn't want to go find Angela or Christina, and the weather was still rainy so she didn't fancy flying. She sank down to the floor, staring blankly ahead. Then unexpectedly fell asleep.
And that's how Draco Malfoy found her when he exited the Hospital Wing, nose back to normal. At first he thought she was Stunned but she had a much too peaceful look on her face to have been Stunned. Her peaceful expression turned sad and Draco swore he heard her mumble,
"Cedric… I…" The look on her face changed once again, to a look of pleading and hurt while the words that come from her lips were, "Harry…"
Not sure what to do, he nudged her with his shoe. When that didn't get a response he nudged her harder. Then used his foot to poke her in the side, which was quite effective as she bolted upright, squealing.
"Huh? How'd I get here?" Then she saw him, "Oh, you. What do you want?"
"You should be thanking me. Some evil person could have wandered by and done who-knows-what to you," he smirked.
"Some evil person? Like you," she spat back.
"Oh, I'm hurt," Draco feigned pain as he held a hand to his heart.
"Shove off," Cho growled as she got to her feet and stomped off to her dorm as Draco stood there laughing to himself.
