Konnichiwa!! This is my very first attempt at writing a fan fiction. Well
an edited version of the first story. My buddy, Echoe Shayne always
encouraged me to write one. I think it's because some of my jokes about
Hermione's Secret found there way into the story. So on one exciting day at
the office- yeah right- I began my first work. I hope it's all right. I'm
trying, so don't diss it too bad. This is an edited version of the original
story. Hopefully it improved. Not like anyone would notice.
Oh yeah, I don't own Harry or any characters from the story. I almost forgot about the disclaimer. My bad! -.-
_______________________
A tall and muscular boy lay down on his bed. He had finally begun to fill his body so he was no longer quite as awkward as before. His aunt and uncle made him get a part-time job. Times were rough and he needed to earn his own spending money. This struck him as an odd reason to make him get a job, because he never took any of their money. He had a small fortune left to him after his parents died, but he didn't argue with his aunt and uncle. It gave him a chance to get out of the retched house and their glaring eyes that always focused on him. It was as if they were waiting for him to do something. This was the summer that Harry Potter had gotten his first job.
Harry was no ordinary boy. He was indeed a wizard- one of the most famous wizards in the "his" world. This accounted for nothing in the regular world though, because here, he was merely a freak. The only reason Harry found a job was because he was 17 years old. He was also in excellent physical condition- thanks to Quidditch- and thus could assist in manufacturing more identical houses around England. Thanks to his job, Harry was looking pretty hot. He built up some muscles, so his body now fit his height. He also had regular Muggle money, which allowed him to afford some contact lenses and hair gel. Plus, Harry had gotten some new clothes. Harry was now free of his glasses and could control his messy black hair.
Harry couldn't wait to get back to school and see the girls' reactions, especially Cho's reaction. Harry still couldn't get over the fact that she dumped him for the memory of Cedric and because of some silly jealousy over Hermione Granger. Hermione was one of his best friends. He didn't even want to get romantically involved with Hermione, because his other best friend, Ron Weasley was infatuated with her.
Harry rose from his bed and proceeded downstairs. If he didn't go now, his once fat, but ever eating cousin, - Dudley- would try to take Harry's meager meal. Although Dudley was no longer the heifer he was before, he still ate like he'd never eat again. The only difference was that no he worked off his food in his boxing matches.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A pretty, young girl stared off into space. She was too deep in thought to even realize that her mom was calling her down to supper. 'How could this have happened?' She thought. Her mind was entirely focused on two weeks ago- when she went to Romania to visit Charlie and see some historical dragon breeding sites. It was an unusual, but memorable visit. She definitely didn't plan on certain events to take place. Especially not any with Malfoy.
When she was visiting a site where Muggles had murdered hundreds of dragons, she ran into him. She had almost been in tears when he approached her. At first, Malfoy was his usual evil self, making snide comments about her. She had argued with him about why she was crying. After a few hours, he unbelievably became nice. She thought that perhaps he was just bored, but he was more different than before. Malfoy became somewhat nice, at least to her. He tamed down his Mud Blood and Muggle-loving wizard comments. It was sweet, in some twisted way.
She couldn't believe that she was even thinking that perhaps she loved Draco. How could she love Draco? For the last five years, she had been in love with Harry. In two weeks, she began to fall for Draco. 'What's wrong with me?' Falling for Draco was unacceptable. Her family would be against it. After all, the Malfoy family was associated with Lord Voldemort. What would they think? What would Harry think? It was like betraying him. Could she really betray Harry and everyone else?
'What am I going to do?' She thought. As this thought crossed her mind, she began to remember something else. She looked down into her hands. The thin pink line stated it all. 'What am I going to do?'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Duddy loves his eggs scrambled, but not too scrambled.' Aunt Petunia thought to herself. She was worried about getting Duddy's food wrong again. Since he became a boxing champion, he acted like he was God. Her husband only encouraged his behavior. Aunt Petunia needed to be careful about everything.
"IS IT READY NOW?" Dudley snapped at his mother. He impatiently squirmed in his chair. He had other things to do, like beat up this annoying brat down the road. Last night, the kid had talked trash about this girl that Dudley was interested in. No one talked about his beloved, Cho. Dudley was ecstatic that she'd moved into the neighborhood. He vowed to protect her from any jerks like Merion Flagstuff.
"HURRY UP, PETUNIA!" Uncle Vernon screamed at her. "Dudley needs to EAT, so he can have the STRENGTH to defend his TITLE!"
"It's almost ready. Just give me a second." As Petunia hurried to complete breakfast, a spatula began to take on a life of its own. It began to beat the eggs and completely ruin them. The toast began to fly out of the toaster and hit everything. One managed to hit Uncle Vernon in the head. The juice began to spout out of its pitcher like a fountain. The bacon began growing tails and making an unusual oinking sounds.
"HARRY!!" Uncle Vernon screamed to his nephew. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?"
Harry was walking downstairs, when he heard his uncle yelling at him. 'What does he think I did now?' Harry wondered. All the time, Harry had to take the blame for Dudley. Almost immediately after Harry entered the room, an owl appeared at the window.
"Now you're in for it!" Uncle Vernon cried happily. "You're going to be kicked out of that freak school, because you couldn't control yourself to not do magic."
"Magic?" Harry quietly repeated. 'What does he mean magic?' Harry didn't have time to ponder this though. He needed to get his letter. He approached the window and took two letters from a large, brown school owl. He thought it was unusual for two letters to be attached, but in a second, figured Hagrid had attached a letter as well. He sat down to open his letters, but he was quickly surprised. One letter was addressed to Harry, but the other letter was addressed to Dudley ...
Harry handed the letter to his cousin. "What the...?" Uncle Vernon cried. Dudley dropped the letter, like it was contaminated. He looked utterly terrified of the letter.
"Well, open it." Harry told his cousin. He was curious why Hogwarts would be sending his cousin a letter. It couldn't mean ... No, that was ridiculous. Finally, curiosity got the best of Harry. "Fine. I'll open it." Once open, Harry found the letter to say:
Greeting from Hogwarts!
We recently discovered magical ability to be found in your household, other than Harry Potter's own ability. We know that you are well beyond the average age of the first-year students, but we would like it if you would consider starting Wizarding School at Hogwarts. It is our belief that everyone with wizard ability should try to learn to control and properly use their ability. Please think about it and if you decide to attend Hogwarts, we'll see you on September 1st.
Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, School Deputy.
"They want you to attend Hogwarts. " Harry said in disbelief.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cho happily clapped her hands in excitement. Her sweetie, Dudley, came to tell her that he was going to leave to a foreign school. Earlier, she had been crying, but now everything was perfect. Dudley originally told her it was some kind of study abroad program, his dad wanted him in. Then, he'd slipped up and mentioned the name McGonagall. Cho of course knew the name, because she went to Hogwarts. Now she could be with her sweetie at school too.
"Oh, Duddy! I'm so excited!" Cho exclaimed. "We're going to school soon! Wow! Ohmigosh! I get to introduce you to everyone! It's going to be so much fun!" She was bubbling with excitement.
"Yeah. That'd be cool." Dudley replied. He was just happy that he wasn't going to be alone there.
"Ohmigosh! I just remembered, you might have to avoid Harry." Cho exclaimed to Dudley. She thought that it would be a wise move to warn Dudley now. She knew that Harry was still in love with her. Who knows what he might do out of jealousy.
"Harry?" Dudley was confused. 'Does she know my cousin? No, it must be another Harry.' Dudley tried to convince himself that there was another Harry. He hoped that it wasn't his cousin. He didn't know what he'd do if Harry had already had his precious Cho.
"Yeah. Harry is my ex-boyfriend. We're still good friends, but things didn't work out between us. He's really popular in the wizarding world, so it might be smart of you to avoid any conflict with him. He's really a powerful wizard. He's defeated the Dark Lord like 5 times."
"Harry Potter did that?" Dudley couldn't believe his ears. He knew from the previous summer that Harry was an exceptional wizard. He'd been saved from Dementors by his cousin. But he didn't know that he defeated the Dark Lord.
"Yeah, so please don't try to beat him up or anything." After thinking for a second, Cho realized that Dudley knew Harry's last name before she told him. "Do you know Harry?"
"He's my cousin."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Malfoy laid on his bed. He couldn't get her out of his mind. After their run-in at some random historical wizard site that his mother dragged him to, Malfoy couldn't forget her. The new look she had. The hair. It looked incredible sexy and smelled so sweet. It smelled like oranges. It hanged down her back now; she'd grown it long and straight. When he held her in his arms, it tickled his face, as he leaned in to whisper in her delicate ears. Geez! He missed holding her. Her skin was so smooth and soft, like butter. Her body fit perfectly between his arms, and his legs.
He loved every inch of it. How in the world did this happen? He hardly felt any attraction to any girl before, just Cho. Now he fell in love with her so hard that he was missing her. Why her? She was in love with Harry Potter. Everyone at Hogwarts knew about her infatuation with Harry. Since his second year, she had been in love with Harry, which made their bond even more unusual. She had dated other guys, but only to get over Harry. It never worked.
Malfoy wondered if he was the one to make her forget that jerk. He hoped that he would get another chance with her. Another day to hold her in his arms. Another day to have their bodies merge as one.
Malfoy knew Harry wouldn't let her go easy. He had to have all the girls, whether he wanted them or not. He tried to act cool, but he was seething inside whenever any of his girls were with another guy. Kind of like with Michael and Viktor. That's why Michael and Viktor broke up with Ginny and Hermione. They knew Harry wouldn't let his girls go. Malfoy was going to take her anyways. He had to have her.

Please review!! I know this is kind of short, but I just wanted to try something out. If I get people to actually review my story, I will continue it. What's going to happen between the Harry-Cho-Dudley love triangle? Also, then you'll know who Malfoy's mystery girl is. Is it Hermione? Is it Ginny? Or is it someone else? If I get no reviews, I'll just scrap the idea AGAIN and continue being a beta-reader. Yep, Echoe you heard me. I'll quit writing.
Also to Toinks, thanks for the encouragement. I was all surprised to see that someone else had read my story. ^.^ Shibby!! I hope you like this.
Oh yeah, I don't own Harry or any characters from the story. I almost forgot about the disclaimer. My bad! -.-
