Chapter Six
This is what Happened
A/N: This chapter took me a while to finish. I just wanted to find a way so that Cho and Hermione could have what they wanted. I didn't want Hermione to seem like that much a slut and I didn't want to leave Cho heartbroken on her own ff. So I guess this is what happened.
Dragoon Knight: I'm not too sure if this is what everyone wants to happen, but it will become pretty interesting after this chapter. I know you guys all like the 'juicy stuff' (here! here!^_^) But I can't just make it all action and no wait, suspense is all part of life.
Hermione stood up and walked towards us, her hands on her hip. I wish she didn't do that, it made me feel even more terrible. My head was in my hands but I was peaking through my fingers. Harry was beside me standing stiff.
"I see," said Hermione resentfully. "I see what this is all about, this, congregation of trading hormones!" I sunk my head lower into my hands. Go away! Go away! I know what I did wrong! Don't push it in my face!
He stood up and looked at Hermione angrily. "Hermione?" asked Harry heatedly. "Why would you even mind?"
Hermione walked a few steps backwards at Harry's question and picked up her book. I shut my eyes and counted to ten. Nothing happened. When I looked back up, Hermione's back was facing us and she was making her way back to the castle.
"What happened?" I asked confused. Harry sat back next to me and just watched Hermione run off irately.
"She decided to run back; don't worry about her though," said Harry and he looked out across the lake. "That is exactly how she's been acting for the past few weeks." I raised an eyebrow and he blushed. "Hermione-syndrome is catchy." I looked into the face of the boy I just kissed. Was he hoping more in the future? I asked myself; my heart was beating like a drum. His eyes were filled with ever yearning.
What could I do? I belonged to Cedric; I knew that, Harry knew that. But still he looked at me in a way I had never seen him look before. Was 'the- boy-who-lived' really in love with me? I couldn't think straight. It was all so confusing .
"Harry," I said. He leaned forwards attentively. "I still belong to Cedric, you know that," I could feel my hands tear up his heart, I didn't want to, "but I know that you like me - "
"It's more than that," he muttered to his own hands. The world around us had frozen one more.
"Ya, I noticed, and well - "
"I think, maybe you need some time, you need to get over Cedric first, right?" he asked still in a forbidden and soft whisper. I didn't know what to say. Harry was sweet, sure he was, but I couldn't just break his heart. Then, maybe I'm not; maybe I'm storing it for later, when I most need it. I hesitated first, but then caught my lips on his cold cheek.
"Thanks," I whispered into his ear. "You'll wait though, right?" His expression lightened.
"Ya I'll wait."
I smiled and gave his other cheek a kiss; it was warmer then the other one. "Okay, wait for me."
"I'll wait for you," he said back. "I'll wait forever if I must, but I'll wait nonetheless."
"Thank you," I said and stood up to leave. Before I could he grabbed my hand and just looked at it. I waited, my heart pounded and my cheeks felt like an oven. But he did nothing, after a while he let go and continued to stare across the lake. With a great leap that sent my heart soaring up my throat, I made my way back to the Ravenclaw common room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night I sat in my dormitory and just looked out across the grounds. The moon was leaving an incredibly elegant beam of light into the window and I couldn't help but stare at its beauty. I wondered if Cedric was up there watching me. The moon had markings on it tonight that made it look as if it were smiling at me. Compared to the moon, I was an ugly slug.
I held the brass picture frame with Cedric in it and yearned for him to come back. But I knew it was no use asking for something that was already gone. "What should I do?" I asked the moon. I knew it sounded clichéd but I needed to. I wanted some answers and I wanted them now. "Tell me what I should do!" My voice echoed in the steel of the night. But no, they would not reply. "Are you going to just let me suffer?"
A tear trickled down my cheek but I wiped it away furiously. "I'm not going to waste my time on nothing!" I hollered out crossly. "You're nothing! The world is nothing!" I fell to the ground with defeat as I drowned in my sorrow. Angrily, I threw the picture of Cedric to the wall opposite me where it crashed into tiny pieces, the photo still being one piece.
I didn't care that my shoulders shook uncontrollably or that my eyes were going red and puffy by the minute. I just wanted my Cedric back. I closed my eyes and imagined his warm arms wrapping around me. I tried to force the part of me that was insane to believe his voice was in the wind behind me, gently cooing that everything was alright. Sweet deep breathing swept into my ears and tickled my eardrums.
"I want you with me Cedric," I whispered softly to the night air. "I want you by my side." When nothing replied I continued to talk to myself. "I want you back." I opened my eyes and saw reality. I saw what was truly there. I saw my life; it had no Cedric Diggory within it. I walked towards the picture of Cedric and picked it up. He seemed to smile back at me; without a care in the world.
Slowly, I collected the broken pieces of glass and the empty brass frame from the ground then deposed of it into the nearest waste bin. The photo, I kept. I placed it back into the side drawer and crawled into bed. The rest of the night was spent with dreams of me playing Quidditch against Cedric's team. His blonde hair flying with the wind, nonetheless, now he was the wind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the morning I spent most of my time talking, a girls' talk, with Paige. We hadn't spent much time discussing over girly things for a while and I decided that it would be able to lift my mind off Cedric. We talked about the upcoming exams, Quidditch and Hogsmead weekends. It was all going great but I was not ready for an unforeseen topic -
"Hey, check it out," said Paige with a giggle in her voice as she leaned across the table to see Rachel and Brad having a snog by the couch. "Rachel has herself a winner there." I gave her arm a playful nudge and she gave me a light slap on the arm back. "What? Is there something wrong with me staring?"
"Cut it out," I laughed and pushed her back into her seat. "Stop goggling; they want their privacy!" I gave a quick glance at Rachel and Brad wrestling tongues before I turned back to Paige with a sigh. I wonder if that might be Harry and me sometime but I shook the crazy thought out of my head.
"Boy trouble?" asked Paige hitting the dot on her first swing.
"Sort of," I said huddling myself up in the armchair against the cold winter's breeze.
"Well tell, Paige about it and I'll help sort the 'sort of' out."
I sunk lower into the chair and wondered if I really should tell Paige about yesterday by the lake. "No, I'm fine."
"What? Ran out of boys?" asked Paige slyly and I gave her another lighthearted nudge. "Come on, okay so I haven't been a good matchmaker but I can set you up with a couple of boys." A few months ago I would have been interested, I don't deny that, but right now, that was the last thing I needed.
"Nah, I don't need any," I said meekly playing with my fingers. "Are you having any boy problems?"
Paige giggled once more, it was great to see Paige giggle, and it always made me want to join in as well. Paige had the type of giggle that made any girl jealous. "Do I ever! Problem is boys think I'm too good-natured to go seriously, plus I don't give a crap anyhow."
"Language Paige!" I said with surprise. Of course, Paige occasionally swears but she doesn't do it when she is telling me a joke. Paige showed her white teeth. At that moment Rachel and Brad stood up from giving the common room a dramatic demonstration and went out of the common room. The first year boys whined as Brad passed through the entrance.
"Hey Rachel! Where are you going?" Paige called.
"Great Hall," mouthed Rachel before she was dragged away by Brad. Paige's tummy grumbled softly under the table and I knew what that meant.
"Are you hungry?" I asked Paige. Paige nodded and we went down to the Great Hall together. I caught Harry's eye straight away when we made our way in and he gave me a small smile. Hermione seemed to be avoiding both of us together, not that it bothers me.
"Who are you looking at?" asked Paige as she tried to look at my direction. "Is it Harry Potter?"
"No!" I said lightly and shoved her forwards to the Ravenclaw table.
"Come on! You can tell me! You have the hots for him, right?"
I gave her a hollow laugh that sounded unconvincing. "Yah, right."
Rachel waved for us to sit by her and Brad and so we made our way towards them. Paige instantly began to spoon globs after globs of porridge. "Hey Rachel, guess who Cho has a crush on!" I felt my cheeks burn and pretended to occupy myself with scooping up bacon and eggs. "Guess! Come on Rachel, guess!"
"Oooh!!" squealed Rachel with exhilaration. "Who? Who?" Brad seemed a little offended at this change of subject and began to stir his oatmeal with a look of downcast.
"No, you have to guess!"
"I don't have a crush on anyone," I protested but Paige held me back from the conversation. I gave up, if they went on and on, they may as well go on all day. I took another spoonful of eggs and began to eat as they kept going on. ("Who? Who?" "Guess! Guess!")
"Can I guess?" asked Brad as he poured some honey on his oatmeal.
"Sure, but only guessing!"
"Is it Harry Potter?" asked Brad dully mixing the honey with the oatmeal. I blushed even more and tried to hide it as I ate my bacon. Why was I doing all this? Why do I act stupid when something like this happens?
"How did you know?" demanded Paige ignoring my blush. "It is not him!" I exclaimed. They looked at me and I held my hands up in surrender. I needed out, this talking was becoming intense. "I'm not here! I'm not here! Go on with talking with my love life! But it's not him."
"Of course it's him," said Brad tenaciously.
"What makes you so certain?" I asked provokingly. I spooned up some egg and sprinkled some salt on it.
Rachel and Paige looked at him with interest. Any gossip was their gossip; that was the rule around here. They could make a Hogwart's Gossip Newsletter every week with the gossip they have. (I'm not kidding, they tried this once too.) Brad however, was not the type of person who would usually have a juicy gossip to share. And, amazingly, this was the first time that Rachel and Paige were trying to suss out gossip from someone like him.
"I have my sources," said Brad with an engrossed look on his face.
"Come on, Brady, you can tell me!" said Rachel flirtatiously. She made her fingers climb up his arm and tickle the side of his ear. "Whatever you know, I know." I caught Paige giving a small smile but she quickly hid it. I didn't want Brad to tell. Honestly, I think I knew what he was going to say.
I had kissed Harry by the lake after all, it wasn't the most private place you could kiss someone.
Brad tried to keep a straight face but he kept smiling. "Sorry, Cho, Rachel is hard to resist."
I sighed. "Whatever!" I kept to my bacon and eggs hoping that Paige and Rachel wouldn't make that big a scene of it. At that moment I felt very sorry for Harry. Actually, the only person I felt even more sorry for then Harry would be me. What would Hermione do? I better make the most of my day if I'm going to die - "Just make it quick."
"If you girls settle down I'll tell you." Without delay, Paige and Rachel stopped fidgeting and sat in there seats quietly as if they were behaving well all along. Brad gave a short smile but it flicked away immediately. "Okay um," he glanced quickly at me but I decided to not pay attention to them, in fact, I didn't know why I was still sitting in the same room as them, "I heard from a friend."
"What, what did you say?" asked Paige her face crestfallen. "I must have misheard you, is that all, from a friend?" I looked up and Brad gave me a smile.
"Yep, that's all."
"Who? What friend? What did he see that made him think that?" As Paige and Rachel looked around the Great Hall to see if anyone looked suspicious I mouthed Brad a thank you.
"Just a friend."
"A friend? What friend? Who was it?"
"He likes to keep his whereabouts confidential."
"Brad! Come on! We are Cho's friends! If someone is spreading rumours about her then we have to stop them!"
"Honestly, I can't tell."
They kept on bickering for the whole of breakfast that I decided to leave half way through it. On the way to collect my books for my lesson, I bumped into Harry.
"I guess you're still thinking about Cedric," he mumbled.
"Ya, I'm trying my best," I said softly back. "You're still waiting?"
He crossed his heart to make a definite signal and I gave him my most angelic smile. "I'm sorry about Hermione, she's just been feeling, off." I spun around to stare at Hermione who was eating the rest of her breakfast by herself.
"Ya, that's all right, just save that little bit of heart for me and I'll come back soon, I promise." Harry smiled back. "Um, bye then."
"Bye, Cho!" I made my way slowly up the stairs but then turned back to take a look at him. He turned and looked right back at me. His emerald eyes sparkled for that little moment and I felt a little bit of my heart feel complete. Was I really over Cedric yet? I asked myself. I wanted to get Cedric's problem over and done with so that I could lead my life as it should be. That would be what Cedric wants.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After I finished my dinner that night, I made my way back to the common room alone. There were only little flickers of light against the hallway and the ghosts greeted me with an even eerier tone then usual. I made my way up the stairs and across another corridor lit by an endless row of torches.
As I turned a corner; I came face to face with none other than Hermione Granger .
A/N: Another Cliffhanger? My answer is yes! So where is this going to end up? Apology or catfight? If I get lots of reviews asking for a catfight I'll make it catfight; if you want an apology and for Hermione and Cho to be friends you say apology. Got it? I'll only continue if you answer on which one you want. If you take too long a time, I'll make my own decision. ^_^ See ya then!
