Chapter 2!
Cho quickly ran through the halls of the dungeon. "Stupid trick stair, now I'm going to be late!" she thought as she glanced at her watch. Cho flung open the door for class just as the bell rang. She leaned against the door in relief trying to catch her breath only for her to be flung,along with the door, aside as Professor Snape busted the door as he usually did. "Ack!" Cho screamed as she toppled into one student. The student grabbed hold of Cho to prevent further harm but quickly let go.
"Look Chang, I know I'm fine but really you shouldn't just glomp me like that in class. I thought you had more class than that. Course it's something I would expect from a Ravenclaw."
Cho immediately recognized the voice as none other than her evening visitor, Draco Malfoy. She stood up and brushed herself off. "I am so sorry I just can't contain myself. I mean after all you did grab and hold on to me. Who wouldn't want to be held by the famous Draco Malfoy? Thanks for that moment of glory hun" she smirked and ruffled her hand through his long blonde hair and walked to her seat.
"Now that you two are done with your little fiasco, we may begin class" said Professor Snape.
As the class droned on Cho could feel Draco's stare in the back of her head. She wondered why he was so intently staring at her. Cho was extremely bored today because they were reviewing for a test, no potion making or anything. Just talking. She decided to have some fun with Draco whom was still staring at her. Cho spun her head around and batted her eyes at Draco. As soon as he saw this, he glared at her. Cho puckered her lips at him then turned back around. She laughed on the inside sensing Draco's anger. They had always had some sort of connection, ever since they were kids. Cho's mind drifted and before she knew it, class was over.
She stood up and gathered her things. Cho went to put away her potions book only to have it slammed back down by someone's hand. Her head jerked up. Draco stood there looking, well let's just say extremely pissed.
"What the hell is your problem Draco?" Cho said jerking away her book from his grasp.
"You are my problem" he replied curtly.
"Me? Haha! That's a laugh. Why do you care if I taunt you anyways, it's not like you have cared about me for the past five years, why start now?" she finished and picked up her bag and headed out the classroom.
A strong arm grabbed her and spun her around against the wall. "Don't you walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" he hissed.
"Well can you make it fast, people who actually care a rat's ass are waiting for me" she hissed right back.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that" he scowled.
"I'll talk to you the same damn way you talk to me asshole, with disrespect and utter rudeness!" Cho screamed.
"Why don't you think I care you? You know what happened!" he looked into her eyes.
Cho became quiet."Yes" was an almost automatic reply from her as her mind began to drift back.
/It was his first year, her second. They had met during potions class and hit it off. All of Cho's friends warned her about Draco. How he was a mean, nasty boy. She brushed them off though and continued her relationship with this boy whom she was infatuated with. He had felt the same, but then his father found out. His father forbid him to have anything to do with Cho because he didn't know her. For all Mr. Malfoy knew, Cho's parents could be aurors. Mr. Malfoy sent letters to both Cho and Draco, demanding that they separate. All Cho could do was stumble away stealing one last look at Draco's face of sorrow and confusion. They both moved on to date other people. For Cho, Cedric Diggory and for him, Pansy Parkinson. Cho remembered how painful it was to watch er first true love and a slut walk through the halls together. It tore her apart and everyday she suffered with it. Being with Cedric was different tough, she was happy again. And then... it happened. Cedric was murdered and there was nothing left for Cho. The year after had been hell for her, but gradually with tremendous support from friends and family, Cho got better. Now she was back to watching Draco and Pansy and longing for that again./
She finished role playing the painful moments in her head and with tears filling her eyes she look up at Draco. Draco's eyes turned to sympathy. "Cho, hun please don't cry" he begged.
Why was he all of a sudden being so nice to her? "You don't deserve to call me "hun" she spat out. Cho couldn't fight it though. She had wanted for so long to be close to him again. She didn't care how, but she really did need him.
In one swift movement Draco pulled her into a hug. That's when she lost it. Cho couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She sobbed into Draco's cloak as he ran his hands through her hair. "It's ok" he kept saying softly.
Cho ripped apart from him. "No it's not Draco! Damnit can't you see that I need you, we can't be together and it's killing me! You don't understand what I have been through without you there to guide me."
He moved at her again. She tried to push him way but he just grabbed her hands and held her tight. "Please stop" she begged, "Don't torture me more than I already have been" she said softly.
"I don't want to torture you, I want to be with you. Cho we can be together, it's alright I promise." Draco said trying to get her to look at him.
"Draco, if your father finds out that we are friends he'll-
"He won't find out we are friends, he'll find out we are together" he said lifting her chin up.
"What do you mean" Cho said in worry.
"Cho, I don't want to be friends with you, I want to be your boyfriend"
"Huh! Wasn't expecting that one Draco, I'll have to admit. You father will be pissed though, and what about Pansy"
"No he won't, I swear. I have talked to him already, and Pansy, don't worry about her. It's hell being around her" He said quickly.
"If he doesn't mind us going out now, then why couldn't we when you were a first year?" she questioned him.
The bell for students to go to their next class rang. "Shit" he said. "I don't have time now, I'll explain it later but will you give me an answer so the next hour isn't living hell for me" he said all in a hurry.
Cho laughed. He was so cute when he got flustered. She thought for a moment, "Alright" she said softly.
Before anything else he crushed his lips to hers. "Yeah, wasn't expecting that one either" she thought to herself. Cho pushed those thoughts aside and enjoyed the moment. She brought her hands to his face and pulled him closer as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Cho pulled apart, "Class!" she said breathlessly.
"Shit yeah, I'll find you afterwards" he said taking off towards one end of the hall as she went the other way.
As Cho ran once again to her next class, her mind was full of thoughts. This was going to be the longest hour she had ever been through.
