Even When There's No Way, There's Always A Will
~* Okay, so there hasn't been much Draco/Cho action happening, so I think I'll dedicate this chapter to that. *~
Chapter 8 ~ Night Time Dip
Draco lay in bed that night staring at the green, silk curtains surrounding his four poster bed. He was wondering about Cho, as usual. He wondered what they had been told when McGonagall walked into their little side room. Draco soon found himself getting out of bed, and walking over to his cupboard to get dressed. He knew very well that he could be in serious trouble if he was caught, but he needed to see Cho. He hadn't seen her since she had gone off into the side room with her team. Once dressed, Draco headed down the stairs, and slipped out of the common room.
He hurried along the dark, empty coridors of Hogwarts, rushing to get to the Ravenclaw common room. Draco silently hoped they hadn't changed their password. When Draco reached the common room entrance, extremely gratefull Peeves hadn't seen him, he whispered the Ravenclaw password;
'Glideless Flight.' And to his delight, the tapestry which bore the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room rolled up to reveal the large room. Draco entered, being carefull to check if anyone was in there. Cho was asleep on one of the sofa's. Draco smiled. She looked so gorgeous when she was asleep, Draco thought. He walked over to her quietly, sat down next to her, and kissed her neck. She woke up gently.
'Huh? Who's that?' She whispered into the semi-lit common room.
'Shhh, it's Draco.' He stroked her hair and gazed into her eyes.
'Oh! You almost scared me to death Draco love.' Cho said softly.
'Sorry sweetheart.' Draco said and put his arms around her. Cho hugged Draco back. Then a query came to her mind.
'Draco, what are you doing here?' She asked, pulling away from his hug.
'I missed you, I hadn't seen you since you went off into your little room. By the way, congratulations on being selected. You are truly a great flier, and an excellent Seeker.' Draco embraced her and kissed her on the lips, ever so pasionately. When the kiss was over, Cho gazed at Draco.
'Draco, were you selected in the other Hogwarts team?' She asked, thinking she already knew the answer.
'No. Harry is the Seeker for the other team. I didn't see Dumbledore leaving him out.' Draco said, holding Cho's hand. It was the only was he could see to stop him getting angry at Harry Potter.
'Oh, never mind love, you are a great flier yourself, but Dumbledore has his favourites.' Cho said. Draco couldn't believe it, Cho was actually talking about Harry like he was a piece of dirt on the floor.
'Shhh, no need to talk about Harry Potter.' Draco said and pulled Cho close to him.
Cho suddenly had an idea, lying in Draco's arms often gave her idea's.
'Draco, darling, why don't we go for a midnight swim in the lake?' She said softly into his ear.
'Mmmm, that sounds like a good idea Cho.' Draco said. She wiggled her way out of Draco's grasp, kissed him on the cheek, and hurried upstairs to get her bathing suit on. Draco sat on the couch, waiting anxiously for Cho to return, every 10 seconds glancing at the girls staircase.
After a while, Cho appeared at the bottom of the staircase. She had on a beautiful pale blue bikini with purple lining. On one of the triangles of her bikini top was a yellow hibiscus, and there was one on the back of her bikini bottom as well. Cho did a 360 circle to show off her bathing suit to Draco. In his opinion, no one looked sexier in a bikini than Cho.
'Shall we?' Draco put out his arm and Cho took it.
They walked across the beautiful, green grass of Hogwarts grounds towards the large lake. In the moonlight, the still water shimmered like diamonds. Cho shivered, and Draco rubbed her arms.
'Come on Draco, let's go swimming!' Cho said, and waded into the water. Draco stripped down to his boxers. They were green with silver snakes, typical. Cho was slowly swimming around in large circles, but when she saw Draco wading in after her, she quickly swam over to him.
'It's a bit cold.' Draco said.
'Just swim around for a bit.' Cho suggested, but Draco shook his head.
'I'd rather do this.' He said and wrapped Cho in a long, romantic kiss. She kissed him back. For the first time since Cedric's death, Cho was contently happy being with a guy. She hadn't thought it possible, yet, here she was, kissing Draco Malfoy, in the lake, at midnight. Before this year, Cho had thought Draco to be a snide, crude immature Slytherin, but she was wrong, or he had changed.
The pair swam, and kissed, and held eachother for about three hours, when the sun started to show signs of waking up. Draco swept Cho up in one last passionate kiss before they got out of the lake, and headed back to the castle.
'Thank you Draco.' Cho said and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked.
'What for darling?' He asked.
'For being there for me, coming to see me in the middle of the night because you missed me. I had you all wrong in the previous years, and I'm sorry. I guess I just got the wrong idea of you from Harry.' She said Harry's name with a hint of anger in her voice. Draco put his arm around her skinny waist and kissed her neck.
'Don't worry your pretty little head over it Cho, that was in the past, this is now.' He said, and they walked into the Castle.

'Cho, you're wrinkled as a prune! Where have you been?' Mariette gasped when she saw Cho.
'I took a shower Mariette.' Cho lied, and started for the stairs to go to the common room.
'I don't buy it Cho, have you been to the lake again?' Sneaking out of the castle for midnight swims was a habbit for Cho when she couldn't sleep.
'Well, Mariette, if you promise not to tell .' Cho started.
'Oh come on, you know I never tell.' Mariette said with a sly grin.
'Okay, I was at the lake with Draco, and he is the sweetest guy I've ever met!'
'Oh! Oh my God! You were swimming, in the middle of the night, with Draco Malfoy! Wait a minute, what about Cedric? Isn't he the sweetest guy you've ever met?' Mariette had to gasp for air once she'd gotten all that out in one breath.
'Breathe Mariette. Yes I was swimming in the lake, with Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend, and Draco is quite sweeter than Cedric. Cedric never came and found me in the middle of the night just because he missed me and hadn't seen me for a few hours since dinner.' Cho said smugly.
'Oh wow, Cho, he actually came here? To see you? In the middle of the night?'
'That's what I just said Mariette, if you were listening.' Mariette blushed a little. She finally let Cho go downstairs to breakfast.
~* There you go, a mushy chapter. Don't expect too many of them, but I'll throw in one every now and then, ok? Kool. Remember to tell me if I should continue this story, because I don't want to write a story that no one's reading. *~
