Author's Note: Okay... sorry I haven't updated in... oh... over a month or two? Heh... Sorry! I can finally get online now. I just have to sneak online after my dad gets to sleep. You see, I got myself free Internet from NetZero. Shhh! Don't tell. =P Anyway, I can update more often now. Thanks for still reading my fic and reviewing! When we left off, Harry was getting his boil removed that Draco had cursed on him. Also, remember Cho's friend, Eva? She's coming up soon as well. Remember that she likes Draco! That's important!

Disclaimer: Nothing but the plot belongs to me. It belongs to JK Rowling (who should have considered me as Cho) and the people at Warner Bros. (who should have also considered looking at my letter, photos and such, and they too might own my character as well. --_-- ;; ).

Chapter 7- Gone Too Far

The next two months that passes was the worst experience Cho had had, and it was a new year! Harry and Draco constantly fought. Verbally and physically. Cho and Hermione always had to stop the fights and would fail at times. Soon, the two girls gave up and left Harry and Draco's fights alone.

In the halls, Cho would see Draco and attempted to talk to him, but he always glared cruelly and shoved her off. This hurt Cho so much that she would tear up a few times. Hermione had her own little trouble. She still wasn't with Harry. With all the fighting and hatred going on with him, she never had a chance to have a real conversation with him. Ron was usually quiet and stayed out of this problem. He was frustrated that all he heard from Harry's mouth is, "Malfoy'll get it!" or some other threatening comment.

Eva was utterly confused. Cho knew she had to tell her about the problem and confess that she cared about Draco.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

One day after classes were over, Harry and Draco were in their usual fight. In this, wands were used along with insults.

Harry would say, "Your mother is the ugliest thing to ever walk the earth! That expression she always has is revolting! Nearly blinded me!"

Then Draco would angrily respond with a spell and, "At least I've got a mother! I've got nothing to insult you with, really! You have no one, you orphan! You're parents were hideous. I can see they passed down the genes to you! I reckon they look better as corpses!"

"Not as hideous as you mother! Even the devil himself would never take in your mum!"

The insults led to a wizard's duel, which soon, went too far. Cho and Hermione walked in on the fight and tried to stop it, but the spells Draco and Harry were using were dangerous and could do more than disarm. Hermione gave up and stood far away. Cho, however, couldn't stand it and screamed angrily at them.

"STOP IT! This is the fourth fight this week! You two will be expelled! Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey has had it with you both!"

But it was no use. Harry and Draco paid no attention. Cho's face was red and her throat was hoarse. She was so furious and fed up that she decided to do something drastic. She walked in between Harry and Draco, no matter how dangerous the spells were.

"Cho! What in blazes are you doing?!" cried Harry. "Get out of the way!"

"No! This has to stop! It's gone far enough! Why have you starting this madness in the first place?!"

Draco pointed his wand at Cho, and he moved her aside. "Stay out of this, Chang!" he said and immediately pointed his wand back at Harry. "Crucio!" he cried. Draco looked at Harry. He wasn't in any pain! The curse didn't affect him at all!

"OH MERLIN!" screamed Hermione, her face red with anger and worry.

The curse didn't even hit Harry. Instead, it affected someone else. They fell on their knees, crying out with woeful pain. They had a hard time breathing, and gasped for air with every attempted intake of breath. That person's world suddenly went black in their bloodshot eyes. That person... was Cho. She ran back between Harry and Draco just as the spell was said.

Hermione was crying uncontrollably. She ran over, worry filled her eyes. Harry didn't know what to do. He looked at Draco, then down at Cho.

Draco was in a state of shock. He started breathing hard, and dropped his wand. Guilt and fear swept over him. He was at fault. He harmed Cho, the girl he supposedly hated, but knew now he still cared for her deeply. Draco suddenly clutched his head. This was too much. He could hear Hermione and Harry yelling at him.

"Look what you've done! You might've killed her! How could you?!"

Before Draco knew what was happening, he fell. Pain in his head dizzied him. It was so intense he couldn't see clearly. He gave in, and everything went black.

Author's Note: Uh oh... it has gone too far! Is this the end? Has is ended a bit like "Romeo and Juliet" where the two lovers die? Are they even dead? Of course this isn't the end! I've got a few more chapters left! But the series may end with funerals, or it may end happily ever after. I might have another fan fic on the way! It's still D/C of course, but completely different. But I don't know if I'll write it. I've had ideas... but maybe not. Also, I have a photo album for this fic (oddly enough). It's weird but, yeah... I apologize for the ugliness of Cho (Heh...). If you don't like how Cho looks, please try not to be TOO cruel. I'm trying to get over the fact I had not landed the part of Cho. So anyway... Album coming very soon! Please R/R!
