Author's Note: My computer had to be re-loaded, so I couldn't get on then.
Now, I can! Sorry for the long wait. I'm working on another fanfic at the
moment as well... so look out for that! It's not D/C fic though. You'll find
out a bit later on. Oh, you also must remember Eva! If you didn't read
Part 1, Eva is Cho's best friend (I wrote this fic before OOTP came out),
and she likes Draco a lot!

Chapter 9- Gain One Lose One
Over the next few months, Cho and Draco's relationship strengthened once again. It was so strong that they decided not to hide and walked through Hogwarts hand in hand. This caused quite a stir. Other students would stare at them in shock. As time passed, they learned not to mind the odd couple so much.
Harry was on who didn't accept the love between his ex and his rival, but tried very hard to be supportive.
"We're still friends, Harry," Cho would say. "That'll never change."
Harry would respond with a smile and, "I know."
Through Draco and Cho's public relationship, Eva became furious.
"You traitor!" She pushed Cho one day on the way to Charms. "You backstabber! How could you?!"
Cho dropped her books and fell. A crowd started to gather around them.
"Eva, I—"
"You knew how much I liked him! I suspected something was going on between you both! The Quidditch match, the kiss under the mistletoe at Christmas- you tried to cover it up!"
Cho was speechless. She looked over to her right and, unfortunately, saw Draco make his way through the crowd. His face was irate and his looked back and forth from Eva to Cho.
"What's going on?" He asked, and then shot his eyes directly at Eva. "You prat! What in bloody hell did you do?" He then walked to Cho, picked up her books and helped her up.
"Shhh, just stop," Cho snapped quietly and laid a hand on his chest. "It was nothing."
Eva's eyes were flooded with a fresh stream of tears. She shook her head in dismay in Cho's direction.
"Eva, I'm sorry. Really—"Cho said anew.
"Just shut up." Eva breathed a silent scream. "You'll just lie and use another alibi. Well, it won't work that way anymore. I hope you're happy with him!" She gave them one last look and stormed away through the wide- eyed crowd of students.
~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, in Transfiguration, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat together in a group and tried to experiment with today's lesson. Harry kept glaring furiously in Draco's direction, who sat diagonally in front of him.
"Why do you still bother, Harry?" said Hermione in exasperation. "Just move on with your life. Cho's still your friend."
"I know, but I still like Cho a lot. You know that."
"That doesn't mean you have to go and pick fights with Malfoy! It won't prove anything. Besides, he hasn't even bothered you for quite a while now."
Yeah, that's because he's got my ex, Harry thought. "I know. Maybe I am going a bit too overboard. Cho did say there were other girls out there for me. I should give them a chance, shouldn't I?"
Hermione smiled. "You should. I bet there's someone who—Ron!" She caught his wand just in time. "You aren't supposed to say the spell yet! Harry and I aren't even ready! Besides, you did this all wrong..." Hermione went on and on about the procedure while an annoyed Ron rolled his eyes and sulked in his chair.
Harry just sat there and laughed inside. He never really realized how great Hermione really was...until now.
~*~*~*~*~
Cho caught up with Eva at the end of classes that day.
"We must talk, Eva,"
Eva just ignored her and kept on walking. Cho followed her while giving numerous apologies and explanations.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I do like Draco- a lot. I know you liked him too, but you didn't even talk to him! Eva, he just happened to like me too—" "Well, that makes me fell a whole lot better!" Eva turned around abruptly. "Of course he likes you! Everyone likes you! You're miss popular!" Her voice was dripping with mockery.
Cho was appalled. "No I'm not! How can you say that?!"
"Because it's true! You know it! You've had everything! Cedric Diggory liked you and asked you to the Yule Ball last year! You two dated! Do you know how many girls practically drooled all over him?! And he was yours alone! Then, the famous boy hero liked you ever since he laid eyes on you! And you decide to break his heart and go with Draco, who likes you as well! Do you not realize now that you get everything, Cho?! Why won't you just lay low for once and give someone else some glory!"
"You make it sound like it sound like it's my bloody fault for being with them? What was so wrong about it? Okay, I know that my past with Harry hadn't gone too well, but it isn't my fault they take an interest in me!" Cho breathed heavily. What had she just said? "Eva, you're making me sound so vain, and I really don't want to be that way!"
"Just forget it! You don't understand what I'm trying to say! Look, I don't want you too sound more vain than you already are, so just don't speak to me and everything will be fine." Eva then stormed away.
"How can you say I'm already vain?!" Cho hollered after her. She wanted to just scream and let all her anger out. "Fine, be that way! Just walk away from your problems, Eva!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Author's Note: Cho lost a friend, and Harry starts realizing/developing feeling for Hermione. So much Drama... Lolz. Just a couple more chapters left! I think you'll like the very end. It's probably my favourite part! I love it! Hope you do too...
