Disclaimer- I don't own these characters.

A/N: Hello everyone, :I hope this chapter is an improvement. Thanks for all the reviews! Well, here's more!

"Excuse me, excuse me..." Cho puffed out as she rushed past many of the students. She saw Roger Davis catching up to her and she hurried on hoping to find a spot to hide
"Cho! Why are you running away from me! Come back!" Roger was coming closer and closer. Cho panicked. She quickened her steps and found herself running straight into the arms of the snobby Slytherin Draco Malfoy.
"Hey watch it! Where do you think you are going?" Malfoy yelled angrily at the girl, which had almost knocked him over. "Oh it's Potty's little girlfriend" He sneered. "Where's your darling Harry, or have you two stopped talking ever since you saw him hugging that mudblood?"
Cho felt her face flood. Her eyes started to fill with tears. She broke out of Malfoy's embrace and found herself running straight into the arms of Roger Davis who had come up towards them when Malfoy had been spitting those hurtful words at her.
"Cho," Roger felt himself glowing with unexpected happiness. "Don't worry honey. Ignore that person. You know that I love you and I will always care for you." He smiled at her and raised his head "I love Cho Chang" he yelled out into the air. He looked back down and smiled at Cho. Cho timidly smiled back and quickly looked down.
Cho lifted her head and looked into Roger's eyes again. She knew he loved her but she could never forget Harry. Or could she? Her thoughts still muddled, she let herself get enveloped into his comfortable embrace. But she could never forget Malfoy's words; her mind could never forget the scene of Harry embracing Hermione.

Harry quickened his footsteps. His mind replayed the images of Cho rushing this way. He felt that it was now or never. He had to go and talk to Cho. He had to tell her how he felt. He should never have gone and embraced Hermione no matter how sad she was feeling. He should never have hurt her like that. Hermione was close, but she was not Cho. Harry needed to let Cho know that she was the priority of his heart.
Harry saw Cho's figure running into Malfoy. He heard Malfroy's hateful words targeted at Cho. He felt anger rush into him. Harry took out his wand. He was prepared to rush up to Malfoy and use the unforgivable curses on him. Just at that moment, Harry saw Cho turn away and crash into Roger Davis. His heart tightened. He watched on. He saw Roger Davis whispering to Cho and felt a rush of jealousy. Still, he thought, he was the one that Cho loved. Roger Davis couldn't take that away. Harry's heart filled with hope again. He knew that Cho would never betray him. Harry lowered his head thinking about all the fun times that he had spent with Cho.
"I love Cho Chang" These words pierced through Harry's heart. He raised his head and saw Cho return Roger's smile. Harry's heart broke. He felt lost and sad. All the hope, which he earlier had, was gone. It had disappeared instantly with the three words and Cho's smile. Harry felt his own eyes flood with tears. He finally knew what Cho had felt when he had embraced Hermione. But now, it was too late, too late to win back the love, which he had lost. Harry took one last look at Cho and fled before anyone could see him.

Hermione had stopped a few feet away from Harry's figure and had seen everything, which had happened. Now seeing Harry's distraught look, she knew that it was her chance to grasp Harry's heart. She hurried quickly after Harry's disappearing figure hoping to offer some comfort to him. She could see that Harry had lost all hope of reconciliation with Cho, and she was sure by offering a little comfort, he would be hers again.

Voldemort was in a very bad mood. He had been feeling sad and lost for the past few days. These were not his feelings. "That Potter it has to be him. What has he being doing these days?" He sat down and tried to sleep, ever since Potter has wrecked his plans again, he had become cranky and ruthless to his followers.
"Master?" It was Wormtail. Voldemort felt his anger rise.
"Out! Out!" He screamed at Wormtail cowering at the door. "Tell all of the death eaters to get out! I wanted that prophecy but you worthless idiots failed to get it! Out!"
Suddenly he saw Cho and Roger Davis together and had a feeling of jealousy and hate. Voldemort smiled. Potter's weakness, I found it! Maybe this is a way to get the prophecy. He glared at Wormtail still cowering by the doorway. "Bring me my death eaters. I have a plan."
Wormtail looking at Voldemort's gleaming eyes shivered, he knew it was going to be another few sleepless months.
