Chapter 11: The End

Cho felt bad. But not nearly as bad as she thought she'd feel if Harry found out of her and Draco. She crossed her arms as if she was cold. The biggest thing she felt bad about was the fact Harry never had been cheating. She shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, all Hermione was doing was hugging her and she only kissed him on the cheek. Plus Hermione was Ron's girlfriend; she's a nice person and probably would never do that to him.

'And look at me,' Cho thought while chuckling bitterly, 'I accuse Harry of cheating on me with his best friend's girlfriend and here I was French kissing Draco Malfoy, his worst enemy.'

"I didn't have the right," mumbled Cho sadly while scanning through the details of the night he and Hermione had hugged, "I had no right to accuse..."

Cho looked out a window that led out to the grounds, then hit her head against the windowpane muttering, "Why am I such a bloody idiot?"

'I love Harry. I do. So how the heck could do such a horrible thing to him? How, how, how? How can I even get him to forgive me, how?' Cho thought sadly as a few tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Why should he forgive me?" whispered Cho, "I wouldn't forgive me if I were him."

Cho buried her head in her hands sadly.

Ron turned a corner while whistling. He was headed for the library to meet with Hermione and Harry to study. He had been at Quidditch practice. He stared straight ahead and slowly stopped whistling as he caught sight of a girl with long, silky black hair. Ron curiously raised an eyebrow. That girl looked vaguely familiar.... The girl hit her head on the windowpane several times. She muttered something under her breath... than tucked her hair behind her ear. Ron's mouth shot open when he saw it was Cho. Tears leaked from her eyes and Ron was about to comfort her when she remembered what she had just done to his best friend. He suddenly felt a shot of anger towards him. Cho's head suddenly turned to him and she quickly wiped her eyes and stood up straight and stared at Ron. Ron glared and scowled at her then walked up to her so they were close enough to talk.

"How could you do that to him!?" Ron yelled at Cho.

No reply came.

"You hurt him! He hasn't done anything but care for you!" Ron hollered at her. He was frustrated with her. Harry hadn't done anything but love her and what does she do? Goes and cheats on him with Malfoy.

A tear streamed down Cho's cheek.

"Please. Just leave me alone," she whispered while looking at her shoes.

"He's my best friend! You think I wasn't going to do anything? You completely crushed him! He comforts one of his best friends and you cheat on him? You want to tell me the logic in that!?" Ron yelled completely enraged.

"Just leave me alone! This is none of your business!" Cho yelled at him, suddenly feeling her courage come in.

"It is my business! My friend has just had a dagger pushed through his heart and you expect it to not be my business!" Ron yelled at her.

Cho glared at Ron then pushed past him. Ron walked to the library having suddenly calmed down at the lost sight of Cho.

Hermione was outside the door pacing, apparently waiting for Ron.

"Why did it take you so long? I heard yelling," Hermione said once she had caught sight of Ron.

"I saw Cho," he said with his hand on the handle of the door but Hermione stopped him.

"Oh no. Don't tell me you yelled at her!" Hermione said.

"Maybe," replied Ron.

"Ron! You can't just go up to her and yell!" exclaimed Hermione.

"And why not?" Ron asked.

"You just can't! Girls are more sensitive than guys! They take things more personally!" Hermione told him.

Ron grunted and walked through the door. Hermione shook her head disapprovingly. Harry was sitting at a table with a Potions book. His eyes were darting along the pages slowly, most of the times his eyes would look back at the pages over and over as if not understanding what he had just read. Ron sat next to him and took another book from a stack Harry and Hermione had taken out and started reading through the pages. Hermione quietly prowled through the aisles of books looking for and Arithmancy text.

They studied for nearly an hour until Ron and Harry said they were tired. Hermione remained in the library to keep studying.

"I saw Cho..." Ron broke the silence between them on their way to Gryffindor Tower.

Harry stopped. "Excuse me?"

"I saw Cho," repeated Ron nervously. He stopped walking and turned back to Harry.

"And?" Harry asked with wide eyes.

"I got mad at her and yelled.... But can you blame me? She hurt you horribly and--" Ron was cut off.

"Are you nuts! You can't take matters into your own hands, Ron! Just don't! Don't take it upon yourself, don't butt into this! I know you mean well but just don't, okay?" Harry said in a loud tone.

Ron paused for a few seconds. "All right..." he replied finally.

Ron walked to the common room, assuming Harry was behind him but when he turned he saw no black-haired boy with glasses. He continued to their dormitory and left Harry alon to do whatever it was he was doing.

Harry had gone outside when Ron had agreed to not butt into the problem. He had gone outside to sit in the shade of a willow tree in front of the lake. He closed his eyes and laid back. This was annoying him so much.

He was almost going to drift into a nap but he felt lips on his own. Harry's eyes shot open and he found Cho next to him kneeling. She smiled at him when she took her lips away. He looked at her sadly and her smile was stolen away. Harry sat up.

"Have you had enough time yet?" she asked biting her lip.

Harry paused a moment before he whispered, "Yes." They both stood.

Cho bit her lip harder, a droplet of red now trickling down her pale chin. Harry reached out and wiped the blood away.

"And?" she whispered nervously.

"I love you. But I can't handle this, not now. And if Voldemort were to find out about us you could get hurt..."

"But I will take that risk," said Cho while clasping his right hand with both of hers.

"But I won't. I'm not risking your life," he said pulling his hand away and turning his gaze away.

"Please, Harry," Cho bit her lip even harder, leaving an indentation in her bottom lip when she opened her mouth again.

"I can't, I can't handle it. Cho, I'm sorry...but I can't trust you.... Hermione's my best friend and she was hurt, of course I was going to hug her. If... if your going to cheat on me just because I hug her, I... I don't know if I can handle that kind of pain again. I'm sorry but we've got to brake up."

Cho looked down and tears fell from her eyes but she nodded. Harry embraced her sadly.

"I'm sorry," he whispered sadly.

"Please tell me we can be friends though," Cho asked looking at Harry's face but avoiding his eyes.

He nodded and gave her a small kiss then walked away to leave Cho collapsing onto the ground sobbing quiet sobs.

Harry was more hurt than Cho. The pain, once again, surpassed everything else he'd felt. It was true; Voldemort probably would use Cho against him. Put her in constant danger and he wouldn't be able to live with him self if he had been the cause of another death that, unlike with Cedric, he could have prevented.

Hermione and Ron bumped into Harry in the hall.

"Harry, why do you look so sad... so hurt so..." Hermione stopped and let out a tiny gasp.

"What?" asked Ron looking from the glum Harry to Hermione, whose hand was covering her mouth.

"I just broke it off with Cho," Harry whispered. Ron faintly mumbled "oh." But none of them heard. Hermione was already trying to console Harry. She put her arm around him and offered kind words.

"If it was meant to be, she wouldn't have cheated. And there will always be the growing factor of you-know-who, you did the right thing," is what Hermione said.

"I know," he said quietly, "but it still hurts. Nothing will change that...." Hermione nor Ron could protest to that fact. They couldn't do anything to stop that.

It was days before Harry was back to normal. He would really smile and laugh but he still couldn't handle seeing Cho. It was almost a week before that happened. Harry had started to channel his anger and sadness by simply punching his pillow or concentrating more on his homework.

Finally, Cho had said something to Harry. "Hello Harry." Everyone was leaving the Great Hall after dinner that day.

"Evening Cho," Harry said.

"How have you been doing?"

"Fine."

"I've...I've got to go and..." Cho walked away, still feeling the tension between them. Harry doubted they would be able to talk like they used to. Cho, of course, stopped seeing Malfoy and generally avoided him when she could. Malfoy had expected that, and thus did not care. Ron and Hermione had continued to get closer. Harry was much better after a week and was completely his old self. Thus, we must say:

The End
