Diary! I can't believe this! I have so much to tell you about the Halloween Ball! I don't even know where to begin.
I got ready with the help of my roomies. My hair was pulled back by funky little knots, and covered in silver glitter. I wore a silver slip dress and silver slippers, along with my silver faerie wings. I had on glittery silver eye make-up and sparkly pink lipstick. I think I looked rather cute, if I say so myself.
Padma was dress like an old fashioned princess with a light pink cone hat on her head. We linked arms and walked out of the Ravenclaw Common Room together. We walked down the stairs passing couples of people. Then we entered the Great Hall and paused in the doorway.
"I see Lee Jordon over there by the food table with the Weasley twins." I informed Padma.
"And Harry is by the stage with Ron Weasley." Padma told me.
We smiled at each other and then went our separate ways. Harry was dressed like the seeker from The Kenmare Kestrels… with emerald green robes. His friend Ron was dressed like a Chudley Cannons Quidditch player in bright orange. They were quite a sight, like peas and carrots.
"Hello Harry." I greeted cheerfully, but eyeing Ron accusingly.
When Harry saw me he looked rather surprised, "Hello Cho, how are you?"
"Great! Wanna dance?" I inquired touching his arm gently.
"No, no thank you." Harry shook his head but kept smiling.
"Alright then…" I trailed off unsure of what to say. I looked around the Great Hall at all the couples dancing together. Padma and Jordon seemed to be enjoying each other's company… I was happy for her. At least one of us could have an uncomplicated life.
"Cho? I'll be right back, would you like some punch or something?" Harry inquired breaking my train of thought.
"That's alright, I'll just wait for you to come back." I replied, sort of disappointed.
Harry nodded and walked away, and to nobody's surprise, Ron was following him. I sighed and hopped up on the corner of the stage, The Weird Sisters had just barely begun to set their gear up.
"Where's your boyfriend?"
I looked behind me and watched Draco jump gracefully off the stage. He took my hands and gently helped me stand up. He was clad in dark grey robes, for the Falmouth Falcons Quidditch team. He had his hair combed back, and looked really good.
"Dunno, where's your, Pansy?"
"Eating." Draco replied pointing to the food table. Then he turned and took my wrist, "You're so beautiful, you know. I've thought about you all week long. I miss snogging you." he whispered and I knew that I was blushing.
"Really?" I turned towards him but the expression on his face had changed completely, "what's up?"
"Cho, when are you going to end this thing with Harry? What does he do for you?"
I looked away from Draco, feeling as if I had just been slapped across the face. I knew that I was a terrible girlfriend, but I didn't need it to be pointed out to me. "I was planning on…"
"Really? Is that true?" Draco crossed his arms and leaned against the stage, "Because I think you like stringing him along."
I spun back around, "Excuse me? I do not like stringing him on! I don't like it one bit! You want to know what he does for me? A hell of a lot more than you do!" I shouted, "He doesn't just snog my face off and then ignore me for weeks!"
I was about to walk away when Draco grabbed my wrist again. "Look all I meant was, you can't have both of us. You need to sort it out, and when you do come and find me."
"Let go!" I hissed and stormed out of the Great Hall.
I entered the court yard before I broke into tears. I was confused, I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do. What if I did break up with Harry? And then Draco continued kissing and then ignoring me?
I was about to go back to my dorm when I heard a loud gasping noise. I stood up and walked quietly towards a group of bushes. As I leaned closer I knew that my eyes were not mistaking me this time. Harry really was kissing Ron!
"Harry! Dammit!" I exclaimed so loudly that Ron jumped up in the air.
Harry walked out of the bushes, looking more guilty than ever. He was all flushed and had dirt on his face and leaves in hair. "Cho, it really isn't what it looks like…"
"Yeah, right, Ron just happened to fall on you, right?" I snapped and walked back over to the bench.
Harry followed me and sat down, while Ron took his exit. I wiped the burning tears from my eyes and stared back at the lit castle.
"I'm sorry." Harry stated quietly.
"I've been cheating on you too, in fact I was pondering whether I should break up with you tonight or not. But this guy turned out to be a real prat and I decided maybe I'd make a go of this thing with you… I guess not anymore." I stood up, "Well there, I said it. I got what I deserved, and you got, well…not a girlfriend, but a boyfriend. Best of luck."
"Wait a second, now you just wait a second. Who have you been cheating on me with?" Harry demanded, fixing his glasses.
"Draco Malfoy." I replied.
"WHAT?" Harry shouted, "my girlfriend and my worst enemy?!"
I glared down at Harry, how dare he even try and turn the tables on me. We're both at fault and if he thinks he came lay all the blame on me, he's sadly mistaken. "So what? You've been cheating on me with a BOY! A BOY, Harry. I think that is equally as bad if not worse!"
Harry sighed, his cheeks turning red from embarrassment, "please don't tell anybody."
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." I spoke truthfully.
"Friends?"
I took his hand, "yeah, friends."
"How about that dance?" Harry asked, and I accepted. We held hands and walked back up to the castle, "does Hermione know?"
"Unfortunately, but she doesn't approve. I think it's because she's secretly fancies Ron… but she was very angry with me that I asked you out. I felt that if I had a girlfriend maybe I could convince myself that I wasn't gay, but it didn't turn out that way. I wanted to tell you so many times but I didn't know how. That's why I avoided you so much… I guess I shouldn't feel angry that you cheated on me… You needed sometime from a guy that I just couldn't give you." He explained and I felt a lot better.
"And I should have told you earlier about Draco, I'm sorry." I replied.
Harry nodded understandingly as we entered the Great Hall. We walked to the centre of the dance floor and smiled at each other. I placed my hands in his and we danced our hearts out… when I say I dance, I mean try and keep in step with the music and hope we don't look like idiots.
After a couple of dances I told Harry to go find Ron. He thanked me and ran out of the Great Hall. I hummed to myself and walked over to the table to get a drink. I noticed Draco sitting by himself in the corner of the room. I strolled over to him and handed him a glass of punch.
"Hey."
"Hey yourself, so I guess you chose Harry? You seemed quite content with him on the dance floor." Draco sighed.
"No, actually I chose you. Harry and I broke up."
