Chapter: The cold eyes that leave their mark
"Here we are." Cho smiled.
Harry looked at the place she had taken him. An old, rundown hotel that was not running any longer. "Why are we here again."
"Shopping…"
"This isn't a shop."
"Just look at what's inside."
Harry reached in his pocket double checking that he indeed had his wand. His fingers brushed along its handle. Harry looked into Cho's eyes and noticed a flicker of fear. What is going on? Harry felt his scar burn intensely. He is happy…but why? He looked toward Cho and she looked away. Her thin hand reached for the door. Harry did not want to know what was behind the door and tried to yell to her but nothing came out of his mouth. She began to turn the knob. With each turn the pain intensified. He must be really scary…
Cho opened the door slowly. Harry squinted because of the pain. The room was filled with darkness, a single candle sat on a table across from them. Cho pushed Harry into the room. Many other candles flickered into sight. They were surrounding what seemed to be a body passed out on the floor.
"Lumos!" The end of Harry's wand ignited. He directed it toward the form of a body. Harry gasped as he recognized who it was. "HERMIONE!" He ran to her. He held his wand to her face. Her chest was moving. She is still alive! Harry rolled her over on to her back, his arms supported her head. The light from the candles flickered on her face. Harry moved the hair that lay across her forehead.
Cho shuttered from the door.
Harry ignored her.
She went in to the room next to the one they were in.
Harry picked her up and made his way to the door.
"Leaving so soon?" Called an icy voice from the other side of the room.
The hair on the back of Harry's neck stood straight up. He slowly turned around to meet the gaze of a man wearing a cloak with a hood that covered his face. Harry took a step backwards.
"Long time no see."
"I-I guess." He held Hermione closer to him.
A smirk came across the face of the cloaked man.
"Pity your girlfriend could not stand the sight of me. One look into my eyes and she fainted." Harry looked down at Hermione. "Pretty thing that girl. What does she see in you?"
"What do you want with Hermione?"
"You!"
"Me..?"
"Yes you."
Harry chewed his bottom lip. He kept his eyes on the man. He slowly bent his knees and placed Hermione on the floor. "Leave Hermione out of this. She does not deserve to get hurt."
"Potter, Potter, Potter, who ever said that you made up the rules?" I hold your life in my hands."
Shit!
Harry put his hand on the handle of his wand.
The man chuckled.
Harry glared back.

Cho bit her fingernails.
Draco sat in a chair near her. "What is wrong Cho?"
"I can not believe that I just gave Harry to V-You-know-who."
"Neither can I."
"Me working with the Dark lord."
"I know what you mean."
"What has come over me? I could never forgive myself." She threw herself onto the bed with the moth eaten sheets. She began to cry into her arm. Draco looked toward her. He climbed onto the bed with her. He wrapped his arm around her. "How can you handle it?"
"Something I was born with." Draco moved closer to him.
Cho pushed him away. "Why did you make me do such a thing?"
"Because I needed to get Harry over here and I tried but I knew he would listen to you."
Cho pushed him off the bed. "I can't believe you."
Draco got up.
"Why would you ever work with you-know-who?"
"Because my father is a deatheater."
Cho moved away from him. She raised her head off her arm. "I can not believe this. I can not believe this." Tears and mascara ran down her cheeks.
"I don't want to work with Lord Voldermort!"
Cho sat up on the bed. "Draco…"
"I can't be a death eater. I am not like my father. I only talk big…actually it is eating me up inside. I feel so guilty"
Cho crawled toward him on the bed.
"I am so sorry for ever getting you involved. Things have gotten out of control. I don't remember when Voldermort came into the picture exactly. I am scared I guess. Scared of what he would do to me if I didn't obey him…..this should have never happened."
Cho reached out and placed one hand on his cheek. He looked up at her. She pulled him up onto the bed. She kissed him on the cheek. "So what do you want to do?"
Draco looked away from her. "I don't know."
Cho rested her head onto his shoulder.
Draco wrapped his arms around her.
"What if Harry is killed, for the rest of my life I have to live with the fact that I gave him to You-know-who. It will be my fault…my fault!"
Draco thought about what she said for a few seconds. "I-I never thought about it like that. I would be responsible for killing Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Oh Cho, what have we done. I don't hate him that much. I guess I was just jealous that he got more attention then I did."
"Now you will get the attention."
"Yeah the wrong attention, I don't want to be known as the boy who helped kill Harry Potter."
"Then you should stop it from happening."
"I know but what?"
"I don't know, think of something. If you succeed…" Cho whispered something into his ear.
He smiled. "All right." He got off the bed and opened the door to the outside. He sprinted up the road and up onto the main street. Snape and Professor McGonagall were patrolling the streets.
"Professor Snape! Professor McGonagall!" Draco yelled to get their attention.
"What is it Mr. Malfoy?" Prof. McGonagall asked as Snape appeared at her side.
"Lord Voldermort is trying to kill Harry!"
"What?!" Snape's eyes widened.
"Draco what is going on?" McGonagall said slowly.
"Harry is down at the old run down hotel and Voldermort is there and he is going to kill him."
McGonagall turned to Snape. "Get Dumbledore!"
Snape nodded and quickly apparated.
"Show me where they are boy!" McGonagall's face turned pale. "How long ago did they go in to the hotel?"
"Harry, about 5 minutes ago."
"I hope it isn't too late."
Draco looked at the road.

A/N: I have some bad news a guy….my family is going to Maine for about 10 days. We are leaving tomorrow morning. The place we are going has the internet but I will not be able to update until I get back. This does give me a lot of time to get ahead in my writing. I am really sorry and I hope you guys won't hate me too much since I kinda left on a cliffe. Again, I am so evil! Before you click out of my story please read the bottom. I am having trouble with something and want you guys to help decide something for me. So please read it! Thanks guys for all the reviews!
Responses:
Elenrod- Actually on July 23 Daniel Radcliffe turned 15. Since I turned 17 only a few days after I am almost 2 years older than him. Does that make sense? Yay! Another Cho hater! I am glad. That is the end of the Cho/Harry relationship in my story. I wish somebody would push her in front of a bus. Lol just kidding, that's a joke from Mean Girls. Well anyways thanks for the reviews they mean a lot to me.
Gorgeousgirlie- Of course I am going to carry on with the story. I am having too much fun with it. Especially the Cho bashing. Thanks for the review.
Preciousonee- I dunno if this is how J.K will depict her in the future. This is just how I see her in this twisted head of mine. Thanks for the review.
Phoenixfire180- All in due time. You will have to continue reading the fanfic to find out. But for a special little hint the next chapter is called "Finding love in the middle of the fight". Isn't that obvious enough? Something is going down in chapter 10. lol. Thanks for the review.
Acdc-girl2029- You're right, who does know anymore. I am glad you like the story. Now that I think about it…is silvery green even a color? I hope you don't hate me for going away for 10 days. I WILL MISS YOU ALL!! I might cry now… anyway, thanks for the reviews and keep updating your story… I am sort of addicted to it. I know I am weird.
IMPORTANT…MUST READ!
Hey guys if you have any suggestions for future chapters please submit. I also want to know who you think is the best paring for Ron. I am thinking about having something in the future, maybe a chapter all in the future. How about this…which ever girl receives the most votes will marry Ron. And sorry Hermione is already spoken for…you will find out later. And if you guys are nasty you can have Ginny but personally I am against that paring. Eww, incest. Anyway this gives me something to write about while I am away and hey it gets people involved with the story. Well I guess I will talk to you in the next chapter, when ever that will be.
See you guys around…
