Author's Note: Thanks for all your reviews!

Kou Haruko- Almost star crossed? Lol. More like very. But then again, it's like that with half of the wizarding world. Thanks for your review!

Elektra05- You're welcome! I'm glad to hear from you again! But I agree with some of the authors on this site dying... isn't it just annoying that a story suddenly stops and is incomplete?

.G.P.- Thanks! Don't worry. I'm sure they'll bring all the rest HP books to life! That is, if JK Rowling completes the last two in the next two years. But, anyway, keep in touch!

Lucy- Hi! Thank you for your kind words. Hope you enjoy the rest of the sequel!

Disclaimer: None, really. JK Rowling supports fan fiction and says the author (us) should credit all work. I guess I own Draco and Cho then. So I demand Katie Leung to be removed!

Chapter 2: It's All For The Best

A tapping noise arose Cho early the next morning and ended her blissful dream.

Click...Click... Click

Cho tried ignoring it, but it wouldn't stop. She groggily sat up and scanned the room to find the cause of such noise. An owl stood on the window ledge and furiously pecked at the glass. Cho quickly let the bird inside and it dropped a letter on the floor beside her. She petted it, but the owl snapped its beak at her for having it tap the window for so long.

"Sorry," Cho muttered and opened the letter. Her face fell as she read it:

Cho,

I know you and Draco are struggling. Your father and I are worried sick and want you to come home straight away. Bring Draco if you must, but all I want is for you to have an easier life than the one you have now. We're not going to search for you, don't worry. Just please, come home.

Love From,

Mum

"I can't," Cho whispered to herself. She turned the letter over and began writing a response.

Mum,

I don't know what to say, exactly. But all I have to say is no. That's all I can think of. There are so much more, so many reasons, but I can't just come home. As much as I'd like to see everyone again and live a normal life, I can't right now. Perhaps some time in the future. I do hope you all are well. Don't worry about us. Draco and I are fine.

Love Always,

Cho

She sat still for a moment and sighed. She spotted another letter on the floor and hadn't noticed it before. It was from her sister, Mei-Lin. Cho picked it up and began reading the scrawled words.

Dear Cho,

Hi! How are you? I miss you! When are you to come home? Mum and dad said I have to start primary school this September. I am scared. I want you to come with me. Please can you come home? You was not at my birthday this year. I was sad. But I still have the present you give me. It is the best present and my favourite one. I love you and you are the best sister in the world and I wish I can see you. Bye, Cho! Write me soon!

Love,

Mei

Cho stifled a sob as she finished. Tears splattered gradually on the letter. Mei-Lin's spelling and grammar weren't very clear, but Cho understood it all the same. As her sister wanted, she wrote a letter to her in return. Once finished, she tied both letters to the waiting owl and sent it off.

"Cho-" Draco muttered groggily and rolled onto his back. He stirred at the sound of the owl's energetic hoot. He breathed in deeply and fell back into his slumber.

At times, Cho wouldn't believe she left behind her family and life at home... all for Draco Malfoy. She regretted it at times as well, but she remembered how much she loved him and kept reassuring the future will hold great things for them.

Patience is a virtue

"She refuses to come home! I told you!" Mrs. Chang waved Cho's letter in her husband's face.

"Well, at least we now know for sure," he replied.

"No!" Mei-Lin whined. She was sitting in the corner of the lounge, clutching Cho's letter. "No! She is coming back! Cho wrote to me and said she'll come and see me soon!"

Mrs. Chang's head jerked towards her. "Cho wrote that in your letter? Sweetie, may I see it please?"

"No," Mei said flatly and turned away, hiding the letter behind her back.

Mrs. Chang breathed in aggravation. "Well, Cho told us she wasn't returning," she whispered as she turned back to her husband. "Perhaps she was just cheering Mei up. I know she'll return... late in the future. Still, I think it's time for my suggestion."

"What'll that be? You don't suppose we'll search for her?" said Mr. Chang.

"No, no, no," Mrs. Chang shook her head and whispered, quieter still. "I know Cho and her deep respect for Dumbledore. After that incident with Cedric, she trusted Dumbledore and had full confidence he would defeat the dark side. Cho would have avenged Cedric's death! How can she turn down my suggestion to turn to Dumbledore now when she's struggling out there? He'll be more than welcoming to her and at least she'll be safe for the time being."

"True... I suppose it's always worth a try. But what of the Malfoy Cho is with? Isn't his family... against the headmaster?"

Mrs. Chang stared at her husband a moment and narrowed her eyes. "Yes... but Draco risked all of that for Cho. I don't think that boy really cares about sides, or his family in the least. If Cho agrees with my suggestion, Draco has no choice but to go along with her."

"Ah, yes," Mr. Chang nodded, looking as if he understood. But really, he was still a bit confused. "If it goes wrong and Cho is unhappy, it's you're fault. It's your idea, not mine. All I want is for our daughter to be happy and well."

"Alright then. I'm just doing what I feel is best. But if all does go well, then I can be thought of as a better mother like before."

Author's Note: Sorry if it was a bit boring. At least it was short. The next one should be more interesting, maybe a bit longer. I don't want to make this sequel very long, because if I were to continue with this, I'll have to kill someone off or have a sad ending! Please keep all your wonderful reviews coming! =P
