Disclaimer: I don't own. I just do! The magnificence that is the story belongs only to J.K! I only own the back-up infatuation that is this scheme.
Author's note: I'd like to thank LT2000 for the (ahem) polite and encouraging review. OK, I'm fine with the comment but I would appreciate it if you didn't call him "Weasel." And not everything is what it seems... Chapter 5 here!!! Nyahaha...
Chapter 5:
'Why I'm going out with him I don't know,' Cho thought, regretfully. She supposed strongly that it was her sense of pride and momentary desperation for company. Ron, however, did the actual asking out of obsessed curiosity. "What's she really like?" he said to himself while walking to pick her up. As she stepped out in faded jeans and a nice yellow blouse, Ron thought, 'OK, this is not going to work...' As the evening passed (sloooooowly), Cho said in mid-butterbeer, "Ron? I don't think there's much... err, chemistry going on here." He looked at her, relieved. "Hey, no offense, but neither do I! I guess we should just leave it at friendship, huh?" he said. "Yeah," was her answer. And instead of a goodnight kiss, there was, well, a goodnight high-five (hahaha!).
Meanwhile, in her dormitory, Hermione was thinking—hard—of what to say in her letter. "Uh... 'Dear Malfoy'... no, 'Dear Draco'... um..." she thought out loud. Finally, after about an hour, she finished her little, uh... message. (A/N: "Little," really isn't the word for it!) Only one problem; how was she going to get it to him? He knew what Crookshanks looked like and that he belonged to her. Hedwig? Nah; he knew her too. Pigwidgeon? Ron would be furious. Trevor? Like she even wanted to touch the thing! Panic, panic, panic!!! "WAIT!" she said aloud. "The school owl. He's hardly used; Draco's never seen it. Yes!" she exclaimed, running to the Owlery Tower. She ran all the way up to find... "Draco? Uh, I mean, Malfoy? What are you doing here?" she asked, attempting to sound angry. "Nothing, Herm—uh, Granger," he retorted, "just sending a letter." Hermione noticed that he wasn't using his own owl. She peered closer only to see that the letter was for her! "Why is that letter for me?" she said. "No, it isn't!" he said, backing up to a corner. "Yes it is. And this is for you," she told him. "Really? I mean... who cares?" was his impolite reply. She looked at him as if to say, "Stop hiding, Draco. Our feelings are mutual. Stop running away from me; it hurts." The thought of actually saying this made her cry. Draco's eyes and heart softened for the girl. 'I didn't mean to make her cry; I love her.' He came toward the sobbing young woman and kissed her gently. "I'll stop running and hiding, now. I love you," he said, kissing her again. And now that she knew, she could stop crying. She enjoyed that moment to its fullest, no less.
The next morning, Harry came up to Cho to ask for forgiveness and maybe—just maybe—a second chance. But she said, "Harry, I forgive you, I really do. But it just won't work, you said it yourself. I'm sorry Harry, but I've met somebody." Harry looked up in fear. "R-Ron?" he asked. Cho laughed and giggled at the thought. How ridiculous! "No, silly! Roger Davies." Harry felt relieved and disappointed at the same time. Relieved because it wasn't Ron, but disappointed because of his loss of a second chance. Later, during History of Magic, he sneaked into listening to a song that he could relate to.
I should've seen it coming I should've read the signsAnyway (anyway)
I guess it's over
Can't believe that I've been fooled again...Well, maybe you know what I mean. Harry once again was refused; but this time, it didn't hurt. Not a lot, anyway, but it was most likely because he was used to it.
Hermione and Draco were out on the grounds, reading a book. Then the girl remembered something that she had wanted to ask Draco for some time. "Draco?"
"Yeah?"
"Why do you like stepping all over people? No offense, hun, but why do you hide your feelings and only show... hungriness of power?"
"Well, 'Mione, it's like this..."
A/N: I hope this one is appreciated. R&R is, once again, optional; and flames are welcome!!! Sorry about the weird pairings, but I wanted to see reaction. And I got it! Thanks to all my reviewers, really, I appreciate it. Again, slightly longer chapter. It'll get longer with every entry. I hope you guys enjoyed it!!! ï
