Later that year....
Cho sat in the library studying when Wanona came in with a solemn faced Gabrielle.
"What's wrong girls?" asked Cho.
"Gabrielle has some bad news for you Cho." said Wanona pushing Gabrielle forward.
"What's going on? What's happened?" asked Cho.
"I can't believe he did this to you." cursed Gabrielle.
"What? Tell me what did who do to me?" asked Cho.
"We caught Gabriel in a deep kiss with Orla Quirke." said Gabrielle.
"He what?" asked Cho.
"We know." Chorused the girls.
Cho got slowly to her feet, the pain from her accident still going through her body.
Her friends helped her up and took her books form the desk.
They then walked with her to the portrait that was the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room.
"He was here a while ago." said Wanona.
"I believe you Wanona." said Cho.
"Excuse me, but did you see a guy who looks kinda like me here with a girl with long blonde curls?" asked Gabrielle.
"Oh yes they were here quite a while. They parted with a rather intense kiss if I do say." said the portrait.
"Thank you. Did you see where they went?" asked Wanona.
"Well the guy went into the common room and the girl just left," said the portrait.
"Thank you for your help." said Gabrielle.
Cho said the password and the three girls walked in to see Gabriel sat by the fire with a loved up expression.
"Oh hello Gabriel." said Cho as she slowly made her way towards him.
"Hello Cho. Here let me help you." said Gabriel getting up so Cho could sit down .
"I'm fine thank you." said Cho coldly.
"What's with you?" asked Gabriel.
" Wanona and Gabrielle saw you with Orla Quirke today Gabriel in a very romantic position." said Cho putting her hands on her hips.
"It's nothing Cho I swear. We're like you and the Weasley twins, just friends." Said Gabriel with an honest expression.
"Well why did you kiss her then?" asked Cho.
"Well we were friends but now I've realise how much I like her," said Gabriel.
"So what, you weren't going tell me I was dumped?" asked Cho.
"Yeah, well sorry but I think you should see someone else." said Gabriel.
"Nice way to dump someone bro." said Gabrielle.
"Yeah thanks a lot Gabriel," exclaimed Cho slapping him.
She and the other two girls walked back to their dorm leaving Gabriel to sooth his stinging cheek alone.
Cho sat on her bed and sighed.
Now whom could she go to with to the Yule ball?
"Don't worry Cho, guys will be begging you to go with them after they find out your single." assured Wanona.
"I'm sorry about my brother's behaviour Cho. He can be such a jerk," said Gabrielle.
"I'm OK. I think I'll go for a walk," said Cho.
She took the walking stick from next to her bed and walked out the dorm.
She passed Gabriel as fast as she could before walking around the castle.
She saw Cedric Diggory and his little fan club coming out the library and watched as Cedric waved his club away so he could have some privacy.
"Hey Cho." said Cedric walking towards her.
"Cedric. Something on your mind? You seem distracted," asked Cho.
"Um well see I have a bit of a problem," said Cedric.
"Can I help?" asked Cho.
Cedric smiled and helped Cho to the nearest bench.
"Well I need a partner for the Yule ball and I'm having trouble finding the right person," explained Cedric.
"Well I'll go with you." shrugged Cho.
"But what about you and Gabriel?" asked Cedric.
"He's been seeing Orla Quirke behind my back so I dumped him." said Cho without much emotion.
"So you want to go with me?" asked Cedric.
"Sure I'd love to." smiled Cho.
"I'll see you later then." smiled Cedric getting up and walking towards the Hufflepuff common room.
Cho grinned happily to her self as she walked back to the Ravenclaw common room to tell Gabrielle and Wanona the news.
She then bumped into Fred who seemed to be not quite all there.
Since his incident with Gabriel, Fred had been distant and had stayed away from Cho as much as possible.
"Fred I wanted to talk to you." said Cho putting a hand on his shoulder and turning him around to face her.
There were bags under his eyes and the mischievous twinkle that was usually there was gone.
"Are you OK Fred? You look like you haven't slept in a month." Cho asked concerned.
"I have to go Cho. Need to ask Angelina to the ball." said Fred before he over took her.
Cho frowned as she made her way back to the Ravenclaw common room.
She walked in and saw Gabrielle giving her brother a large talk on relationships.
"Hey Gabrielle where's Wanona?" asked Cho looking around.
"Oh she's gone with Arnold McField to the hall. I think he's going to ask her out," said Gabrielle looking daggers at her brother.
"I've got good news. I'm going to the ball with Cedric Diggory." smiled Cho.
Gabriel's jaw dropped.
"Your what?" asked Gabriel.
"Good on you Cho." smiled Gabrielle.
"Well since your seeing Orla Quirke I thought I'd need someone else to go with to the ball." shrugged Cho.
"But I never thought you'd move on so fast." said Gabriel.
"What because I really liked you? Get over yourself Gabriel!" exclaimed Cho.
Gabriel got up and went up the boys' staircase leaving the two to talk.
" So who are you going to the ball with?" asked Cho sitting down.
"Well I have been asked by Ken Pascal, Johnny Arnott and Michael Evans. Don't know which one to go with though." Smiled Gabrielle sitting down beside her.
"Maybe I should have asked Fred instead of Cedric," pondered Cho.
"I don't think so Cho. I'm sure he's asked Angelina by now." sighed Gabrielle.
"So you decided whom your going to go with?" asked Cho.
"I think I'll go with Michael," said Gabrielle.
"I'm going to go have a nap," said Cho getting up and walking to her room.
"OK talk later." said Gabrielle.
