Chapter 2

Peter woke the next morning in the hospital wing. It seemed that not a minute after he had been knocked out, Malfoy collapsed. He concluded this because Malfoy was fast asleep on the bed across from him. Feeling tired, Peter laid back down and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he saw another pair of eyes looking into his about an inch from his face. "Ack!", Peter said, kicking off the bed and collided with the hard tile floor. When he peered over the edge of the bed, he saw that it was Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw seeker. "Oh hello Cho. How are ya?", Peter asked, his breathing returning to normal. "How did you know my name?", she asked suspiciously. Peter pointed at the sewing on the inside of her robe. "Oh... yeah...", she said, going a slight tint of pink, "So you're a muggle huh?

"Yeah. Pathetic isn't it?"

"What's so pathetic about being a muggle."

"Nothing, except the fact that Mr. Pure Blood over there was nearly bested by me.", Peter muttered, looking at Malfoy. "Well don't let that go to your head. I dont like big-headed gits like him.", she said, running her hand through Peter's hair before leaving.

Peter watched as she walked down the way and tossed one of Fred's water balloons at Malfoy. The Slytherin fell out of bed and Cho sprinted out of the hospital wing as Madam Pomferey chased her away. Peter chuckled to himself. "So muggle, you like witches.", stated the soaked Malfoy, his eyes covered by his dripping bangs. "Of course. I dont like wizards like you do.", Peter replied, getting up and leaving the hospital wing.

Over the next few days, Peter began to see a lot of Cho. The sorting hat had put him in Ravenclaw after an hour of considering and picking apart Peter's personality. By Tuesday, Roger Davies, Cho, and Peter began studying together everyday. "Hey Peter, what is the spell to banish dementors?", Roger asked, frantically searching through his spellbooks. "It's Expecto Patronum, Rog.", Cho said, glancing at Peter. Peter looked back at her. Roger noticed the awkward silence and looked up. "I'm just gonna leave you too alone, alright?", he said, packing up his books and papers. "What!", Cho said snapping out of it, "No. I was just thinking, lets get back to work."

That night, in the Ravenclaw tower common room, Peter sat near the fire after hours, reading up on the Unforgivable Curses. A hand on his shoulder made him turn to see Cho standing over him, in muggle clothes. A wizard wearing muggle clothing? I have to be dreaming now, Peter thought, staring at her in wonder. "Hey Peter, working hard?", asked Cho, taking a seat next to him. "Nah just reading up on the Unforgivable Curses.", he replied. "Well I'm impressed. Normally, a muggle would be frightened, much less fascinated by magic.", Cho said, a smile forming on her already glowing face. "Heh.", Peter's ears went red. Cho was actually impressed with him. "I'm gonna head off to bed. Good night." Peter got up, gave Cho a hug, and went towards the boy's dorm, leaving Cho in a temporary paralysis.
