Chapter SEVEN

Cho walked into the dormitory, sat on one of the sofa's in front of the fireplace, picked up Magic Magazine and started to read it. OK…'To get a guy to become attracted to you, make him jealous. Try hugging one of his friends a lot or flirt with his friends. He'll notice what you've got and will become attracted to you! How to blah blah blah blah blah.' This is so stupid…I can't believe I'm actually thinking about doing this.

Suddenly there was a door slam.

"Hey Chang, what are you doing up here?"

"Uh…nothing just reading a magazine my friend gave me."

"You mean that weird one who was interested in me?"

"Yeah…I mean…NO!"

"She is…guys like me can tell when a girl is interested in them." Draco sauntered over to Cho and plopped onto the sofa seat next to hers. Cho put the magazine near her face. What? Why am I feeling all nervous inside? Draco sat there quietly…too quietly.

"So what's next up your sleeve Malfoy?"

"Oh, nothing." Then he put his arm around Cho's shoulders. Cho pretended that she didn't care. Then he took the magazine and threw it onto the coffee table.

"Hey I wa--" Draco smashed his lips onto Cho's and started kissing her. Cho didn't know what had gotten into her but she started kissing him back. Draco gently pushed Cho down on the sofa and was propped himself on his elbow so he wouldn't squash Cho. Cho started unbuttoning Draco's shirt, but Draco didn't want to be the one with the shirt unbuttoned this time so he quickly took off Cho's sweater. Cho didn't mind…it was getting hot anyways. Cho had gotten down to the last button and was able to take his shirt off. Draco had just unbuttoned three of her buttons when she flipped him over so that she was on top of him. Draco let out what seemed like a laugh of approval.

"How did you learn to be so strong?" Draco said into Cho's kiss.

"Years of Quidditch…" Cho said proudly. "OH MY GOSH QUIDDITCH PRACTICE! I have to go!"

"No. Stay." Draco pushed Cho's head so that her lips were touching his. He began to kiss her again and she forgot everything and started kissing him back. Cho! What are you doing? Are you going to let some Slytherin boy beat you this year in Quidditch again?

"Sorry Draco. I really have to go this time I'm already really late." Cho's Quidditch uniform was lying on another sofa. Without wasting anytime, she didn't bother to go to her room to change. She took off her skirt right in front of Draco and put on her Quidditch knickers. Cho didn't check to see if Draco was watching her or not but she could feel his eyes looking at her. What a pervert. She fixed the buttons on her shirt and threw on her Quidditch robe. She left the dormitory without saying another word.

When Cho got to the field, everyone was there practicing already. She watched them for a while and spot her captain coming towards her.

"CHANG! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?" He shouted at her.

"Uh…I couldn't find my…shoes?" That wasn't a good idea…they were right next to my robe.

"Impossible! Professor Flitwick left them next to your robe! If you saw you're robe you should have seen your shoes!" Cho wiped the spit off of her face.

"I'm sorry"

" Ok…Well anyways let's just get to practice…Cho…where is your broom?"

"Oh shoot. I forgot it."

"Let's just use one of the school brooms for no--"

"CHOOO!!! YOU FORGOT YOUR BROOM!"

Cho looked to the direction of where the scream was coming from. It was her friend Ginger.

"Oh thanks Ginger!"

"No problem! Oh my gosh! You would never believe who told me to bring it to you!" Well, I don't know…maybe it was the person I share a dormitory with.

Cho put on her best fake excited face " Who was it?"

"It was…EEEH!!!" Ginger paused for a second and looked at the Quidditch captain. She leaned close to Cho's ear and said, "DRACO MALFOY!"

"Oh. Yay."

"I knooooow! Isn't it so cool! He went to the library like he knew I was there and told me to bring it to you!"

"Oh. Ok. If you see him, tell him I said thanks." Please go away. I know I said thati wasn't holding any grudges towards anyone this yea but she is SO ANNOYING!

"What? You want me to talk to him? Oh my gosh! What should I say? What if I make a fool out of myself? What if--"

The Quidditch captain took a breath. "What if you don't stop talking and waste our Quidditch practice time and we lose the Quidditch cup?" He managed to pull off a smile with that too. Thank you.

Ginger just looked at him angrily and walked away with a "humph".

At dinner, Cho tried to sit in a spot with a lot of friends where Ginger could not squeeze into to let her talk about Draco. But then Ginger still managed to get a spot near Cho's.

Ginger leaned close to Cho. "Cho! I haven't talked to him yet. What should I say?"

"I don't know. Just don't talk to him."

"Oh. But I want to. But not in a strange way because I don't want to be random and say, 'Hey! Draco! Yea, I delivered the broom to Cho! She said thanks!' That would be kind of strange because you're sitting right here and you can just thank him n--"

Draco had started walking over to the Ravenclaw table. His eyes were staring mostly at Cho with the occasional switch to Ginger.

"Hey Chang. I hope you got your broom. You left it in the dormitory."

"Yeah. Thanks."

Draco walked away and turned around once to look at Cho once more.

Ginger's eyes followed him back to his table. When he sat down, she turned to Cho with a disgusted look.

"I can't believe he didn't even say thank you! He's such a jerk!"

"He's not that bad…I guess just because I'm his roommate and all."

After dinner, Cho went straight to the dormitory to study for her Potions test the next day. She didn't really understand how to create an Elixir of Charm without frog oil. She was reading the passage from the textbook when suddenly there was a huge thunderstorm outside. Cho had always been afraid of thunderstorms; nothing in her childhood scared her…she just was. Cho couldn't concentrate so she left the dormitory and decided to go to the library and study with some friends.

Cho was walking along the hallway, when suddenly someone from behind hugged on tight from behind. She couldn't see who it was because she was so restrained. I bet it's Draco. Wait, these are robes are Ravenclaw colors. The hug had been loosened and Cho took a step away from the stranger and stepped back while turning around at the same time.

"Theoden?" It was her Quidditch captain.

"Yeah haha. Sorry if I scared yo--"

"Oh no you didn't it's ok. It was just strange. That's all." Weirdo…what's wrong with him?

"Yeah, I just wanted to surprise you and…maybe I should have just tapped you on the shoulder or something. Oh yeah. And um…I'm sorry if I seemed a bit rude today out on the field. I just really want to win this year. We'll have other practices and stuff."

"Uh yeah, ok. Was just heading to the library to study for my potions test."

"Okay. Wait! Before you go I want to ask you something. Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?"

"Um…" Cho didn't know what to say. She knew she couldn't go with Draco…they're not an item or anything. But the Yule Ball was how she and Cedric started a relationship. She didn't want to have a relationship again. But then again she would have to find a date any how; and Theoden was a cool guy too when he wasn't so competitive. "Sure! I'll go with you."

"Ok! Great! Um…so I'll see you around?"

"Yeah! Sure!" I should really stop pretending to be excited. It hurts when I try to fight a stiff mouth with a smile.

Theoden nudged Cho's arm with his knuckles and jogged off slowly down the hall. Cho was getting tired so she went back up to the dormitory to get some rest. I guess I'll just study tomorrow then. Or I could just copy from Ginger's paper when I'm stuck on a question. When she got back Draco was studying too, probably for potions too.

"Hey Draco! Guess what? I got asked to the Yule Ball."

"You did? I thought guys were still scared of you after you've been moping about Cedric so much."

"I haven't been moping for a long time as a matter of fact. Well, anyways, I got asked by Theoden, my Quidditch captain."

"That's great. I didn't know he went to dances. All he does is play Quidditch and work out. And maybe once he studies for tests." It was amazing how Draco stopped studying and actually listened to Cho.

"Ha ha ha. Ok. Whatever. Have you asked anyone yet?"

"Well, it's sort of weird. I got asked by someone."

"Oh yeah? Who?"

"Ginger."
