A/N: I don't own any of Harry Potter characters…J.K. Rowling does….and some Warner Brothers people.

Chapter NINE

My God, I can't believe those two! Using me as a bet! I feel so...used. I was once again a competition for boys. Do people even like me? Do they just want me to like them so that they look good or something? What the heck is wrong with the world!

The door closed lightly and Draco walked in. Cho was too angry for tears so she just glared at Draco. Draco stared at her with puppy eyes and sat down on the couch.

"You know, I left Ginger there all by hersel--" Cho interupted Draco.

"How could you Draco? Why did you make that bet?"

"Well, it's what we Slytherins do" Draco said confidently. Oh please.

"Don't give me that Slytherin crap again. You Slytherins aren't better than any of us. In fact you guys are the worst. Why did you make that bet with Theoden?"

"I-I-I thought I could..."

"You could what?"

"I thought I would win. Well, I kinda knew I would win. I'm being completely honest here."

"Well, why me? Out of all the girls at Hogwarts, you guys picked me. I'm not some sort of...of...sex toy or something you know!"

"Well, I wouldn't say th--"

"Shut up! When did you make this bet?"

"Well, remember on the train, when you just left me hanging in my cabin? Theoden saw you walk out and then he decided to see who was inside. He saw me and told me I would never have a chance with you. I told him that I could make any girl want me. And he decided to have the bet."

"Huh..that's it?"

"Yes, it's the truth O.K.? And then I found you again and so on and so forth and I made our bet because it would help me win my bet with Theoden."

"What would you have gotten if you had won?"

"I would get you and he would have to quit his position on his Quidditch team."

"And him?"

"Same exact thing."

"I see. But what if I had won our bet and you would've yours with Theoden, you wouldn't have me as a girlfriend."

"True, but I thought I was going to win both."

"Mmmhmm..."

"So...what else do you want to know?"

"No, nothing. That's all."

"No more lectures?"

Cho got up and walked towards the couch and sat down on Draco's lap. He looked at her with a confused look for once and she kissed him. He let her do all the kissing at first until he felt her tongue in his mouth and wanted to entangle it with his. Cho broke away.

"No, but our bet is still on."

"What?"

"Yeah. If you win both, then congratulations, you get it all your way. If I win, you'll win too but I won't be your girlfriend and you'll still have to sit with Potter and friends."

"So if you win, I'll really get nothing at all."

"No you still have Theoden's resignation from the Quidditch team. And I'll be there to tell Theoden that you have won."

"Ugh, fine."

"O.K. Well I'm going back to the ball." said Cho like nothing had happened.

"Even after what happened?" Draco was stunned.

"Oh yeah, I'm always up for mind games."
