4-MY BEST 3:00
"Though it didn't work out
I don't love you any less
My lover or friend
I won't ever tell
Our secrets safe
An unspoken citadel
And in these broken times
Well, it's so easy to forget
So I sing to remind
Upon my shoulder you can rest
'Cause I'll always give you my best"
It was the second time in less than one hour that her heart gave a leap.
She's just apparated at the Hog's Head and found herself face to face the three suspicious faces of Fred, George and Ginny Weasley. The three red heads were accompanied by Lee Jordan who seemed quite embarrassed by the whole situation.
Of course, they were bound to be there. Ginny was Harry's girlfriend, Fred and George his friends and the three of them siblings to Ron Weasley. But she, Cho Chang, what were her reasons?
"Hi," she said awkwardly.
"Hello," the others replied swiftly before Aberforth rushed them all through the portrait of the blond little girl.
Her heart beat fast as she traversed the dark passageway, knowing that he was on the other side and knowing that she was about to enter battle. But him being there was the reason why she received Neville's message and going into battle was the reason why she entered the D.A in the first place. This was it.
When she emerged, she couldn't help but feel amused to see his slaked jaw, but she quickly sobered up. Harry didn't look good: too pale, too thin, with burnt and dirty clothes.
"I got the message," she said in false calm and joined Michael.
More than once, she caught him looking her way but she was smart enough to admit that there was nothing romantic in it. Still, every time he did, her heart jumped. Stupid heart.
Thus, when talk about Ravenclaw's lost diadem emerged and though she didn't think they'd retrieve it, she volunteered to take Harry to Ravenclaw tower but Ginny crushed all her hopes.
She watched as he left with Luna and realized that he didn't know, didn't realize how much she was still pinning for him.
