Chapter Eleven: Betrayal

The three of them walked away as Cho went into the bathroom, and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She brushed some dirt off her arm. She washed her face, straightened her silver headband, and went out the door of the bathroom. She climbed a sixth staircase and heard murmured voices ahead. She stepped forward and walked down the hall quicker, her heart was racing. She was afraid. The voices were drawing nearer. It was a male voice and a female voice. She couldn't tell who they were. She walked quicker, anxious to see whom the voices belonged, yet afraid of who it might be. She got nearer and the voices were coming from an empty classroom whose door stood ajar. Then the male voice spoke. Cho's eyes widened.

'It can't be Harry!' She thought.

Cho opened the door silently and saw Harry and another girl she didn't know, kissing. Tears flooded to her eyes as she ran out of the room, sobbing down the hall. She ran up the stairs to the seventh floor and when she reached the portrait of the fat lady in the pink dress, she screamed the password at it and ran into the Gryffindor common room. She wasn't watching where she was going and she ran right into Harry.

'How did he get here before me? Apparratated, I bet…' She thought to herself.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked her.

"What do you mean what's wrong?!! You know what's wrong!" Cho yelled at him.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, both puzzled and concerned.

"Don't you play dumb with me!!! You know what the bloody hell is wrong!!!"

"No I don't…come, let's just sit down, and you can tell me what's wrong…you just need to calm down…" Harry said softly, trying to steer her into a chair.

"Don't touch me!!! And calm down???!!!! Are you insane?!!" Cho asked him, her voice growing shriller.

Cho raised her hand and slapped him hard. A spot on his face started to turn red.

"What are you talking about????!!!!" Harry asked, straining to keep his voice calm.

"How could you do this to me????!!!! On my birthday!!!! And quit playing the stupid act, alright??!!!" Cho snapped.

"Do what???!!!!" Harry yelled.

"YOU CHEATED ON ME!!!!! YOU KNOW IT!!!!! SO STOP IT!!!!! IT OVER, ALRIGHT???!!!!! OVER!!!!!!!!" Cho shrieked.

Cho ran up the spiral staircase and opened the girls dormitory door and slammed it shut.

"What?!" Harry mouthed, as it finally sunk in.

'I didn't do anything!' Harry thought.

He ran up the spiral staircase and started hammering on the girls dormitory door.

"CHO!!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!! I'M SERIOUS!!!!! JUST COME OUT HERE SO WE CAN TALK!!!!" Harry yelled through the door.

"GO AWAY!!!!!" Cho's voice screamed back.

Harry pounded on the door again.

"Fuck!" Harry muttered.

Harry now mad that Cho wouldn't talk to him, he yelled through the girls dormitory door.

"IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU'RE GOING TO BE, THEN FINE WITH ME!!!!"

"FINE!!!!!!!" Cho voice screeched.

Harry walked over to the boys' dormitory door and slammed it shut. Ron came in.

"Hey there Harry…uhhh…" Ron tried to say.

"What do you want?" Harry snarled.

"Did you…cheat on her?" Ron asked nervously.

"No of course not! I was with you and Hermione the entire walk back to the common room!" Harry shouted angrily. "I can't be in two places at once!!!!"

"I know that! And don't yell at me! You know what mate, I think someone set you up…" Ron said, scratching his chin.

"I reckon you're right…" Harry said, starting to cool off.

"But who would've set you up this bad?" Ron asked.

"Someone who is jealous of Cho…it has to be someone…but who…they had to be using a Polyjuice Potion…and it had to be a Gryffindor…that would be the only way they could get my hair…but everyone here are my friends…unless there's someone here who hates me just as much as the Slytherins do…this person must've been in here when I wasn't, taken some of my hair, then given it to this Slytherin who used it in the Potion, became me then made sure that Cho would walk in and see that it was me when it wasn't…I feel awful…and she fell for this hoax…now she hates me…" Harry said, rubbing the spot where Cho had slapped him.

"That must've hurt, didn't it?" Ron asked.

"What? The blow itself or Cho telling me in different words 'You cheated on me, I hate you, get out of my life!' So which one?" Harry said.

"Both…I'm sorry Harry…Hey! I think I know who was doing you in! Malfoy! Remember on the train, he kissed Cho? Maybe he doesn't like Alyssia and he wants Cho, so he was trying to force you both out of love, then he could have Cho to himself!" Ron said suddenly.

"That's a good possibility, Ron. We're going to have to do some investigating…" Harry replied.

In the girls' dormitory…

Cho was fuming on her bed. Cianna walked in.

"I came in just after just got in. And Cho, I am so sorry! I can't believe it! Harry cheat on you? I mean any guy to have you is lucky! Cho, I can see it through your eyes, you need to cry. But you're holding back. Just let it all out. I'll be here, I'll listen. I'll be your shoulder to cry on." Cianna said, sitting next to Cho.

Cianna gave Cho a sisterly hug, and tears streamed down Cho's face, making the back of Cianna's dress robes wet.

"I just c-can't believe h-he'd do this to me!" Cho sobbed.

"Shhh…it's alright, it's okay, just let it all out…" Cianna cooed.

Cho cried some more and released Cianna from the hug. Cianna sat behind Cho, taking Cho's silver and black hair and braiding it.

"Your hair is limp and frail…it's like it hasn't been properly nourished for days…" Cianna said notably.

"My hair changes with my mood. If I'm mad, it turns red, and so do my eyes. I'll bet my eyes are blue like yours…I have this sort of thing in my blood and I can do that…" Cho said.

"Interesting…I wonder if your eyes are blue…look up, toward the light…" Cianna instructed.

Cho looked up at the light in the dormitory. Cianna had stepped in front of her.

"Cool! They are! That's really neat! Anyway, I should finish braiding your hair…" Cianna said, sitting behind Cho again, finishing the plait going down her back.

"Cianna, you really are a true friend. Thanks for being here. The healing process should be easier now. You're like another sister to me, you know. One that is my age, knows all my problems and sees life in my eyes. Would you be my sister?" Cho asked.

"Consider me Cianna Chang…" Cianna said smiling.

Cho smiled and yawned.

"Oh gosh! It's getting late, we should really be getting to bed…so let's just change out of our dress robes and put on our nightgowns." Cianna suggested.

Akira burst into the dormitory.

"I just heard. I'm so sorry!" Akira said.

"Thanks…Cianna's our new sister, now…she's just helped me get over this and help me back on my feet. So say hi to Cianna Chang…" Cho said still smiling.

"Hello new sister! We'll be ever so happy to have you in our family. And you may call me 'Aki' instead of Akira since you are family now." Akira said smiling brightly.

"Well we were just about to head off to bed…you should get some rest, Aki." Cianna said.

"Will do!" Akira said, walking out the door and going down the stairs to the fifth year's dormitory.

Cho took off her dress robes and slipped on a white long sleeve silk nightdress. Cianna took off her robes too and put on a pale yellow short sleeve silken nightgown. Both of them crawled into their beds and under their covers.

"Goodnight, Cho." Cianna said.

"Goodnight, Cianna." Cho said.

The next day Cho woke up on a bright November morning. She got dressed and went downstairs. She promptly went back upstairs after seeing who occupied the common room. Cianna awoke yawning.

"Why'd you come back up?" Cianna asked.

"Because he's down there." Cho said, slightly mad. Her brown eyes turned blue again.

"Oh…well, you, me, and Aki will come with you downstairs and we'll go everywhere with you…well, when we can…" Cianna said.

"Thanks." Cho said.

Cianna got dressed and just as she had finished brushing her teeth, Akira walked into the dormitory.

"I heard from Hermione that H-a-r-r-y is waiting for you…he wants to tell you something, imagine that!" Akira said sarcastically.

"We'll refer to him as evil one." Cianna said, putting on her robes.

"Yeah, that sounds good." Cho and Akira agreed.

Cianna pulled on her shoes and tossed her hair. Cho's eyes were still blue, an ocean blue, and Akira's were blue also. A cold icy blue. The three sisters walked down the stairs to the door that led to the spiral staircase that led down to the common room. They opened to girls' dormitory door and descended the steps to the common room. Harry was sitting in an armchair talking to Ron. Ron raised his eyebrows and Harry looked behind the chair he was sitting in. He saw Cho, Akira, and Cianna reach the foot of the spiral staircase. He rushed over to them.

"Cho. I need to talk to you." Harry said politely.

"Cianna, Aki, do you hear anything?" Cho asked coldly, her eyes turning purple, for her sadness and anger mixed.

Akira and Cianna shook their heads and they all walked out the portrait hole to go to breakfast.

"I don't believe it!" Harry said angrily.

"What?" asked Ron.

"She's not even going to let me explain. She's ignoring me on purpose. And even Akira's against me now! They've formed their own little club…" Harry replied, still mad.

"Well mate, Hermione and I are here for you." Ron said.

"Thanks Ron. We should go down to breakfast." Harry said.

"Yes, we really should or else we'll be late." Hermione's voice sounded behind Harry.

The trio went out the portrait hole and headed to the Great Hall. They took their usual seats, which happened to be near Akira, Cho, and Cianna. Akira was talking animatedly to Liam and was attempting to spoon honey onto her porridge, but missed and spilled it on her lap.

"Ooh! I just washed these!" Akira complained.

She took out her wand and the honey disappeared and reappeared on her porridge. Cho was talking to Cianna, Hermione, and Ron, in a normal way.

"Hermione, please tell evil one to pass the sugar bowl." Cho said.

"Evil one?" Hermione asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.

"Him." Cho answered, gesturing towards Harry.

"Oh! Sorry…Hey, Harry, pass Cho the sugar bowl." Hermione said.

"Yeah I heard. You know Cho, you can stop ignoring me. It's really annoying. And you can call me by my name…" Harry said coldly.

He shoved the sugar bowl towards Cho.

"Well…Harry I'm not going to stop ignoring you…and you'll never be forgiven…" Cho said softly.

"Sister, why are you speaking to him? We promised we'd never make any verbal or physical contact with him." Cianna said.

"He made me answer, Sister." Cho replied.

"I see." Cianna said.

"Cho just listen to me, I don't know what you saw last night, but it wasn't me. I walked with Ron and Hermione the whole way to Gryffindor Tower. I had been in the common room for at least five minutes when you ran in! You have to believe me! You know I would never lie to you!" Harry said, making an emotional attempt to bring Cho back into his life.

Harry was staring at Cho. Cho was staring back. Then Harry saw it. If he had blinked, he would have missed it. The old warmth in her eyes whenever she saw him had replaced the new coldness. It lingered for a second.

'I…I…I believe you…not.' Cho said through telepathy.

Harry knew otherwise. She did believe him. Cho had realized that the warmth in her eyes had returned, so she looked away, the coldness glazing over.

Cho knew she couldn't stay mad at him forever…eventually she'd have to get over it…she wanted to believe what Harry had said, but she couldn't believe it. She wouldn't believe it. She turned back to her breakfast and ate her eggs and toast, sipping her tea as she read the 'Daily Prophet'.
