[New] A/N: This is an old story from an older account that I'm just trying to review and revive. I don't plan on changing the plot -just some grammar issues. It was one of my first fanfics. Btw, I plan on shipping the same couple in my next story as in this one. ;D

[Old] A/N: Sorry if I've been only exchanging Cho and Zanjoe's views. My next chapter is going to be somebody else's view. I'm not sure who, though. Please give you opinion for this fic. Cho/Zanjoe or Cho/Draco? BTW hold on to your seat, because this story is pretty long!

Disclaimer: All credit, but my Zanjoe character and this silly plot, goes to J.K. Rowling.

Raven55-Thanks for the review! If you don't read much Cho/Draco fics I know a few that you can read! I really like that ship, and just message me and I'll show you some! I do try to keep somewhat detailed at times, so I include minor characters just as Anthony, since he's in Ravenclaw!

Charcharchar-Thanks for commenting on my 'new school system.' I needed approval on that! I really do like your story as well. I'll try to keep updated on yours. Please keep updated on mine.

Cutechic767- Hi! Well, I'm going to be seeing you in a few days, right? Well I hope we'll have fun at the camp! The story? It's good that you like it so far. I'm going to try to type chapters up before I leave, other than that I just want to thank you for reading and reviewing!

End of the Day

Cho's P.O.V

Transfiguration. Potions. History of Magic. So far, nothing interesting has happen to my day. I just learned how to create an effective healing potion with common herbs. It should be useful, but I don't know if I'd ever be stuck in a forest at the brink of death.

The end of the day finally came. Care for Magical Creatures taught by Hagrid. He's awesome. This is one of my favorite classes. One because Hagrid is so kind, and two because all my friends are in this class.

I walked down the hill towards Hagrid's house. Marietta was already seated reading her book. This year's book wasn't alive, due to last year's 'Neville incident.'

"Cho!" Marietta waved to me. "Cho, over here!"

I walked over to her. She greeted me with a hug.

"So how'd your day go?" I asked.

"Horrible! In first period, Ravenclaw lost 50 points in Potions," she slammed her book closed.

"Why?" I cried.

"Some girl dropped a jar of beetle eyes. Snape didn't release us until every single shard of glass was in the trash."

I giggled at her story. "You make it seem as if you were suffering for many years."

She sighed, "It felt like it.

After that, Hagrid came out of his house. I saw Ron and Hermione in the front of the crowd. Zanjoe was with Anthony in the middle of the crowd. Draco and his 'side-kicks' were in the back right-hand corner. Hagrid began his class.

"Have you guys ever heard of the mermaid?"

Some nodded. Some grunted. Some said yes.

"Well, have you seen a baby mermaid or merman?"

This stirred the crowd. I haven't heard of a baby mermaid or merman. Marietta was also surprised. Even Draco's smirk turned slightly to a grin. I smiled at his expression.

"Since you guys seem interested, let's go to the lake." Hagrid led the class to the lake.

We gathered around the side of the lake. Marietta and I were at the edge of the lake. Zanjoe and Anthony came up to us. Ron and Hermione were near Hagrid. Where's Harry? Then I saw, Draco and his crew were on the opposite crowd from me. Hagrid took a net from a rack, and swept it across the lake. He held a fish. It was as big as a carp, and had the torso of a human. Its teeth were sharp, but instead of arms it had fins. It was disgusting. Zanjoe and a lot of others thought it was cool.

"She's a beaut, ain't she?" Hagrid asked the class. "Today you'll learn how to know a boy baby merman from a baby girl. See, a girl has sharper teeth than boys'. And boy's tails are horizontal. Girls are vertical. Now grab a net. There should be enough for everyone, and catch you yourself a little fish.

The nets were on the deck. I tried to reach for one.

"Careful, they bite." Hagrid added.

I kept reaching for a net, but everyone was in the way. Suddenly, somebody pushed me from behind. I made a splash as I hit the water. I struggled to stay above water, and I gasped for air every time I was above the water. I tried repeatedly to swim to the top, but something was dragging me down. I attempted to swim upwards, but I just went down. I slowly blacked out as I felt water seeping into my nose. My mind went black. I was positive I was going to die.

I heard muffled voices, but saw nobody. Some were calm, some worried.

"She's going to be fine, Marie."

"Is she really, Madame Pomfrey?" someone's hand gently stroked my hair. "Cho, please come back."

"Ms. Edgecombe, she'll be fine. She just needs rest. Too much has happened today."

"Cho, get well." Marietta held my hand.

"Come on, Marietta." Somebody said, "Let's give her some rest."

"Yes, Mr. Rodriguez. That's all she needs."

"Okay Zanjoe, let's go." Marietta patted my hand.

"Bye, Cho," Zanjoe also held my hand.

After that, I heard doors close.

"Do get some rest, Ms. Chang." I heard Madame Pomfrey say.

My mind went to rest.

"Cho?" a voice awakened me. "If you can hear me, me and Ron just wanted to say hi."

"Uh, Cho –Harry, uh…he bought you some flowers. Lilies. They didn't have roses."

"Yeah, we told him you liked roses."

"If you're wondering where he is, he's in detention. Snape got to him the period before Hagrid's."

Hermione held my hand, "Get well, Cho."

The doors closed again. I slept again.

"Ms. Chang? I'm sorry to disturb you sleep, but it's time to drink your medicine. Its 9 in the evening." Madame Pomfrey's arm cradled my head as a glass touched my mouth. Some disgusting liquid filled my mouth and down my throat. "If they had gotten you here sooner, you'd be well by now. I heard you nearly reached the bottom of the lake. Thank goodness, Mr. Malfoy swam to your aid. You're very fortunate you have friends like Mr. Rodriguez and Ms. Edgecombe who visit you. I do hope come back, Ms. Chang. It's been quite some time since the accident. But, goodnight. It quite late."

I heard Madame Pomfrey's office door shut and it was quite again. Is it really still the first day of school? Why did Draco rescue me? Of all people I know, Draco Malfoy rescues me. If he did save me, why hasn't he visited me yet? Was I just merely asleep when he came? My train of thoughts was interrupted by footsteps. They came closer. It was strange, because I didn't hear any doors open. I felt the warmth of person by my bedside. I heard the crumpling of plastic.

"Hey, Cho," it was Draco. "It's me Draco. I brought you your favorites: roses. Light blue with a tint of purple and indigo at the tips. Just like the sky after a sunset. Just like your favorite time of the day."

I heard him place the flower on the dresser next to my bed. I wanted to say something, but didn't have strength enough.

"I –I probably should have been first to come here, since I was the one who rescued, if you want to call it that. I was the one who rescued you. But I –I uh…" he sighed.

I wondered why he didn't visit earlier. Why did he even save me? Why didn't somebody else help me? Draco and I did have some good times together. Parties at his house, parties at mine. His mom and my mom were best of friends. I'm not sure about our dad's though. I still don't understand, why of all people, did he save me?

"You're probably wondering a lot of stuff right now. If you can hear me I'll try to explain," he coughed gently. "Some idiot pushed from behind, then Potter jumped in after you. He didn't get very far because the baby mermaids kept pulling his back to the surface. It was pretty funny actually."

He laughed. I haven't heard his laugh since we were younger. I missed it. I wanted to see his smile. I wanted to see his face without his evil smirk.

"Then that new kid, Rodriguez, I think. He dove in just as I did. I believe Potter gave up. The babies were hissing at him even if he just glanced at them." He continued. It was like story-time. "I would have gotten to you sooner if Rodriguez wouldn't have slowed me down. Plus the bloody oaf, Hagrid, didn't tell us there adult mermaids in that section of the lake. They took you and Rodriguez to deeper into the lake. I cast a spell on Rodriguez's captors. He swam to the surface. So did I. If he wasn't there causing too much trouble, I would've gotten you up to the surface earlier. I don't know why I even helped him.

"I told him to not go back down, since he didn't know hell about mermaids. As stupid as I thought he was, he listened. I placed a bubble spell around me head and swam for you. You're welcome, by the way. You can thank me later. I also hope you get well soon."

There was a long moment of silence. Then I felt a hand on my hand. I also felt his fingers run gently through my hair. They were warm, unlike how I imagined them: cold. They were so soft, too. I didn't know how gently he could touch. I always thought he didn't know how be caring, but he did.

"Cho…" he inhaled deeply, "I –I…uh…."

Doors crashed open.

"Hello? Anybody there?" Madame Pomfrey called.

Draco's hands were gone. I only heard doors opening and closing. Then hurried footsteps coming closer. A cold, wrinkled hand touched my forehead.

"Oh dear, who was here?" Madame Pomfrey wondered aloud. "Oh my."

She then took her hand from my head and I heard doors open and close. As she left I manage to utter, not a word, but a name,

"Draco."
