[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: Well, after the long week in Italy I'm back online. This chapter will lead to Cho's decision on who she likes! I hope it isn't too cheesy or anything….Thanks for reading again. Hope you enjoy.

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

Cutechic767- Thanks for the fun time in Italy. I hope this chapter is to your liking!

Charlesisjustreading- Well, I don't know if I should tell if it's going to be a Cho/Draco or a Cho/Zanjoe, but I do know which one it is….Keep reading. Thanks for the review.

Asian-Ravenclaw-Girl- It's great that you like it. Please continue to read.

'You're Welcome' Gift

Draco's P.O.V.

I woke up earlier than usual to avoid Pansy in the common-room. I went straight to the boy's bathroom and too scissors out of my bathrobe pocket I had stuffed in there earlier. I was going to but my hair, just as Cho suggested. I was under a spell, and everything she likes I have to do. My hair fell to the floor in bunches. At first, I cut off anything my hands got a hold of, but as the bunch thinned I began to style. My hair turned out messy, but charming. I changed into my class robes, and burned the waste with the flick of my wand.

I fastened my belt and hurried out the bathroom. I grabbed my Transfiguration book and went out the common-room. In the Great Hall, there were many first and second huddled in their groups by their tables. Surprisingly, the younger students woke up earlier than the older. I saw Cho at the front end of the Ravenclaw table. Her head was buried in her arms. I approached her, but she didn't lift her head. I planned on placing an arm around her. Instead I sat down. If she lifted her head, I hoped she'd notice my hair.

"Cho Chang, the extra-ordinary girl in Ravenclaw, who's famous for her mysterious smile that never fades…" she lifted her head.

"Were you crying?" I asked sarcastically.

She giggled and wiped her tear stained face. I wanted to wipe them for her, but something held me back. As she wiped tears on her cheeks, new ones came back down. Finally, she gave up and let them run.

"Cho, what's wrong?" I reached into my pocket for my handkerchief. It was my silky emerald one. I handed it to her. She used it. I didn't mind. I was going to give it to her anyway.

Finally she spoke to me, "I –I think Zanjoe…"

She stopped sobbing and gasped. She placed a hand over mouth and pointed at my hair. "You –you…"

"Yeah, I took you advice. Does it look nice?" I ran my hand through my hair.

She giggled. Her smile came back. Her cheeks were rose again. The sight made me smile. No, not smirk. Smile.

"It's funny," she started to laugh. Her face was dry of tears.

I frowned and said, "So…you don't like it?"

She continued to giggle, "No, no…It's just you look –remind me of my first crush."

"Crush, eh?" I put my elbow on the table and winked at her. I acted like I was flirting with her. Well, not exactly 'acting.'

"Yes, crush…" she looked deep into her eyes and me into hers. I wish that stare didn't end, but it did. She looked into mid-air. "He had short blonde hair that he always gel-ed up like porcupine quills. That was his nickname: Porcupine."

I laughed, "Porcupine?"

"Yeah, he had these gorgeous sky blue eyes I'd always get lost in."

"Wait –you? Cho Chang? Gets lost? Didn't you have a map?"

We both laughed.

"Draco, that was so corny."

"Yeah, but you laughed."

She sighed, "I did, didn't I?" Draco…Thanks."

"For what?"

"Saving me, twice actually."

"Twice?"

"Yeah, the lake. And now.

"Now?"

"Yeah, I was on the brink of breaking down."

"Really, why?"

"Because, my best friend turns out hating me," tears came back to her eyes.

"Marietta?" I felt stupid not knowing anything.

"No, Zanjoe."

"Him?" I blurted. "Best friend?"

I was ready to insult him in as many ways as possible. I wanted to find him and knock one up his jaw. Yet Cho's soothing voice calmed my temper.

"Yeah, best friend." Cho said calmly. "I thought he was more than a friend, too,"

My muscles tightened at what she said. I felt my heart crack. Damn. She likes him. If so, then why am I still here comforting her?

"H –how about I try to cheer you up?"

"No, Draco…it alright." Teardrops began to fall again.

I don' know why, but I insisted. I didn't want her to be sad. I liked Cho. No…I loved Cho.

"Just count it as a 'You're Welcome' gift. From me, to you. And your 'Thank you' gift. From you, to me."

I stared deeply into her almond eyes. It was like staring into the night sky. Stars sparkled in every direction. I've fallen in love with this girl, and I don't know how to fall out. My head slowly lowered to hers, as I lifted her chin. She didn't resist. We came closer and closer and-

"Draco!" a voice shrieked. It was Pansy.

I quickly stood up, and ran to Pansy. I tried to find an excuse why I was with Cho, why my hair was cut, and why I was in the Great Hall so early. No answers came. As I approached Pansy, she threw questions at me like bludgers in a Quidditch game.

"What the bloody hell was that?" her voice was so loud probably people down in the Slytherin common-room could hear her.

"We –we were just talking about Quidditch," I managed.

"You were about to kiss her!" her eyes watered.

"Pansy!" I hissed, "No, what! I was angry at her. I was about to give her 'Draco poison.' You know what I'm talking about."

Tears fell from her eyes.

"Pansy…no, don't' cry." I hugged her, but didn't mean it. "I'm sorry for making you feel sad. You know the way I am. The wait I deceive girls to get what I want."

"Deceive?" she pulled from my hug. "Me?"

"No!" I cried, "Never you. You and I have been friends forever."

She hugged me tightly and my shirt became wet from her tears. "I'm sorry, Draco."

My arms didn't want to wrap around her, but I forced them to. "It's okay, Pansy. It's okay."

I turned my head to Cho. She was looking my way, her face tearstained as well. I had to stop faking my feelings for Pansy. Damn. Torn between to lovers. Me and Pansy. She loves me, but I love Cho.

Pansy led me to our table, and we sat together. Breakfast seemed to last forever. Pansy talked nonstop about her upcoming winter vacation. My attention was towards Cho. She sat with Marietta. She was extremely quiet. I stole glances at her. At times, my eyes met up with hers. I didn't have any classes with her. I'll miss her beautiful face until tonight. It has to be perfect.

The day passes slowly. Transfiguration, Potions, History. In Occulemancy, Harry and I argues as usual. It was insane how he didn't understand the concept. Snape probably deducted 75 points or more from Gryffindor that period. Finally, Care for Magical Creatures. I didn't care much for the class. I was just there to save Cho from any more danger. I may also steal glances every now and then. I do believe she steals a few herself.

I never noticed her beauty. Her soft, glossy, raven hair; her almond eyes; and her graceful steps. I wonder if she'll ever feel the way I do.

Class began. A scrawny lady stood in the front of the class, since the giant didn't know how to teach the class properly. This lady blabbed nonstop about unicorns. She told us to write a report on a unicorn's habitat for next class. She explained the information was on page 117. I was just glad Cho was safe from any mishaps. She was safe from any more encounters with giant chickens or poisonous fish. The only harm that'll come to her is Quidditch. Then the idea hit me. I knew how I was going to begin our date. On a broom! She loves flying, and so do I!

Class was almost over. I ordered Goyle to pass a note to Cho. It reminded her of my 'You're Welcome' gift. It told her to wait for me in her dormitory and I'll pick her up. I have no idea how I'll do that, but I will.

I stole one last glance at Cho before heading to the common-room. I successfully evaded meeting up with Pansy. I went to the boy's dormitory and changed into causal clothing. Baggy denims, light blue long-sleeve Polo, with a beater inside. I splashed some gel into my hair and spiked it. Just like Cho's crush: Porcupine. To keep the other boys' suspicions low, I put my bathrobe over my clothes. Still the wondered about my hair.

"Draco, what's up with your hair?"

I threw a pillow at him, "New look. Like it?"

"Yeah, it's good."

"Trying to show off to some girl?"

I scoffed, "What the bloody hell are you talking about?"

"I –I was just saying… you know."

"No, I don't," I pulled the covers other my body, hoping not to mess my hair, "Go to sleep you buggers."

The lights went out and I waited until I heard snoring. I waited for the right time. The perfect time.

[Old] A/N: What a long chapter! I didn't think it was going to be this long! It was nine pages on paper! Was it worth it? Oh, do you like the date idea with Cho and Draco? Guess! Continue reading and please review!
