[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 the title is cheesy again. Well, Cho's at home and its Christmas night! Ironically, she's sad because she misses her friends back at Hogwarts. I hope you like it.

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

Missing Hogwarts

Cho's P.O.V.

"Darling, please hurry," mother called from down the hall, "the party is almost over!"

"I'm coming!" I answered. I brushed my hair one more time and fixed it into a ponytail with the hair-tie I received from Marietta for Christmas. I gave her a bracelet with the letters 'BFFAE' and her name engraved on it. It stood for 'Best Friends Forever And Ever.' I wore one, too, but with my name on it. No matter what happens between us two, we'll stay best friends. As, I reached into my jewelry box for a necklace to wear, I knocked over a messily wrapped blue box. It was Zanjoe's present. I'd almost forgotten about it. Quickly, I opened it. It was a silver heart pendant with a small blue sapphire heart in the middle. I was about to put it on, when I remembered another present. It sat on my bed, waiting to be opened, along with a Howler. I was hoping it wasn't from any of my relatives. Hesitantly, I opened the Howler first.

"Hey, Cho," Draco's voice came from the floating envelope. "I –uh…Well this gift is for you, obviously and uh…Well now that you've opened the Howler you're allowed to open the present. Lame Howler, huh?"

I giggled.

It continued. "I just wanted you to know that –well this present means a lot to me, and I hope it does to you, too. I mean I had to ask my mother to cover me from father as I withdrew large sums to buy this. I'm not saying it's a bad thing…um…I'm just trying to say. I did what I did for you, I hope you appreciate that."

Then the Howler folder neatly and disappeared. I held the present in my hands and began to tear the wrapping off. In the small parcel was a smaller box. It was possibly a necklace or bracelet. I took the top off the box and found a silver ring. It had a blue jewels on it. On one side the word 'Truth' was engraved; and on the other side 'Love' was engraved on it. It was beautiful. I quickly put it on.

"Cho!" my mother called again.

I looked in the mirror, surprised to see a smile. I've been crying since morning. I missed Draco, Zanjoe, and Marietta so much. I knew I had to go through this night. It's only a matter of days until I go back to Hogwarts.

"Cho Chang! Please hurry down to the party." I heard her footsteps climb the stairs.

"Mother, I'm coming!"

As I walked down the fall way, I saw a beautiful lady in a dark blue, silky dress. She resembled me or more like I resembled her. My eyes, my lips, my nose, my body came from her. All except for her curls that went down to her shoulders. My hair was from my father. Straight and black. All of us had a natural tint of blue in our black hair, showing our ironic placement in Ravenclaw.

Mother gripped my shoulders lightly, and looked at me in the eye. I hope she didn't notice that I'd been crying. I hoped my last minute eye-shadow hid the look.

"My, my…don't we look gorgeous." She slowly turned me around. I was wearing a light blue dress, which reached to my toes. The top was crosshatching and it straightened as it went down. Even though my mother bought it, I found it to my liking.

"Come on, darling, you wouldn't want to miss the great party downstairs." Her smile was twice as pretty as mine.

"Of course, mum. I was just doing my best to look perfect." I said leading the way.

She stopped and laughed. I loved her laugh. "Darling, darling, darling. You always look perfect to me. Maybe some guy in your school thinks you're perfect as well." She took off my ponytail, and fixed it without the help from a brush.

We then went downstairs. Everyone in the Ministry was there. Every single member. There were also a few family friends. Surprisingly, Mr. Lucius Malfoy attended this year's party. Usually it was only Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy who came to our parties.

I remained still near a window. I looked up into the night sky, and I thought about my friends. I hoped they were also thinking about me. I hoped they wished I was with them, or they were with me.

"Don't worry, whoever it is, he's thinking of you, too." I turned around. It was Mrs. Malfoy.

"It's not just the guy, Mrs. Malfoy." I giggled. I trusted her a lot.

"I see," she led me to her table. "Tell me about it."

"I just miss my friends," I lied.

She saw through me, "Cho, it's not just you friends. Who's this guy?"

I sighed, "I like him, but I'm not completely sure. It's like I like him as a friend, but then at times I like him more. Then at times I hate him, and like another. Do you understand?"

"Well, Marietta will always be there for you. So whoever this guy is, I hope he doesn't get in the way of your friendship."

"Yeah, she does like Zanjoe…"

"Oh, so you like the new 6th year."

"Yeah, how'd you know about Zanjoe?"

"Draco has told me a few things about him.

"Oh…" I didn't know Draco and his mother were close. Silence fell upon us. I think she knew about Draco saving my life from the mermaids. Now I felt terribly uncomfortable. The silence was finally broken as Mr. Malfoy entered the scene.

"Good evening, Ms. Chang." He sat by Mrs. Malfoy. "Lovely party, I must say. I'll try to bring in Draco next year. At least you'll have some company next year."

"Oh Lucius, stop it," Mrs. Malfoy gently slapped his thigh.

"Just a joke, dearest." He smiled, "Well, I'll be 'mingling' if you want me."

He rose and went to a large group of people. Even if Mr. Malfoy was hard and cold at times, he shared a true love with Mrs. Malfoy. I envied them. A lot.

"Cho, I know you miss your friends, and Zanjoe, but please try to enjoy. Your parents are a bit worried, especially your mother."

I laughed. "I'll try."

"Don't worry; if this Zanjoe character is really supposed to be yours, then he'll confront you with it."

"But you see, Mrs. Malfoy –I"

"Please, call me Narcissa. I hate having great personal conversation with you and being called as if I were just an acquaintance."

"Oh…Narcissa…I'm not so certain I am in love 'love' with Zanjoe. It maybe another guy, but Zanjoe is in the way. I mean he's my close friend and all."

"Who, may I ask, may this other guy be?"

"I seriously don't know…" I sighed. I knew it may have been Draco, but I was talking to his mother. It would be terribly embarrassing to ask love problems with the guy's mother.

"Cho," she placed a hand on mine, "when it comes to love, your heart makes the decisions, not your mind. Don't block any ideas your heart shoots to your mind. I mean a guy could do horrible stuff, but if you know him well and love him you can't do anything about it."

The band began to play my favorite song acoustically. My father walked towards me and held his hand out,

"May I have this dance?"

I looked at Narcissa. She nodded. I took my father's hand and we danced together.

"Enjoying?"

"Yes," I lied. Again, somebody saw through me.

"Liar," he chuckled, "I can see it in your eyes."

I giggled as he twirled me. "Don't worry. I feel much better than this morning."

"Okay," we swayed to the music. "If it's about Cedric, don't…"

"Cedric's gone, dad. Please, I've managed to move on."

"I'm sorry; I just thought you and Mrs. Malfoy would be talking about him. Since she did console you when Cedric left, as well as you mother."

"Dad…"

"Cho, listen…It's just –your mother and I…Cho, we worry a lot. We love you."

I looked at his pained face. I smiled to console him, "I know, dad. I love you, too. You and mother. I've moved on, I promise. It's not Cedric anymore."

He smiled back, "We'll support you in everything. As long as you're happy. But when it comes to guys, please try not to get hurt."

"I'll try, dad. I'll try." I hugged him and we stood still in the middle of the dance floor.

[Old] A/N: Cheesy, right? Well, her father loves her, her mother loves her, and Narcissa loves her. BUT who's the guy who loves her more? Check the title: 'To Love You More.' Who's this guy who loves her more than anything? Ha ha ha. I mean right now, it seems she likes Zanjoe, right? Oh well…well hope you review and continue to read.

BTW, after I post all of the chapters I'll be taking a quick break (probably a week or so) and freshen my mind up with new ideas. THEN I'll begin my new Original Fiction: 'Innocent Lovers.' It'll be up on my link is on my account. Thankies in advance for those who'll read and review this upcoming story.

[New] A/N: If you guys are interested, 'Innocent Lovers: Puppy Love' is up on my fictionpress account. Link on my profile. :)
