[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: Pansy's involved in this story. Yeah, it took me by surprise as well! Okies, well, all four friends are on the train to London. Yeah, Zanjoe, Draco, Marietta, and Cho have all made amends! So now, they're going SHOPPING! For their Valentine's attire of course, and I forgot to clear up that only 5th years and above are attending the ball, or else the Great Hall would be totally packed! So yeah…. I hope to get readers as well as reviewers!

Charlesisjustreading- Um…Well, not really. Zanjoe was just going out with Marietta so he can TRY to get Cho off of his mind, which didn't succeed! Thanks for the review!

101- Yeah, Zanjoe was just engulfed by a large monster called 'Jealousy.' BTW! Quick Spoiler for this chapter: Zanjoe wasn't working alone! Go on and read!

Cutechic767-Yeah! Zanjoe kissed Cho! Hahaha, I hope you like this coming chapter. It's full of twists and turns. I need to tie the story together!

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

I Care Too Much

Zanjoe's P.O.V.

The Valentine's dance was nearing. Cho and Draco were going together. I was escorting Marietta as a friend. Today, sixth and seventh years are allowed to take the train back to London. We were going to shop for our clothes, since not everybody in Hogwarts brings fancy dresses. Cho, Draco, Marietta and I went as a group. We were close to King's Cross.

"So, what kind of dress are you buying, Cho?" Marietta asked.

"I don't know. Draco and I wanted to match, though."

"I was thinking she'd be wearing a blue dress, and I'll wear a matching tie." Draco informed us.

"I was going to wear a black suit, with no tie or bow." I said.

"Yeah, then I'll wear a white dress of some kind." Mariette smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Sounds great," commented Cho. "I'm not sure what my dress is going to look like, but I want it to be perfect."

"Don't you want 'everything' to be perfect?" I said, adding a hint of sarcasm.

Marietta giggled, "You kind of do, Cho."

She sighed, "I guess I do, sometimes…"

"Sorry, Cho," Draco wrapped an arm around her, "but I have to agree with those two."

Her eyes browed, "Really?" With that she swept her hand across his hair.

He reacted quickly, "Hey! Watch the hair!"

All, but Draco laughed.

He created an imaginary shield with his hands, "Cho, it took me some time to put my hair up like this."

The two girls continued to giggle.

"You know, Draco?" I sighed, "I liked your long hair better. There's less maintenance."

"Yeah, but I cut it for Cho." He smiled at her. She smiled back. I smiled at the scene, and so did Marietta.

There was sudden knock at the door.

"Hello?" a pug-nosed, black haired head popped into the compartment.

"Pansy?" Draco flinched.

"Don't worry; I'm not here for you."

"Who then?" snapped Draco.

"Zanjoe, can I borrow him for a minute?"

"Uh…sure," the girls replied, somewhat awestruck.

I quietly stood up, went out the compartment, and into another.

"So, when do you want to show the video?"

"Don't, just give it to me."

"What? Why not? Cho'll be here, with Draco. She's an assistant to the Muggle Studies. I'm sure she'll drag Draco there, and once they see this movie they'll break up –so…"

"Pansy, no…" I hesitated. "I don't want them to break up. She's happy with Draco. Plus…"

"Zanjoe, I'm not happy. I want Draco. Plus, I thought you said you wanted Cho, right?"

"That was before I noticed how happy they seem to be."

"Yeah, but they're making other people's lives miserable, like mine. Draco's supposed to be mine!" her volume began to rise.

"Shh, okay?" I sighed, "I understand how you feel, but think of what Draco feels. It does look like he really is happy, right? Don't you want to be happy, because he's happy?"

She looked at me, "But…"

"No, buts. If you really care, then you'd want what makes him happy. That's what I want for Cho. I care for her too much to do this to her."

Silently she nodded.

"Thank you. I'm just happy for her even if she's not with me. Please do the same for Draco."

Again, she nodded.

I opened the compartment door, then remembered, "Pansy, can I have the tape please?"

"Fine," she finally spoke, "Get it from me when we get back to Hogwarts tomorrow in the Muggle Studies room."

"Thanks, Pansy." I gave her a curt nod and headed back to Cho and the rest.

They were all laughing.

"What did I miss?" I took my seat.

"No, it's just stupid memories…" Draco continued to laugh.

"Oh, Zanjoe." Marietta placed a hand on my leg, "What did she want you for?"

"Nothing, really. She just heard gossip, and wanted to ask if it was true."

Cho gave me a worried look. She knew I was lying.

"Strange," Draco replied. "Why would she ask you?"

I hesitated, "Uh…the gossip, you see, it was about me."

Cho remained silent, but Marietta asked more questions.

"What was it about?"

"Uh, she asked me if I…uh…asked a Gryffindor to the dance."

"Really? Who'd she think it was?" Draco and Marietta continued to interrogate me.

"The Hermione girl," since she was the only one I knew in Ravenclaw.

"Her?" Marietta gasped, "she's already taken by that Weasley kid, right?"

"Yeah, Ron. Harry's best friend."

"Hey Draco, congrats." I chuckled, attempting to change the subject.

"For what?" he replied. I succeeded.

"You didn't call Ron, or Harry names."

Laughter fell upon our compartment again. Cho came back to life, and the conversations began to flow smoothly. My thoughts were worried about the tape. At first, I agreed with Pansy to break up Cho and Draco. We were going to record Cho with my and show it to Draco. He'll think that Cho has an affair with me, and he'll break up with her. Now, I don't want that happen, because I've noticed that I could never get her as a girlfriend. She looks at me as a friend, and I finally respect that. I'm just hoping Pansy doesn't do anything stupid. I was stupid for even agreeing to do something like this. I don't want Cho to be sad. Especially if the cause was me.

[Old] A/N: HOLY CRAP! Zanjoe teamed with Pansy! Lolz, did I surprise you? I hope Draco doesn't find out, or both Cho and Zanjoe will be in BIG trouble. Or maybe just Zanjoe. Or maybe just Cho. Oh well, who cares (I hope you guys do…) Please keep reading. I only have a few more chapters left to go and I'm finished! Thanks for reviewing.

[New] A/N: I still agree to the afore mentioned. For those who are reading this for the first time –or hundrenth time, even if it's cheesy, it's one of my first stories so I adore it to the max.
