A/N:� Thanks for the recent reviews, I didn�t
expect any really!lol�
To answer your question Salon Kitty, I have read bits of the DSM � IV
because I�m a psych major actually!LOL� B.A. in psychology.� I love writing dark, partly insane, mostly
insane, revengeful, hateful Harry.� The
innate frustration and complexity of his character can make for a good dark
story, or happily fluffy light one.�
That�s why I love writing Harry!� And
the parts of Cho craving sex, I knew exactly what I had to have done to her to
make that happen.� She could have gone
two ways:� Want it all the time, or not
want it all.� Luckily for the story, she
wanted it.� I�m feel bad that his
reasoning wasn�t strong enough in the beginning for you to want to continue at
first.� I guess I should work on that a
bit.� But I�m glad you stayed with it and
everyone as well!� Thanks for that!� As for the HBP thing.� I forgot to put in the beginning of this
story that it will touch some aspects of HBP, but nothing dead on really.� I hope you�ll continue to enjoy it.� This story goes up and down, so be prepared
for a shift.

By the way Salon Kitty,
I just have to say, it seems like you kind of don�t know how to feel about them
anymore.� Should you just feel sorry for
Cho for what�s happened to her and see Harry as a bastard.� Or should you feel sorry for Harry for what
he�s been through, almost forgetting what he�s done to her.� I love doing that in stories, making people
wonder who to really root for!lol�

Chapter 12 �
Sharing Secrets and Breaking Promises

Cho was lost in a dream of eating chocolate ice cream off of
Cormac�s muscular stomach when a familiar, non-food-like scent entered the
kitchen in her dream.� The sleeping girl
opened her eyes to the semi-dark room of her dormitory.� She could see the moonlight shining in
through one of the windows near her roommate�s bed.� But the scent was what had her attention and
Cho sat up to see if she could locate the owner.

The moonlight�s rays extended well passed Patricia�s bed and
were presently decorating Marietta�s
drawn curtains.� At least most of them
were drawn, Cho noticed.� But one was
up.� It hung in a way that seemed as
though someone was holding it open.� But
there was no one there.� However, when
the curtain lifted even further open on Marietta�s
bed, Cho knew exactly where the scent that had woken her up was coming from.

�Harry!� Cho whispered loudly.� The curtain didn�t move from its
position.� �Harry, get over here!� she
attempted again in a loud whisper, looking around to make sure her roommates
hadn�t stirred from the noise.�

Finally, the curtain lowered on Marietta�s bed.� Cho began to pull her own down, as a presence
kneeled on her bed, and pulled the last hanging down as well.� Cho flicked her wand, putting a silencing
charm on her bed, knowing she�ll need it for the yelling she was about to do,
and the sex that would follow.� Not
wanting to waste any time, Cho began unbuttoning her pajama top when Harry�s
pulled the cloak off of himself.� She
also wasted no time in yelling at him for his actions as he sat next to her on
the bed and began helping her with her top.

�First of all, Harry, why are you here?� It�s Sunday, isn�t it?� Cho said, as Harry
began placing light, but long kisses on her temple and cheek.

�Mmmm,� he moaned on her skin, still unbuttoning her shirt
with one hand.� �I just wanted to get a
head start on our Monday, Love,� Harry said into her hair.�

Having freed the last button on her top, Harry�s hand
traveled inside and began massaging her bare breast.� Cho�s breath caught in her throat as his
calloused hands molested her sensitive tip, but she wasn�t going to forget what
she had just witnessed.� He wasn�t making
it easy for the Ravenclaw, however, as his lips caught her earlobe, and then
proceeded down her neck.� Beyond her
control, Cho arched her back pushing her breast even more so into his hand,
aching for it to lower into the panties she wore that she would have discarded
by morning for him.

�Mmm,� she now moaned as she bit her lip.� The seventh year hated how easily she melted
in his hands sometimes�most of the time.�
Then again, she knew she had the same power over him, if not
stronger.� As his tongue began to lick
the column of her neck, Cho wanted to lay back and enjoy being taken in her bed
in the middle of the night for the umpteenth time.� But she couldn�t�yet at least, she still had
a matter to discuss.� �Harry�� she said
breathlessly.

�Ready, Love?� he whispered in her ear, his hand beginning
the decent down her torso and heading straight for her moistened panties.� Cho knew the moment his fingers would enter
her lower lips, all rational thought would disappear.� Her mind fought with her body to give her the
strength to grab his wrist.

�Harry, wait�� Cho said, just above a whisper.� Harry�s torture of her neck, however, didn�t
stop, and he grunted in acknowledgment of her request.� �I�uh�you�� she started again, trying to
compose herself through his lips ministrations.�
�You�uh�you promised me, you�wouldn�t hurt�Marietta.�
Why were you�over there?� she asked, unable to keep herself from tilting
her head to side and allowing him even more access to her neck.

But the torture stopped, briefly.� �No, I didn�t, Love.� I never promised,� Harry said, then went back
to tasting her throat.

Cho sighed from frustration or arousal, she wasn�t
sure.� �Yes�yes�you did, Harry.� That night�in your�bed�� she explained,
licking her lips, enjoying his on her.�

But they stopped once more, and Cho soon felt breath flowing
over her lips.� �No, Cho.� I said �okay� when you asked me to
promise.� I never said �I promise�
because I had no intentions of promising.�
I�ve tried to keep myself under control, but that little bitch has it
coming if I see fit one day,� he explained so casually, it scared Cho just a
little.

�That�s not fair, Harry.�
When you said �okay� I thought you were agreeing.� Anyone would think that!� she exclaimed.

Harry simply shrugged his shoulders.� �All the worse for them then, isn�t it?� Now if we could get back to the tasting of
Cho Chang, I would really appreciate it.�
It�s killing the mood talking about HER.�� Harry leaned back to her neck, but Cho pulled
her head away.

�No, Harry.� I want
you to promise me you won�t hurt her,� Cho demanded, still holding the wrist
that wanted to lower between her legs and make her forget her own name for
awhile.

�I�m not promising you anything, Love.� She has it coming.� I just don�t know if or when I�ll administer
her punishment for touching you.� Now
please, Cho�� Harry said, trying to kiss her cheek once more.

�No!� Cho said, backing her head away again.

Harry huffed in annoyance.�
�Fine, Love!� he said suddenly, and held her chin so that she was
looking right at him.� �You want to save
her, I want that sacrifice you were offering before.� You want it that bad, well, you know what I
want then.� Kiss me, Love!� Harry said,
before pushing his lips onto Cho�s.

Releasing his hand that wanted to travel into her panties,
she slapped Harry on the cheek.� �No!�
she repeated again.

Harry narrowed his green eyes at her in irritation and
confusion.� �Hang on, Love, this was the
sacrifice you wanted to make not long ago!�
I�m merely wanted to accept your offer!��
With that, Harry kissed her mouth once more, before receiving another
slap.� �DAMN IT, CHO!� he yelled, holding
his own red cheek now.

Cho was shocked in her irritation.� She had replayed his words over and over
again in her head about how he didn�t want her to sacrifice a kiss to him for Marietta.� How he only wanted to kiss her when she was
ready to give it to him willingly.� Not
that she thought it was sweet and endearing, or anything.� And it didn�t often replay in her mind when
their lips were inches apart, making her wonder how it would be if she was
ready.� Not that she would ever be
ready.� No.� Cho had no intentions of kissing her
assailant.� �But you said�you didn�t want
it�that way.� You wanted it when I
was�ready�IF I were to ever be�ready, that is��

Cho watched Harry lower his head briefly as if in thought,
then look back up at her.� �I�well, I�ve
changed my mind then, haven�t I?� You
want to save�her�then I get my kiss!� he proclaimed, and pressed his lips
against hers again before receiving yet another slap to the face.

Cho was angry, irritated and for some reason,
disappointed.� �Out, Harry!� Out of my bed right now!� You will not have me tonight or tomorrow!� Get out of my bed!� And if you attempt to hurt her tonight, I
will fight you right here in my dormitory.�
And THAT I�ll be able to explain to anyone who asks!� Cho warned.

�Cho, hang on�� Harry said, need accented with anger dancing
in his eyes.� He placed his hand back on
her chest and began stroking her breast roughly, while kissing her neck.

�No, OUT!� NOW!� she
yelled, and pushed him onto her bedroom floor.

Harry stood up as quickly as he possibly could, though it
was evident that his backside was in pain.�
�Cho,� he called, reaching for her as she watched him though the
curtains.

Cho slapped his hand away.�
�OUT!� she said in a loud whisper, considering they were speaking
outside her charmed four-poster.� Harry�s
green eyes watched her angrily for a moment, before he sucked his teeth,
ironically in a way that would make Marietta
proud, grabbed his cloak and left the room.

Cho sat back on her bed, irritated.� But worse of all, she was still aroused.� �Damn it!�
I couldn�t wait to yell at him until after the sex?� Daft little twit, aren�t I?� she berated
herself, before sighing heavily, laying back on her bed, and satisfying the
urge Harry hadn�t been given a chance too.

*********************

�I�m�dreaming right?�
You�re not actually walking to breakfast with me this morning?� Terry
asked Cho as they headed toward their House door.

Cho was shocked as well, thinking Harry would have come back
that morning and not taking �no� and a slap for an answer.� Or was she hoping that?� Oh yeah, she was still horny.� �No, you�re not dreaming, Terry.� Because I�m sure if you were, I would be some
big burly bloke with an immense penis, loads of lube, and an insatiable
appetite for cute Ravenclaw boys.�

Terry snorted.�
�Blimey, you know me too well, Cho!� he said.� �Except, they don�t have to be burly
blo�� Terry�s words trailed off as he and
she passed the storage room near their House.

�Terry?� Teeerrry?�
Cho called, waving her hand in his face.�
�Terry?� HARRY!� she said angrily,
knowing he was around though she couldn�t see him.� Suddenly, she was pulled by her wrist and
yanked into the storage room.� Before the
door closed, she could hear Terry whistling and walking down the hall.� �You asshole!� Cho yelled at the nothingness
of the room, knowing she was not alone in there.

Harry pulled his cloak off, and unlike their Saturday after
the game, the two didn�t rip into each like sex was the new air in which to
survive.� Well, at least Cho didn�t tear
into him.� Harry, however, must have
gotten the word that Cho was the keeper of all air, because before she knew it,
she was bent over a counter and her skirt was yanked up her back.�

Cho was spewing angry words at the Gryffindor, but deep
down, she wanted it and she wanted it badly.�
She hoped Harry didn�t notice when she spread open her legs a little
more in her �forced� position.� Her cunt
was already wet and ready for his entry, and she bit back the whimper of
pleasurable pain when his member pushed inside her.� As Cho was beginning to be fucked roughly
from behind, she tried to remember the last time he had taken her so harshly
without her consent.� But as she tried to
think back, she lost the thought because the sound of her bottom smacking
against his pelvis and his demanding dick mixed together were making her feel
heavenly.� She needed it.� She had needed it since the night
before.� And she�d be damned if her body
didn�t know it was Monday.�

But Cho was not going to let him know she was enjoying
it.� She bit back every moan that wanted
to escape her, and resisted the urge to push back on his hard penis with every
thrust he issued.� Cho wasn�t even sure
he was enjoying it as much as she was at least, because she only heard the
occasional grunt from behind her.�
Mostly, she only heard him trying to breath through his teeth.� His hands held her hips tightly for leverage,
and didn�t rub her anywhere like he normally would in that position.� This was odd, considering that he would at
least try to touch her hair.� But even
that was left without his fondling.

Soon, the rough ride of Cho�s wet, wanting insides were
coming to an end.� Harry grunted for
maybe the fifth time during the sex, and began filling her walls with his
spunk.� This, of course, caused Cho to
cum as well, doing all she could not to moan his name or that of a higher
power.� But the orgasm was good enough to
make her moan, considering how much she needed it.� She wasn�t sure if Harry felt the same way,
however, since she didn�t feel him collapse on her.� In fact, she soon felt herself empty,
something she hadn�t felt after sex for a long time.� Harry had pulled out of her, and was fixing
his clothes when she stood up straight.�
Cho pulled down her skirt, and glanced at him on occasion as he buttoned
and zipped up.� He didn�t look at her,
however, not even as he walked toward the door.�
But as he put his hand on the knob, he stopped and watched the floor.

�Are�you�alright?� he asked, blankly.

Cho was slightly shocked to hear his voice considering it
was the first time he used it since he pulled her inside the room.� But the question didn�t surprise her at
all.� �I�m fine,� she replied just as
blankly, and watched Harry nod toward the floor and leave without another word.

************

�Did you get your essay?� Terry asked as Cho sat down,
tenderly, at breakfast.

�What?� she asked, totally confused by his statement.

Terry sighed.� �The
essay you ran back for, remember, while we were walking to breakfast?�

It took Cho a moment to remember that Terry had been
Confunded by Harry and that must have been the idea he came up with.� �Oh�uh, yeah, I got it now.� Sorry about that,� she said.

Terry shrugged his shoulders.� �No worries,� he said before she started in
on her breakfast.� �Well, I guess those
two won�t be eating anything this morning!�
More like, Harry will just be feeding off the dinner she probably still
has in her stomach from last night.�

Cho nearly spit out her pumpkin juice at his statement.� �What on God�s green earth are you on about,
Terry?� she laughed, wiping her mouth on a napkin.

Terry smirked a little.�
�Look.� The Prince and Princess of
Gryffindor are fit to devour each other at the table over there!� he said,
pointing at Harry and Ginny, more like HarGinryny considering how deeply the
two were kissing.� Cho�s eyes widened a
little at the level of intensity in their kissing.� Ginny looked as though her head would fall
off with the amount of pressure Harry was putting on her lips as he kissed
her.� Then again, she was clinging around
his neck and reciprocating it with all her might.� Their tongues could be seen from anywhere in
the Great Hall the way they were lapping at each other.� A few other Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and
Ravenclaws around them looked slightly amused to slightly disgusted by the
display of affection or mouth-sex that was taking place.� It was only when Ron and Hermione entered the
Great Hall that Harry and Ginny stopped their public display of
tongue-fucking.�

Cho laughed to herself as the two acted very innocent,
poking at their breakfast when Ron sat down beside them.� Her laughter stopped when she caught Harry
glancing at her before returning to his innocent act of eating breakfast.

Pathetic� she
thought.� I hope that wasn�t for my benefit?

�Reckon, the Prophet should have gotten a picture of that
too!� Terry said, snorting lightly.�
�Great Quidditch player and champion snogger; what can�t Potter do?�

Cho rolled her eyes and laughed.� �Are you still on about that bloody game,
Terry?�

Terry narrowed his eyes in confusion at the girl.� �No, Cho.�
I mean, well, yeah I�ll be keeping this picture in my four-poster for
awhile.� Maybe I�ll use a glue charm and
stick on my canopy so I can see it when I�m�um�well anyway,� he blushed.� �It�s proper porn, isn�t it?� he laughed,
then handed Cho the Daily Prophet.� �Turn
to the sports page and don�t get anything on it.� I want it spotless!�

Cho snatched the paper in mock exasperation.� She flipped through the Prophet until she
came across a full page moving picture of Harry elbowing Draco out of his way
and catching the Snitch at Saturday�s game.�
�This is not going to be appreciated�� she mumbled under her breath.

�What�s that, Cho?� asked Terry.

�What�s the big deal, Harry?� Cho heard Ron ask at the
Gryffindor table.� �So they took a couple
of pictures of the game��

�Ronald!� scolded Hermione.�
�Haven�t you been paying attention?�
This is exactly why Harry has been so upset lately!� Since when does the Daily Prophet cover
Hogwarts Quidditch matches?�

�Since the wizarding world started praising me for being
able to put my shoes on the right feet every morning!� sneered Harry to the
paper.� �And the bloody headline��

Cho looked down at Terry�s copy of the Prophet.� On the right page it read:�

Harry Potter, Chosen One and Future Quidditch Star!�

Feeling uneasy, Cho read further on.

Not only is the
magical world�s young hero brave and strong enough to vanquish the Dark Lord,
but it seems that Harry Potter, age sixteen, is a force to be reckoned with on
the Quidditch pitch as well.� It is not
common practice for the Daily Prophet to cover Quidditch matches at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but how foolish we have been, for school
Quidditch is more exciting then every British professional team put together,
what with Harry Potter playing.� The
Captain and Seeker of Gryffindor, rightfully so of course, lead the House of
the Brave to a victory over the Slytherins, with a score of 260-170.� It was a brutal game, but our hero played
with dignity and honor, and an unnatural talent for the sport.�

That talent was
recognized earlier on when he was merely a young lad of eleven, chosen in his
first year to be Seeker, dubbing him the youngest Quidditch player in a
centaury.� Even in his first year,
sources report�

Cho stopped reading when she heard Harry huff loudly and
slam his fist on his House table.� She
folded the Prophet and handed it back to Terry.�
�Reckon, he�s not too happy about that?�
Don�t know why�� began Terry, before he lowered his voice, �it�s a
rather brilliant picture.� Every�thing in
it�looks good to me!�

Cho forced a laughed.�
�Naughty boy,� she said, elbowing Terry.�
Terry laughed as well.� �It�s
going to be a rough night�� she sighed and to her surprise, Terry had �sighed�
the same sentiment.� Cho and Terry slowly
looked at one another.� �What did
you�say?� she asked tentatively.

Terry went red and swallowed hard.� �Uh�nothing.�
What did you�say?� he asked just as nervously.

Cho considered him for a moment.� �Um, nothing as well,� she answered, then she
glanced over at the Gryffindor table, not noticing Terry glancing behind them.

�Um, Cho?� called Terry, turning forward.

�Hmm?� she said, watching Harry trying not to look at her,
but able to read what little she could see in his eyes, and deciding not to
participate.

�Are you busy�tonight?� Terry asked.

Cho turned to her friend.�
�No, Terry, NOT at ALL.� I�LL be
doing NOTHING this evening.� Why do you
ask?�

Terry�s eyes were narrowed to slits from confusion.� �UM WELL, thought you MIGHT want to HANG out with
ME!� he said, trying to imitate her.

Cho laughed at him, and secretly at Harry who had heard her
statement.� �Brilliant, I�d love too.�

�OKAY, then,� Terry said, shaking his head at his bowl of
cereal.

***************************************************

After dinner, Cho and Terry sat in the common room on their
favorite navy blue sofa.� They had been
talking about nothing and laughing about everything, and Cho was glad she
decided to hang out him instead studying with Cormac, or sneaking out with Harry.� But Cho knew that at any moment, her House
door would open, and she�d feel an invisible hand on her shoulder.� However, she had no intentions of following its
owner anywhere if she did feel it.� And
she knew that if that didn�t happen, she would wake up in the middle of night,
naked and presently being licked in her most intimate area tenderly or
ferociously.� Either way, she�d be
screaming to the heavens and her willpower would be no more.

Okay, stop thinking
about being licked, will you? Cho berated herself as Terry talked.

Alright, but can I
take a bath later?

A nice, long, hot
one?� God, yes!

�Aren�t you the lucky one�� Cho heard Terry say as if off in
the distance, though he was sitting right next to her.

The pretty Ravenclaw�s eyes darted around quickly, trying to
remember what they were talking about.�
�Lucky one?� I am, why?� she
asked.

Terry sucked his teeth.�
�Haven�t you been listening to me, Cho?�

�Yes!� Well�I blanked
for a second.� But only a second to
remind myself to take a bath tonight, is all.�
I�m sorry, Terry.�

Terry huffed in mock irritation.� �Well, I suppose I understand.� When I think of the two of them, I need a hot
bath as well.� Actually, a cold shower
would be more useful considering��

�Terry!� Cho exclaimed in mock disgust, hitting him with the
back of her hand.� �Speaking so freely
about your solitary sexual behaviors in the common room; shame on you!� There are first years around here, you know?�
she said looking around the room, and starting to giggle.

Terry was giggling as well.�
�Hey, they know all about it.� How
old do you think I was when I got started?�
Hogwarts brought the hormonal freak out of me!� I mean, honestly, I did come in at the same
time as the two people we were�correction, I was discussing.�

�Hormones brought the hormonal freak out of you!� Don�t blame the bloody school!� Cho laughed,
Terry joining in.� �What two people, by
the way?� she asked after regaining her composure.

Terry huffed once more as he gathered himself as well.� �Draco and Harry, of course.�

�Oh,� began Cho, still confused.� �So�why am I lucky again?� And was does Malf�I mean, either of them have
to do with it?�

�I�uh, heard about them fighting over you not long ago,�
Terry began, looking down at his lap.

Cho nodded as comprehension set in.� �Oh.�
Well, they weren�t�exactly fighting over me.� Malfoy was being a ruddy, disgusting git, and
Harry��

�Was being Harry Potter, Boy Hero?� Terry finished her
statement.

Cho sighed sadly to herself.�
It was attitudes like that that kept her Harry�s perfect
imperfection.� �Yes, I suppose so.� Not that I needed him too help me��

Terry snorted.� �Oh,
who cares if you didn�t NEED him too?�
You just bloody take it, because it�s hot!� Those two at each other throats, that
enormous tension between them, and the fact that they are both deliciously
hot!� Fuck, Cho, what I wouldn�t do to be
the �versus� in that battle of Good vs. Evil!� Terry explained, earnestly.� �They could fight THROUGH me if they wanted
too!�� Cho nearly doubled over in
laughter at her friend�s fantasy.� �In
fact, they could do what ever they want through me, or at least let me be in
the room to watch!�� Now Terry fell over
in laughter.

�Terry, you are so silly!� Cho said, trying to calm her
laughter.

The Ravenclaw boy attempted the same.� �No, Cho.�
I�m honest,� he said.� The two sat
for a moment still giggling at their conversation and watching others in the common
room.� �And I�m�� began Terry again
suddenly, and to Cho�s surprise, quietly, �sorry too.�

Cho�s head that was resting on the back of the couch, turned
toward her friend.�� No need to be
sorry, Terry.� It was a very funny
joke.� Oh, hang on, I�m sure it wasn�t a
joke, you would love to be sandwiched between them, wouldn�t you?�

Terry�s smile had disappeared and Cho wondered why.� But he nodded at her comment despite it.� �Yes, I would.� But�that�s not what I�m�sorry about, Cho,� he
added in a more solemn tone.

Cho sat up straight and looked back at her friend.� �What are you �sorry� about then, Terry?� she
asked worriedly.

Terry was silent for several moments, all the while keeping
his eyes to the sofa cushions.� �I�well,
about�Draco�attacking you...� he said quietly.

Now Cho was silent for a moment.� �Terry�I�don�t understand�what are you�trying
to say?� What did you do?�

�I�� Terry began, poking at the cushions with his wand.� �Nothing, Cho.� I didn�t do anything.� Let�s just forget I said anything, can we?�

Cho narrowed her eyes.�
�No, I don�t think so.� What is
it, Terry?� Tell me.�

Terry braved a glance at his friend�s eyes. ��Nothing�just know�I�m sorry.� Alright?�
Besides�I can�t�I shouldn�t say�anything��

Cho crossed her arms in front of her and raised an eyebrow.� �Terry��

The Ravenclaw boy knew it was a lost cause.� Cho watched him concede, but look around the
room nervously at the other Ravenclaws in ear shot.� Then he looked back at her.� �All right then, I�ll tell you.� But not�here.�
Come on,� he said, standing up quickly and grabbing her wrists.� Before Cho could protest or agree, she was
hoisted off the couch by her arms and was being pulled up the Ravenclaw boys�
staircase.

�Terry�Terry�� said Cho trying to keep up with her arm and
her friend going up the stairs.� �Why and
where are we going?�

�We�re going to my room to talk in private.� Too many ears and nosey gits about downstairs.� Come on�� Terry explained before they entered
the sixth year boys� dormitory.

Upon entering the room, Cho thought back to the only other
boys� dorm she had been in.� This was
much different then the one in Gryffindor
Tower that harbored her
assailant and one of the beds she has had pretty remarkable sex in�

Stop thinking about
sex already! she thought to herself angrily.� You
just got it this morning.

Yeah, and it was good,
wasn�t it?

Besides the whole
anger bit, yes.

�What is she doing in here?� asked a voice that shook Cho
from her sexual thoughts.� She turned to
see Michael sitting on his bed, reading a book, while their only other roommate
simply gawked at the pretty girl in his room.

Cho sneered at Michael.�
�Trust me, I�m not here for you, Michael,� she said snappishly.

�It�s hard to tell considering our last encounter,� he
responded just the same.

�Everyone has their pathetically weak and totally psychotic
moments, don�t they, Michael?� Terry retorted in her defense.

Michael huffed.�
�Watch yourself with her, Terry.�
She�ll try to change you from a pouf!�

�Go to hell, Michael.�
Or at least, let them sew your jaw back up so we don�t have to hear you
speak!� Or for that matter, open your
huge gob, telling other people�s business!� Cho said scratchily.� Harry
was far too easy on you too� she thought maliciously.

�Just shut your mouth, Michael, we didn�t come up here to
fight.� Come on, Cho,� Terry said,
pulling her to his bed.� When they both
sat on it, folding their legs underneath themselves, Terry closed the curtains
and issued a silencing charm.

�I really can�t stand him anymore,� Cho mumbled.� �I don�t know why I ever��

Terry exhaled.�
�Well�I guess we all�make mistakes sometimes,� he said, looking down at
his bed.

Cho watched her friend for a moment.� �So what�s this all about, then?� What were you sorry about�and what mistakes
did you make?� Nothing as bad as mine,
I�m sure��

�I�I�m the reason Draco�attacked you�well, manhandled you�it
would have been worse if Harry hadn�t�intervene�� he explained to his folded
legs.

The pretty girl sat in silence for a moment, still confused
by her friend�s admission, then resolving that he had suffer some head injury
in the past few days that she didn�t know about.� �Terry, Draco attacked me�because of
the�rumors�� she said the last word disdainfully, �but also because�he�s Draco Malfoy,
resident Hogwarts pig.� You can�t blame
yourself for��

�He didn�t like you and me walking into the Great Hall that
day with our arms around each other!� Terry sputtered out quickly, interrupting
her statement.

�Why?� Cho asked quietly, though something inside her
already knew the answer because it sounded far too familiar to her.

Terry�s head seemed to lower even more until his chin was
practically touching his chest.�
�I�um�well��

�You�re�sleeping with him�aren�t you?� Cho concluded when he
couldn�t.

Terry didn�t move or breath for a moment, but then slowly
nodded his head.

Cho was shocked, though she didn�t want to show it on her
face.� She didn�t know Draco liked
boys.� Terry was a very cute boy, she
could see why he would like�sleep�or something, with him, but she had heard
only about girls and Draco.� �So�he�s�gay
too, then?� she asked.� �I thought he
only liked girls.�

Terry sighed before shaking his head slowly.� �He�likes girls just fine�it�s just�he has a
weakness for�cute boys.� Not big burly
lads, not femms, just cute boys.� Every
year there�s one he�s�sleeping with regularly while running through the panties
of all the girls in the school.� This
year�I�ve been chosen to be the lucky one��

Cho sighed, not in pity but complete understanding.� �Is he�forcing you�Terry?�

Terry�s head shot up and his eyes narrowed in utter
confusion.� �No way!� Not, Draco.�
He doesn�t have to force anyone to be with him, does he?� He�s bloody gorgeous, that one!�

So is Harry�so what?
Cho thought.� Mental illness is blind.

�Is he�rough with you, then?� she asked tentatively.

Terry�s eyelids lowered and he nodded his head slowly.� �Oh, yes!�
God bless him!� he said, then shuddered with a sly smile.

Cho shook her head at her friend and smiled.� �I was just asking because you seem�so�down
about it,� she explained.

Terry lowered his head again.� �It�s just�I�m not�down about it�well, I
am.� I�he, I don�t know�has been getting
jealous�lately.� How that happened�or why
for that matter, I haven�t a clue.� We�re
just�shagging.� At least�that�s the way
it started.� �No strings attached� is
what he told me the first night, the first night back to school actually,� the
Ravenclaw boy shook his head, sighed and looked up at his friend.� �It started on the�the train��

No�way! Cho
thought, trying to no let her mouth hang open in shock.

�He�came by my compartment and paused.� He then gave me this�look, like he had never
seen me before, then he continued on with Crabbe and Goyle like it was
nothing.� I didn�t think much of it,
until after the Welcome Back Feast when he �accidentally� bumped into me enough
that I ended up alone in a corridor with him.�
Then he pulled me into this classroom and�well, you can guess what
happened.�� Terry ran his hands through
his hair as he exhaled as if he was lifting a heavy weight off his body.� �Anyway�everything was great.� He�s brilliant shag, as you could probably
imagine��

Cho shook her head and tried to suppress her expression of
disgust.� �No�no, I can�t imagine.� Don�t want to, actually��

Terry snorted and nodded in understanding.� �No, I guess you wouldn�t.� You�re not one for bad boys, you prefer the
hero-types, it would seem.� First,
Diggory, then Harry, then�well, you kind of went down hill from there.� No one can really follow Harry Potter, can
they?� he laughed.

Cho lowered her head, unable to share in her friend�s
laughter.� �Actually, first it was Harry,
then Cedric�then, Harry again�� she sighed sadly.� �You can�t help who you fancy, though, can
you?� Cho spat angrily.

�No truer words have ever been spoken, Cho,� said Terry,
lying back on his bed in frustration.�
Cho looked up at her distraught friend.�
She then crawled across the bed, and lay next to him.� They lay in silence for several minutes, both
thinking over their unique but similar problems.� �I know better, you know,� Terry began again,
looking at the navy blue canopy of his bed.�
�I�ve been shagging boys since I was fourteen.� I know how not to get emotionally involved.� And I know Draco�s�reputation:� Love them�more like shag them, then leave
them.� But his�victims�have a tendency to
forget, I reckon.� He had a seventh year
Hufflepuff last year, Clifford Miller.�
Right gorgeous bloke, that one.�
Poor thing though, crying his eyes out practically on the Hogwarts
Express at the end of the year.�

�Why?� asked Cho, remembering Clifford as being a
strong-willed, good hearted boy.

�When I asked what happened, he told me about his�fling with
Draco.� Even as a bloody fifth year, he
could make a seventh year fall to pieces for him.� Cliff said everything was fine all year. The
sex was amazing, though he was never a bottom, he had no choice with Draco, of
course.� Draco bottoms for no one.� He�ll suck you until your forehead is fit to
cave in, but he only sucks, gets sucked, and fucks.� But Cliff said his downfall happened two
weeks before his graduation.� He�gave in
to Draco and�kissed him,� Terry said, reluctantly.

Cho mentally patted herself on the back for never allowing
Harry to kiss her properly.� Though she
wondered what would happen if she did�

�Kissing�s to�personal, isn�t it?� Cho said mostly to
herself.

Terry nodded toward the canopy they were both watching.� �Yeah�it is��

Cho noticed the sad tone of her friend�s voice and turned
her head to him.� �You�haven�t kissed
him�have you?� she asked tentatively.

She watched Terry close his eyes and nod slowly.� �I�shouldn�t have done it.� It�s just�he can beg in the most pathetic,
endearing, and still damn sexy way that eventually�you give in to anything he
wants to do.� He was so upset about
something�at home, one night.� I mean,
he�s the son of a Death Eater, isn�t he?�
Things aren�t�perfect for him either.�
Anyway, he�just kept asking me, begging me, kissing me all over my
face.� I had said �no� to him a million
times before, trying to save myself more than anything.� But that night�after we�shagged for like
hours it seemed, he just�kissed me�and I�let him,� Terry shook his head, his
eyes still shut tightly.� �I shouldn�t
have done it�for so many different reasons.�
And guess what?� He�s bloody
brilliant at that too!� Bastard!�

Cho couldn�t help but giggle at his statement.� �Yeah, damn him for his lip-locking skills!�

Terry cracked a smile and opened his eyes before elbowing
his friend.� �You try surviving an entire
lunch period just being kissed, thoroughly, by him and see if you don�t call
him a few choice words!� he said, trying not to laugh as well.� �No, you wouldn�t be able to because your
lips would be so passion-swollen, you wouldn�t be able to form words properly!�

The two friends laughed for a moment at Terry�s
expense.� �So, tell me then, Terry,� Cho
began after the giggles began to fade, �if Draco knows you�re his, and he�s
knows you�re as gay as the day is long, why would he be jealous of me?�

Terry shrugged his shoulders before staring up at the canopy
again.� �I wish I understood it too.� It�s just�when he has his girls, he doesn�t
care who else they�re with.� But when he
has chosen a boy for the year, he doesn�t want them touching any other boy, or
anyone else for that matter, it would seem.�
Not that I would have the energy to be with anyone else.� We�re at it practically every day.� I told him I wasn�t with anyone else, even
though he may be�� his words trailed off.

Cho looked toward her friend again.� �You mean the girls�right?�

Terry sighed once more.�
�I�don�t know.� Usually he is with
only one boy a year, so as not to lead to fights and arguments or people
finding out.� But this year�I don�t
know.� The way he�s been looking at Colin
Creevey��

�Colin Creevey?� You
must be joking! �You�re much cuter than
Colin Creevey, Terry!� Cho exclaimed.�
�Besides, I thought Colin liked girls.

Terry blushed.� �Thank
you.� But, I don�t know�Colin�s a bit
obsessed with everything Harry Potter.�

Now Cho was completely confused.� �What does�Harry have to do with you, Draco,
and Colin?�

Terry snorted.� �Yeah,
sounds strange but�I overheard Dennis and Colin talking about Colin�s obsession
with Harry.� Dennis said he thinks
Harry�s brilliant as well, but Colin is�just way to into everything concerning
Harry.� From Ginny Weasley and you, to
Ron and Hermione, to Draco.� I think the
only one he wouldn�t touch is You-Know-Who.�
But I�m sure he�d kill him if he tried to touch Harry!�

�Me?� Huh?� she said,
still not getting it.

�Anyone who has been in Harry�s life in some extreme
fashion, outside of You-Know-Who, Colin wants to�touch�you know what I mean��
Terry explained, turning his head to look at her.

Cho shuddered in disgust.�
�Ick!� He�ll never stand a chance
with me unless he wants his hero too�.� Cho stopped and cleared her throat
before she revealed that Colin�s fate would rest in his hero�s hands if he
touched Cho inappropriately.� �And Ginny
Weasley�I mean, she�s far to obsessed with Harry to come out of her haze to
even see Colin.� And Ron and Hermione�my
goodness, are Ron and Hermione!� I see
now�they are meant to be together.� But
Draco��

�But Draco, indeed,� Terry interjected.� �Colin�s a cute boy too.� And stupidly willing to�do whatever Draco
wants sexually�I�m sure.� And Draco would
be more than willing to�give it to him.�
When I noticed him watching Colin, I tried to break off the sex with
him.� I�m�getting in to deep with a
guarantee to be hurt.� But when I tried
to tell him I didn�t want this anymore�he gave me this sad story about how much
he needed me, and that he wasn�t plotting on or planning on doing anything with
Colin Creevey.� And he told me�how much
he needed me��

�You said that part already,� Cho said.

�I know, that�s what I told him too.� But that�s why I�m in bed with you right now,
instead of somewhere�with him.� I just
needed�a break�from him, from it�and, worse� from me.�

The two laid again in silence.� Cho was lost in thought over the many times
Harry had told her the same thing.� How
Harry had told her several times that he �needed� her, that she kept him sane,
and that he wanted to kiss her.� She was
glad she had more willpower than the boy lying next to her, against the boy who
often lay on top of her.� But how long
would that last?

�We�um, you�ll be able to�survive this, won�t you, Terry?�
Cho asked the canopy above.

Terry was silent for a moment longer before speaking.� �I�hope so, Cho.� The things he says when we�re alone�the way
he touches me�God, I don�t know.� It�s�so
hard to picture myself�with another bloke after�being with Draco.�

A smile tugged at Cho�s lip, and she smirked.� �Funny, that!�
Marietta
said the same exact thing last year after she sucked Draco off!�� Terry turned to his friend is shock before
they both burst out laughing in his bed.
