Heyy guys! It's Gigglygal. I was just introduced to Cho/Draco fics a little while ago, but I think they are so awesome! This is my try on the pairing. Oh, and flames will be used for Antarctica. It's too cold there. This story takes the last day of Draco's Fifth year and the summer before his sixth. The sequal will be the year of his sixth year...if I write it. Harry Potter and Co. won't have much spotlight.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. There, I said it. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!
Pen Pals
"Before we start the end of term feast, I have an assignment. You will be writing to a fellow student of the opposite gender. It will help everyone on their...social life." Dumbledore said softly. Draco Malfoy snorted. "Here are your letters, which contain the person in which you will be writing to you." Dumbledore added, as letters appeared at every student.
Draco sighed as he opened his letter. "Cho Chang?" he said alarmingly. He glanced at the Ravenclaw table. Cho was staring at him, making a mean face. They had been paired.
"That filthy half-blood." Draco said sternly. "What did you two get?" Draco added curiously.
"Granger." Crabbe said distastefully.
"Susan Bones." Goyle said in the most bored tone he could muster.
"A Mud blood and a Hufflepuff. Maybe I did do ok." He said slyly, satisfied.
Ravenclaw Table
Cho stared at her letter. "Marietta, how could have I possibly gotten him? Draco Malfoy...such a little snot and..." Cho said angrily before Marietta stopped her.
"No cussing in school, Cho." Marietta reminded Cho. Such a goodie- goodie, Marietta was.
"Right, right. Who did you get?" Cho asked dully.
"Harry Potter. Not that I wanted him." Marietta said plainly, looking at the food that had just appeared at the table.
"Lucky! You didn't get Draco Malfoy. He is such an..." Cho said with a similar tone as the time when Marietta stopped her.
"What did I tell you about cussing in school." Marietta said sweetly.
"Don't do it." Cho said dully, rolling her eyes as she picked up a piece of chicken and took a bite.
"Well, we better eat." Marietta said plainly. Cho nodded in agreement as the two picked away at their food.
After dinner, they went back to their dormitories and went to sleep. When they woke up they went to the train and placed their belongings in the train. Marietta and Cho went to the back of the train.
"I can't believe that I have to write at least 5 letters to Draco Malfoy." Cho groaned.
"Cho, you've told me that 1,000 times." Marietta said calmly.
"I know, I know. It's just...why me?" Cho groaned.
All of a sudden, the door opened. "Hello, Chang." A sly voice said.
"Draco, get your own compartment." Marietta said sternly.
"Edgecombe, don't be such a priss. I just wanted to get to know my...pen pal." Draco laughed.
Cho rolled her eyes. "Why exactly do you NEED to be in here?" Cho said boredly.
"Because, I would like to expect 7 letters at the least. I came to tell you that." Draco said plainly.
"ARE YOU INSANE! I DON'T WANT TO WRITE LETTERS TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE! I WILL SEND YOU ONLY FIVE LETTERS!" Cho yelled, causing everyone but Draco to clutch his or her ears.
"Very well, we'll compromise on 6 letters. You write first.'' Draco said as he slid out the compartment door, Cho steaming.
"Will he just get a life?" Cho asked pulling out some money as she saw the lady with the trolley.
"Anything off the trolley, dears?'' the plump lady asked.
"Half a dozen chocolate frogs, and two things of every flavor beans." Cho said sweetly as she handed the lady her money in exchange for candy.
"Is that all?" the lady asked pleasantly.
"Oh, two glasses of pumpkin juice. That's all." Marietta added, giving her money to the lady while she poured some pumpkin juice.
"Have a good summer." The lady said as she walked to the next compartment.
"How much do they pay her to sell sweets on a train?" Marietta asked curiously.
"Not enough." Cho replied with a laugh.
"So, what are you doing over the summer?" Marietta asked, flipping her hair behind her ear.
"Other than writing to Draco Malfoy, nothing. You?" Cho replied.
"Writing to Harry Potter and I'm going to an amusement park in the US." Marietta said plainly as she opened a chocolate frog and took a bite.
"Cool." Cho yawned and stretched before picking up a chocolate frog.
They spend the rest of the trip eating and sleeping. When they arrived at the station, everyone was saying their goodbyes. Cho hugged Marietta. "I'm gonna miss you Marietta." Cho said happily.
"Same." Marietta said calmly.
Cho said good-bye to her other friends and went home with her family.
Well, that is the best I could do on this chapter, but it's more of a prologue. Every chapter will be a week—2 letters from each. Well, that's all I could do. RR please!
