The stars (Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Forty-Four

Dumbledore's Army had been caught. And it caused not only all of the people in it to get in trouble, but also Dumbledore. He disappeared but Umbridge has successfully replaced him and is now Headmaster.

Right now I'm sitting outside of the room, waiting for everyone to come out. I simply just didn't show up, if I did show I wasn't writing shit on that paper.

"Athena." I hear a soft voice from in front of me. I look up from the ground and see Cho Chang standing right there.

I don't say anything but stare. Her lip is quivering while tears go down her face. "I'm sorry." She tells me before falling to the ground and sobbing. I feel awkward sitting here and watching her cry.

"Come here," I tell her, opening my arms. She slowly gets up and crawls into my arms, and starts sobbing in my robes.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed him. Hit me, I know you want to." She tells me, It was very hard to understand her since she was crying.

"Cho... I don't want to hit you."

She looks up at me, snot and tears all over her face. "You don't?" She asks me, I nod my head. "I'm not mad at you... I'm just jealous."

I finally admitted it, I'm jealous of Cho. "You're beautiful. You had Cedric wrapped around your finger, and... Harry."

"I didn't mean to lead Harry on like that. I'm so sorry, I was lonely and he was there. I didn't mean to ruin your relationship."

"I know you didn't, but you did."

"Do you still like him?" She asks me, I nod my head. "I wish I didn't. He was a prick to me for half of the relationship, always had his eyes on you. And I was just in the background."

"Well, he feels the same." She tells me. "Really?" I ask, she nods her head while holding onto my waist tighter. "When you saw us talking in the courtyard, he was talking about you. Talking about he felt bad, and he wishes you could forgive him and It'll be normal again."

"He doesn't deserve my forgiveness. And honestly neither do you."

"I know, but please forgive me. I can't have you hate me everyone in the school hates me."

"I forgive you. Just not him, it hurt seeing him kiss you." I say as tears start to form in my eyes. Now I start to cry while holding onto Cho.

"It's not fair. Why are you so pretty, why can't I-." But I can't talk anymore. Because Cho's lips crash onto mine, I'm frozen in shock. I don't know what to do, I slowly start to move my lips against hers. I mean if Harry can kiss her why can't I?

I can taste her tears, as she kisses me harder. The kiss doesn't feel special it's sloppy and wet, it might be because we're both crying.

I've always liked girls, everyone knows that. But I never excepted to see myself snogging Cho Chang on the floor.

I slowly pull away from her. We just stare at each other, I wipe my lip like I always do. "Me and Harry are even now," I tell her before we both start to bust out into laughter.

"Friends?" She asks me, I nod and reply with. "Friends."

Soon the door opens, and we both jump Cho gets up from me and walks by the door. While I continue to sit on the floor, slowly one by one students come out. Some of them hitting into Cho, Harry comes out and she goes to talk to him but he ignores her.

Hermione and Ron walk up to me and help me off the floor.

"How come you weren't in there?" Ron asks while rubbing his hand. I smile and say. "I have my ways."
