Sub-Plot #1 - Flaming Jealousy

[Redd]

Rufus Fudge was a boy, nephew to the previous Minister of Magic. Of course the boy began slacking in his classes, thinking when he was older his uncle would give him a job no matter his grades. And then of course his uncle is fired, and here he is slacking on all of his work. A friend of Rufus' uncle and father offers to let her daughter tutor him. Of course this daughter has to be Cho Chang.

Cho was very excited at first, but as it began Rufus began acting out, saying that he didn't need this, and that he would be just fine without it, since Cho was pushing him harder than he was used to. She tells him he can just go, but he doesn't, because he knows that he needs the tutoring. That and his father would kill him if he walked out of Madame Chang's daughter, who so graciously offered her help. With increasing numbers of insults, Cho becomes frustrated and hits him back with insults to him. She started making fun of Rufus and making his life as terrible as can be.

Then she comes upun a very juicy secret. Rufus Fudge is in love with Hannah Abbott, who was a childhood friend of his. Unfortunately Hannah was in love with Neville Longbottom. Cho hatches a plan, and asks Hannah if she wanted tutoring as well. Hannah accepted graciously thinking that she needed to improve her grades, even if they were pretty good without it. And Cho was her friend so she would be able to talk with Cho more often. An imeadiate change happens in Rufus. He begins to act kinder to Cho and pretends to be enjoying the tutoring while inside he was frustrated with it, since Cho kept laying hints about Rufus' love for Hannah.

Rufus finally had it with Cho and cancelled his tutoring sessions, telling his teachers that he thinks he's learned enough. As he starts going back to normal life, he realizes that Hannah is spending time around Neville and gets jealous. He wants Hannah as his own and now that the tutoring sessions are over he never gets any time with her.

He goes back to Cho and apologizes and begs her to let the tutoring sessions go on. She agrees and lets him start again. Cho kept embarassing him and laying down hints to Hannah about his affections for her every chance she gets and Rufus ignores her, only yelling at her when Hannah makes excuses not to show up to the tutoring sessions.
