Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Author's Note: Weekly, 100 word drabbles inspired by a different word each week, focusing on random pairings each week. This week: Cho and Harry. Would anyone be up for partnering with me to do these weekly challenges for Harry Potter, coming up with a different word each week or a different challenge each week? Please let me know if you are. As it stands, this is 100 words on the dot, word of the week was film and the pairing is Cho/Harry.

Please let me know what you think, even if what you think is that this is trash. Every review is food for my muse!


Facets Of A Rough Diamond

Film

She's covered in a thin film of sweat as Cho exits the Ministry of Magic building, brushing past people in her impatience to leave.

Nasty gawkers, she thinks. They're here out of morbid curiosity and a thirst for vengeance, not justice, she suspects. She's pondering the case proceedings – the girl's innocent but the verdict could be anything – when she bumps into someone that recognises her.

"Hi." She's distracted as she looks into famous green eyes. Her heart thuds painfully – out of awkwardness, not infatuation.

"Hi." His smile is full of charming awkwardness, and suddenly, the world doesn't seem so bleak.
