Blind

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: everything belongs to JK Rowling, otherwise I would be the one who was famous!!!!!

Ok, reviewer people, milkywaybar, yes, Harry is a prat, he always has been! Lol!

ShoeMalfoy, YES, this is a Harry/Ginny fic! And Cho is annoying, that's the whole point! If you read the summary you can kinda guess what happens later. DIE CHO DIE!!

Madamehooch92, maybe you should do a story with Cho and Cedric's relationship that doesn't show up in the book! ]

RusselGrl115, your advice is good. I am definitely adding more to the beginning. It's just that I wanted to get the story started first.

"Harry, Harry!" called a voice. Harry Potter turned around just in time to see Cho Chang running towards him, her silky black hair flying out behind her like a cape.

Harry's stomach gave a jolt. The two Hogwarts student hadn't spoken since Harry's 5th year which was the equivalent of Cho's 6th year. Why was she talking to him? Every time they talked or went on dates, the conversations ended with Cho crying about Cedric Diggory. Clueless Harry didn't know what to say to her, except to change the subject, which only upset her more.

"Um, hi, Cho!" Harry said in what must have seemed like a really stupid voice.

"Er... hi!" she replied. "Have a good summer?"

"Yeah, not bad," he answered, although this was a total lie. He had barely ever had a good summer in his life, with the exception of the small parts of it where he somehow got to go to places like Diagon Alley or the World Quidditch Cup (Cho had been there). Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley always tormented him, and most of the time he was confined to his room (to tell the truth, he often preferred this arrangement; he loved to get away from the Dursleys has much as they liked to stay away from him).

"Mine wasn't bad either," Cho said. "Mum and Dad got me a Firebolt! Now we'll both have them and maybe I'll even beat you at Quidditch!" Here she flashed him a flirtatious smile.

Questions were spinning in Harry's mind: first of all, why was she even talking to him after all that had happened? Second, why was she acting as though absolutely nothing had happened, and most importantly, when he thought he was over her last summer and had stopped getting butterflies in his stomach, it seemed as though the butterflies had come back! Was he still in love with Cho Chang?

"Well, this year's my last year," she babbled. "I wish I could play for a Quidditch team, but I'm actually thinking of becoming a Healer; that'd be quite fun, what about you?"

"I was actually sort of thinking about becoming an Auror," Harry said, flushing. Would she think he was good enough to take on such a hard job?

"Oh, you'd be good at that, of course," she cried! "I mean, with you beating You-know-who every time, and the DA and everything! That'd be awesome!"

"Well, thanks..."

"I guess you're wondering why I'm talking to you."

FINALLY! "Well, maybe."

"Well, it's just that..." Here Cho turned red and played with her hands (her nails were painted blue). "...just that...I miss you Harry!" she burst out in a rush. "I miss the fun we had together, the laughing, the hanging out at Hogsmeade... Please, do you think we could try being boyfriend and girlfriend again?"

Harry thought. He remembered Cho crying again and again, how awful he'd felt, and remembered her completely forgiving her friend Marietta, who had told on them to Professor Umbridge about the DA. Did he really want to get back together with her? But then he remembered the butterflies in his stomach when she praised him, the happy feeling he got in his chest after she kissed him on the cheek... he did miss her! "Sure, Cho," he answered.

Cho smiled and not speaking a word, kissed him on the cheek and ran off in the direction of the Ravenclaw common room. Harry stood there for a moment before running off to tell Ron and Hermione the news.
