A Love at Hogwarts

By: Amanda Melander

(August 28)

It had been one whole summer since she had last seen him. Cho couldn't wait to see Harry again. Cho Chang that is. Cho had been trying to work up the courage to send Ron Weasley or Hermione Granger a letter asking for Harry's address so she could send him a letter. She actually managed to write the letter, but had never sent it. Now it sat in the wastebasket next to her desk. She was becoming very anxious because school was going to be starting soon. Cho had been counting down the days.

"Four more days," she reminded herself.

"Cho dear! Could you come downstairs please?"

"Yes mother," Cho answered.

"You've gotten a few letters dear," her mother said.

"Okay. Who are they from?"

"Well, one is from Hogwarts. One is from someone named Hermione Granger, and the other...seems to be from a boy," her mother said.

"Hogwarts, Hermione Granger, and who?" She said almost praying that it was from Harry.

"Harry Potter," her mother answered. Cho half ripped the three letters out of her mothers hands, ran upstairs, went into her room, and shut the door. She opened the one from Harry first.

Dear Cho,

I hope this gets to you. Hermione gave me your address, but she wasn't sure if you still lived where you did in our first year. Anyway, I just wanted to ask you if you would meet me at King's Cross station at quarter to eleven. That way we can get a compartment together and catch up. I think Hermione's meeting Draco, and Ron's meeting Luna. Maybe we can all sit together! That is, if you don't mind?

Sincerely,

Harry

Cho got off her bed, went over to her desk, and sat down as soon as she finished reading. She pulled out a spare piece of parchment and wrote her reply:

Dear Harry,

I got your letter. I don't mind if we all sit together. I think it would be fun. See you at 10:45 on September 1st.

Sincerely,

Cho

"Looks good to me," Cho said to herself as she wrote down the address for her owl. She sent the letter right away. "Now for Hermione's letter."

Dear Cho,

I was wondering if you had gotten Harry's letter yet. If you didn't I'm sorry for spoiling the surprise! I was also wondering, if you've gotten Harry's letter that is, if you were going to do what Harry asked you to do? Please send your reply soon!

Sincerely,

Hermione

Cho almost wished she hadn't sent out her reply to Harry. She figured that her owl would be back by morning and she'd send it out then.
