Harry's dishevelled hair whipped around wildly in the windy night. He arched his neck to get a better view of Cho. Her dark, slender hair was waving about furiously, accentuating her beautiful facial features which were scrunched into a tight grimace against the bombarding wind.
Her eyes met Harry's and she quickly ran in his direction. He immediately looked away when their eyes locked on to each other, cheeks beginning to blush a bright red colour.
"Oh, hello Harry!" she exclaimed in her high pitched voice. Harry's blood began to pump through his body at a much faster rate. His exhilaration at Cho's approach was plain on his face, his cheeks turning an even brighter red.
"Hello, Cho" he mumbled with an embarrassed smile. "What brings you here?"
"I was heading to my Herbalism class but I'm afraid I'm extremely lost!" Her voice was just a small whisper amongst the deafening gale, but Harry was still mesmerised by its splendour.
Realising that this was the perfect opportunity for him to spend some time with Cho, Harry immediately thought of a plan to get them alone in a quiet room.
"Come with me" Harry said over the storm's bellows. "I'll take you to the class"
Together Cho and Harry walked through the empty court-yard and the pelting rain to the Herbalism class-room. There were two paths ahead leading in separate directions. Harry took Cho down the path away from the Herbalism class-room. He opened the third door they passed and quickly closed it as soon as they were safely out of the rain.
Cho and Harry sighed together, glad for the quiet and peace. Harry looked around at the room, faking confusion. "Oh, we seem to have gone in the wrong room" he said.
"I don't care anymore. I'm just glad to be out of the rain" piped Cho. She sat on the two-seater couch in the corner. Harry followed her and sat by her side.
Cho and Harry gazed at each other for a long moment, neither the slightest bit embarrassed anymore. Cho was the first to giggle and a shy smile spread across her face. She averted her eyes to her knees and began humming.
Harry's left hand slowly reached across Cho's back and around her shoulder. When his hand touched her, Cho shivered at the impact but relaxed again almost instantly. She leaned closer to Harry and rested her head on his shoulder.
Both of them smiled, but they weren't shy smiles.
They remained silent. There was no need for meaningless chatter between the two lovers.
