Hey everyone! This is my fourth fic, third HP one! It's a H/Hr and L/R fic, hope y'all like it! I don't know how to do italics when my fics are published, so anything the characters are thinking are in ~ these things ~. Hope y'all understand. Oh and one more thing, in this fic, its their 5th year, but Cedric didn't die. That's all for now, please r/r!

"Aww c'mon Harry. Just one more game!" Ron begged Harry to play another game of Wizard's chess with him. "A tie breaker! This time I can win!" Ron said. Harry shook his head. "Sorry Ron, I told Cho that I would meet her!" And with that Harry was gone.

Hermione looked over her book Standard Spells Year 5. Ron looked at Hermione and sighed. Ever since Harry and Cho started to go out (3 months ago, the second week of school) Harry was impossible to reach. It was like Cho had him on a chain, jerking him wherever he went.

Hermione gave Ron an exasperated look. Hermione admitted to Ron last year that she liked Harry. Ever since then, Ron and Hermione had become more of friends than either of them was to Harry.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, at first I thought you weren't going to show up!" Cho said to Harry. He smiled and said, "Well, Ron's offer of another game of Wizard's chess DID sound tempting." Harry said sarcastically. Cho hit him in the arm flirtatiously. "Oh stop that! C'mon, lets go take a walk."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione was just about to say something to Ron about Harry when Lavender walked by, sitting in the seat that Harry once sat in. "Oh, Wizards chess! I love this game, do you wanna play?"

"You? Wizard's chess? NEVER!" Ron said shocked. "Of course, what did you expect, Barbie dolls?" Lavender laughed. Ron grinned at her. While him and Hermione were expressing their love interests, Ron mentioned Lavenders name. Well, okay, he told Hermione that he liked Lavender since their third year.

He told Hermione how devastated he was when he heard that Lavender already had a date for the Yule Ball in their fourth year, and that's why he had a really lousy time. Throughout the Ball it might have looked like he was watching Hermione and Krum but in fact he was watching Lavender and Seamus, who were right next to Hermione and Krum.

Lavender and Ron played three games, Lavender winning all of them. Ron vowed that he would beat her one of these days, she could count on it. Hermione was tired of watching them flirt so she decided to go up to the girl's dormitory and write in her journal.

~ Hermione's journal ~

So Harry is gone again, I can't stand it! Why does he like her? I mean yeah she is pretty and all, and I guess she is nice, oh what am I saying. She is perfect for him! I should be happy for him, because I am his friend. It doesn't feel like I am lately, but I am! But then, why do I feel attracted to him?

Ron has told me that Harry seems different for the past week or so. Not talking as much about Cho. Maybe a fight? Well, if they were in a fight, they aren't anymore, he just went to talk to her. Oh I don't know I shouldn't even be worrying about this; he will think nothing more of me that just a friend, if even that!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Soo Harry, talk to your 'friend' lately?" Cho was referring to Hermione. She didn't think too highly of Hermione. "Yes, as a matter of fact. I don't know why you don't like Hermione, she's done nothing wrong, has she?" Harry questioned Cho as they walked along the perimeter of the lake.

"Oh no, nothing like that, its just, I dunno how to explain it, oh just forget it!" Cho said. Harry smiled. "I know why you are so flustered, you are jealous!"

Cho pushed him away and said, "Yeah, right! Like I could be jealous of that, that, mudblood!"

Harry looked at her in disbelief. "What- what did you just say?" Cho looked as shocked as Harry did. "I- I didn't mean to, I mean, I don't think of her that way, I- I." Cho was at a loss for words.

"Lets just say goodnight for now, I don't think spending any more time together is going to be constructive. Bye Cho." Harry left her in a hurry.

~ How could she say that? The only other person that has called her that was Malfoy, and you would expect it from him, but from Cho? ~

Harry ran up to the Gryffindor Tower and yelled the password (Hungarian Horntail) to the Fat Lady and she opened the portrait as she let out a huge burp ("So sorry laddie, had a bit much to drink, hic, so just excuse me!")

Harry saw Ron and Lavender playing a game of Wizard's chess, and he saw the Weasley twins in a corner, making a whole bunch of noise, blowing things up, but no where did he see Hermione.

Shocked that he WAS looking for her, he hurried up to his dorm and found his journal. He had kept one ever since Dudley through away one when he got it as a birthday present at the age of nine.

Harry started writing swiftly.

~ Harry's Journal ~

Cho, oh, sometimes I don't even know why I am going out with her. I think maybe she is the first girl I liked, starting in the fourth year, and its just a stereotype, oh man, this is too hard to explain. She is the first girl I liked, so I think that she is the only girl I should like (in my subconscious of course).

For some reason lately Cho and I have gotten into a lot of fights. I know that's normal for couples to fight and all, but these fights are different, all for one reason. They are all about Hermione. I don't know exactly why Cho hates Hermione so much, but every time that subject comes up, it ends horribly.

The scary thing for me is that I think that I might be, well, you wont believe this, but I might be actually falling for Hermione. Mind you I haven't talked, like really talked with her in a while, but I don't know. I catch myself watching her every move. They way her hair gets in her face when she reads and she tucks it behind her ear, all that sort of stuff.

Oh what should I do? I mean, Cho and I aren't getting along too well anyway, oh man, I would rather face Voldermort any day!
