Chapter 2: Trouble at Diagon Alley
Set at Year 5, Order of the Phoniex

Cho and Harry have not had their Christmas kiss yet.

A wet and cold free afternoon had been sacrificed to Diagon Alley to drink. (and do normal stuff) Ron and Hermione had gone to Three Broomsticks, (probably bickering, already) and Harry had promised to catch up. After all, he'd been deterred by a prank played by Peeves involving a whole cauldron full of dirty afternoon was dim and misty, his only thought was getting into the Broomsticks.

His mind was occupied on food when suddenly-

"auhhhhhhhhh!" A strange sound, a scary one filled his ears.

Harry yelled in surpriseand grabbed for his wand, but it was still stowed safely in his pocket. He edged around the cobblestoned street, and saw the source of the sound. A hooded figure was advancing towards him, his face and features invisible under the whirl of black.

Harry held up his wand, shaking. "Who are you?" He glanced around him for someone to help. Unfortunately, the Alley was completely deserted, all the students and teachers alike cozied indoors.

"Potter..." The voice hissed. It seemed to come from the back of his mind. The creature's hands appeared, gnarled and slimy and Harry almost yelled again. Dementors. A cold feeling of hopeless dread filled his stomach. Life's all hopeless, Harry. What's the point of trying? Just give up and let...

A cold splash of rainwater jerked him to his senses. Hescrounged in his mind for his happiest memory, took a breath, and yelled with all his might, "EXPECTO PATROANUM!" The stag which usually served as his patronus did not appear. The dementor was nearly on top of him. He almost yelled the hex again when a female voice cried out and a silver swan dove into his vision, andthe dementor was gone. Cho Chang leapt deftly off a stray table and hurried over to him.

"Harry! Are you all right?" She asked.

"Quite." Harry thought hard. The mysterious dementor must have been summoned-"

Cho laughed slightly and dropping her things, stepped up to pull him into a hug.

"Erm, thanks for saving my life." Harry said, blushing. "Who summoned that dementor any-"

His question was immediately answered as a furious looking Professor McGongdall was dragging along a group of students up to the castle. He spotted a smirking Pansy P. In front- Crabbe and Goyle were fuming at Pansy with a look that read look what trouble you got us in, you idiot.

"THE SECOND TIME, YOU LOT!" McGongdall roared. "SUMMONING DEMENTORS TO SCARE STUDENTS? FIRST THE QUIDDITCH MATCH AND NOW THIS-GET YOURSELVES UP THE CASTLE, A HUNDRED POINTS FROM SLYTHERIN!"

After a long laugh, Cho straightened. "Well, I'll be going," Cho said. "I agreed to meet my friends at the Three Broomsticks." She turned away.

"Not leaving-until you give me a kiss." Harry remarked, folding his arms.

Cho sighed and smiled at him. She tilted her face to touch her lips to his, then paused. "Why in the name of Merlin do you want to kiss me?"

Harry touched a lock of silky black hair, causing Cho to blush. "Why wouldn't I want to kiss the girl that saved my life?"

And he finally kissed her, and joined her to the walk to Three Broomsticks.
