Ch. 2

So Cho and I were pretty much going steady after that letter. However one day there was an event that shook me to my core, I thought I was going to lose Cho. And I fought like hell to make sure that didn't happen.

It was February 24th, 1995, the day of the second challenge. I knew ahead of time that something valuable to me was gonna be taken. But my assumption was that it would something like my broom or my portrait of Cho. I was closer with my 2nd guess as you'll soon find out.

So when heard the signal to go, I jumped into the water. First reaction; bubble head time, second; "damn, it's cold!" third; better start swimming. So I quit my whining and dove on in. it was weird seeing what the lake was like so far down. Half way down I figured I should light up. It was then that I noticed what the "objects" were. It was Cho, Hermione, some little girl in Beauxbaton Academy uniform (she looked kinda like a mini-Fleur now that I think of it), and that Weasley guy Potter hangs out with (forgot his name). First thought, "How in God's name am I gonna save Cho?" next thing I knew a bunch of mermen jumped me and shouting stupefy's and expeliliarmus's left and right. Next thing I saw was some half shark-half man creature charging at the chain holding Hermione, he grabbed her and swam to the surface. The mermen and I were both so surprised, we forgot we were fighting. I re-realized that sooner than them, which led me to back-fist punch-out one the mermen. (A/N: that's where you raise your fist at someone behind you and hit them.) Next thing I saw was the fish-boy form of Harry. I immediately assumed he took some gillyweed. "Not a bad idea actually" I figured. I also realized it had been 45 minutes and Fleur still wasn't here. I immediately decided that Harry or Myself had to save her sister, or cousin, or whatever the hell she was to her.

"JUST GO!" He shouted at me.

So I zapped Cho's chain off, snagged her, and swam for it. I didn't care what got in my way, I didn't care about winning, I didn't care about my own life, all I cared about was making sure I got Cho to safety. Turns I got my wish cause I was about 1 fricking minute short of winning. We stayed a little bit to make sure Harry got out alright. I noticed Fleur was really tense about the whole thing. I could tell she knew the little girl pretty well.

"It'll be alright," I told her, "Potter's endured more than you can imagine he can handle himself pretty well."

Cho gave a smile at that. Next thing we knew Harry burst out of the water, no longer in fish boy form and with Ron and Fleur's sister being carried by him. He looked like quite a site for sore eyes but all in all he looked good for a kid who had to carry 2 people out of the water.

Once they gave the results, Cho and I booked it. It was cold, and I wanted get Cho inside quick. I decided to take her to the Hufflepuff common room seeing as how it was closer than the Ravenclaw. And without thinking I took her into my dorm room. I set her down on my bed (I had carried to the room), I asked her to get under a blanket and take of her wet clothes seeing as how they were just gonna make her colder. I took of my shirt and my trunks and left my drawers on. Then my roommates left the room on me. And then Cho gave that look like she wanted to ask me something. Before she even spoke I said to her reassuringly "let's just do it now and think about it later." She nodded and took off the blanket. She walked up to me and took off my drawers. We kissed, I lifted her up, she wrapped her legs around my back, I walked her to the bed, and then… we became… intimate...
