Harry Potter and the Legend of the Cabalis Nocturnum
Cho looked at Harry's reply, she smiled and jumped for joy, then she realised that everything needed to be ready for his visit, hopefully this will take my mind off of those strange dreams inside that opera house, Cho thought. What she didn't know that the knowledge of Harry's treatment was from a dream inside that opera house…
Harry looked at his watch, Cho would be there in five minutes, he looked down at the green shirt he was wearing over a white T-shirt, he briefly considered changed when he smelt his breath, it was awful, he immediately went to the bathroom to clean his teeth.
While he cleaned his teeth he wondered who had told Cho about his treatment, a strange thought then entered his head that dream in the opera house… No, that's just a dream Harry get a grip.
Cho ran down the street as fast as she could given the fact she was wearing sandals, she had been practising karate and lost track of time, she used to use it to clear her head before doing homework, but after the triwizard tournament she had struck at it with a new fashion and was now a black belt, she checked her watch, it was a golden plated muggle wind up watch, an antique, Richard, her families banker had bought for her birthday, good she thought, she was just on time.
She reached the house and rung the bell, after a minute as small fat teenager about Harry's age opened the door.
"Hello is Harry there?" Cho asked while swallowing some bile because of the way Dudley was looking at her.
"There's no Harry here-"before Dudley could continue Harry's voice rose over his cousins.
"Cho!" Harry ran down the stairs as fast as he could while still caring his stuff. "You got here then?"
"Of course I did, does your uncle know that you're going?" Cho asked as she took one of Harry's bags off him and put it on her own shoulders.
"Yeah he knows that I'm going," Harry told Cho, a smile still plastered on his face he turned to Dudley. "Look Dudley, tell Vernon that I've gone okay"
The two non muggles walked out of the house and Harry turned to Cho, "By the way you look fantastic," he whispered in her ear, she shivered and led them out of the street towards a nearby park. "Cho, one question, how are we getting out of here?"
"I'm going to apperate us home," seeing Harry's confused face she explained that she had passed the underage magic line and her family's security chief had taught her how to apperate.
Harry couldn't believe what his senses were telling him as Cho wrapped her arms around him, she whispered hold on, and then they disappeared from the empty park…
…and reappeared in front of a large building which reminded Harry of Westminster Abby, Cho led Harry to the front door and knocked before turning to Harry.
"Look there is something you should know, we've been doing some renovation work, and none of the guest rooms are ready, so you've got to stay in my room," she told him and sensing what Harry was going to say before he opened his mouth. "It's no trouble and there's no way I'm going to let you go back to those muggles, I heard the made you live in a cupboard under the stairs for years."
Just as Harry was about to answer the door opened and a bald man with a goatee looked out.
"Ah Cho, and this must be Harry Potter, it's a pleasure to-" the man growled as a muggle telephone in his hand began to ring he looked at the number and then looked at Harry and put out his right hand. "As I was saying, my name is Richard Philease and I'm their banker, if you'd like to come in, Cho I trust you can find your way to your room along with Mr Potter here,"
Before Cho could answer Richard picked up his phone and walked off.
"Sorry about that Richard's been in a bad mood since my parents went away, and of course there's the staff change here, our deputy of security's leaving, not quite sure where to and to top that our main security advisor is on a holiday, and with all the renovations his quite busy. This way"
With that Cho took Harry's hand and took him through the large house on the way to her own room, she briefly glanced back at Harry to see his eyes darting about the place taking everything in, he was obviously impressed at the building.
"And here we are," she said once she reached the door to a room, she glanced at Harry who was smiling at her. When they entered Harry was shocked, in the centre of the room was a massive double bed about ten metres long, the room clearly had an en suite. Cho just smiled as Harry gazed around the room.
"Wow," Harry said, in truth he couldn't think of anything else at the large room, Cho walked towards and took the handle for his bag out of his hands, this seemed to snatch him out of his trance as he turned to Cho and once again found himself spellbound, she looked breath taking in her slightly damp Karate kit and her hair blown by the wind. Harry instinctively reached out a hand and caressed her cheek, Cho closed her eyes and leaned into his hand with a smile on her face. They were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door, the quickly moved into a more neutral position each and looked as Philease pocked his head through the door.
"Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds but don't you want to introduce Harry to the overs," Philease said with a smile as Cho and Harry blushed. Once he saw their reaction he crept out of Cho's room and down the corridor.
Note, if you didn't realise Cho's home looks like the Sanctuary.
