Chapter 4: School

Lessons Cho

It's the first "official" day back,

And she's been inundated with homework,

Charms, Potions, Arithmancy, Transfiguration.

So it's lunchtime and she sits next to Roger,

In the library,

Madam Pince passing every now and then,

Eyeing them suspiciously,

Telling other students off.

She's got her transfiguration book open,

But she can't concentrate,

She's so sleepy.

Hair Roger

He's trying to do homework as well,

But he keeps sneaking glances at Cho,

Sitting beside him.

She suddenly rests her head against his shoulder,

And his heart skips,

The smell of her hair fills his nostrils.

Friend Cho

It's not like they're strangers,

He's been her captain since 3rd year.

She likes him,

He looks out for her,

He's a good guy.

Overprotective at times,

But good.

So this display of affection,

Only proves how comfortable,

She is with him,

To know that this is what they share,

Is a common bond of trust.

Hand Roger

Her hand is again,

Resting on the table,

And he curses,

Because it's the second time,

In like two days,

It's happened.

And he curses inwardly for his weakness,

He should just reach out and grab it,

Explain how he feels,

Yeah he looks at other girls,

And yes, he thinks they're cute,

But Cho's different somehow.

She just is.

Red Cho

Cho spies Marietta walking towards the table they are at,

A stack of books fall with a thump

On the wooden desk.

Marietta smiles,

Arm leaning on her schoolbooks,

And says sarcastically,

"What are you two lovebirds up to?"

Cho laughs,

But Roger turns red for some reason.

The bell for the second half of lunch rings,

And she reaches for her books,

Ready to go down to the Great Hall to eat,

Having missed out before.

And it's not like the homework session in the library,

Worked any miracles.

Crush Marietta

She takes the seat opposite Roger,

As Cho packs up her things,

And with a parting wave,

Exits the library.

Marietta stares at Roger,

Who is staring at the exit of the library,

"Err… Roger… Do you like Cho?"

Tell Roger

He turns to look at Marietta,

Red curls dipping elegantly across her face.

"Er.. Yeah, of course I like her, why?"

"No, I meant like like her, like her",

Came Marietta's reply.

He went still.

Marietta was pretty tight with Cho,

If he admitted it, would she tell her?

It would seem like the type of thing

That girls would do.

Yes Roger

Roger nods,

And Marietta gives off,

A high-pitched squeal,

And Roger sees several

First years scamper off.

Madam Pince,

The old bat,

Comes around and gives them a look,

Of pure contempt,

And shoos them out of the library,

Throwing their books out behind them.

Pie Cho

Cho sits at the Ravenclaw table,

Sunlight streaming through the enchanted ceiling.

She is pulling a Shepard's pie towards herself,

Fork in hand,

When a figure sits down next to her.

The Hufflepuff table is that way,

She smiles, pointing at the table opposite them.

Cedric laughs,

Nah, you looked lonely, so I came.

Just cause I'm alone, doesn't mean I'm lonely,

She counters.

Name Cedric

He doesn't reply,

But pulls out a piece of parchment,

From the depths of his robes,

He smiles,

"I'm entering the tournament,

…I want you to write my name"

She takes a quill from him,

Hand slightly shaky,

She doesn't even know why she's nervous.

Fire Cho

She watches the others one by one put their name in,

The goblet sparkles blue,

Watches Cedric put his name in,

And smiles.
