"Oh I am so sorry!" Cho cried. She pretended not to notice she just spilled coffee all down Harry's front.

"It's fine, really," Harry replied grimly.

"Harry?" Cho blinked. "I haven't seen you in years!"

"There's a reason for that," Harry rolled his eyes. He hated these schemes girls played to try and ask him out. They were all the same too. The coffee trick, the lost piece of jewelry trick (like they couldn't summon the darn thing!), and his personal favorite, the drowning on air trick. Girls were desperate to be with him. At least he had his own weapon to scare them off. And it wasn't his wedding band either.

"You know, I need to run over to the joke shop really quick to pick something up," Harry smiled. "Why don't you stay here and I'll come buy you another cup of coffee."

Cho smiled. The plan worked.
