Chapter 14
"Woah!"
"Eek!"
"Agh!"
"Schnikes!"
Crash!
"Oops…"
Harry looked around in a daze.
"Sorry, I forgot that those puppies've got a time limit," George apologized.
"Oi, George, Ron just said schnikes! We've taught him well!" Fred yelled from across the room. George turned red.
"We're fine, we landed on the couch. It was actually a thrilling surprise," Cho told George. Ron helped Cho up. This time he didn't let go of her hand. Cho didn't want to let go either.
"It woke me up. Ron was putting me to sleep with his sweet talk," Hermione smiled at Ron. They all sat down on the couch. The party continued, and Harry started to lose awareness. Padfoot's drink had a way of doing that, and soon everyone in Gryffindor tower was un cohesive, and started doing all kinds of strange things. Some were seing how long they could levitate themselves, others were making toasts to everything imaginable. Some simply tried to see how many cups of punch they could drink (A/N: Padfoot's Eighty is nonalcoholic. It just gives a kick and puts ya to sleep. Perfectly harmless, it is, unless you try to operate heavy machinery…). Cho and Harry just sat and talked about various things. Ron and Hermione dropped off, and Seamus and Monique were nowhere around. Students dropped to the ground, unable to fight sleep any longer. The music stopped, and the levitated items slowly came earthward. All Harry was conscious of was that he was sleepy, and he had slipped into a comfortable situation on something soft. Splashes of darkness washed over him, and he nodded off.
There was something there. On a stone pedestal. A Key. Sirius was behind it. Behind him were two others, unrecognizable. Behind those two were seven tall figures, draped in tan and brown cloaks. Out of the cloak sleeves hands held razor sharp rapiers, set ablaze. Piercing yellow eyes stared out from under the cloak hoods. And behind the cloaked figures was a girl, with boldly green hair and amber eyes.
"The key, Harry, here is the key," Srius said. Harry looked at him, not understanding. The dream faded out.
"Harry? I have to go. I just wanted to tell you something tonight…" It was Cho's voice. Harry was at the edge of sleep. He couldn't wake up, or react. But he could hear Cho. "I'm…I'm a secret keeper. For the Elcrys. I wanted to tell you. You fit in somewhere, I'm just not sure where. I wanted you to know. I want you to be more careful than ever before. I…I don't want to lose you." Something warm and moist was falling into Harry's hair. Cho was crying… "Take care of yourself…" Something warm and soft lighted on Harry's cheek. It gave him such a warm feeling inside, he fell deeper into sleep. He realized that Cho had just kissed him. He wanted to stop her. Where was she going? What was she doing? Don't leave! Don't leave! That's all Harry could think, He didn't want Cho to leave. But it was useless. He slipped back into unconscious sleep…
he came awake some time later. He looked around. Ron's head rose, and he looked around dazedly. "Look at all the dead soldiers," he mumbled in an uncohesive stupor. His head fell back to where it was, sleeping. Harry saw Fred looking at all the students, sleeping wherever they had been when suddenly dropping off.
"Where'd Cho go?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Mass," the reply came, "She kissed you Harry. You might want to go back to sleep. I think she wanted you to sleep longer," Fred advised sagely. Even as his words came forth, Harry fell back asleep. What was happening? Did all this mean that…Cho, who had feelings for Harry, was somehow connected to his creepy dreams, where Voldemort was searching for a mysterious girl and her guardians, who were kept safe by Sirius, who knew that strange animals were around Hogwarts, which were hunting in conjunction with…the twelve monkeys?!?! That had to be it!! No, no, that left out the figure standing next to Cho in the dream…so that was Cho! But why was this centering around her? Was it because he was madly in love with her? Wait, he was! He was madly in love with Cho!!! What if he lost her…
"Woah!"
"Eek!"
"Agh!"
"Schnikes!"
Crash!
