January Event (Level 3: Dudley Dursley/Cho Chang)
They didn't know whose family took it worse. His, for dating a witch. Hers, for dating a Muggle. It was ridiculous really the way they turned on them the moment they broke from expectations. Vernon Dursley had outright refused to allow Cho to sit at the dinner table anymore when he realized what she was. Mr. Chang had refused to let him in the door when he realized what his daughter's boyfriend was.
They didn't let that stop them though. Despite the constant hounding from their families, Dudley and Cho were moving easily through the stages of their relationship. It had been two years since they started seeing each other, and today was the next step.
The apartment was spacious, but nothing too extreme for the young couple. A bedroom, a living room, kitchen, bath, everything they needed. Furniture had just been moved in and she'd put the sheet on the bed only an hour ago. The apartment was quiet, the two of them standing in the front room, just breathing in the air.
"So," Dudley looked around the place, smiling at the pictures already on the wall, "what do we do now?"
"I don't know," Cho answered, her hand running over the back of the couch. "It's official. Our first place."
Dudley smiled. "Pretty sweet. You know, the sheet is fresh on the bed."
Cho turned towards him, smirking as she got his meaning. "I just put the pillow cases on. It would be a shame to wait to christen the place."
Dudley chuckled. Stepping forward, he slipped his arm under her, and lifted her off her feet. Cho chuckled.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
Already making his way towards the bedroom he said, "Being romantic. Is it working?"
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned in, her lips brushing against his neck. "It kind of is."
Dudley's response was to nudge the door open and enter into the bedroom. Without a word, he dropped her onto the bed. A second later, his lips were to hers. Pulling him towards her by the collar of his shirt, Cho smiled against his mouth.
This felt right. It was right. In that moment, the stress of the move, of their families, just everything washed away. It was her and him, and that was all they had ever wanted.
