-Chapter 3-Deep Breath
Cho went back to her room to get changed and then headed down to breakfast in the Great Hall.
Should I go up to him during breakfast? At his table? Or wait until everyone is heading out? Cho thought on her way down, Oh I'll think about it when I finish breakfast!
When she finally reached the Great Hall she searched the Hall for Harry. There he was sitting next to that Weasley. His name beagan with an R...Ralph? Wait-no-Ron...yeah thats the one. He was also sitting next to that Hermione girl...he always hung out with her. He didnt like her did he? Oh he better not! Cho thought with a twinge of jealousy. Then those brillient green eyes flashed her way. Her heart skipped a beat and shw quickley looked at something else. Then she quickley walked to the Ravenclaw table and ate breakfast.
Throughout breakfast there were more quick glances Harry's way. I can go up to him. What am I so scared about? Deep breath...ok ready... Then she rose from her seat and headed towards the Gryffindor table.
When she got there, Ron and Hermione were bickering amoungst eachother and Harry just had a tired look upon his face as if to say 'here we go again...' No one seemed to notice her standing there. So finally she got up the courage to to 'Ahem...Harry?'
Harry turned around, obviousley surprised to see her standing there. 'Er...um...hi...er,' he finally managed to say but with great difficulty.
'Um...I was wondering...well...I ...can I talk to you...alone?' There was a little 'oooo' from Ron and Hermione.
Harry glanced their way and then said 'Sure."
They walked out of the Great Hall and walked down a corridor a little ways. Harry looked somewhat confused and then asked 'So...er...wat did you want to talk to me about?'
'I know this might seem....akward...but Harry-I like you.'
When he heard this he nearly fell over. 'Um...er...yeah....what?'
Cho was no blushing and getting all flustered. 'I like you. I've just felt guilty...Cedric died a-' she paused for a minute and looked away, 'I'm sorry...but he...you know...you were there...only a little while ago. I guess I didnt know if I should move on just yet...but I think its time that I did...'
Harry seemed to be at a loss for words and then said bluntly, 'Are you asking me out?'
'Er...well...yes...that is if you want to date me...'
'Of course! I mean, yes. I would love to go out with you.'
'Oh Harry!' and she gave him a great hug. 'I feel so much better now that I've actually asked you!'
'I'm glad that you asked me!' Harry said with a little chuckle, 'I didnt think you would every like me.'
'Should we go back to the Great Hall now? Ron and Hermione will be wondering waht has happened to you.'
'Yeah, lets go.'
As they walked close together back to the Great Hall, their hands found eachother. So they walked, hand-in-hand, back to the Great Hall. When they got there, they went to their separate tables and acted as if nothing had happened.
When Harry sat down, Ron and Hermione started firing questions at him. He couldnt pick which one to answer first and plus they were getting all jumbled together with them talking at the same time. 'Whoa-hold on! Just one question at a time!'
Ron blurted out, 'What did she want?'
'To talk'
'I know that much! But what about?'
'Me and her.'
Now Hermione piped in, 'Together? You two are going out?'
Harry started blushing and finally said 'yes.'
'You owe me 2 Sickles Hermione!'
'Argh...fine...'
'I knew it! So-excited?' Ron said after collecting his prize money.
'What do you think? Of course I am! I've liked her for a long time. Didnt ever know she liked me.'
'Me either...thought she was still hung up on Cedric...' Ron said.
'Come on you two! We have double potions! If we're late, Snape will kill us for sure!' Hermione said after glancing at the clock.
After much grumbling they finally got up and headed out of the Great Hall. Harry glanced at Cho who smiled and waved. He wasved back to her. 'Oh brother...' Hermione mumbled under her breath.
'What was that Hermione?' Harry asked.
'Nothing...lets go.'
Cho went back to her room to get changed and then headed down to breakfast in the Great Hall.
