Chapter 2: Peace treaties
By: Irish Pixie

Cho, loved dance
She had ever since she was a little girl, and she and her best friend Chizuko who dance for her grandmother. When she was nine she had the pleasure of going to the ballet and seeing Madame Rosé dance in the company
It was beautiful, and it made Cho want to be just like her ...
*
And now here she was, dancing along side her idol in peace in harmony. Their toes gliding along the hard wood floor as they leapt, twirled, and did what ever went with the music.
Two bodies dancing in perfect sync
But how did they get like this? From never on speaking terms to two professional dancers working as one?
*
*
(---------- Fast Forward 3:35 AM-----------(
*
"Pst, Cho get up you need to get ready for meeting the Madame" hissed Hermione as she jumped on to her roommates bed, making the body in it bob a little, before there was a small groan
"'Mo' ne G'roff"
"I'm sorry I can't hear you, when your face is stuffed in a pillow" called Hermione as she jumped again and tried to grab the blankets away from Cho who cried
"It's cold"
"Yeah and the shower will be even more so hurry up and get ready- cause it's now 3:47" said Hermione as she did a double take to look at the clock
"Whatever" mumbled Cho as she just lay there and Hermione frowned as he pushed Cho off the bed
"I mean it, up and going"
Cho grumbled as she glared at the brunette but did as told, and started to gather her clothes off the ground "And might I ask, what you're going to do for the remainder of the time?"
"Me, well I'm going to go back to sleep of course, ANY sane person would" said Hermione mockingly and Cho huffed as she stormed into the bathroom.
*
Twenty minutes later, Cho was wearing her pink tights and black silk jumper with her slippers draped over her shoulder. Her hair had been cut a couple days ago and now only went to her shoulders (and was currently up in a bun) meanwhile she had refreshed her face for the day and for this time and hour she looked pretty good.
Smiling she turned to open the bathroom door to find everything dark again and Hermione sound asleep, like she said, in her bed.
At this she rolled her eyes before glancing at the clock; 4:10 it flashed
//4: 10, not bad I mean it could be worse ... 4:10! Madame is going to kill me//
And zoom, what was once there was replaced by air as Cho raced out of the room and down the five floors she was on, to get to the dance studio. But for every second she spent where she was, another she was late by
*
"Cho, wait up"
Whipping around she saw a tall man, with raven hair and amazing emerald eyes, a lot like Madame Rosé's, giving a puzzled look she stopped and waited for the stranger to catch up
"Uh, do I know you?" asked Cho eyeing the man, he looked around 19 maybe 20, and he was at least a foot taller than her but one would have to admit he would get high marks in the 'looks category'
"Oh sorry, no- I'm Harry Potter. One of the dancers the Madame brought in she told me about you and what high expectations she had for you anyways she wanted me to tell you to meet in the cafeteria first" said the man also known as Harry and Cho nodded, sure it was odd but what the hell
"Great this way then" he added as they changed direction and headed towards the cafeteria/ food court of the malls, "So I saw you dance the other day"
Cho looked up as the sudden silence was broken and for some odd reason blushed, "Oh, that's very interesting"
"Uh, yeah but the Madame's right you do have the potential to go far" he commented and Cho smiled
"Really? That means a lot coming from a professional" said Cho
"Well don't your teachers tell you that all the time?" asked Harry confused
"Well yes- but their teachers it's in their job description and besides they say that to everyone so it doesn't really mean anything anymore" said Cho and Harry nodded watching her
"Your suit, it's very elegant I'm sure none of the other girls dress that well for just practice?" asked Harry and Cho's blushed deepened as she looked down- it was true it was more than just a practice suit there were small beads sewn in, and the cloth scrunched up at her breast and fanned out the rest of her body and such
"Yes well, my Grandmother taught me to dance and my mother taught me elegance so when I was accepted into school they were full out on all my wardrobes so I afraid this is as plain as they get" said Cho sighing
"You don't sound happy about it?" asked Harry and Cho shrugged
"It's nothing personal or anything but I don't really know you yet so I prefer not to spill my heart out" said Cho and Harry grinned like and idiot
"You are certainly just like the Madame, she said those exact words to her husband before they really got to know each other" said Harry and Cho frowned, the more she thought about it Madame Rosé was a big mystery to her
"Well here we are, come on she's by New Yorker's fries" called Harry as he sped over to a group of around eight dancers while the Madame sat in the middle of them
*
"Ah, Cho there you are I'm sorry for my inconvenience but the dancers wanted to come and of course how could I say no?" asked Madame Rosé as she looked at Harry who grinned once again
"It was no problem Madame, I'm sorry I'm late, Hermione kept bothering me" apologized Cho and the ballerina blinked at the girl's sincerity
"Yes well, Cho these are my good friends and the professional dancers I told you about; Harry Potter, Oliver Wood, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Katie Bell, Draco Malfoy, Lavender Brown, Blaise Zabini, and Marietta Edgecombe said Madame Rosé as she introduced all of the dancers by name
"It's a pleasure to have met you all"
"Yes, yes- Now Cho, darling before this whole thing begins I'd like to come to a little peace treaty, as I know you're a little edgy around me, but also we need to drop the whole teacher/ student appearance and become friends. We also need to learn trust and work as a team. So now I'm asking nicely of you Cho would you please come up to the line and met me half way?" asked Madame Rosé and Cho smiled with a small nod
She didn't know what possessed her to, as it was not so long ago she had dreaded class cause of the teacher but now she was siding with her, and agreeing to an alliance
It was insane, but yet again you couldn't really say 'No' with all these faces on her (well she could, be maybe she just didn't want to)
"Excellent!" cried the Madame as she moved over some so Cho could also take seating on the bench "Now that it's settled to things one place call be Rose as Madame gets a little irritating after a while and will be seeing a lot of each other and next I have the manuscript for the dance and I'm needing so help going over a few things- thus the reason for this small gathering"
Cho smiled at the ballerina as she leaned forward to input some of her own ideas and that's how it went, the boundaries of teacher and student had melted away and now sat two friends .......
*
*
"Alright Cho I want you to show me what you have so far" called out Rose as they long last entered the dance studio after an hour and a half of working on the manuscript (though it was not dancing Cho had just as much fun)
"What?" asked the girl as she looked up from lacing her slippers on
"You know dance for me- you seem to be really good at it" said the Madame teasingly as a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth
"But I haven't prepared anything" protested Cho and the ballerina laughed as the dances took their seats on the side lines
"Non sense I've watched you lately when you stay behind classes- do that new routine you've been working on" said Rose as she glided over to the stereo and popped in some music from the exact piece they were doing (Dance of the Reeds; the Nutcracker()
"Oh I don't think I could- I haven't merely enough practiced enough and I could make a mistake and oh- it's not a good idea" said Cho and the ballerina sighed
"Cho, darling remember what I told the class yesterday?"
"To met you here for 2pm sharp?" asked Cho a little confused and the blonde sighed
"No, to have faith in your selves, and remember what I said to you yesterday in the dorm?" asked Madame Rosé
"Um- to smile and not take everything so easily and it would help me glide" guessed Cho and Rose nodded
"Good now I want you to take both those advices and listen carefully- now stand straight, shoulder tall. First pose, close your eyes. And listen to the music, nothing else but that, forget the moves your knew or routines concentrate on being one with the world and then go from there" said Rose and Cho's eyes snapped open as the music changed to 'Waltz of the Flowers' [The Nutcracker( also]
And she took her first step, leg straight as she placed the foot her in front of her and spun and then turned into a multiple of strides and eventually it all came together as a beautifully done piece of art work
*
Madame Rosé smiled as she watched the raven headed girl dance about the floor with out a care in the world, while the music's soft melody floated threw the room
"She's good Rose" commented Marietta as the rest of the dancers joined her by her desk
"Yes, she is if only she would believe so and then we would have another prima ballerina on our hands" noted Rose with a sigh as she saw Cho stumbled a bit and rushed forward to help the girl up
"Stupid weak ankles" muttered the girl and Rose smiled as she held a hand out
"Here, let us dance together and then you'll see what you were doing" offered Rose and Cho nodded as they took their positions before they let the music take over and soon they were dancing with such grace it seemed as if they could fly
*
So here we are, 6:24 Am and the two dancers have just stopped as well did the music ....
*
*
"That was wonderful" cried Alicia as she ran forward to greet the two, the others on her tail
"Yes well, I have a wonderful dance partner" said Rose as she looked at Cho who seemed to find the floor had a rather disturbing shine to it, you could see one's face
"Hey Rose, we should get going as Blaise over here needs to get his morning coffee or he'll never do well" said Draco and the other man glared (both seemed the same age as Harry)
"Very well, I shall all see you in time for my nest class, eleven year olds will be gingerbread men and I still have a lot to teach them" said Rose and the nine nodded before leaving the studio and the blonde turned to face her student
"It really was a pleasure to dance with you Cho, and I hope you could see that one day soon- but til then how bout we have a practice same time tomorrow and we could go over some more theory and such" suggested Rose and Cho nodded
"I'd like that"
"Good, here's free time you have about two hours before classes start, so get ready and remember smile" said Rose as she turned to her desk and Cho did
"Thank you again Madame Rosé-" but before the ballerina could correct her she was gone.
*
Rose smiled as she when to the CD player and switched the music to a classical piece by Beethoven, before she leapt up into the air
*
Cho watched in awe as she peeped threw the doorway, where her idol danced with such grace,
//One day I will dance like that, and make my family proud//
*
"You know it's not nice to spy on people" came a voice and Cho literally jumped ten feet in the air, before falling hard on her butt
"Ouch"
"Here-" said the voice as Cho looked up to see Harry offering a hand, which she took
"Thank you" came a small mutter from her, and Cho cursed in her mind she was beginning to act like Ginny
At this Harry grinned "No problem, so would you like to accompany me to a cup a coffee?"
"I wouldn't want to intrude-" began Cho but he shushed her
"Nonsense, and besides I would take it as an insult if you declined my offer" said Harry and Cho frowned but nodded
"Are you always this way with women?"
"Depends on who the woman is" replied Harry with that huge grin plastered on his face and Cho had to fight down a blush, something she had been doing to often lately (or since he appeared in her life)
"Lucky Me"
"Oh and a sense of humor anything you can't do?" asked Harry in a teasing tone and Cho blinked for a second considering the thought and Harry sweat dropped "A joke" he added dryly and Cho nodded but inside she was burning with humiliation
And lucky for her, it wouldn't be the last of it
*
*
"So have you been dancing long?" asked Harry as he sat across from her sipping his mocha while Cho had a French vanilla cappuccino- courtesy of Star Bucks Coffee
"Prying again" asked Cho with a small smile and Harry shrugged
"Well this was the purpose of this whole exchange, to take you for coffee, get to know you and then I could pry all I want" said Harry stupidly and Cho rolled her eyes as she raised her cup to her lips before putting it down, seeing something else that caught her eye. Well rather two other things, a brunette and red head waving madly and pointing to Harry and such and anything else to make a fool of themselves while Luna sat beside them playing with a bottle cap necklace she's made
"Is something wrong?" asked Harry noticing her sudden silence and she sighed nodded her head in the direction of three girls looking like complete idiots (well rather two of them) "Friends of yours?"
"Best" added Cho and Harry smiled as he waved them over, and faster than a blink of an eye the two girls had pulled up chairs on either side of Cho and Luna came over later with coffee for the three newcomers
"Hi, I'm Ginny Weasley and this is Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood were Cho's best friends- you are?" asked Ginny eyeing the green eye god
"Harry Potter, I'm one of t he dancers Madame Rosé brought in" said Harry as he also eyed Ginny before she broke out into a grin
"Well if there's other cutie's like you, count me in" squealed Ginny and both Cho and Hermione turned beat red with embarrassment while Harry slowly eased away
"Um- Cho it was nice talk we had, but I got to go keep Draco from killing Oliver but I'll pick you up for the movie at eight okay?" asked Harry and all the girls eyes turned on her and Cho looked down blushing
She knew Harry was putting her on the spot so she couldn't say no, and it was working, how'd she's give him a good tongue lashing tonight
"Uh yeah sure" muttered Cho as she played with the hem of her shirt (somewhere in time she had changed ^_^0)
"Great, well it was nice meeting you all" said Harry before he turned and left, leaving poor Cho all alone to face her questioning friends.
*
"I thought you said you were going to meet Madame Rosé and not some hot guy" asked Hermione, hands on hips and Cho groaned
//please, just kill me now//
"So care to tell us, what you guys were really doing before we got here?" asked Ginny and Cho's face got redder from the tomato it already was (if possible)
"What are you talking about, he invited himself. So what if he's hot he's just as annoying" grumbled Cho and the others giggled while Luna drank her coffee silently
"You know Cho, since there's no parents here someone will have to give you a talk on the birds and the bees" said Luna absentmindedly and Cho slurred out all of her coffee while it drove Ginny and Hermione into another hysterical fit of giggles
"LUNA!!!!!!"
"What?" asked the girl innocently, clearly not seeing how her words affected the Asian greatly with embarrassment and Cho sighed slumping back into the plastic chair, trying to drown out her sorrows in the cup of coffee that was slowly emptying
*
*
"So Harry, what exactly do you see in her?" asked Madame Rosé as she stared across to the boy in front of her
"I dunno, Auntie I just feel drawn to her for some reason" stated Harry and Rose smiled
"Your mother would be proud if she could see you today"
"Yeah too bad she's dead" said Harry bitterly and Rose frowned as she placed a hand on his
"Would it be too much to ask that you forgive her and your father and move on? There is too much good in this world to dwell on the past" said Rose in a comforting tone as she looked down at her nephew that her sister had left behind
"And who told you that?" asked Harry as he looked back over at Cho and her friends
"Does it really matter?"
"I suppose not- so when's the first practice?" asked Harry and Rose smiled softly as she went back to drinking her coffee, it was times like these she wished she could savor the moment forever
And that's what she did, cause she knew in time all the unanswered questions would be revealed and till then she'd wait patiently and welcome it with open arms
"Auntie?" asked Harry and Rose looked up
"Yes?"
"Thank You"
"Anything Harry, Anything"

"Best" added Cho and Harry smiled as he waved them over, and faster than a blink of an eye the two girls had pulled up chairs on either side of Cho and Luna came over later with coffee for the three newcomers
"Hi, I'm Ginny Weasley and this is Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood were Cho's best friends- you are?" asked Ginny eyeing the green eye god
"Harry Potter, I'm one of t he dancers Madame Rosé brought in" said Harry as he also eyed Ginny before she broke out into a grin
"Well if there's other cutie's like you, count me in" squealed Ginny and both Cho and Hermione turned beat red with embarrassment while Harry slowly eased away
"Um- Cho it was nice talk we had, but I got to go keep Draco from killing Oliver but I'll pick you up for the movie at eight okay?" asked Harry and all the girls eyes turned on her and Cho looked down blushing
She knew Harry was putting her on the spot so she couldn't say no, and it was working, how'd she's give him a good tongue lashing tonight
"Uh yeah sure" muttered Cho as she played with the hem of her shirt (somewhere in time she had changed ^_^0)
"Great, well it was nice meeting you all" said Harry before he turned and left, leaving poor Cho all alone to face her questioning friends.

"I thought you said you were going to meet Madame Rosé and not some hot guy" asked Hermione, hands on hips and Cho groaned
//please, just kill me now//
"So care to tell us, what you guys were really doing before we got here?" asked Ginny and Cho's face got redder from the tomato it already was (if possible)
"What are you talking about, he invited himself. So what if he's hot he's just as annoying" grumbled Cho and the others giggled while Luna drank her coffee silently
"You know Cho, since there's no parents here someone will have to give you a talk on the birds and the bees" said Luna absentmindedly and Cho slurred out all of her coffee while it drove Ginny and Hermione into another hysterical fit of giggles
"LUNA!!!!!!"
"What?" asked the girl innocently, clearly not seeing how her words affected the Asian greatly with embarrassment and Cho sighed slumping back into the plastic chair, trying to drown out her sorrows in the cup of coffee that was slowly emptying

"So Harry, what exactly do you see in her?" asked Madame Rosé as she stared across to the boy in front of her
"I dunno, Auntie I just feel drawn to her for some reason" stated Harry and Rose smiled
"Your mother would be proud if she could see you today"
"Yeah too bad she's dead" said Harry bitterly and Rose frowned as she placed a hand on his
"Would it be too much to ask that you forgive her and your father and move on? There is too much good in this world to dwell on the past" said Rose in a comforting tone as she looked down at her nephew that her sister had left behind
"And who told you that?" asked Harry as he looked back over at Cho and her friends
"Does it really matter?"
"I suppose not- so when's the first practice?" asked Harry and Rose smiled softly as she went back to drinking her coffee, it was times like these she wished she could savor the moment forever
And that's what she did, cause she knew in time all the unanswered questions would be revealed and till then she'd wait patiently and welcome it with open arms
"Auntie?" asked Harry and Rose looked up
"Yes?"
"Thank You"
"Anything Harry, Anything"
