Cho Chang's mind had cleared considerably after a good night's sleep. That was a good thing too, for it was her 25th birthday and she had to teach a group of 5th years that morning. She would have much rather stay in bed for another hour or so, but she couldn't. She slowly sat up, drew away the curtains of her bed and stood up. She walked to the other end of the room and looked at herself in the mirror. Her usually perfect hair stuck up in all directions and she had dark shadows under her eyes. She looked a mess. She sighed, picked up a comb and started stroking it through her long hair, strand by strand. After about 15 minutes, the mirror reflected the beautiful woman that Cho Chang usually was, not the mess she had been before. She quickly pulled on her emerald green robes, matching her eyes, and strode out her room to the Great Hall for breakfast. She took a seat next to Prof. Snape who quickly glanced at her and went back to talking with Prof. Sprout. She swallowed down 2 pancakes and then left the Great Hall for her classroom. She climbed up the three staircases and walked down the numerous hallways until she reached it. She got out her keys, shuffled through them for a few minutes until she found the right one, inserted it into the lock, but was surprised to see that the door was open. She slowly pushed it open and was under the impression that no one was in the room at first. But then she noticed a tall black figure standing at the other end of the room. She could only see the shadow, but the silhouette looked familiar. -Hello? she asked uncertainly.
The man at the other end of the room briskly turned around and looked at her. She gasped. The man was certainly very handsome. His black hair shot out in several direction from his tanned face, but it looked good nonetheless. Discreet black glasses framed his bright green eyes and there was a small, distinguishable scar on his forehead. It was Harry Potter.
-Cho? Is that you? Harry Potter asked in awe.
-It's me, allright." she replied "But what are you doing here?"
-I just wanted to see you again...It's been 7 years. And I came to give you a little gift, for your birthday, you know.
-Oh...That's really sweet of you, but could you possibly give it to me later? I have to teach, you see. she said, blushing.
-Of course. I was going to suggest that. Can I meet you in the Entrance Hall and 10:30 tonight?
-Allright...sure. A 5th year boy suddenly pushed open the door.
-Hmmm...I'd better go now then. I'll see you later, allright? he said smiling, and walking toward the door.
-Yea...Ok. Cho Chang replied, still blushing furiously. Harry Potter exited the room, leaving Cho looking very red and the 5th year boy looking totally confused.
