Chapter 6: Looking Good

 

The next morning at breakfast Cho sat at the table with her fellow Ravenclaws. Her and Harry had such a good time last night that she couldn't stop thinking about him. Harry, who was seated at the Gryffindor table, was thinking about Cho and that kiss she gave him the night before. It was just a kiss on the cheek but either way, it sent sparks through-out his whole body. After snapping out his thoughts he noticed the table was quiet in a weird way. He realized Mabelee was missing.

 

"Has anyone seen Mabel?" he asked loudly so the whole Gryffindor table could hear.

Some girls began to giggle and one of them said, "She's fixing herself up..."

"What? She's what?" asked Harry in confusion.

 

The girl opened her mouth to answer when at that moment the doors of the Great Hall opened and in walked Mabelee. But it sure didn't look like Mabelee. She had on pink high heels, she had her robes open so that you can see her pink skirt and shirt, and she had left her hair down. She began to walk towards the Gryffindor table, limping a little because she wasn't so great when it came to heels. Almost everyone was staring at her in surprise because they never saw Mabelee dress like THIS.

 

She reached Harry and smiled saying, "Scoot over a bit Harry." Harry just stared at her and finally...he burst out laughing and so did the rest of the table.

"Pink is NOT your color. Is this some sort of a joke?!" he managed to say while laughing.

"What...what..." mumbled Mabel as her eyes began to fill with tears.

 

She looked at Harry one last time who was laughing so hard that he was almost in tears. She turned on her heel, and almost fell while doing so, and ran as fast as she could out of the Great Hall. She reached the Gryffindor common room and sat down beginning to cry.

 

"He doesn't like me....he never will...get over it...." she thought to herself while kicking her heels off. She began to look for a tissue so that she could wipe the mascara that was streaming down her cheek.

"Need a hand?" said a voice behind her. Mabelee turned and saw Cho. She realized she had left the portrait hole open.

 

"No..." she mumbled, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I will never be as pretty or girly like Cho..." thought Mabelee to herself. Cho came towards Mabel, took out a tissue, and began to wipe Mabelee's tears.

"Why....why did everyone laugh at me?" mumbled Mabelee.

"Because their all idiots..." replied Cho.

 

"She's right, I was the biggest idiot out of all of them." said a male voice behind them. Both girls turned to find Harry. "I'm sorry Mabel. I didn't mean to laugh. I wasn't thinking...about how your feelings would be hurt..." continued Harry.

"Oh Harry!" said Mabelee and she ran to Harry and threw her arms around him, and she began to cry all over again. Harry hugged Mabelee as he patted her hair down. 

 

All the while, Cho was watching the pair of friends with a smile on her face. She knew that Harry and Mabelee had something special and she wasn't going to come and mess it up for them. She knew Harry liked her, and she liked him but today she learned that showing their affection for each other would just break all their hearts.
