Cho the Ho with Harry.Or are they?

Chapter 1

After everything that was going on at the moment in the wizarding world, Harry had a lot on his mind. The fear of what was yet to come lay in the air. He had bound in his mind Hagrid's words of wisdom: "What will come will come, and we'll meet it when it does." His spirits were a little lighter now that time had past. He was leaving Kings Cross station, where there stood Uncle Vernon waiting for him. He said his good-byes and was even a little surprised when Hermione kissed him. He felt kind of odd about this but knew it was just in light of everything. But because of earlier events that had happened at school, Harry felt himself relive them.

The time was the night of the third task. Harry had calmed down a little as he listened to Dumbledore speak. He couldn't help but glance over at Cho to see her reaction as Dumbledore toasted to Cedric's death. He noticed her silent tears streaming down her face. He couldn't help but feel dead sorry for her.

Cedric had been her boyfriend. After seeing the look and tears on her face, he felt a sudden urge. He felt he should be next to her, comforting her. He decided it was best to act soon. After the banquet. When everyone had filled their stomachs as much as they could in spite of everything, people began to leave. He noticed Cho reluctantly get up. He stayed behind and told Ron to go on without him. Cho was picking up her bag as Harry walked over. "Er, excuse me. Cho?" Cho looked up startled and hurriedly wiped her eyes. Harry looked down. He supposed this wasn't the time to speak to her. But then. "Thank you so much Harry." Said Cho. "Uh?" Harry replied. "You tried to save Cedric. You saved his body, I mean, you risked your own life to return his body to us." Cho explained. Her eyes filled with tears again. "I felt I at least owed it to him." He honestly didn't know what else to say. He didn't even know why he had spoken to her. He just felt he had to. "So, are you OK? I honestly hate to see you sad like this." Harry felt himself go red as he said this. "Really? Well, I am upset. All of this is just such a shock. This wasn't supposed to happen!" As she said this, she turned and started to cry.

Before he knew what he was doing, he grabbed her shoulder, pulled her around and started to half hug her and half hold her. He wasn't even sure she wanted him to hold her, but miraculously she held his arm and cried into his shoulder. He didn't know what to do next. He muttered into her ear, "It's all right. Everything's gonna be OK." "I'm so scared. It's not just that Cedric is gone, but that Voldemort is back. No one knows what's gonna happen." As she said this, Harry felt a twinge of fear. He pulled her away to look at her. She looked back into his eyes. "Listen, I'm scared too. But Dumbledore has a plan. If we have Dumbledore on our side, we have a pretty good chance." He smiled at her. She smiled back and said, "Harry, why do you want to cheer me up so much? Why do you care?"

Harry didn't know what to say. Then as if someone was speaking for him, "Well I like you. I mean I don't want to see you sad. I don't want to see your beautiful face so worried." "What? Um, really?! I well, um I kind of liked you too. It's just, I didn't think you liked me as well so I gave up. But know I know you're really sweet." Before Harry could reply, Cho bent down and kissed him on the lips for about two seconds. Harry stood there thunderstruck. He heard a cry from behind them and realized they weren't alone. Ron had just walked in looking for Harry. Cho blushing, hurried out with a muttered good-bye. Harry walked up to Ron. Before Ron could say anything, harry just told him, "Our lives are changing very rapidly huh?"

He was back at Kings Cross. He walked toward Uncle Vernon. Even the look on his uncle's face couldn't ruin his thoughts. What was yet to come would come. If only Harry and the rest knew how much better their chances were against Voldemort.

Well? Reply please!
