Chapter Six: By the Lake
*Cho's POV*
I woke up, 6:45, thank god. I was not late yet. I got dressed as quick as possible and went to the great hall. No time for breakfast, I went directly to the Perfects' Meeting.
I wasn't the last one, but not very early either, we waited until everyone got here and started the meeting. It only took about 45 minutes, then why you made us get up so early. I thought. I would have time to eat breakfast but didn't fell like it. As I was gathering my stuff, I felt a gentle tap on the shoulder. I turned, it was Harry.
"Mind if I have a word with you? He asked, full of nervousness and anxiety. I nodded and followed him out side by the lake.
"Cho, I'm really sorry for what happened to Cedric, really I am, will you forgive me?" he asked.
"I never said it was your fault, I don't blame nor hate you, really." I answered, looking into his eyes.
But there he was, not reassured by my words, "But then, why did you told me not to write to you anymore?"
"I thought I told you, my mom would read all my letter, and if she finds out about Cedric, I'm doomed." I said, feeling kind of funny.
"Oh, but why?" He asked, more relaxed.
"Well, my mom didn't know about Cedric, she doesn't want me to have a boyfriend." Suddenly, his little sunshine on his face fated. "So if my mom knows it, I'm in big trouble."
"Oh, I see, never thought of that." He answered. "So you don't hate me anymore?"
"I never did."
He grinned. "Well, would you, hum. Oh never mind, that's good enough.
"Harry, I… I…" I started.
"What?"
"Harry, I can't do this, I can't let you into this, I know you want to help. But I'm sorry. I, I guess I still love Ced, I can't let you into this…"
"Cho, I…" He cut me off, and so did I.
"Harry, let me finish, I'm sorry. I don't know how to say this, sorry about what happened on the train yesterday, I didn't know what I was thinking. I, I, guess I shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't say yes to you, I'm sorry."
"Cho, it doesn't matter, why don't you just let me try. Maybe it will work." Harry said hopefully. "I wanted to tell you this for a long time. Cho, I, I love you, I would do anything for you. Why don't you just give me a chance?" I stood there, not knowing what to do or what to say. I knew he would tell me some day, but this was all too soon. Finally I started.
"Harry, give me some time, I promise I will think about it, okay? I said.
"Alright, if you really don't want to, it's fine. I'm sorry if I offended you?"
"Okay, bye, got to get to class."
"Yeah, bye."
I walked back to the castle, there were two voices bugging me. Accept it, Cho, you'll learn to love him, he's so sincere and cute. But the other… no, don't dot that, Cho, you'll regret it. You don't want hurt Harry, do you?
I was so confused. What should I do? I don't know what were my feelings of Harry, yet I never had that kind of feeling before, not even with Cedric. Why was that? I didn't even realize I loved Ced until he died. But was it true? Am I just thinking Ced as a friend? I never had anyone close to me died before, was that the reason? Was he more like a brother that a boyfriend?
"Hi, Sis." I jumped as I heard the voice.
"You scared me," I said, a bit annoyed.
"Sorry, just wondering, how did it go?" He asked, rather seriously.
"It was fine, thank you. Now, leave me alone, if I don't get to class in five minutes, I'm doomed, and you too, go, run, quick!" I shooed him away and walked into my Potions class.
Two seconds after I walked into my classroom, the bell rang, whoo, close one. Professor Snape would definitely not let go of it if I were late.
