Confessions
The next morning Harry woke up at 6.30 in the morning. He got dressed and then went downstairs to wait for Hermione and Ron to get up. He sat in the common room on the couch in front of the fireplace. He was reading a book that was for Fred and George's class. It was called ' Everything you need and want to know on how to pull pranks.'
It was finally 7.00 when Harry heard someone coming down the stairs. He put his book down and watched the stairs. It was Ginny. Ginny looked over at Harry, smiled and muttered a little hello while blushing a little.
"Why hullo Ginny!" said Harry.
"Hello Harry," Ginny answered back. Harry watched as Ginny went and sat down with a group of her friends. After about five minutes their little group got up and walked downstairs to have breakfast. Harry wished that Hermione and Ron would get up soon so they could eat.
When Hermione got up it was about 7.15. She got her robes on and went down to the Common room. She couldn't wait to go down to breakfast and get her scheduel. She was back to a normal scheduel. When Hermione got down to the Common Room she saw Harry and sat next to him. They talked while they waited for Ron.
Ron got up at 7.30 and went down to the Common room. He saw that Harry and Hermione were waiting for him. So he ran back upstairs and got dressed. When he finally came back down he greeted them with a cheerful wave.
"Hullo guys!" he said as he walked into the room.
"Oh, finally your awake," replied Hermione.
"Well, you would sleep until 7.30 if you didn't fall asleep until 12 at night!" argued Ron.
"Can we just go down and eat?!" asked Harry.
"Oh sure!" answered Hermione a little quickly.
They went down to breakfast. On the way they passed Ginny and her friends. Harry looked straight into Ginny's eyes as she did his. They looked at each other until they finally passed each other. Ron could tell something was up.
"Harry. Why were you looking at my little sister like that?" Ron asked.
"Like what? I wasn't looking at her," Harry shot back.
"Ok. Yeah whatever," Ron replied.
He didn't want to start a fight with Harry this early in the year. When they got to the Great Hall they took their seats at the Gryffindor table. While they were eating, they got their scheduels. They looked them over. Ron and Harry had all the same classes, while Hermione had one class different then them. Their first class was DADA. Again they had a new teacher. This time the professor was, Professor Raker. They all wondered how he was and how he would do with the class. Later that day they had Charms, with tiny Professor Flitwick. They had History and Transfiguration. Then Herbology and Care of magical Creatures. Then they had Potions and Divintion on the same day, while Hermione had Muggles Studies. Finally on Friday they had Fred and George's class. The Art of Pranks.
"Well, we had better get going to our classes," said Hermione.
"Yeah. Ok," replied Ron.
"Hey! I'll catch up with you guys later ok?" Harry told Hermione and Ron.
"Yeah. Ok," replied Ron again.
Ron and Hermione walked away while Harry stayed at the table a little longer. He was waiting for Cho to finish her breakfast so that he could walk her to her class. She was finally done. So Harry got up and walked over to her.
"Hello Cho. Ready for class?" Harry asked.
She hesitated.
"Yeah, I guess so!" she finally replied.
Harry took her hand in his and they set off towards their classes. Cho's first class was Charms. So Harry walked her to the Charms classroom. Before he let go of her hand he gave Cho a kiss on the cheek. But she didn't return it.
"Bye! Have fun!" Harry said as she walked into her class.
Harry had to run to his class to not be late. When he had gotten to his seat the bell had rung. In the class today they were learning about how to treat curses out in the wild. After class was done they all went back up to the common room. Harry told Hermione and Ron about what happened today. He was really frustrated. And Hermione and Ron could tell. So they tried to comfort him as much as possible.
"Well, maybe she just didn't want to go to class," said Hermione hopefully.
"Yeah maybe that's it," said Harry. "Oh Hermione! Why weren't you made Prefect?"
"Oh that?" she didn't mind talking about this as long as it kept Harry from thinking about Cho. "I didn't even get a chance! McGonagall didn't even ask me! Remember last year, near the end of the year, when Mcgonagall called me and Dean over? Well she said that she was to pick the Prefects then. And that it was very close. She looked at me and I really thought it was me. But then she said 'I'm sorry Hermione' and so that's why I had that mood!"
"I'm so sorry Hermione!" Ron apologized.
"Don't worry about it!" Hermione said.
Ron never wanted to hug Hermione more. He gathered up all of his courage and he turned rather pink. He leaned over and hugged Hermione. Hermione was taken by surprise. But she hugged Ron back anyways. Harry watched, but wasn't surprised. He knew that Ron had like Hermione for a long time. He thought about hugging Cho. Maybe that's all that she needed.
"Ron! Why'd you decide to hug me?" asked Hermione.
"Well, I thought it was obvious. But I have liked you for a long time Hermione! And right now seemed like the best time to tell you!" answered Ron.
"Oh Ron!!" stated Hermione pulling him back into a hug. "I've liked you too!"
Harry was getting a little annoyed now. He wanted to see Cho. So he told the other two that he'd meet them at dinner. He set out to find Cho. He knew she was in Potions but that didn't matter. Any minute it get out and he'd be able to talk to her. She had double potions with Hufflepuff.
When the bell finally rung Harry stood by the door. He waited for Cho to come out. She was practically the last to come out. But she wasn't alone. She was walking with Stephen Holling. Harry nearly exploded.
"Hey Cho!" Harry said casually.
"Hi Harry," she muttered blushing.
"What's going on Cho?" asked Stephen. "Oh Hello!" He said finally seeing Harry. He stuck out a hand but Harry didn't shake it.
"Yes, Cho. Tell us what's going on!" Harry shot. "What are you doing with... with him?" He pointed at Stephen.
"Ummm... well Harry. Err... You see. Stephen is really nice. And we were just working as partners but then I really liked him and... well now we're... well..."
"Going out?!" Harry finished her sentence for her. "Yeah. Got a problem with that?" asked Stephen.
"Yeah! I do!" Harry spat. "What about me Cho?"
"What about you Harry?" asked Stephen.
"She was mine first!" Harry yelled.
"Oh. Well now she's mine!" shouted Stephen.
"Oh Harry! I'm so sorry!" Cho said apologetically.
"Yeah, well tell it to him!" he pointed at Stephen, who had put his hands around Cho's waist.
Harry stalked off angerly.
"Harry! I'm sorry!" Harry could hear Cho call after him.
"Let him go!" scoffed Stephen.
Harry looked back and saw Cho trying to get away and Stephen holding her by her hand. He didn't care. He had no appitite now so he went to his room. He lay on his bed thinking about what just happened. Now he knew why Cho didn't return his kiss. Why she had been so embarrassed to hold his hand. Why she was acting weird. She didn't want Stephen to know that Harry was really her boyfriend. Harry fell asleep with all these thoughts flying through his head.
