~Chapter Two: The Greater the Expectation Is, The Greater the Disappointment Will Be~

Just as Harry closed his eyes and about to sleep, BANG! He opened his eyes in alarm. A tiny brow owl was by the window. "Who's owl is it?" Harry thought. He went to open the window, the owl flew in, he untied the letter and it flew away.

"Oh, my lord!" Harry said as he unfold the letter:

Dear Harry,
It's Cho, I heard it's your birthday, hope they gave me the right information. Well if it is, Harry Birthday. How are you? Hope you are fine. I wanted to find a person who really understand me to talk to. All my friends think I'm sad. True, I am sad about Cedric, it's just not like the way they think I am. I am NOT Cedric's girlfriend, they jsut won't believe me. I know a lot of people think I was, but I wasn't. Harry, I hope you can understand this. Even my parents won't.

Well, just want to talk to you, hope you'll write me back. And hope you like my gift.

Yours
Cho

"Oh my goodness, she actually wrote me." Harry thought. "Okay, calm down, she just wants some one to talk, not a big deal, don't think yourself too high, Harry Potter. If Cedric Diggory wasn't even good enough for her, how would you be?" He told himself.

Harry was exhausted, but Cho's letter seemed to chase the tiredness away. He took out a piece of parchment, a quill, and the ink bottle and started to write.

Dear Cho,
Thanks for your letter, just want to say that I believe and understand you, if you want to talk, just write to me.

Harry

P.S. About you owl, can you tell it not to "bang" on the window please. Don't want he muggles to wake up.

Harry fold the letter and tied to Hedwig. "Go give it to Cho, okay?" Then Hedwig flew away. Harry went on and go see what the gift from Cho was.

It was a tiny little jade Buda, beside it, there was a note:

Well, Chinese believe it would keep you safe, so wear it.

"Oh, Cho!" Harry thought. "She cares about me, she wants me to be safe! That's the best birthday gift I would ever want to receive." He thought.

Mean while, Cho was in her bed, awake, ~Sigh~ Another sleepless night. She stared out the starless night sky. "Will Harry write me back?" She asked herself. "The higher the expectation is, the greater the disappointment will be." Was the answer. "Right, I should just think he won't even read it." She thought. Again, she stared out her bedroom window to the full moon. It was beautiful, the silvery moonlight landed on her black hair.

Just as Cho about to closed her eyes, wanted to try to sleep again, she saw a beautiful white owl flew to her window. She untied the letter, saw the owl flew out and went back to bed.

She turned on the light and unfolded the letter, her heart was starting to beat fast and faster. It was just a general letter, but it was from Harry. He actually wrote her back.

She didn't know what exactly Harry felt about, in fact, she didn't know what exactly her feelings for Harry either. She only knew that she felt something she had never felt before with him. When she fist saw him on the Quidditch pitch, electricity had run through from her head to toe

She was waiting for Harry to ask her to the Ball, it sounded really stupid even to herself. She finally gave up when Cedric asked her. Then, three days later Harry miraclely asked her, but it was too late. "Why wouldn't you ask me earlier." She thought.

Even Harry asked her to the Yule Ball, she still wasn't sure. She was taught not to think herself too high. "Just because he asked you to the Ball, doesn't mean he likes you." Cho have been telling herself this again and again for the past half year. She was finding reasons to proof Harry likes her while finding reasons to proof she was just daydreaming. "Of course he likes you, he asked you to the Ball." While another voice said: "No he doesn't, who are you? You are just a ordinary little witch, you expect the famous Harry Potter to like you? Get out of here."

Cho had always wondered, if Harry didn't ever had any feelings for her, why would he ask her to the Ball then. Again, she told herself it was because he had no one else to ask.

She was so confused by herself, but she had made up her mind. She would tell Harry when she thinks it's a good time. She won't let her chances pass her away just like that.

A/N: Well, that's the second chapter, tells more about Cho's feelings, so hope you like it. And please don't forget to REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
