~Chapter Three: At Diagon Alley~


Cho took out her writing materials and started to write. After she finished, she tied the letter to Jade Heart. "Take the letter to Harry, and don't 'bang' on his window please." She seemed to understand and flew out of her window.

Harry and Cho kept in touch for the rest of the summer vacation. They learned a lot about each other, but still nither of them had the guts to tell how they felt.

Time went by fast. (Not really for Harry.) It was now August 30th, Harry started to pack up and went to Diagon Alley the following day.

A lot of familiar faces appeared. He saw Dean Thomas, his dorm-mate, Dean told Harry he had made a perfect excitedly, he was surely very happy. Then, Harry saw Colin Creevey and his brother Dennis. Harry tried not to let Colin to see him but failed, which caused him to stuck with them for over 20 minutes.

While Harry was trying to find Ron and Hermione, someone he didn't expect to see appeared in fornt of him. It was Cho Chang, he wanted to see her, but didn't expecting it. This was the first time Harry saw Cho with muggle clothes on. She was wearing a T-shirt and pair of sweat pants. It was nothing fancy, but in Harry's eyes, she looked like an angel.

"Hi, Cho," Harry managed to say.

"Hi, Harry, how are you?" Cho smiled.

"Hey! Harry!" Harry heard a voice called and turned, it was Ron. Usually, he would be glad that Ron had found him, but today, he just wanted to go over and whack Ron's head open. He waited so long to talk to Cho, and Ron interrupted after five words.

"I… I think I'll just…" Harry stammered.

"Yeah, I'll see you at King's Cross tomorrow then."

"Right, see you then." Harry left Cho and started to walk to Ron and Hermione.

"Hi, Harry, how was your summer?" Asked Hermione.

"It's was fine, I think they are still afraid that Sirius will come and turn them all into bats." Harry replied.

After they got all their books, they went back to the hotel and had dinner with the Weasleys. It would be the twins' last year at Hogwarts. They decided to open the Weasley Wizard Wheezes after this year no matter what. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley seemed to lose hope in them already. They were now expecting Ron to get whole lot of O.W.L.s, it made Ron quite pressured.

"Hey, did you read that book I gave you? It's so good." Said Ron with a grin when they got into there room.

"Just started it, and Ron, when did you start to read muggle romance book, huh?" Harry said.

"Oh, romance," Ron blushed. "I, I, I kind of have someone in mind, so I want to know about… love."

"Right, Hermione?" Harry asked teasingly.

"Who did you know?" Ron asked in surprise.

"It's obvious, do you know what you were like when you looked at her?"

"Oh god, that obvious?"

"Yeah, Ron, tell you what, ask her before it's too late. Hermione is getting prettier and prettier, if you don't hurry, she'll definitely be taken away. Okay?"

"Right. I should really think about it."

"Okay, you go think about Hermione, and I'll read the book you gave me." Harry said.

"Hey!"

Another room of the same hotel…

Cho was again, staring out at the night sky. She was thinking about love, not just Harry, but love. She had friends that had been hurt by love. Cho knew that fall in love might be a good thing, but she always had this thought: 'no matter how much he loves you, you'll always end up being hurt.' After seeing so many of her friends ended up being hurt, she was sure it was true. Now, another inner conflict, even if she told Harry, and Harry loves her back, she would still end up hurt.

But Cho always wanted to try new things, most of them ended up good, few of them didn't, but they didn't affect much. Love was the only thing in Cho's life that she hesitated about. She wanted to try, maybe she would be happy, but she didn't want the pain.

After Cedric's death, she always thought if she was in love him, would she be more hurt? Yes, she would. She was so afraid, she didn't want to lose the chance to be in love, but she didn't want to get hurt either.

Her friends once told her: 'The more you are in love, the more hurt you will be.' She thought it was kind of pessimistic, but she knew it was true.
