~Chapter Six: Silent Tears~

The day went by fast, after dinner, Harry walked over to Ginny. "Er, Ginny, may I have a word with you?"

"Of course." Ginny answered, and followed Harry out by the lake.

"Ginny, I, I didn't know how to say this, but will you, hum, be my girlfriend?" Harry asked, blushing.

"Of course, Harry. I've waited this moment so long." Ginny's reaction was quite similar to Hermione's, but Harry's feeling wasn't same as Ron's for sure. Before Harry knew it, Ginny had given him a smack kiss right on the lips. Then Harry took Ginny's hand and had a nice walk by the lake.

Cho, who witnessed the whole thing in the corner, had silent tears running down her cheeks. She had finally realized and admitted that she loves him, but all too late. Silently she walked back to the castle, alone.

Cho didn't want to go back to her common room, because she knew, if she did, over a dozen people would ask why was she crying. She walked into the library, no one was there, not even Hermione. She went in and started studying furiously.

She stayed in the library until it was closed and went to bed without talking to anyone. Now she knew how all the friends felt, but she was even more unfortunate, she didn't experience the feeling of being loved, only being hurt.

Mean while, Harry was lying on his bed thinking about Cho. He was now, with Ginny, but still, he couldn't stop thinking about Cho. He was only with Ginny because he thought that would make Ginny happy, which was true, but he didn't love her.

Days later, Harry decided to go to the library and finish his Divination homework. Surprisingly, he saw Cho sitting in the there. He walked over, "Hi!"

"Oh, hi Harry." She replied.

"Mind if I sit here?"

"No." Harry sat down beside her, searching for a topic to talk about. Again Cho started before him.

"I found out." Cho said with a grin.

"Found out what?" Harry asked, looking puzzled.

"I found out that Ginny was the girl, see I said it will be you turn very soon." She said with a smile, privately wondering how could her drama teacher gave her a "B" when she could smile at the thing that made her heart bleed.

"Oh, that." Harry blushed. "Yeah, she was the one." "But Cho, you don't know it is you, it's just you have someone in mind." Harry thought.

"Well, congratulations!" Cho said.

"Thanks, how about you? Did he ask you?" Harry asked carelessly.

"Nope, and I doubt he'll ever ask me again." Cho answered.

"Again?" It caught Harry's interest.

"Yeah, kinda, I don't know." Cho replied.

"Never lose hope." Harry smiled.

"My philosophy is: The greater the expectation is, the greater the disappointment will be."

"How do you know it'll always be a disappointment?"

"Seems like it." Cho answered.

"Cho, you are a girl that everyone wants, don't just give up like that." Harry said sincerely.

"Okay, thanks." Then Harry walked away to get his books. "Then why don't you want me?" Cho thought, she tried her best not to let the words out.

Harry found his books and sat somewhere wasn't very far away from Cho. He opened his book and started working, but the problem was that Harry just couldn't concentrate when Cho was around. After a while, the librarian came to close the library, and Harry and Cho walked out.

"Why wasn't Ginny with you?" Cho blurred out.

"Oh, she said the library gives her a headache." Harry replied.

"Oh, really? I'm here almost the whole day other than classes." Cho said.

"Yeah, so is, I mean was Hermione, until she realized that there's person named Ron." Harry joked.

"Yeah," Cho laughed. "I can imagine that."

"Which means." Harry blurred out before he could stop himself. "You won't be here long, cause the he will take you out to the lake soon, just like Ron, maybe a bit romantic, I don't know."

Cho laughed, "Right, I'll just wait till that day to come." Then they said their 'Good night's and went separate ways to their common rooms.

Cho went in the Ravenclaw Common Room, sat down, pulled the books, quill and some parchment out. She started to do the home three weeks after. (Let's just say she had an outline.)

By the lake, Ron and Hermione were taking a walk. They were silent, just walking hand in hand, they didn't need words anymore, they've been good friends for so long. They could understand each other perfectly by heart.

Then Ron started anyways. "Herm?"

"Yeah?"

"You know Gin and Harry."

"What about them?"

"Do you think they fit?"

"Duh? They were made for each other." Hermione smiled.

"That's what mom says." Ron said.

"It took Harry long enough."

"I know,"

"It took you long enough, too." Hermione grinned, then they shared a kiss and went back to the castle.

A/N: Ok, ok, just don't yell, I know some of you just hate Ginny, sorry, but I have to have a problem in the story right? So just wait, Cho and Harry will be together… some how. Please REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
