Disclaimer: I own absolutely none of the people in this fic. And I know
that Percy and Cho are more than one year apart.

She couldn't stop thinking about him. God. Well, who could blame her? He had walked in on her in the bathroom, for Merlin's sake. But she wasn't obsessing over that. Nope. She was obsessing over Percy Weasley's superb chest. God. Now she knew that he was perfect in every single way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Percy was trying to stop mentally hitting himself. He couldn't help it. He was supposed to be ambitious. Hadn't Penelope dumped him because of that? He was supposed to be against all fraternizing with girls. Hell, he had almost succeeded. He would bet 10 galleons more than half the girls at Hogwarts thought that he had taken some type of abstinence vow or something. There was absolutely no way that he could ever be attracted to Cho Chang. Well, he wasn't SUPPOSED to be. Well, shit, he thought. I really got myself into trouble now. A crush on the popularity queen? This was so not good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cho walked into Advanced Transfiguration. She blushed as she saw Percy Weasley stare at her. God. All she could think about was that chest. What was he thinking? Umm, why would she care about what he was thinking? Hello, this was Percy Weasley. She did so NOT have a crush on the perfect prefect. Seriously. Oh well. She took a seat next to him. They seriously needed to talk. "Err, hi Percy" "Hi Cho" he blushed. She was so pretty. Those almond shaped eyes drove him near to distraction. Today she was wearing light blue eye shadow. That REALLY made her eyes look good. "So, how did your Divination homework go?" Good God. Why did he always have to sound so obsessed with school? "Oh, it went just fine. I predicted a death by old age. Not that Trelawney will like that. I think she wanted something more violent.what did you put for yours?" "Oh, err, I put that I would die because of over stress.at least my mom thinks I will" OK.thought Percy.way to brag about stress. Only morons bragged about stress. "Really? So does mine. Ironically though, she induces most of it." Cho nearly winced. God. She sounded stupid but smart. What was it with her and big words? And the stress thingie? Why did she have to blab about that? "Really? That's funny.my mom keeps telling me to take time off and relax a little.but I can't. I just don't want to slack off, you know? I'm afraid I might get into the habit of slacking off.and you know, flunk" Godammit. He sounded like a grade conscious freak. Hell, he was a grade conscious freak. His brain kept alternating images of someone smacking him and Cho in a towel. WHOA. Where the hell did that come from? He was blushing. Really blushing. Why? She liked the way he kept trying and trying. Sure, he might be a little extreme, but God. At least he was proud of it.unless he was blushing at the thought of last night? Oh god. That's right. She had been just wrapped up in a towel. Well, he had been too. Oh lord. Now she was blushing. Percy noticed a pink tinge appear on Cho's face. Why? Oh. Right. She was probably remembering last night. Well, she had been in a towel. Not that he minded. "Err, yeah. I'm truly sorry about walking in on you." Percy blushed even more. Was anybody listening to their conversation? "I should have knocked. Or I should have left immediately." He kept staring at her. Why hadn't he noticed her figure before? Probably because he had never looked at her before.and that outfit she was wearing under her robes.a cute little black skirt with a bell-sleeved wine-colored shirt. Wait.was he checking her out? Whoa. This was Percy Weasley. The guy who was all about grades.unless. "Umm, no, that's all right.hey, do you want to do something together? Unless you're busy with all that school stuff." "OF COURSE! I mean, umm, sure. What about the next Hogsmeade trip? It's tomorrow." "That'll be great! How about meeting at the Three Broomsticks?" "Yeah! See you there!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Cho waited nervously near the Three Broomsticks. Did she look all right? She was wearing a pair of low-rise jeans with a black spaghetti strap tank top. Her mom would kill her if she saw Cho like this. Was her makeup fine? She checked with her pocket mirror to make sure she hadn't smudged her dark red lipstick. God. She absolutely could NOT get the image of Percy's chest out of her head. Wait, was that him? She waved and yelled "Percy! Over here!" instantly he turned and headed toward her. She blinked. Wow. He looked really good in that black long-sleeved shirt and those jeans. The pervert in her head whispered that he would look better WITHOUT a shirt, but she just ignored that. "Hey Cho!" Holy shit, she looked good. The black tank top totally suited her. "Hey, look! We match!" he gestured to her tank and his shirt.
She laughed. He was so cute. "Yeah, we do! So do you want to go to the Three Broomsticks now, or do you just want to walk around first?" "Umm, how about we walk around? This is the first fresh air I've had in about a week." There he went again. Bragging about his stress.why did he do that? It's not like it was something to be proud of or anything. "Why? Oh, yeah, you don't play quidditch, do you? Not that that's a bad thing" she said quickly. O Lord. She had probably sounded like a total jerk. "Um, nope, I don't.you want to go to Honeydukes? Tell you what.to make up for bursting in on you, I'll buy you something" did he just say that? He just had to bring THAT up didn't he? Cho laughed. "Aw, you're so sweet. Sure." They walked into the sweet shop and searched for something good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cho was cracking up. They were in Three Broomsticks and Percy was showing her all these impressions that he could do. Seriously. He was good. Now Cho knew that Fred and George weren't the only funny ones in the family. His impression of Trelawney was great. He had the voice exactly right. "Ah, yes, when the North Star is as bright as Venus, it portends a death to a dark-haired boy with glasses." he whispered, gleefully, "and when the Big Dipper is higher than the Little Dipper.a death will surely fall that night." Cho giggled. He was so hilarious. What? Oh, Percy was launching into a McGonagall imitation. She laughed. Really had. Again. "Students, today we will learn the difference between a brain switch and a brain transfiguration." even Percy's face was good. He had his lips in the exact way McGonagall held them, and had even pulled his glasses down low on his nose. "Please.stop.I.can't breath.I'm.laughing.so.hard," gasped Cho "The brain switch is when the brain of an individual is switched with another person." continued Percy. He couldn't stop. It was so fun to make her laugh. Cho gave another shriek of laughter before tumbling completely out of the booth. She continued laughing on the floor, underneath the table. She stopped about five minutes later and sat up. "Need help getting up?" said Percy as he peered down "Yes, please. If I think about that impersonation, I think I might collapse again." she laughed. "Which one?" asked Percy, "the McGonagall one?" "Yes" "And a brain transfiguration is when you change, or transfigure the brain altogether." Cho collapsed again. O lord. She was already feeling sore. And he probably thought she was the biggest loser ever. Percy helped her up. Wow. She was light. Suddenly, a highly improper and wicked thought came to his head. But he couldn't stop himself.he grabbed her waist and started tickling her like mad. He couldn't help it. Well, he probably could, but he didn't want to. Why was he doing it in the middle of a pub, for God's sake? Cho collapsed into his arms. How the hell did he guess she was VERY ticklish? She grabbed his shoulders for support.then his neck.then his face. What was she doing? This was Percy Weasley for Merlin's sake. She was so NOT about to kiss him in the middle of Three Broomsticks.hell, who was she kidding? Of COURSE she was going to kiss him.he was the most perfect guy ever. Percy slowly stopped tickling her when he noticed her face. What was she doing? She looked all serious. Whoa. Her hands were on the side of his face.wait. Was she-no. Who would be that desperate? But, if she could stand being this close to him.with his arms wrapped around her waist and everything, maybe, oh, to hell with maybes. He pulled Cho closer and placed his mouth onto hers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOLY SHIT. Percy Weasley could kiss. Hello? Penelope? What was your problem? Didn't care about you? If the guy kissed you like this, why in Ptolemy's name did you think that? OOH.he was so WARM. Who cared if they were in the middle of a very populated pub. Percy was in heaven. Absolute heaven. Kissing this girl was the absolute best thing he had ever done. Penelope who? Cho was totally intoxicating. He pulled her closer as one of his arms edged towards the small of her back. The other one started moving higher, and stopped when it got to her neck.like his mouth was. Neither Cho nor Percy noticed all the stares directed towards them. Suddenly, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all walked in. Harry just stopped. Ron just stopped and stared. Hermione stopped, stared, and slapped Harry and Ron for stopping and staring for so long. Finally, Ron got his voice. "Percy!?!?! What the bloody hell are you doing?" Percy jumped. Oh lord. Of all people to say that, it had to be Ron. Seriously. Ron was the only person who would say something like that. "Ron, what does it look like I'm doing? I was snogging Cho. What did it look like I was doing? Playing cards?" Cho blushed at that. He was so very DIFFERENT from what she thought he was. He even looked sexy in that black shirt. But then, she thought he looked sexy in everything since the night of the bathroom thingie. Ron gaped at Percy for that one. "Umm, Percy, are you all right? You haven't had too much butter beer have you?" "No Ron, I have not had too much butter beer. And yes, I am quite all right. Much better than I was, actually. Now if you will excuse us.Cho and I will be leaving now.if that's all right with you, Cho." "Oh, quite all right Percy" "Let's go then" Percy and Cho exited the pub, hand in hand, to the surprise of everyone in Three Broomsticks. "Well," said Ron, "That's something you don't see everyday. Percy with an actual, real live, honest to God, genuine girl. I thought he would never get to the program" Hermione smacked him. Again.
