Once again, Cho felt completely miserable. Then again, it was time when she finally decided she would try to soften a little, and help Parvati with her own love issues. "After all, it will probably distract me from being so depressed all the time", she thought, wiping her tears away. Parvati came back with a stack of Chocolate Frogs to say she was sorry, and she didn't mean to be so bossy. The rest of the train ride lightened Cho's spirit as they both thought of ways to get Will to notice Parvati.

"It's great to be back!" Parvati sighed, as she and Cho stepped into the Great Hall. "Oh look", she pointed, "There's Oliver! And there's....." She trailed off when she got a glimpse of Will. Cho glanced at Oliver with his hands in his pockets, talking to Will about whatever guys talk about. "He hasn't talked to me in years.....how Parvati can think he can just fall in love like that?" she thought, walking over to the Ravenclaw table, while Parvati went to the Gryffindor table.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat. The whole hall became silent, as he tapped his glass to make an announcement starting out with, "I want to begin by welcoming you all into a new year." He went on by telling the first years the rules of Hogwarts, and restricted areas. Then he paused, his face impassive, and said," There are new dangers that await us, and we must take extra safety precautions to prevent the chances of losing anybody." There were whispers among the tables before he interrupted again by saying, "But I assure you, that we will be doing everything we can to keep everyone safe."

The whole hall seems to heave a sigh of relief. Then, Dumbledore smiled and continued, "I want to introduce four people who have worked hard job to come this far. These four young men have followed their dreams to find success. "The hall erupted into cheers, as Dumbledore motioned for the four teenagers to stand up. The first to come up, (Followed by screams from many girls) was Will, and he was Ireland's team beater. The second and third, were both chasers named Josh and Max, a pair of shy boys that would soon be adored by many girls once they got to know them better. "And last, but not least, the team's keeper, Oliver Wood." It seemed like the whole school was going through an earthquake, with more screaming, since they were more familiar with Oliver Wood, one of the best players who used to be on Hogwart's Quidditch team. Oliver grinned when a sign was shot up from a wand in pink smoke forming the letters, "We Love You Oliver!" obviously from girl fans who admired him a whole lot. The speech was brought to an end, when plates were filled with drumsticks, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and everything you could think of for the Welcome Back feast. Cho felt comforted with the sounds of voices talking about the new players on the Quidditch team, and the upcoming Christmas Ball. "Another Ball", she said, bringing herself back of her and Cedric at the Ball. Her heart ached at the thought.
