Harry smiled sweetly as Cho came walking toward him. She gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Harry blushed, Hermione (who was found burning her results to the survey in the fireplace) glared evilly at her, and Ron just stared. "Ron, Hermione." Cho nodded in their direction as if to say hello, then taking Harry's hand she led him away from the bemused couple. Harry's palms felt sweaty and his throat felt dry, he wished that it were the opposite. "So, how've you been?" Cho asked, smiling at Harry as if they were long lost friends. "Fairly well." The thought of telling her about his dream crossed his mind again. Once again, he shoved it to the side. "That's nice to hear." What Ron had said about Cho had started to bother Harry. He fidgeted nervously. "Harry, it there something wrong?" she asked, looking at him as if he was chimpanzee. "Cho," Harry began. "I don't know how to.I don't know where.-" This was getting him nowhere. "There's something that I need to ask you. It's really been bugging me." Cho looked nervous and stared at the ground. "Alright." "Ron and I were talking. And well.he said that it was a bit peculiar, you know, how you just started liking me all of the sudden." Cho looked shocked. "But I told him that I thought you would never lie about something like that." Harry said trying to reassure her that he didn't think she was lying to him. "I don't know how anyone could ever think something like that! Why would I throw the word "love" around like it was some kind of toy or joke?" Cho seemed very.upset by Harry's suggestion. "I don't understand what you're asking Harry. But I'm not pretending to "like you like you". I've always liked you."

Harry felt all of his tension and nervousness disappear. They were walking though the vacant corridors, on either side of the halls. Cho felt a need to be nearer to Harry. She moved more toward his way. He looked at her and she looked at him. They smiled. Cho took his hand and stopped. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She looked at him solely in the eye as she rested her arms on his shoulders and played with the hair on the back of his neck. This sent chills up and down Harry's spine. Harry was totally unsure of what to do next. Cho got so close that their noses were touching. Harry suddenly kissed her. This surprised Cho almost as much as it did Harry. Cho felt Harry's hands venture down to her hips and slowly back up again. A bell sounded, startling them both. Snape walked out from a dark corner. "Interesting show Mr. Potter. I believe I'll be seeing you and Ms. Cho in detention. Fifty points from Gryffindor! Good day." Harry and Cho stood astounded as Professor Snape walked away. The halls now flooded with students and the cacophony of mixed noises. Harry grasped Cho's hand and squeezed it, hoping that it would bring her some reassurance. She squeezed back and started to walk away.

Harry too, made his way to his next class.
