Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. This is the 3rd chapter hope you like it. Please R+R.
Harry and Ron entered the Great Hall.
"I hope they hurry up with the Sorting Ceremony. I'm starving here." Ron said.
"Ron, you say that every year." Harry said.
"Yea so?" Ron said.
Harry shook his head smiling a bit. The Sorting Ceremony did end rather quickly though. Once it had ended everybody thought the food would finally appear.
"Finally. One more word and I swear I'm gonna die. Bring on the food!" Ron said as he picked up his fork and knife.
But Dumbledore then stood up to make an announcement. Ron groaned and started banging his head on the table.
"Mr.Weasley I reassure you that the food will be out soon." Dumbledore said.
Ron turned red and hid his face from everybody who was staring in his direction. Harry saw Hermione sitting a few seats in front smiling slightly with satisfaction.
"Welcome to a New Year at Hogwarts! I have a few announcements I'd like to make clear. Of course Quidditch is back again." He said.
Cheers sounded, applauds were heard. Harry caught a glimpse of Cho who was cheering as well.
"The captains for the Houses of this year is as follows." He said.
A tense silence was held in the Great Hall.
"The Quidditch Captain for Slytherin...Mr. Draco Malfoy." He said.
The Slytherins cheered and applauded for Malfoy as the last 3 houses barely applauded.
"The Quidditch Captain for HufflePuff...Mr. Justin Fletchey" he said.
A more vigorously applaud was heard.
"The Quidditch Captain for Ravenclaw...Miss Cho Chang." He said.
Applauds sounded loudly throughout the Great Hall. Screams that sounded like "Way to go Cho!" were heard. Harry caught her eye and smiled. Cho nodded grinning back and looked back to Dumbledore still smiling.
"And the Quidditch Captain for Gryffindor..Mr.Harry Potter." He said.
Cheers sounded loudly again throughout the Great Hall. Harry felt pats on his back from Ron, Lee Jordan, Neville Longbottom, and many others. He could see Cho was applauding for him and couldn't help but blush a little bit.
Once the excitement had died down Dumbledore spoke again.
"Second, I would like to address that the prefects for this year shall change. Instead of 2 to each house it will be 3 prefects to each house." He said again.
Light claps were heard around the hall. Hermione seemed to be the only one applauding loudly and fast. Professor McGonagal handed Professor Dumbledore a roll of parchment.
"The prefects are as follows." He said.
"The Three Prefects for Slytherin...Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Vincent Crabbe."
Once again light claps were heard.
"The Three Prefects for HufflePuff...Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott, and Justin Fletchey." He said.
Light claps again were heard. It was obvious that nobody really liked prefect duty.
"The Three Prefects for Ravenclaw....Samantha Grint, Paige Adams, and Cho Chang."
A little more enthusiastic applauds were heard.
"And the Three Prefects for Gryffindor...Hermione Granger ("No Surprise there" Ron muttered), Harry Potter, and Ronald Wealsey!" he said.
Harry and Ron were amazed. They never imagined they'd be prefects especially with their records. Vigorous applauds were heard.
"Yes yes well done. To all Prefects please meet up her at the staff table after the feast." Dumbledore said.
He then clapped his hands and the food appeared. Near the end of the feast Harry and Ron got up and walked to the staff table. Professor McGonagal presented them with their prefect badges. Cho was nearby getting her badge from Dumbledore along with Hermione. She looked at Harry and smiled. He smiled back and walked over to her.
"So…looks like we both made Quidditch Captain and Prefects." She said.
"I guess so." He replied.
"Potter? Chang? Please do try to pay attention." Professor McGonagal said.
They both turned around and faced Professor McGonagal.
"As I was saying before..you will not be staying in your regular Dormitories. You will be staying in the Prefects Dormitories. Of course the rooms are separated. Girls to Right, Boys to the Left. I shall lead you all to the Prefects Dormitory and on the bedstand in each of the rooms there should be a piece of parchment with the password to the Prefects Bathroom. Please Follow me." She said.
Harry along with the rest of prefects followed her down a pathway. They got up to a portrait of a small little girl.
"Password please." She said sweetly.
"Squiggly Wiggle" Professor McGonagal said.
"Thank you. You may enter madams and sirs." The girl said. She did a small curtsy and the portrait swung open.
The Prefect's Common Room was by far more elegant than the regular common rooms. The fire looked like it would never die down. The couches were more soft and covered with velvety coverings. The staircases looked spiral and many live figurines were in there.
"I trust you will know where your dormitories are. Your things should be in the dormitories." She said.
Professor McGonagal turned and then left.
"Great..we're stuck here with Scarhead, Mudblood, and Weasel."
A cold drawling voice said. It belonged to no other than Draco Malfoy.
"Have no idea why they'd choose you Weasel. You're least likely to be chosen." He said.
"Leave him alone." A voice said.
It was Samantha Grint the Ravenclaw Prefect.
"Oh Weasels' got a girlfriend now? None other than Grinch." He said.
Crabbe and Pansy snickered.
"Leave them be Draco. Don't create any trouble." Said another voice.
It belonged to Cho. As soon as Draco saw her he smiled.
"Cho…so nice to see you again." He said.
"Wish I could say the same." She replied.
Draco took her hand and kissed it. She looked away in disgust. She wiped her hand with a handkerchief.
"Draco just go. We'll all sadly see you in the morning." She said.
Draco still smiled. "Hope to see you first." He said and with that he left up to the boys dormitory along with Crabbe while Pansy went up to the girls dormitory giving Cho an envious look.
Hermione, Sam, and Paige went up as well along with the other prefects leaving Harry and Cho alone in the common room. Cho sat down a little frustrated. She was muttering under her breath "good for nothing slimey little git." Harry walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You alright?" he asked.
Cho looked up and smiled slightly. "I'll be fine." She replied.
"I'm guessing you don't really fancy him either." He said.
"Just a tad." She said smiling a little bit.
Harry smiled slightly. Cho sighed and looked in the fire. Harry knew by the look on her face she was deep in thought. She then looked around as though everything in the common room was so familiar.
"Familiar?" he asked.
Cho nodded. "When Cedric was still alive and he was a prefect..or technically in his case Head Boy...he'd take me in here and we'd sit here for hours and hours just talking about so many things." She said softly.
She turned and faced the fire again. Her eyes gleamed in the fire and tears started to form.
"And the last time I was ever here with him was the day before the Third and Final Task in the Triwizard Tournament." She folded her arms together and tears started to run down her cheek.
Harry went over to her, he hesitated at first but then he put his arms around her to comfort her.
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said anything." She said trying to stifle back her cries.
"Shh, it's ok really it's ok." He said soothingly.
Cho turned and hugged Harry again. They stayed in a friendly embrace for a few moments.
"Just promise me you'll never cry again..cause I hate to see you cry." He said.
Cho looked at him, smiled slightly, and blushed a little.
"I'll keep that promise." She replied.
Harry smiled and let her go. Cho began to walk up the stairs to the Girl's Dormitory but then she turned to face him again.
"Are we still up for next week?" she asked.
Harry nodded and grinned. "You bet." He replied.
She smiled. "Just inform me about the day and time and I'm yours." She said while walking up the stairs.
Harry nodded. "I will. Good night." He said.
"'Night" she said.
Cho then walked up the stairs and into the Girls Dormitory. Harry sighed and he could hear stifled laughter from upstairs.
"Loverboy and Lovergirl in an embrace." Said a familiar voice.
It belonged to Ron.
"Ron be nice it wasn't that long." Another voice said.
"Ah my dear Samantha see that is where you are wrong." He said.
Samantha laughed.
"Will you two just leave?" Harry said but he couldn't help but smile.
"Come on milady let's leave loverboy to think." Ron said while holding out his arm.
Samantha took it and they walked off laughing their heads off. Harry shook his head still smiling. He walked up the stairs to the Boy's Dormitory, he walked in and settled in his bed. He lied awake for a while but soon drifted to sleep with visions of Cho in his mind.
Please R+R. It's greatly wanted. ^_^
