Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. This is the 6th chapter hope you like it. Please R+R.
"I wanted to ask you…if we could talk about us…talk about Cedric." she said.
"What do you mean talk about…us?" he said blushing slightly.
"Well I wanna know what we are now. I mean are we friends, good acquaintances…anything?" she said.
"Of course we are something Cho…honestly you are one of my best friends out of Ron and Hermione and everybody else I know." He said.
Cho smiled. "You're one of my best friends too. Sometimes you're even better than Paige and Samantha." She replied.
They both smiled. And for the rest of the night they talked away and found out even more about each other. And by the end of the night they were both proclaimed best friends till the end…or so Cho said.
"We'd better be getting some sleep than…" He said.
"Yeah…I guess we should." She replied.
They both walked up the spiral stairs. Harry walked Cho to the Girls Dormitory door.
"Good Night Cho." He said.
"Good night Harry." She replied.
She then kissed him on the cheek, smiled, and walked into the Girls Dormitory.
Over the weeks Cho and Harry would hang out together even more. They were almost inseparable. They'd study together, have little walks in the Garden together after dinner, have their own little Quidditch practices, and of course nightly talks before they'd go to sleep in the common rooms. They soon got into the habit of kissing each other on the cheek for congratulating or for no reason at all. They seemed like they were together as boyfriend and girlfriend. Cho had nothing to say about it. Harry wished it were real though. Even so they were both sometimes embarrassed by remarks that are sent to them when they passed through the corridors. One day though there was a big poster hung up in the entrance hall it read....
bThe following is an announcement to students attending Hogwarts. There will be a Winter/Solstice Ball at the end of December. The band playing will be The Weird Sisters once again. All Students have a choice to be accompanied with a partner, but that is very preferable that you are. Girls are allowed to wear regular dresses. Boys must still follow the code for dress robes. A king and queen, princess and prince of the Solstice award will be held. May the best pair win. Happy Holidays! /b
Harry walked into the Great Hall and sat across from Ron.
"'Ello Ron." He said.
"'Lo Harry. Are you going to the Winter Ball?" he asked.
Harry shrugged. "Dunno yet. Do I really have a choice?" he replied.
"Well, practically everyone's going." He said.
"That still doesn't give me a reason to go." He said.
"I'm going to the Ball with Sam. You should ask Cho to go with you." He said.
Harry laughed a little bit. "Like Cho Chang would ever go with me." He said.
"I think she fancies you just like you fancy her." Ron said.
(A/N: British Slang people. Fancy in England means like)
"How so?" Harry said as he picked up a piece of toast and started to butter it.
"Well, number one you two are always seen together. Number two you two are almost inseparable. And Number three you two are snogging each other on the cheek. It's common love." He said.
(A/N: Another British slang word. Snog means kiss)
Harry shook his head and could feel the heat in his cheeks.
"Just ask her Harry. What'll it hurt?" he said.
"Last time I asked her to attend to something with me she declined." He replied.
"She can't say no to you this year though. Harry, Samantha and I have a strong belief that you and Cho are good for each other this year. We just know it." He said.
"I don't know Ron…" He said.
"Sam and I will be there when you're asking her. You can't go wrong now." He said.
Harry looked over at where Cho was sitting. He then sighed and nodded.
"Alright, alright I'll do it." He said.
All that week though every time Harry would try to bring it up in his conversation with her he couldn't.
"Harry if you don't ask her soon she's bound to already be taken by someone else." Ron said. Harry nodded.
That night Harry and Cho were in the common room apparently laughing really hard.
"Let me be King of Solstice." Harry said while standing up triumphantly "I will not let my people down."
Cho laughed even harder. "Then I shall be Queen." She said while elegantly standing and giving Harry a small curtsy. "Together we shall rule Hogwarts and bring joy to the holidays." She continued grinning.
They both laughed again and sat down.
"It'd be wonderful wouldn't it? Winning such an honor." Cho said.
Harry nodded. "It would be a great honor too." He replied.
Cho smiled slightly. "It's about two weeks before the ball and I still have no one to go with." She said.
This was Harry's opportunity. Cho wasn't taken yet.
"Well, would you-would you-" he began to say.
"Would I what?" she said while raising an eyebrow.
"Would you like to go to the ball with me?" he asked, looking away blushing slightly.
Cho too then looked away. She blushed and then smiled.
"I'd love to go with you Harry Potter. It'd be an honor too." She replied smiling.
Harry sighed with relief and looked at her. "You have no idea how long I've been trying to get this off of my shoulders." He said.
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Well now you don't have to worry anymore." She said.
He kissed her back on the cheek. "Thank you for accepting." He said.
"Your welcome." She replied.
The two weeks had passed very quickly. All of the girls in the school were fit with giggles. All the boys couldn't care less. Some were sickened by all of it. Ron and Samantha had gotten closer through the days. They had soon become inseperable. Harry and Cho would stay in the common room with them where Ron and Sam would always be either hugging each other or kissing. Cho looked at Harry and pretending to gag. She threw a pillow at the both of them.
"For god sakes you guys get a room will ya?" she said.
They all laughed and they threw it back.
"Fine I know when I'm not wanted." Samantha said sarcastically.
Soon afterwards Samantha and Ron left hand in hand.
It was the night of the Winter/Solstice. Harry and Ron got ready last minute. While Cho and Samantha got ready two hours before. Harry and Ron were waiting in the common room for them. Harry had on regular dark green robes and Ron had on maroon.
"Why do girls always take so long?" Ron said.
Harry shrugged. They both felt taps on their shoulders the next moment. Ron turned around and grinned ear to ear. In front of him was Samantha who was dressed in a mid-thigh length, black, velvet, tank top dress, with black, velvet, and high-heel sandals. Her hair was in a loose bun, she had on lip-gloss, and some glitter in her hair, on her face, and on her arms and chest. She had on a diamond necklace, with matching bracelet and earrings, and her nails were painted red and sparkly. Harry turned and saw Cho smiling at him. She was dressed in the same exact dress as Sam's only it was light blue with white streaks. Her hair was in a half ponytail, she had glitter from head to toe on herself, she had on lip-gloss as well, her nails were painted a nice pure white color, and she had on high-heel sandals that were white. Her jewelry was light blue emerald earrings and a diamond bracelet. In Harry's eyes Cho looked like an angel.
"Shall we get going then boys or are you just going to stand there looking at us in awe?" Samantha asked laughing a little bit.
Harry held his arm up for Cho and she took it. They both looked at Ron and Samantha.
"Um, Ron? I think now would be your time to get your arm out for Samantha to take." Cho said laughing.
"Oh oh, right of course." He said still in awe.
He got his arm out for Samantha to take and she did still laughing a bit.
"You're a sweetie Ron you know that?" Samantha said.
Harry and Cho ran for it because after that Ron and Sam got close to each other once more.
Harry and Cho got into the Great Hall, which was magnificently decorated. The ceiling was a beautiful night sky themed that night. The Weird Sisters were preparing to do a song. Everybody could hear them tuning up. Cho saw Paige with a 7th year Hufflepuff. Harry and Cho waved to them and continued walking. Finally The Weird Sisters started to play a song. It was slow song apparently. When it had started you could her groans from a couple of students and giggles from the others. Harry and Cho faced each other and blushed slightly.
"I don't really know how to dance." Harry said.
"You seemed pretty good last year, but since you say that just follow my lead." She said smiling.
Harry led Cho to the dance floor. Cho put her hand in his, put his other free hand on her waist, and put her other free hand on his shoulder.
"It's not hard just follow the steps and you'll be fine." She said.
To Harry's surprise Cho was right. Cho moved gracefully and Harry followed her "Doing brilliantly well" as Seamus and Dean put it. Hours dragged on but Harry and Cho were enjoying themselves.
Soon McGonagal went on to the stage.
"The picking of the King, Queen, Prince, and Princess or Winter Solstice shall start now. I shall tap my wand on this piece of parchment and whatever name is on it is chosen." She said.
Everybody stopped dancing and stood to face her.
"The Winter Solstice Prince is.." she began to say.
She tapped her wand on the parchment. "Mr. Ronald Weasley."
Applauds sounded throughout the Great Hall. Ron departed from Samantha who had just kissed him on the cheek. He got up to the stage and accepted a special Winter Solstice badge from Professor McGonagal.
"Yes, yes well done Mr. Weasley. Now for the Winter Solstice Princess.." she began to say once more.
She tapped on the parchment again. "Hermione Granger!"
Applauds sounded again. Harry and Cho applauded for her but then Cho stopped.
"Uh oh." she said.
"What?" he asked.
"Harry… Hermione, Paige, and Sam were having a fight a few weeks ago. It was about Ron. Hermione had deliberately slapped Paige in the face and she got upset about Sam and Ron being together. And now with this..I don't know what's gonna happen." She said as she glanced over at Paige and Sam.
"Don't worry about it. I'll talk to Ron about it." He said.
Hermione got up to the stage and accepted her badge.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Princess and Prince of Solstice." She said. Hermione smiled broadly.
She had on periwinkle robes and her hair was nice and straight. Ron looked aimlessly at Sam for a call for help. But Sam was nodding and mouthing to him "You'll be alright."
Harry, Cho and the rest of the students silenced again.
"Now for the King of Solstice.." she said.
She tapped the parchment and smiled. "Mr. Harry Potter."
Cho kissed him on the cheek. "Way to go Harry. You deserve this. Go on now." She said grinning.
He departed from Cho and got up to the stage. Ron patted him on the back and Harry accepted his Solstice King badge.
"And now at last the Winter Solstice Queen." She said.
Cho had walked over to Paige and Sam watching on. Sam and Paige looked enviously at Hermione. Professor McGonagal tapped her wand on the parchment for the last and final time. Harry waited anxiously to see who would be Queen. He prayed it wasn't anybody from Slytherin. She saw the results and smiled again.
"Your Winter Solstice Queen is…Miss. Cho Chang." She said.
Applauds sounded loudly again. Paige and Sam smiled at Cho and almost pushed her up to the stage. She went up and accepted her Winter Solstice Queen badge. She walked over to Harry and they both hugged each other.
"The Royals for the Winter Solstice everybody." Professor McGonagal said sarcastically.
Harry and Cho laughed, as did the rest of the students.
Chatters were soon heard once more.
"Before you go on chatting, I must say that the King and Queen will share a special dance. As well for the Princess and Prince." She said.
Harry and Cho took each other's hands once more and walked down to the floor. Ron and Hermione did the same but Ron was trying to keep his distance. Harry put both of his hands on Cho's waist and Cho put her arms over his shoulders. Harry brought Cho close and they started to dance. Cho was laughing silently.
"What's so funny?" he whispered in her ear.
"The fact that we were joking about being King and Queen and now, here we are dancing because we're King and Queen and Solstice." She whispered back.
Harry laughed a little bit. The dance ended an hour later. Everybody was tired and restless. Harry and Cho walked back to the common room for the first time hand in hand. As they walked in they saw that Ron and Sam were saying "Good night" to each other. Harry and Cho took a seat on the couches having another conversation about the ball. They laughed together once more.
"Look at us. King and Queen of Solstice." Harry said.
"Yea, we achieved something very honoring tonight." Cho replied.
Harry got up and took her up as well. They started to dance again. Harry twirled Cho around and then they did a small dunk. They both smiled. Harry brought her up. They soon began to get closer and closer. Harry closed his eyes as Cho did the same. Cho tilted her head and kissed Harry on the lips.
I don't know what this is. I think this is a good ending for chapter 6 but I could be wrong. Lol. Or this could be another cliffhanger you decide. Lol. Please review this chapter. Chapter 7 will be up soon and if you think it's gonna be all fun and perfect.... think again. Dun dun dun! lol
