"Cho, I'm so glad you came. I was just about to put out a search party."
That voice sent a pleasant shiver down Cho's spine. The amazing Harry Potter, kind, thoughtful and just so darn adorable, was her boyfriend. Just being around him always managed to make Cho feel good about herself. With a large grin on her face, she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Leaning into his cloak-laden chest she heaved a great sigh.
"There was no need for a search party, Hagrid found me all by himself. Said I should come down here and check you were all doing your work."
Cho winked at her Hermione and was greeted with a grunt and a loud groan.
"Oh come on Cho, not you too. Tell Herme here, that we need a break or else my brain will explode." Groaned the ever-complaining Ron Weasley.
"What brain..?" a muffled voice muttered from behind a large textbook. The frizzy-haired head raised and sent a threatening glare towards Ron. "And don't call me Herme !!! This piece of work is very important for our exams. I need to write a three foot long essay on 'How beetle dung was responsible for the great potion explosion in 1876.' I can't afford to waste my time doing.."
She never managed to finish her lecture, as Ron lunged on top of her and began smacking sloppy kisses all over her face. Hermione began to squeal with laughter, Cho giggled and Harry was looking slightly uncomfortable. He was still trying to adjust to the fact that his two best friends were now dating. Cho pulled her head away from Harry's chest and looked deep into his green eyes. She could always read the emotions and feelings in his eyes. Reaching up, she pushed aside an unruly strand of his messy hair and standing right on her tippee-toes smacked a kiss on his nose. Harry's face flushed with colour.
"What was that for?" mumbled a grinning Harry. Cho always took delight in the way he blushed.
"I just wanted to give you a kiss. Is that a crime now?" She laughed into his chest. Harry Potter had grown significantly over the past two years that they were dating. When young Harry had first asked Cho out for a date, they had been around the same size. Now Cho's head barely reached Harry's shoulder.
Cho felt very lucky to have someone as special as Harry for her boyfriend. It was her last year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, and the past seven years had been a delight, the last two even better. She was a good student, had many great friends, played on her house quidditch team and of course had a wonderful boyfriend, but lately she didn't seem to be enjoying her life as much as usual. Lately, she had troubling thoughts and dark nightmares. Her mind seemed to be digging up ugly memories that she had buried deep inside and she was constantly haunted by a dark presence.
With her head down, wind sweeping past her as she zoomed across the quidditch pitch with a quaffle in her hand, Cho swerved and managed to avoid an oncoming bludger. With a quick flip of her hand, her broomstick halted and she thrust the ball into the hoop. A loud cheer went up and Cho looked up to see Harry sitting on his own broomstick, across the pitch, grinning at her. With a quick salute in his direction she went after the quaffle once again. Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw. The deciding match before the grand final. The two teams were feeling the pressure. Slytherin had previously beaten the Hufflepuff team 690 to 200, and now everyone was anxiously waiting to see who would be playing against Slytherin in the grand final. Even though, Gryffindor had won the quidditch cup, for the last three years, Cho believed that her team had a good chance of winning. They had a strong captain, tough beaters, speedy chasers and a pretty decent seeker. Why shouldn't they win?
'Whoops, spoke too soon.' Thought Cho, as Lee Jordan announced that the golden snitch had been caught by Harry Potter and Gryffindor won!
Cho whipped herself around and prepared to fly back down to the pitch, when suddenly a huge gust of wind swept her off her broom. The breeze seemed to lift her higher and higher into the sky, then without warning the wind was gone and the air was still. Cho fell out of the air into the stinging branches of the Whomping Willow. Gasping with fear, she tried to grab onto a branch to stop herself from falling, but the ancient tree whipped and scratched at Cho's pale skin. She heard her cloak rip and felt blood dripping down her face and her back. She continued falling through the whip like branches until she roughly hit the muddy soil beneath the tree. As soon as she hit the ground, a voice began to echo in her mind and she fell into darkness.
"Cho. You cannot hide from me, you cannot run from me. I will find you where ever you go. You belong to me!"
"Cho? Are you alright? Cho can you hear me?" Harry's voice penetrated the darkness. Blinking her eyes open, Cho was nearly blinded by the light. She reached out for Harry's hand and gasps for breath. Looking down at herself she realises that she her body is covered with scratches and blood. Shaking with fear, Cho is lifted up gently, by Harry.
"I'm going to take you to Madame Pomfrey's. Don't worry you'll be alright."
The large crowd that surrounded them, moved and began to whisper nervously to each other. It had looked like Cho had been lifted off her broom and thrown clear across the pitch. What could of done that?
Snuggled close to Harry's chest, Cho could hear his footsteps ringing as he hurried down the hallways to the hospital wing.
'Madame Pomfrey, hurry Cho's been hurt badly." Yelled an anxious Harry as he kicked the doors open.
"Now, now there's no need for such carrying on. Just bring her in, I'll fix her up and she'll be right as rain." Assured a kind but stern voice.
Harry laid Cho onto the small hospital bed and Madame Pomfrey leaned over to see the extent of her injuries.
"Oh you poor dear. You must be very uncomfortable. Just try and relax and I'll fix up all those scratches." Madame Pomfrey patted Cho lightly on the head, then turned on Harry "As for you. You can just go back to the great hall and reassure everyone that she will be okay. And I don't want you to come back. She needs her rest!"
Harry reluctantly left and Madame Pomfrey waddled over to her cupboard of medicinal tonics and elixirs. Selecting a small green bottle, the nurse then reached for a white cloth. Madame Pomfrey muttered a few words under her breath and the bottle and cloth floated towards Cho. It then began to dab small amounts of the tonic onto Cho's numerous scratches. Once it had worked it's way over Cho's body, it floated calmly to the bedside table. Tapping her cheek Madame Pomfrey, began to manually inspect Cho. By this time Cho was feeling much calmer and felt no more pain, so she was sitting on the edge of the bed as Madame Pomfrey circled her. Running her hands along Cho's pale neck, Madame Pomfrey was surprised to feel a curious series of lines at the base of her neck. Investigating further, she was horrified to see three long claw-like marks running down the girl's back. These had definitely not been caused by the Whomping Willow.
"Cho, my goodness. Where ever did you get these scars from?"
An expression of fear and pain flashed through Cho's eyes, as she hurriedly pulled down her clothes to cover the scar.
"I've had them since my childhood" muttered Cho evasively.
Shaking her head at Cho, Madame Pomfrey reached for her wand saying, "Well, let's just see what we can do about them, shall we?"
Immediately Cho was once again overcome by a dark voice.
"I own you. Body and soul."
Cho began to scream in terror but no sound came out, and as Madame Pomfrey's wand touched the scars on her back a flash of lightning ripped through the sky. Then an excruciatingly intense pain seemed to rip through her body. Cho continued to scream her silent screams as Madame Pomfrey was thrown clear across the room against the wall. Wracked with pain, Cho was unable to stand up and help the nurse. So she sat there helplessly, tears streaming down her face, her whole body shaking with pain and terror, listening to the dark voice as it echoed off the room's wall.
"You are mine, now and forever"
