Chapter 2: Coming to Their Senses
"Cho," Harry said, "I have waited so long to tell you this. I have long loved you for ages."
"Harry, I've felt the same way about you, too," Cho replied with misty eyes. "Let us be more than friends. Let us love each other until death do us part."
The next thing you know, they were passionately kissing, one thing had led to another as their temperatures rose, clothes rapidly came off, and Cho called Harry's name as if she was in need of rescuing.
"Harry... Harry... Harry wake up!"
With that, Harry woke up, realizing it was only a mere fantasy. The only thing that wasn't a dream was Cho being at his side. She had on a black dress with a royal blue velvet cloak. There were designs that resembled stars, and---since designs and pictures are enchanted making the picture obviously move---a comet streaked across the cloak. "Harry, are you ok?" she asked looking worried.
"What happened?" he asked, "Why am I on the floor?"
"You fainted three minutes ago," Cho replied, "The funny thing is, you were talking while you were knocked out. What exactly were you thinking about?"
"Oh, I was seeing myself winning the Quidditch World Cup," he said quickly, but she knew he must have been hiding something.
"Cho, there is something I want to tell you."
"Well, what is it? " Cho asked with a bewildered look. "You might as well start off with saying something since this is like the first time we've spoken to each other."
"Umm... I don't know how to say this but…"
"Harry!" Ron dashed into the hallway. "How're you doing? Great catch in the last Quidditch game, but anyway hurry up and get in there! There's a few people dying to see you!"
So Ron, Harry, and Cho went into the living room to join the others. Just as soon as they entered the room, Parvati and Lavender ran to Harry and simultaneously gave him a hug.
"Harry, it's so good to see you again!" Parvati said as she let go of him.
"Yeah, we've missed you so much!!" Lavender said joyously, also releasing him.
"Well, I haven't had a hug like that in ages, especially from my so-called family, the Dursleys," he said chuckling, "and I missed every single one of you, well maybe except for him."
Then the room became silent as Malfoy, with his white blond hair slicked back as usual, stood up and approached Harry. He had on an all black cloak with two snakes embroidered on it, just like his father's.
"If it isn't the famous Harry Potter," he said, "I knew you would have shown your ugly face in this place."
"Take a picture, it'll last longer," Harry said. "You can also take a picture of my ass and kiss it. By the way, go somewhere and buy yourself a new punch line and some new clothes since you can afford it, you goblet of bubotuber pus."
Malfoy and Harry both pulled out their wands.
"IMPERIO!" Malfoy roared.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" Harry bellowed, and with that the spell backfired on Malfoy and he was completely under Harry's control. Harry had made Malfoy punch and slap himself, but when he was about to make him jump out of a window, Hermione begged for him to stop. So, he undid the curse and Malfoy regained consciousness.
After Malfoy and Harry settled down, it was time to eat. With two claps of Hermione hands, the garnished plates filled themselves with food. A turkey the size of a large box made the center plate and the rest of the meal was stuffing, cranberry sauce, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and other exotic foods such as escargo (which---by chance---reminded Ron of the time he burped up slugs). Finishing up their delicious meals, Hermione waved her wand and the dishes floated into the kitchen and began to wash themselves.
While waiting for the dessert, the gang had a great time reminiscing about Hogwarts. They shared the many memories and adventures they had (especially the Dynamic Trio: Ron, Hermione, and Harry). Once in a blue moon, Harry and Malfoy got into arguments over petty little things, but their last argument ended when the plates floated back in with the dessert.
Treacle fudge pudding, cheesecake, and even cauldron cakes were in the dessert portion of the meal. Then, a double chocolate double layer cake and seven goblets of butter beer appeared in the middle of the table. Each person took his or her own goblet and dessert.
"Attention," Hermione said quite loudly, "I would like to make a toast to good friends."
"Yeah, even though some people among us aren't friends," Harry said nodding towards Malfoy. "Oh hush up, you dragon breath pussy!" Malfoy retorted.
"Eat dung, you pureblooded show off!" Harry said, "What're you going to do, run tell your daddy that mature Harry Potter cursed you out? Bitch please."
Once again, Malfoy took out his wand, but this time, Ron took out his wand as well.
"Any more bullshit out of you and I'll cut you up, Malfoy," Ron said menacingly.
"I'm surprised you actually afforded to buy a new personality, Weasel mouth," Malfoy sneered.
"That's it! DIFFINDO!" Ron shouted, and a white light shot at Malfoy, cutting his cloak and his face. "While he's getting cut up, I can get my definite revenge that I've been waiting for," he said, and then he yelled "EAT SLUGS!"
A green light blasted out of the end of his wand and Malfoy, finally finished with being cut up, started to burp up slugs.
"You'll... pay... for... this," Malfoy managed to cough out, and he Disapparated.
"Thanks, Ron. Thanks for ruining our appetites!" Hermione said.
"Don't thank me, thank Malfoy," Ron said "and sorry about that anyway. But you know that when I'm pissed off I go overboard."
"Well, time for you people to go now. I have a big day at the Daily Prophet. Good night everyone!" As people said farewells, everyone Disapparated. The only people left were Ron, Harry, and Cho.
"See you people later, I have work to do at the Ministry. Papers can't sort themselves, then again..." after that statement, Ron Disapparated.
"Oh well, that leaves us two to leave," Harry said. "I'll clean up the slime from the slugs. SKURGE!" A bubble solution emitted from Harry's wand and the slime was cleared.
"Thanks Harry," Hermione said, "see you tomorrow! I forgot to tell you we have an interview session for the sports section of the Prophet."
"Ok, I'm up for it," Harry replied. "Cho, I'll Apparate with you home. That way we can talk about what I wanted to tell you."
"No problem, bye Hermione!" Cho said. " See you later! The food was great." Then the two of them---Harry and Cho--- Disapparated.
*********************************************************************************************** At Cho's house, Harry and Cho stood outside of the door. Harry had planned in his head how he was going to tell Cho about his lust for her. He would do it exactly as his fantasy was. The only thing that would change is that Harry wouldn't be getting any booty.
"This is the moment of truth," he said and they both shared a short laugh. "Cho, I have waited so long to tell you this. I have long loved you for ages. I hope that you feel the same way because I was thinking about taking you out." And to Harry's surprise, the response was just the same as his fantasy. "Harry, I have felt the same way about you, too. Starting now, let's be more than friends." And before Harry went home, they shared a rather long kiss. "Well, I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, we can go to Hogsmeade."
"Great," she said, "tally ho then."
With a small pop, Harry Disapparated. Yes! he thought, I have finally fulfilled my dream and now Cho and I are something more than friends; we are lovers.
