A/N: I already wrote the whole chapter 2, but thanks to someone out there, my precious work was deleted. It was such a nice chapter, and I'm not sure if this version is as nice and perfect as the original. Well, folks, got to run and punish that heartless bastard who deleted my work. Thanks for the reviews. By the way, my first story was removed. Too bad.

Review Responses:

Slim-shady's-modeling-baby: Cool name. Thanks for that review. That was the first one ever.

Gemdiamond: Sure. Let me know what your stories are so I can check them out soon!

KJ: Yes, I'm clearly aware that Cho Chang, Ravenclaw Seeker, is in fact one year older than the rest of the guys. Making up stories is what fiction is. Thanks for the review.

Kerbi: Yes, of course. What is a fiction without Draco?! He'll come to the fic... you'll see!

Schatten der Utterwelt: Is this the right spelling? Well, every fanfiction does have grammatical mistakes. Don't you realize that? Well, I'll do your advice next time. Thanks...

Slytherin-cool: Well, well, well! Thanks for thinking so!

PottyaboutHarry: Thanks a million!

Katina Wellson: It must be an error. Thanks for letting me know anyway.

Chapter 2: Caught in the Act

In Gryffindor Common Room, lots of people were grumbling about the news. Angry and dumbfounded faces were everywhere. Harry just sat there amused at his friends. Aside from Ron and Hemione, there was Ginny Weasley, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Colin Creevy, Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas.

"I don't know what's gotten in Dumbledore's mind." Ginny whined, tying her glorious red hair into a neat ponytail. Colin smiled fondly at her.

"Me, too. Can you believe he actually hired Snape as the new DADA teacher?" Ron remarked angrily, his arm around Hermione's shoulders.

"Ron, sweetheart, calm down." Hermione whispered caringly. "He may have thought Snape was the best man for the job. Or maybe he's simply giving Snape a chance."

"'Mione, there are lots of people qualified for the job. There's Lupin, for one." Harry objected, raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah. He could have stayed for another year." Lavender agreed, putting her head gently on Dean's shoulders. "He's the best DADA teacher we've had."

Hermione sighed. "I know."

Parvati, who was Seamus' girlfriend, also gave her opinion. "Well, Seamus and I think Dumbledore's nuts." She was wearing an off-shoulder top. Seamus was kissing her shoulder thoughtfully. Just then, Harry noticed Colin, who was just silent.

"What about you, Colin?" he asked. Colin looked at Harry. "Well, I think Professor Halliwell seems a good choice for a Potions Teacher." he said, smiling.

Seamus finally stopped himself from nibbling on Parvati's shoulder. "Yeah. I agree with Colin there. She seems quite nice."

"Same goes for our opinion." a voice called from the entrance. The group turned to look at Neville Longbottom and Natalie Mc Donald, who just came in.

"Where have you too been?" Harry asked worriedly. Natalie smiled at him. "That's okay, Harry. Neville and I were just walking in the garden."

"It's a Head Boy's job to make sure all are safe. Next time, you two better tell where you're going." Harry warned. Neville saluted Harry. He and Natalie then exited.

Meanwhile, in the Slytherin Dungeon, the Slytherins were celebrating with approval. Snape was there, smiling at his students.

"Yeah! Well done, Professor!" Draco Malfoy, a pale blonde cheered.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy. I'm glad Dumbledore finally got the sense to hire me as DADA teacher." Snape said coldly.

Draco steered his girlfriend, Blaise Zambini over to the dance floor. "Blaise, I've missed you." he said breathlessly. Blaise's sparkling blue-violet eyes fluttered flirtatiously, and along with her blond hair, creamy complexion and white even teeth, Blaise was the "Belle of Slytherin". Draco was the "Beau of Slytherin"

"Me, too, Draco. I've longed for you since the summer." Blaise said seductively, running her fingers through Draco's hair.

"Let's go to my prefect's dormitory, shall we? I was hoping we could... catch up on a few things?" Draco suggested. Blaise nodded, and they both went to Draco's room, and... catched up on a few things. (A/N: You know what I mean...)

Harry walked towards Ravenclaw tower, after escaping from his friends. He was supposed to meet Cho and walk together towards the Head Boy & Girl Common Room. He was running late.

He nearly reached his destination when he saw Cho waiting. Seeing him, Cho burst into a fit. "Harry! Where have you been?! I was waiting for you. I was so..."

Harry had interrupted Cho with a kiss. He deepened it, and Cho placed her smooth hands on Harry's face. "... worried about you." she finished, whispering. Harry smiled at her, took her hand and began walking.

"Sorry, sweetheart. I was caught in Gryffindor Common Room." He told Cho about the grumblings. Cho laughed. "By the way, Dumbledore chose a Head Teacher and he/she'll be rooming with us." she told him as they walked past by the Statue of Boris the Bewildered, the entrance to the prefect's bathroom.

Harry looked interested. "Really? You don't know who he/she is?" he asked Cho. Cho shook her head. They had arrived at the common room. Harry whispered the password (Quidditch Seekers) and he let Cho enter first.

The couple checked out the rooms first, Harry's in the Gryffindor Colors of Red and Gold, while Cho's in the Ravenclaw Colors of Blue and Orange. There was another room with the colors of Hogwarts, red, blue, green and yellow. Harry and Cho assumed it was the Head Teacher's room.

They went back downstairs again to sit in the common room. There was a roaring fire, and Harry and Cho snuggled in front of it.

"Cho..." Harry whispered, looking at his beautiful girlfriend. Cho's eyes met Harry's. "Yes?" she asked quietly. Harry smiled at her. "Nothing... I just want to tell you I'm so grateful to have you." he continued on whispering breathlessly.

"I love you, Harry..." Cho murmured as Harry leaned in to kiss her. She returned the kiss and soon, were snogging. Harry's lips were nibbling Cho's neck. Cho closed her eyes, enjoying Harry.

The couple was unaware that the entrance had opened, and a beautiful lady entered the room. She looked at the couch and saw two young people snogging. She just smiled and cleared her throat.

Upon hearing the "Ahem." Harry and Cho jerked up and looked at the Head Teacher. It was Professor Halliwell. "Um...hello Professor. I'm Cho Chang, the Head Girl and this is Harry Potter, the Head Boy and my bf." She said the last part proudly.

"Hello Harry, Cho. I'm Professor Jo Anne Halliwell, the Head Teacher." Professor Halliwell smiled warmly. "I'm sorry to interrupt you."

"That's okay, Professor. I must say, I'm surprised. Why is a new teacher suddenly a Head Teacher?" Harry asked.

Halliwell smiled at Harry. "Dumbledore trusted me. We're close friends. I mean, my grandfather and Dumbledore were best friends." she explained.

"Oh..." came Cho's reply. Halliwell looked at the teenagers fondly. "Don't worry, I don't mind you snogging. It's perfectly normal with adolescents. I have a bf too, but I had to leave him for my job."

Cho looked sympathetic. Seeing her look, Halliwell continued on. "Of course, we'll see each other during weekends and holidays. I've got to rest now. Good night." Harry and Cho nodded and watched Halliwell walk up the stairs.

A/N: Well, that's the story! Is it okay? Please review me. In case you're wondering why I'm using the title Caught in the Act, it's because Harry and Cho were caught in the act by Halliwell. Okay? Promise I'll make things better. Love lots!
