Harry and Cho couldn't believe what they saw. After a few moments, they noticed that they were still staring at each other. They blushed and smiled at each other. They turned around and faced each other's friends again. Both was very embarrassed. What could that mean. Could it be a coincident? They were thinking of the same question for a while when POP! A full serving of roast beef and mixed vegetables came out of nowhere. Then fried chicken… oyster… fish… lobster all of which are presented well and looked awfully delicious. The tantalizing aroma of the food made Harry forget what he was thinking. Harry took a part of each kind of room and placed it in his plate. Then he started eating. Enjoying every bit of taste there is in the food.

"So Harry (chomp) (chomp) (chomp) how did your little "staring contest" go?"
"What?!"

"You know (chomp)(chomp)(chomp) with Cho."

Harry was flustered. Am I that obvious.

"Nothing controversial Ron." making it as "I don't care" kind of sound as possible.

"Awww… c'mon Harry. Everyone noticed it… Right?"

"Yeah!" said Fred and George Weasley, Ron's brothers, who was just beside him.

"I told you. Nothing much!"

***

"Then why are you blushing?"

Cho couldn't say a thing. She was both embarrassed and confused.

"Let's change the subject okay."

"Well… we'll be having Herbology next class… with the Gryffindors."

"Awww… Hermione. Stop teasing me."

Cho didn't know if she was turning red with shame or white with anger. But one thing is for sure, she can't stand the torture Hermione doing to her. They finally finished their food and went straight to their next class. As they walk to the hallway, Cho gave Hermione the "silent treatment" to let her feel bad for what she had done but instead of getting mad, it seems Hermione was getting more intrigued every moment of the therapy. At last, after what sems to be a very long walk, they reached Professor Sprout's room. She gestured her hand to open the door when someone bumped at her. She felt the same shiver but this time… it was through her whole body.

"I'm sorry."

Her grip towards her books loosened and it fell to the ground. She turned around and saw the man she expected… It was Harry.

"I'm sorry" he said again.

"Don't worry, no harm, done."

They both tried to reach for her books at the same time and eventually, he touched her hand. He felt the heat rise from her hand up to her head. She quickly picked up her books and stood up. As she turned around, she accidentally bumped her ass into Harry's face.

"I'm so sorry." she said.

She quickly went inside the room feeling the indignity seeping through her bones.

***

Her ass is so soft Harry thought. He shook his head trying to shake of the memory he just created.

"So, is it soft?"

Harry reddened. He didn't expect the question.

"Umm… quite."

"Ha! Your lucky."

They entered the room and noticed that both classes was already there.

"Why, Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, it's good for you to join us. Come, seat."

Harry and Ron seated at a vacant spot.

"Now, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. We're going to work with angelic sprouts today. Does anyone know why it was called "angelic sprouts"?"

Hermione raised her hand towering everyone's which didn't even appear to move.

"Yes Ms. Granger."

"Because when they grow and become a tree, their leaves a shape that resembles the wings of an angel.

"Very good Ms. Granger. Now, I'm going to give each one of you a partner. You will work with him/her for the rest of the class. You will figure out how to make the angelic sprouts grow. Mr. Potter, kindly go with Ms. Chang, Mr. Weasley, kindly go with Ms. Granger…"

Harry was shocked. He felt like his head was going to explode. What am I going to do? He looked around and saw Cho sitting next to an empty plant box. Harry slowly went to Cho and sat just across her. Wow! I didn't notice Cho was this beautiful.

"Hi" he managed to say in a very obvious monotone.

Cho only smiled back not knowing what to say.

"I…I'm sorry about what happened a while ago."

***

Cho grinned thinking Harry's so cute when he's embarrassed. A new light struck her confidence, healing the wounds of her dignity which was recently obtained.

"If I'm not mistaken, your face says you like it."

She winked at Harry making it as irresistible as possible.

***

Harry was stunned. Could she be flirting with me? Well, there's only one way to find out.

"How did you know…? Maybe you did it on purpose."

Harry couldn't believe he said those words. He have always been very shy when it comes to girls. They spent the rest of the class teasing and flirting with each other when they heard Mr. Sprout calling their names.

"Very good Mr. Potter and Ms. Chang. How did you manage to make the angelic sprouts grow?"

They turned around and saw a huge tree which have leaves that resembles the wings of an angel. Of course they didn't know because they were too busy to even notice the change that occurred to the sprouts.

"Um…." Criiing…

"Well class, That's it for today. You may go now."

They hurriedly went for the door. When they got out, they felt a sense of freedom.

"Whew, that was a close one."

"Yeah! Did you know how it grow?"

"No, I didn't even noticed it grow."

"I thought so. Well, see you around."

Harry and Cho went to their different classes both hoping they see each other again. But what they didn't know is that their lives are changed forever.
