Cho was walking down the hallway not in her usual self. Her once perfect blue eyes was now dull and lifeless. Her rosy cheeks was very pale and her dazzling lips was not smiling. Guilt… Shame… Forbidden Love… she didn't know which one she felt. All she knows is that she had once again betrayed Cedric not only in her thoughts but also in her actions. She muttered the password and entered the dormitories. Everything she looked at appeared to be sad. Her bed look sad, the seat look sad, the walls looks sad, even her Smiley pillow look sad. She laid down her bed and thought about the recent events. What did I do? I mean… it was good while it lasted but… Damn! What am I thinking? She burst into tears until she was tired and went to sleep.

Only half of the sun could be seen right now. The colour was reddish-orange which marked sunset. Ron and Hermione was walking down the green grass at the side of the lake. They sat under the nearest tree they could find. This is perfect, the beautiful sunset with gorgeous Hermione beside me. This is a dream come true
"Hey Ron… Look! The first star. Make a wish."
"Um… okay."
There was a bit pause till Hermione tapped Ron at the back.
"So Ron… what did you wish for?"
Now is the time Ron. Say something sweet, lovely. Don't screw up. Ron gently placed his palm under her's and look straight at her tantalizing brown eyes. He faced her with all of his pride and dignity set aside. When he was ready, he said…
"I wished… that the one with lovely brown eyes and matching elegant brown hair. The one that caught my eye ever since I started studying here at Hogwarts. The one that always visits my dreams every night. The one that had been my inspiration and will always be a part of my life. The only one that my heart cherished in my whole life."
"Yes…"
"Hermione… I've always wanted to ask you this but I sort of didn't have the courage. But… Will you be my girlfriend?"
Hermione was shocked. She didn't expect Ron to be this sweet. She blushed and said…
"You're so sweet Ron… how could I say no?"
"You mean…?"
""Yes Ron, I'll be your girlfriend."
Hermione placed her head on Ron's lap. Tears start to form in her eyes. Ron touched her chin and slowly raised it. Hermione gave in and it resulted with a very intimate kiss. Everything is perfect for them. A sweet kiss in a sweet night. Nothing could replace this experience…

Cho woke up with troubled thoughts. Memories of yesterday still haunt her. But the better part is she didn't have the dream for the first time. There's a catch though. This time, Harry was all over her dreams. Whoa… what a nice day this would be she thought sarcastically. She took her usual morning shower then changed. She combed her hair and was ready to go with Hermione at the great hall. They met at the common room but since it was a bit early, they sat down for a while. Hermione was the one to strike a conversation.
"Cho… guess what."
"Guess.. "What""
"Rona asked me to be her girlfriend and I said yes!"
"Really? That's great!"
"Yeah.. He as so sweet. He said lines that I never thought possible to come out from a man's mouth. I mean… he was so romantic."
"That's great Hermione!"
Hermione noticed that Cho wasn't paying attention. Of course, no one knew her better. They have been friends since their first year.
"Okay, spit it out."
"What did you say Herm?"
"I said spit it out. You're so obvious Cho. Is that dream bothering you again?"
"Well… no."
"Then why. Enlighten me with your words."
"I… sot of… kissed someone yesterday."
"Well… It's normal to kiss Cedric right?"
"The thing is… it's not Cedric."
"Wow?… who is it then?"
"Harry… Harry Potter."
***
"Really? You kissed Hermione?"
"Yes…Yes…and Yes. You asked me that 3 times. What's the big fuzz anyway I mean… You were the one who told me to make my move."
"Well… nothing."
"Hmm… You're hiding something. I know it."
"No I'm not."
"Well… if you don't want to tell me."
"Oh… okay. I sort of ki8ssed someone too yesterday."
"What? And you're making me kissing Hermione sound like a big thing. So… who's the unlucky girl."
"Unlucky… what the? Anyway… It's Cho Chang.
"Cho? You don't mean Cho "Cho"?"
"Yes… that Cho."
"Let's talk later. Professor Dumbledore is gonna make the announcements."
Harry and Ron are already at the Gryffindor table. They turn around to face Professor. They noticed that Dumbledore already stood up to make the announcements.
"Everyone hear me please as this is a very important announcement. As I said yesterday, the Quidditch season was cancelled and as far as I could remember… I also promised something better. Well… brace yourself. At Saturday, Durmstrang and Beauxbaton will be coming to our school. I am happy to announce that the Triwizard Tournament will be held here at Hogwarts this year."
Cheers came from all the tables. Even Slytherin who doesn't always participate joined in with the cheering.
"Further instructions would be announced at the arrival of the other schools. Well, I think that would be the only announcement for the day. So… let's chow down.
