Chapter 1: Harry's new life
16-year old Harry Potter woke up, the sun streaming down from his four- poster bed. He looked around his room to find that everyone already left. 'I'm so lucky that it's a Saturday today,' Harry thought, his eyes lingering at Ron Weasley's bed a little longer before getting up to the bathroom. Once he was dressed and was going down the Great Hall, he met up with his girlfriend, Cho Chang. She beamed at the sight of him and ran to him, throwing her arms at him. Harry placed a smile and kissed her head.
"Morning, sleepy-head," she said before claiming his mouth on hers.
"Are we still on for Hogsmeade?" she asked after Harry broke off the kiss. Harry nodded. Cho kissed him one last time before entering the Great Hall, where they separated. Harry took a seat on the Gryffindor table and found himself sitting beside Ron.
"Hello Ron," Harry said to Ron. Ron looked at him, rolled his eyes and leaned to his girlfriend, Lavender Brown. The next thing Harry knew, Ron and Lavender switched seats and Lavender was now sitting beside Harry. Lavender smiled at Harry.
"Hello Harry," she said. Harry forced himself to smile before focusing on his breakfast. 'Here goes another day,' he sighed. When Harry started dating Cho, she couldn't get along with Hermione Granger and Ron and forced Harry to choose between her and his friends. Looking back now, he didn't know why he chose Cho over his friends, and as a result, Ron and Hermione hates him. As soon as he realized his mistake, he found out that he doesn't love Cho and that he's really in love with Hermione. The only thing that's stopping him is that he couldn't bear to break Cho's heart and the fact that Hermione loathes the sight of him. At that time, Harry heard Hermione laugh. He looked up from his food and saw Hermione going in the Great Hall with Dean Thomas. Harry's heart twisted at the sight of Hermione and Dean together. It was rumored that Hermione and Dean are going out, but no one really knows except for Ron, Lavender, Ginny and her boyfriend Draco Malfoy, but they wouldn't speak of it.
Hermione took a seat across from Ron, Dean sitting beside her.
"Morning Ron, Lav," she said, smiling. Ron smiled at her.
"What took you guys so long?" Lavender asked. Hermione and Dean looked at each other, hiding amused smiles.
"We were just-" Hermione started.
"-Owling Seamus," Dean finished. Hermione and Dean looked at each other once more while Ron and Lavender shared looks of confusion. Harry looked down at his food. He would give anything to be beside Hermione, instead of Dean.
"Hello Harry," Harry looked up at Dean, who greeted him.
"Hello," he said, but he was looking at Hermione. For a minute, Harry saw the pain he had caused her in her eyes, but it left the moment he saw it and her eyes had become blank before she looked away.
"Hey! Who took my muffin?" she said. She looked at Ron, who's mouth was full.
"You didn't have a muffin," he said, sending bits of food flying everywhere. Hermione wiped her face, glaring at Ron.
"Can you not speak when you're eating MY muffin?" she said, but the way her eyes were twinkling gave her away. Ron gave a lopsided grin before swallowing his food.
"So, we still on for today?" he said. Hermione nodded happily.
"I wouldn't back out on you," she said, and Harry closed his eyes. He could feel 8 pairs of eyes burning a hole on his back until he couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and left the Great Hall.

Harry and Cho entered The Three Broomsticks. Harry went over to the counter to order the butterbeers while Cho looked for a table. Madame Rosmerta smiled at seeing Harry.
"3 butterbeers, coming right up," she said as soon as Harry was across from her. Harry looked down on the ground.
"Actually, make that 2 butterbeers," he replied. Madame Rosmerta frowned.
"Ron and Hermione had another argument?" she asked. Harry shook his head, avoiding her gaze. Rosmerta saw how sad Harry was, and decided to leave him alone. When she gave Harry the butterbeers he ordered and he paid for it, he turned and almost knocked into Ron.
"Can you watch where you're going?" he cried, glaring daggers at Harry. Harry bit the inside of his cheeks to prevent from saying anything that he might regret.
"Sorry," he mumbled, and went over to Cho. Cho smiled at him when he returned.
"I'm just going to the bathroom, okay?" she said and kissed him on the cheek before leaving. Harry sighed. He didn't know how long he could take this. While he was sulking, he heard Hermione speaking.
"Why do you look upset Ron?" he heard her ask Ron.
"HE doesn't look where he was going and almost spilled butterbeer on me," he replied. Hermione sighed.
"Ron, leave him alone. As long as he doesn't bother us, we shouldn't bother him," she said. There was hesitation until Ron spoke again.
"You know I'm only doing this because of what he's done to you, right?" he said. Harry frowned. What did he do to Hermione that made Ron so angry at him?
'What do you think? You hurt her,' came the voice inside Harry's head. He sighed in agreement. He heard Hermione speak and decided to listen.
"I know that Ron, and I appreciate to what you're doing, but he's not bothering me, so I'm okay," Hermione said. Harry figured that Hermione didn't want to speak about it anymore, because she changed the subject.
"Ron, what do you say we go to Zonko's? I hear that they just got a fresh batch of dungbombs. Besides, I have to buy Dean some because he's running out," she said. The next thing Harry knew, Ron and Hermione stood up and left The Three Broomsticks, and as soon as they left, Cho came back. When she sat down, she noticed Harry, all color gone from his face.
"Are you okay, Harry?" she asked. Harry looked up.
"Can we go back? I suddenly feel ill," he replied. Cho nodded and got up, Harry following her. They passed by Zonko's, where he saw Hermione and Ron laughing at something. Harry turned away because he could feel tears welling up in his eyes and went inside the carriage to take him back to Hogwarts.
