Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter and in this case I don't even own the plot…how unoriginal but I have been having some great ideas for original ones…

O wait I forgot to put in a funny quote…hmmm…let me see…heres one!
"Mistletoe," said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry's head. He jumped out form under it. "Good thinking," said Luna very seriously, "It's often infested with nargles."
Ch 10
The word around the school was that Harry Potter, George Weasley and Fred Weasley all were banned from playing Quidditch permanently. Cho felt awful, she couldn't even think of what her life would be like with out Quidditch. Then she looked over the Ravenclaw table and saw Luna Lovegood playing with a gold galleon, then Cho realized she hadn't checked her to see when the next D.A. meeting was in a long time, she quickly rummaged through her bag looking for it, she then found it and looked. The next meeting was tonight and it was the last meeting before Christmas. Christmas, I love Christmas, last Christmas Cedric bought me a--- oh I forgot he's gone, I really miss him, I shouldn't I have Harry now, well actually I don't because he still doesn't know I exist, I MUST start talking to him more so he notices me! Oh but would Cedric like that…knowing I fancy the boy who lived while he died! I'm so confused. Cho had been confused a lot lately, she often found herself crying for no reason, she didn't understand why she should be crying, but at the same time she did, it was because of Cedric.
Cho had never told Marietta how they were growing distant and that she was really getting on Cho's nerves. Marietta actually believed all that crap Umbridge was telling them and trying to follow all of her stupid decrees. Well except for decree 24 because no matter what Cho was going to make Marietta come with her for the D.A. meetings.
That night Cho and Marietta headed down to the D.A. meeting (much to Marietta's dislike) and once everyone was there Harry started.
"Okay," he said, calling them to order, "I thought this evening we should just go over the things we've done so far, because it's the last meeting before the holidays and there's no point starting anything new right before a three week break—"
"We're not doing anything new?" said Zacharias Smith, in a disgruntled whisper loud enough to carry through the room, "if I'd know n that, I wouldn't' have come….."
"We're all really sorry Harry didn't tell you, then," said one of the Weasley twins loudly.
Cho and many other people sniggered.
"We can practice in pairs." said Harry. "We'll start with the Impediment Jinx, just for ten minutes, then we can get out the cushions and try Stunning again."
Cho partnered up with Marietta and they did the Impediment Jinx to each other alternating. Marietta really was getting perturbed because she really hated being here; she was getting even more annoyed because every time Harry would walk by Cho would beam at him.
"I really don't know what you see in him, Cho," said Marietta.
Cho pretended she didn't hear Marietta, now wanting to deal with conflict; she really needed to start expressing her feelings instead of just pretending nothing was ever the matter, because every now and then she would loose it.
After the ten minutes of that they then worked on stunning, half of the class would do it at a time, when Marietta stunned Cho she did it a tad too hard, Cho seemed to think that, that was all but an accident.
At the end of the hour, Harry called a halt.
"You're getting really good," he said, beaming at all of them. "When we get back from the holidays we can start doing some of the big stuff – maybe even Patronuses."
Everyone seemed excited, slowly the room thinned out, people leaving in twos or threes. Cho noticed everyone wished Harry a Happy Christmas and she thought she ought to do the same.
Marietta looked really, really annoyed that she was still in here, and she wanted nothing to do with this. "Are you coming" huffed Marietta.
"No, you go on," replied Cho, this is it try to make it good! Oh no why am I starting to cry! Not now! This is just horrible.
Harry turned around to see Cho standing in the middle of the room with tears running down her face. God this will be great! Why did I have to start thinking about Cedric now!
"What's up?" said Harry feebly.
Cho shook her head and wiped her eyes on her sleeve. "I'm---sorry," she said thickly. "I suppose…..it's just……learning all this stuff….It just makes me……wonder whether…..if he'd known it all…..he'd still be alive." Cho couldn't believe she just blurted all that out, all she wanted Harry to do was notice her and like her, now he'd just think of her as the crybaby.
"He did know all this stuff," replied Harry heavily, "He was really god at it, or he could never have got to the middle of the maze. But if Voldemort really wants to kill you, you don't stand a chance."
Cho hiccupped at the sound of Voldemort's name, but she stared at Harry without flinching. Then curiosity took over and she quietly said, "You survived when you were just a baby."
"Yeah well," said Harry moving towards the door, "I dunno why, nor does anyone else, so it's nothing to be proud of."
"Oh don't go!" blurted Cho, sounding tearful again. "I'm really sorry to get all upset like this……..I didn't mean to." She hiccupped again, and then she thought she should apologize since she brought up Cedric when she could tell Harry was trying to forget it. "I know it must be horrible for you," she said mopping her eyes on her sleeve again, "Me mentioning Cedric, when you saw him die……..I suppose you just want to forget about it……"
There was then an akward silence, Cho decided to try to change the subject. "You're a r-really great teacher you know," said Cho with a watery smile. "I've never been able to Stun anything before."
"Thanks," said Harry awkwardly.
They looked at each other for a long moment. Cho then noticed they were standing under a mistletoe.
"Mistletoe," said Cho quietly, pointing to the ceiling over their head.
"Yeah," said Harry. His mouth was very dry. "It's probably full of nargles, though."
"What are nargles?"
"No idea," said Harry. Cho had moved closer to him. "You would have to ask Loony. Luna, I mean."
Cho had made a funny noise halfway between a sob and a laugh; she was now so close to Harry, she could see right into his bright green eyes. She didn't know what came over her. But she blurted out, "I really like you, Harry."
Cho was extremely close to him and she didn't know what was coming over her, she could no longer control what she was doing. The next thing she knew her lips were on Harry's. Cho felt very embarrassed she quickly separated from him. Harry looked as if he was just petrified. Cho blushed a deep crimson red, she was waiting to see if he was going to say anything, but what would he say….'thanks for the kiss, too bad you were crying your eyes out'. She then decided he wasn't going to and quickly left hoping he wouldn't notice how red her face was. Between her red puffy eyes to her bright red cheeks she looked like she had a tomato for a head.
