Chapter 4
Cho walked into her room with Harry; he was eyeing one of the Tornadoes posters. Then his eyes fell upon the crumpled pieces of parchment on the desk.
"Trouble with homework," Harry asked raising one eyebrow.
"Er- yeah," Cho lied. Cho was trying to make an apology letter to Harry, but didn't think any of her letters would satisfy him. Now that she knew that Harry was afraid of her reaction when they would see each other she didn't have to write one, but she still wanted to apologize to him. 'Oh shoot' ,Cho thought when she looked at the crumpled pieces of parchment, 'what if he picks up one of the letters and reads it?' She was grateful when Harry stepped in front of one of her Tornadoes Posters to look at the team up close.
"They don't seem like a bad team," Harry commented. Cho took the chance to carry on the subject.
"My mum might be able to get tickets to see one of their games this summer," Cho said delightfully as Harry clung on to every word she said.
"Really? What's your Mum's job," Harry asked curiously as his face brightened.
"She's a Daily Prophet reporter and so far she's on top of the list," Cho said smiling.
"Where's your Dad," Harry asked, "if you don't mind my asking."
"No it's perfectly all right, he's a Archeologist and is in the United States right now, he's a muggle," Cho said beaming even more now that Harry was really interested about her family.
"Did you er- ever go to a muggle school," Harry asked embarrassed that he sounded a lot like a reporter doing an interview with Cho.
"Well…no, my parents sorta knew that I was going to get into Hogwarts," Cho said pleasingly.
"So did you take muggle studies," Harry asked blushing in the face.
Cho blushed also since Harry had taken an interest about her life.
"Er-no."
They continued on about what Cho did when she was young and when she first caught a glimpse of Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express. She didn't dare to ask about Harry's past since she knew what he had gone through of his sixteen years. Then a question Harry asked made both of them blush furiously.
"Er-are you-are you still- still going out- going out with Michael Corner," Harry asked stuttering over his sentence he had just asked.
Cho now saw it in his eyes, she saw jealousy and hurt in his eyes when he mentioned Michael's name. He seemed to want to know the answer really bad.
"Not that I know of," Cho said trying very hard to keep a straight face.
"Grea-oh-I mean, I'm really sorry if it didn't go that well," Harry said who was trying very hard from smiling, but gave up and now he was showing his biggest smile Cho had ever seen him do. She smiled at him as he tried yet again to hide his smile.
"Why do you care so much," said Cho starting to flirt with Harry leaning closer to him, raising her eyebrows. Harry blushed crimson. Cho knew Harry wasn't expecting this reaction.
"I-er," he broke off unable to finish his sentence as Cho took a step toward him and he took a step back.
"Come on Harry, spit it out," Cho said softly as she took another step toward him.
Harry opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Cho smiled at him and took another step toward him, Harry was unable to take another step back because the bed was in the way. Cho took another step toward him and closed the gap in between them. She looked up to find Harry completely shocked. She then lightly kissed his lips.
"Harry I really like you," Cho said quietly and this time Harry made the move.
They shared a long kiss until they heard the door click. They broke apart as quick as they could and turned to face the door trying to look innocent, but the door was closed. A second later the door opened again and Mrs.Chang peered in looking around.
"Just wanted to tell you two that dinner's ready," Mrs.Chang said looking at the both of them with an odd look, "so come downstairs when you're ready."
With that she left, Cho looked at Harry nervously.
"I think she knows," said Cho nervously, "I think she was us kissing."
