Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters; J.K. Rowling does

I just read the new chapter of Until the end of Time and since I haven't read that story in a while I forgot that Cho's friend in that story is also called Valerie. So I just wanted to let you guys know that I didn't steal that character or anything. That name might've popped into my head because of that story. So if Devotion 408 is reading this don't think I copied that character. Oh, I'm really sorry that I took so long to post this chapter. I hope I still have some readers out there.

Chapter 8

Cho hummed softly as the trio walked into the Gringotts wizarding bank. She could tell Harry was listening as she hummed to herself. She smiled and stopped. Harry looked wildly around before his gaze fell onto Cho.

"What did you stop for," Harry asked her.

"Why? Do you like my humming or something, Harry," Cho asked smiling.

They suddenly heard a giggling behind them. They looked behind them and just in time to see Valerie smirking as she turned away.

"Something wrong, Valerie," Cho asked sarcastically turning to stare in front of her.

"No," Valerie said still smirking. Cho rolled her eyes and looked over at Harry. To her surprise he had pleading eyes.

"What?" Cho asked curiously.

Harry frowned and looked up ahead. They stopped in front of the desk, which was occupied by a goblin. The goblin was writing on a piece of parchment and its nose was touching the desk.

"A-hem"

The goblin looked up and looked surprised to see that someone was there.

"You've got the wrong desk if you're going to get gold. People only come here if they have a complaint and we haven't had a complaint since 1569."

"Oh-er-sorry," Cho said. They then walked away from the goblin to a different desk. As they gave the goblin all their keys Cho turned to Harry.

"Huh…I've never gone to the wrong desk before," Cho said raising one eyebrow.

"Me never," Harry agreed.

They looked behind them to see if Valerie agreed along with them, but they didn't see her behind them. Cho looked wildly around to find Valerie flirting with Roger Davies. Cho rolled her eyes and turned to stare in front of her.

"You know where she is," Harry asked leading the way to the cart. (I don't know what they get into.)

"She's over there flirting with Davies," Cho said disgusted. She didn't know why, but she hated Roger Davies. Having her best friend flirting with him got her mad.

"You say that as a bad thing," Harry said jokingly.

"You know Mr.Potter I would be walking over there pulling Valerie back to us if you weren't holding my hand," Cho said. She said the words 'holding my hand' as sweetly as she could as if it were the best thing in the world.

"Are you jealous," Harry asked politely so Cho wouldn't get mad.

"Not at all, I hate Davies."

"Hey, what about Corner?"

"Oh him, I'm not going to see him 'till we're at Hogwarts," Cho said calmly.

"Hope we don't run into him today, I guess," Harry said getting into the cart.

Cho stumbled into the cart and fell into Harry's arms. She looked up, her face and inch away from his. Her eyes full of admiration, Harry the same. Their faces were getting closer every second. Finally their lips met bringing them into a five second kiss before the cart jerked and started to fly down the track. Harry and Cho embraced each other until the goblin in the front that was ignoring the couple snapped its fingers and the cart came to a stop. Harry got out of the cart and walked to the door of his vault that the goblin was leading him to.

"Here you go sir," the goblin said lazily opening Harry's vault.

Cho watched Harry sliding gold into his bag. Then she noticed the letters that Mrs.Chang gave Harry in his back pocket. She shrugged and decided to ask him about it later. When Harry turned around Cho smiled at him. Harry climbed into the cart and the cart was speeding down the track further underground to the Chang's family vault. It was getting colder and colder and Harry had his arms around Cho to keep them both warm. When the cart stopped Harry looked Cho.

"Why is it so far down," Harry asked her curiously.

"Our family's vault has been here for nearly 300 years," Cho said simply. (Sorry if it doesn't make sense)

She climbed out and followed the goblin to the steel vault surrounded the grayish-blue stones. The goblin opened the vault and Cho walked in. It dark except for the candles lit by the blue colored flames so everything was blue. Cho saw Harry shiver out of the corner of her eye.

"Cold," Cho asked loudly forgetting that she was supposed to get gold.

"No…it's just that last year—," Harry trailed off and suddenly looked grave.

"Harry what's the matter," Cho asked rushing over to Harry.

"We're going to leave soon so you better get your gold," the goblin said.

"Just a sec, okay," Cho said impatiently, "Harry? What's the matter?"

"N-nothing, j-just get your g-gold," Harry said looking down, "don't w-worry about it."

Cho looked at him in concern, but walked back into the vault and got her gold. She climbed in and sat on Harry's knee. He put his arms around her, but she didn't feel any warmth, just misery. They sped off up toward the surface. Cho kept on glancing at Harry. When they reached the surface they climbed out of the cart slowly. Cho made a grab for Harry's hand, but he already put both of them inside his pocket. They walked out of Gringotts and Harry separated from Cho a little. A boy nearby walked toward Cho blocking her from joining Harry. Cho noticed who it was and glared at Draco Malfoy who had an evil grin on his face.

"What do you want," Cho asked through clenched teeth.

"I thought you would like to see me," he said evilly.

"For your information I don't, why would ever want to see you?"

" 'Cause I thought you would like a kiss."

"No I—GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Malfoy grabbed her and pulled her close, but then a hand on his shoulder twisted him around to find an enraged Harry. For once Malfoy felt afraid of Harry. (I wasn't trying to write it as Malfoy's point of view, but I couldn't think of anything else.)

"What are you doing," Harry asked as he pulled Malfoy away from Cho.

Cho could see fire in Harry's eyes. She heard of the rumors about Harry and Malfoy being arch enemies, but she never would believe she would see so much rage in Harry.

"What? Jealous that I will try to pull my charm on her while you can't have her anymore?" (Sounds a little stupid, but go along with it.)

"Well tough luck, her and I are already going out."

"Yeah right," Malfoy said lazily and grabbing Cho, but Harry grabbed Malfoy's should and turned him around and punched him.

"Harry!" Cho shrieked but she grinned at the same time.

Harry and Malfoy threw each other on the ground. A wizard about in his thirty's came forward and separated the two. Cho's mouth fell open.

"Professor Lupin?" Cho asked startled.

"Hello Ms.Chang, but I am not a professor anymore so just call me Remus."

"Professor Lupin," Harry asked and Cho was surprised to see he no cuts or anything, but she was really surprised that she heard anger in his voice.

"Call me Remus, Harry," Remus said. (I'm going to start calling him Remus even though he won't be in this chapter very long).

Remus had white streaks of hair on his head and his robes were shabby. He looked as tired as ever.

"You're not tailing me are you," Harry snapped.

"Of course not, I'm just here to make sure you got those letters," Remus said. "Oh and watch that Malfoy kid, he might be in league with Voldemort (Cho flinched) just as his father was."

"Well for your information I got those letters and plus I can take care of myself!"

"Harry! Be nice," Cho exclaimed.

Harry didn't say anything and he looked down sadness in his eyes.

"I'll be leaving now, er-it was nice to see you again Harry," Remus said and he disappeared into the crowd.

Harry was still staring sadly at the ground.

"Harry? Harry what's wrong?" Cho asked hurrying toward Harry. She quickly noticed the five letters in his back pocket and she snatched them. Harry looked quickly at her.

"Can I look at these," Cho asked sweetly. Harry didn't say anything for a moment and then slowly nodded. Cho opened all the letters before creating the pile of parchment to read.

"Huh?"

Cho looked at the first four pieces of parchment, which had no writing on them.

"Er—that's written in invisible ink, er—it's the last one that is not with invisible ink," Harry said nervously, "er—can you read this somewhere else…please?"

"Why—," but she was cut off when Parvati Patil shoved her and smiled at Harry.

"Hi Harry," Parvati said cheerfully, "I was wondering if you would walk me to the Leaky Cauldron, if it's all right with you of course."

Cho saw for one breathless moment as Parvati put a hand on Harry's arm. She pulled herself together and walked up to Parvati.

"A-hem, excuse me," Cho said coldly but calmly.

Parvati turned around and seemed confused on what Cho wanted.

"Er—what's up, Cho," Parvati said slowly. (sorry if you don't like how I'm doing this).

"I'm fine, but I was talking to Harry before you came."

"Fine," Parvati then turned to Harry and then smiled, "I'll see you at Hogwarts Harry."

Cho stared after Parviti and then Cho turned toward Harry and said, "is there any special relationship between you two?"

"No. She used to ignore me all the time."

Cho shook her and said, "now…let's look at this letter."
