Chapter 5

To his dismay, he didn't know where to find Cho. "I must remember to fix a more specific place when I meet people." He made a mental note to himself and walked down the lane, but he had not gone more than a few steps when he noticed Cho standing outside a shop. He was about to sneak up on her and surprise her when he discovered that she was talking to somebody, somebody who he hates deeply. Cho was talking to Draco Malfoy.

Harry stood there, stunned for a moment. "Why is he with her?" Harry pondered. But he didn't have a long time to ponder it because suddenly he saw Draco move his face towards Cho and Cho frantically tried to move back. Harry immediately snapped into action, all doubts erased at the sight of Cho's reaction. He pulled out his wand, pointed it at Draco and muttered.

"Slippous"

~

Draco didn't even know what happened but he found himself on the floor the next instance. He slowly stood up, red-faced with his sleek blond hair over his face. Cho fought hard to stop laughing.

"Guess the floor is very slippery around here." Draco muttered, pushing his hair out of his face to where it originally belonged.

"Maybe the floor can't stand you kissing a girl on it."

The voice that said those words sounded very familiar to Cho. She turned her head and to her gladness, she saw the very person she was waiting for.

"Harry!"

~

Harry can't help but grin when Cho immediately ran towards him and gave him a really tight embrace.

"You're late" Cho smiled at Harry.

"Well, I got caught up in something." Harry muttered, going red over the fact that Cho had hugged him.

"Well well… the orphan himself, Harry Potter." Draco sneered at him. "I didn't know Cho like cry babies."

"I don't know about that but I'm sure she wouldn't like a ferret that can't even stand up properly."

Draco turned red and reached for his pocket, but Harry merely pointed his wand at him. (The wand was already in his hand when he used it to hex Malfoy.)

"Get lost Malfoy, before I hex you. And remember to watch your steps."

Draco stared at Harry and Cho for a while before stalking off.

"I don't like him" Cho started, staring at Draco's retreating back. "He really thinks being pureblood means he's very eligible."

"Thank god you've arrived." Cho continued, glowing at Harry. "I would rather die than to let him kiss me."

"Well…" Harry blushed even further; Cho had not removed her hold on him.

"Come on Harry, let's go." Cho said as she pulled Harry towards Gringotts.

It was arguably the happiest day of Harry's life. While walking down to Gringotts , Cho had insisted on bringing Harry to shop around at Diagon Alley when Harry disclosed to  her that he didn't have any chance to shop for he was always stuck at Privet Drive. When they arrived at Gringotts, Harry withdrew some money for the day. Cho was astounded by the huge amount of money in his account and couldn't help herself but to ask him why he had so much money.

"Well… All these are left to me by my parents and some are from…" Harry stopped.

"Why? What's wrong?" Cho inquired at the pause.

"I don't recall having so much money…"

At this point of time, the goblin that was with them interrupted Harry.

"You can check your transaction details at our main lobby, but can you hasten things? It's a busy day for us."

"Ok." Harry replied and was about to step out of the cart when Cho pulled him back into it.

"Can we go to vault three thousand and thirty?"

"Of course" The goblin replied, and with a snap of his fingers, the cart moved off.

"What are you doing Cho? I haven't got my money out yet." Harry mouthed at Cho

"Never mind your money, you need to keep it. Today everything's on me"

"But…"

~

A few minutes later, they stepped out of Gringotts, with Harry's money bag still the same weight as before, and Cho's heavy with coins. Harry had a short argument with Cho over him using her money but Cho had silenced all his objections with a swift kiss on his mouth, resulting Harry too surprised to do anything and Cho able to do what she wants. But as they headed towards the shops a little later, Harry had managed to get away from Cho by saying he left something in Gringotts and returned fifteen minutes later with money he withdrew from his account.

Harry had thought that he had already lost interest in Cho, but as days go by, he can't help but to feel more attracted to her. They went to all the shops in Diagon Alley. Cho had insisted that Harry get new clothes and he tried on that clothes Cho had selected for him in all clothes boutiques. Then they spent time arguing over what to buy and who should be paying, which Harry ended up winning when he took away Cho's moneybag while she was trying to pay. However he was forced to buy whatever Cho think it looked nice on him. They had lunch at a café and then continued with the shopping spree, which Harry happily continued paying (Cho's money bag was still with him). They went into one shop after another until finally they were stuck at the shop, Quality Quidditch Supplies, looking at a new broom, the Nimbus Three Thousand, which is the fastest broom after the Firebolt.

"Maybe I should buy this broom, then I can have better chance of winning you in Quidditch."

"You can try Cho, but I don't think it will make a difference." Harry grinned at Cho, resulting in another friendly argument, which Cho gave up when she reminded herself that she wouldn't be able to convince her parents to allow her to buy the broom. They continued walking around and it was in the late evening before they discovered the time.

"Guess it's time to go back?" Harry mentioned to Cho.

"Yeah… I guess so…"

"We'll need to stop by Gringotts… I want to check my account."

"Sure…" Cho replied and they carried walking towards Gringotts.

"Harry?" Cho started after awhile.

"Yes?"

"Can you spare some more time? We can grab a bite." Cho continued. "And also I want to chat with you more."

"Yeah sure… My relatives will accept whatever things I do since my friends had threatened them, so I guess I can spare the time." Harry replied, hardly noticing that Cho's words had a sad tone in it…

Yes another chapter finished. I had finally got myself a beta reader!!! So hopefully my story would be more readable now. Hope you guys like it. Somehow I feel I missed out something but I just can't put my finger on it. Tell me if you discovered it. Please Review!!!

Yeah for those who were wondering, I will be reposting my previous chapters after my beta reader is finished with it. So although the story remains unchanged, you may want to read it from the start again. This chapter will have some changes to it, sorry about it but I seriously feel I missed out something, so I'll edit this chapter again. I will notify you, my dear readers, about the changes in this chapter in my next chapter so that you don't have to read this chapter again. This MAJOR reposting (at least to me) will be finished by the time Chapter 6 is up. So if you guys want to re-read the story, it's best to re-read after I post chapter 6. I'm really sorry!!! Anyway, here are my thanks again:
