Chapter 6

They were in the Leaky Cauldron about to have dinner after they had finished their shopping and Cho was watching Harry nervously. He had gone deathly quiet after receiving what she thought was happy news in Gringotts. He remained quiet after leaving Gringotts, and even when she asked him where he wanted to have dinner he only shook his head and when she suggested coming to Leaky cauldron, he only grunted.

~ Flashback ~

"Can I know the pass transactions to my account?" Harry queried the goblin at the counter.

"Sure, please wait for awhile." The goblin replied and walked behind a door.

"They had been 3 transactions to your account, two on 30th June and one on 1st July yesterday." The goblin said, back after a long time in the back. "The first was a transfer of one million, three hundred thousand and fifty Galleons, two sickles and twenty Knuts from account number seven hundred and eleven. The transaction also included the transfer of certain properties, which includes a house at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London." Cho gasped.

"The second," The goblin continued, "was a transfer of properties back to your account after it was removed from a will dated 17th years ago. The will had stated that the properties be transferred to your account after your 16th birthday, which lies on the 30th."


"The last transaction was the account of a shop called the Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes with the amount of one hundred and fifty five Galleons, thirteen Sickles and ten Knuts, together with a request of transferring 5% of their monthly profits of the shop to your account every month."

The goblin looked at Harry for a few moments, expecting a reply, but Harry had remained quiet for the few seconds, before muttering a "Thanks" and turning to leave with a dazed look.

~End of Flashback~

"So what will it be?" Tom, the old barman asked with a loopy grin to his face.

"Harry?" Cho asked. And when he didn't receive a reply she decided not to disturb his thoughts and order for the food for him.

"Two steak sets" Cho said to Tom, who grin was fading fast after seeing Harry's face in his hands. "And two coffees please"

"No problem." Tom replied as he bowed himself from them.

"Harry?" Cho asked again, and when he didn't response again, she reached for his hand.

"Yes?" Harry muttered, slowly lifting his head up to face her. Cho was surprised to find that there are tears in his eyes.

"You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine…"

Cho looked deep into his eyes. "Gosh he has such beautiful eyes…"

"What's wrong?" Cho pressed to ask him. "Is anything wrong with the money?"

Harry looked at Cho. "She's so wonderful… can I tell her…?" And he gazed at her eyes, those eyes they showed him the sincerity of the words spoken.  Cho seems to have caught him looking at her and blushed.

"You can tell me anything Harry." Cho added as if she could read his thoughts, and squeezed his hand.

Harry continued to gaze into Cho's eyes. "She has such beautiful eyes…"

They continued to gaze into each other's eyes, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings. Slowly, they feel themselves leaning in for a kiss. They were only centimeters away from each other's face when suddenly someone coughed near them and they pushed themselves away, blushing furiously.

"Er… Sorry" Tom muttered, having obviously walked in to what was about to be a passionate kiss.

"No problem" Harry said in reply, forcing him to grin at Tom. However, deep inside he can't help but feel disappointed that the kiss was not to be.

An uneasy quiet settled on the both of them as they both started their meals, with each showing no emotions whatsoever on their previous situation. Cho was, however, glad that at least Harry was behaving normal again. And they were halfway through their meal when Harry spoke out.

"The money was from my god-father."

"God father?" Cho asked.

"Yes…"

"Isn't that good? I mean if your god-father is rich enough to give you so much money… I mean… One million galleons! I have never seen so much money in my life even though my family is considered rich in England."

"He's dead."

"He's dead?"

"Yes…" Harry sighed… "He died when trying me to save me… I saw him die right in front of my eyes."

"Oh… I'm sorry"

"It's alright. Actually I have forgotten about it in the pass few days… The money he gave made me suddenly start thinking about that time again…"

And they carried on talking. Harry found himself revealing his deepest thoughts about Sirius to Cho. The first time he knew he had a god father, his time with him and even the time of his death. After the conversation Harry felt as though a great weight has been lifted from his heart, and that he feels much better. It no longer hurts when he thinks about him, because at least for now Cho was there with him. Harry can't help but feel contented sitting there opposite her and he continued talking to her like he had never talked before…

It was late at night when they had finally left London to go back home. Cho had offered to send Harry home because she can apparate home anyway, although Harry stubbornly refused the offer, he relented to her when she reminded him that he can't stop her from following him home. They continued to debate over why girls shouldn't be sending guys home until they reached the park near number four, Privet Drive.

"There, we are near my home now. You can apparate back from here" Harry started.

"Why can't I just send you all the way back?"

"The reason being my relatives don't like those of our kind near them." Harry continued. "Besides you can apparate from here without fear of being seen."

"Oh Harry."

"Huh?" Harry only had time to mutter as Cho moved in for a kiss.

~

After what seems to be a long time, they finally separated. The kiss was unlike the wet kiss they had back last year; this kiss was one of passion and longing. Harry just couldn't get enough of the kiss and was about to lean in for another when some rustling in the bushes stopped him. He whipped around and looked around.

"Who's there?"

"Oh Harry, it just an animal or something…"

"Cho…" Harry turned back to face her. "You can never be sure of what lurking near you in these times…"

"But…"

Harry never had the chance to hear what Cho was about to say, because all of a sudden a figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes and lunged at him. Harry reached for his wand automatically but before he had reached it the figure had already bowled him over. He struggled up to find Cho being strangled by the figure and using the reflexes he got from Quidditch, he jumped at the figure without thought. The end result was that he was grabbed by the figure and was used as a club to throw at Cho. The both of them flew and landed in some bushes. Harry struggled up again and reached for his wand and as he grabbed his wand, he noticed the figure had a silvery hand… And he was holding a wand pointed straight at him.
