A/N: Heya folks, did you miss me? Sorry I haven't updated over the weekend but I've been busy. I hope everybody had a great 4th of July cause I know I sure did. We launched fireworks and went to this great party. There was this one chick that does this really cool thing with her, oh wait there might be children present. Anyways this chapter will pretty much be about Cho. I know a lot of you want Cho and Harry together and are afraid its not going to happen but don't worry it will. I hope I don't make a whole bunch of mistakes because I have this really good turkey bacon sandwich in front of me and I keep taking bites from it.
************************************************************************
It had been a week since Starlet had arrived in California. The two sisters spent the week shopping and catching up on old times. It was as if they were reliving their childhood days all over again. Cho didn't know how she had gone so long with out seeing her sister. She gave her little sister advice about boys and what she should and should not do. That morning Starlet was growing restless as she waited for her sister to wake up. The late night movies they watched the previous night had worn Cho out and she slept in much later than usual. Finally after she could no longer wait she woke Cho up herself.
"Cho wake up!" yelled Starlet. Cho only mumbled. "Wake up Cho!" There was still no response of her willingness to get up. Starlet went out to the kitchen and filled up a bucket with water. Returning to the room she warned her sister, "If you don't get up I'm going to dump this bucket of water on you." Cho did not hear anything she had said and instead just flipped over to her side. Starlet walked over and dumped the bucket of ice cold water onto Cho. Cho's natural reaction was to scream and then chase Starlet all around the apartment. She had always been more athletic than her sister, especially since she played Quidditch back at Hogwarts. In no time at all she had caught her sister and pinned her down. She then dragged Starlet, who was fully clothed, and threw her into the cold shower.
"That's what you get," said Cho jokeingly.
"I'll get you back," replied Starlet with a grin. "So what do you want to do today?"
"Um, you want to go surfing like we used to?"
"Oh I haven't been to the beach in ages! I hope I can still surf like I used to."
"It's like riding a bike. Once you learn you don't forget." Soon they were dressed and ready to hit the beach. Cho stopped by a friends house to borrow two surf boards before continuing on their trip. The beach was fairly close to where she lived so it did not take long before they hit the waters. After claiming a spot in the sand by putting out a beach blanket and their stuff they paddled out to meet the waves. Surfing had always been a child hood sport for both girls since they lived so close to the ocean. When she was younger it used to be her outlet to relieve anger or stress. When she came to Hogwarts she could only surf in the summer so she had to learn to live with out it. Unknown to Cho though there was a stranger on the beach who was paying extra close attention to her actions.
The two girls wiped out and decided to head back to shore for the day. Starlet was afraid of wiping out at first but the natural feel of being on a board came back to her. Soon she was riding as if she knew how to do it all along, which she did. She just had to remember how it was done.
"That felt so good!" yelled Cho as they lay down on the blanket. "I forgot how good it feels to surf. I'm going to bring my board to my apartment so I can do this more often."
"It's been years since I've surfed," replied Starlet. The two girls just lay on the blanket looking onto the horizon at the setting sun.
"You know when I surf it feels as if I'm free. I know it's only for a few moments but it feels so good. For those few moments I have no worries or cares. I'm free to the world and there isn't anything that can touch me." Starlet could tell that this came from the heart but could not help but give her sister a weird look.
"How poetic Cho," said Starlet with a hint of sarcasm. Suddenly a shadowy figure appeared behind the girls and startled them. Cho sat up and turned around to meet the gaze of a blue-eyed stranger.
"Oh hey, sorry if I startled you," said the stranger. He had blond hair that spiked backwards was built of muscle. His blue eyes shined out on his perfectly tanned skin. "My name is Brian," said the stranger flashing a white smile.
"I'm Cho and this is my sister Starlet," replied Cho.
"Hi," said Starlet.
"Hey, I couldn't help but noticed that you have a lot of talent surfing. You were really good out there," said Brian looking directly at Cho.
"Uh thanks," replied Cho who blushed.
"Do you want to have dinner with me some time? Maybe tonight?"
"Well I don't know I might be busy."
"No she's not!" said Starlet. "She accepts your invitation for dinner tonight." Cho was completely shocked by this. Her sister was accepting a date for her.
"Great, here's my number," said Brian as he handed Cho a business card. "Give me a call and I'll pick you up in two hours." With that he left before Cho could say anything else.
"Starlet. what the hell was that? Why did you tell him I would go out with him?" said Cho as she gave her sister a deadly stare.
"It's time you go out with another guy Cho. Besides, he was cute! So are you going to call him?" Cho looked down at the business card that said "Nite Life Entertainment, Brian King 435-8765.
"I guess I don't have a choice now do I. Unless I want to avoid the beach in LA for the rest of my life."
A/N: Nite Life Entertainment is an actual business in the San Francisco Bay Area so I borrowed their name since I live around here.
"This will do you some good Cho," said Starlet. They drove home as Cho took a quick shower and dressed. After hesitating for a moment she picked up the phone and called him.
"Brian here, talk to me" said Brian as he picked up his phone.
"Hey this is Cho," replied Cho.
"Oh hey, you ready for me to pick you up? I don't know where you live so you need to give me directions."
"Actually how about we meet at club Impakt. You know where that is right?"
"Yeah I know where it is. Are you sure you don't want me to pick you up? You could ride in my Corvette with me."
"Yeah I'm sure. I'll meet you there in half an hour."
"Ok, I'll see you then babe." He hung up the phone before Cho could even say good-bye.
"Why did you let him pick you up?" said Starlet who was watching Cho the whole time.
"I don't want him knowing where I live yet. In case it doesn't go well I don't want him trying to find me." Cho dressed very casually and half an hour later met John at club Impakt. When she pulled up John was already waiting for her at the entrance.
"Hey, shall we go and dance?" asked Brian.
"Sure," replied Cho who avoided his arm and went in ahead of him. Brian quickly followed behind. The club was packed with people since it was the most popular club in town. Cho recognized a lot of people because they went to UCLA with her. "This might not be so bad after all," said Cho to herself.
************************************************************************
Cho came home very late to find Starlet asleep on the couch waiting for her. Cho tried to quietly make her way to the bedroom as not to awake her sister. Cho woke up the next morning to her sister hitting her in the face with a pillow.
"You didn't wake me up last night! I want details woman!" yelled Starlet to a half awake Cho.
"Alright alright!" said Cho who was sitting up wiping her eyes.
"So what happened?" asked Starlet excitedly.
"Well. I met him at club Impakt and we danced for a while. I tried to blow him off many times but it didn't work. So we sat and talked for a while and everything seemed to be going ok. It wasn't as bad as I thought." Cho could see that Starlet was eating up her every word with interest. "So then we went and got a bite to eat and sat outside of the club since its right by the beach. We talked some more and then he kissed me."
"He kissed you? That's so cool! I knew you and him would make a good couple!"
"I told him I can't see him anymore," said Cho interrupting Starlet.
"What! Why?" She could not believe what her sister had just told her.
"Because when he kissed me, it didn't spark. I felt nothing except a kiss. It wasn't magical or anything. I knew it would never work out, plus I'm not ready to date."
"I can't believe you! You get all the cute guys but you don't want any of them!"
"Looks aren't everything Star," said Cho as she lay back down and went to sleep. She knew there was more to the fact that there was no spark. She knew that he wasn't Harry.
************************************************************************
Ron Weasley sat in the Chudly Cannons locker room silently waiting for the match to begin. England had made it to the World Cup this year to play against Bulgaria the defending champions. He is nervous, as this is his first time playing in the World Cup rather than watching it. All his teammates seem to share the same vibe as they all dressed in silence. Upon entering they didn't even acknowledge each other. Everybody kept to themselves and used their own method to shake off the jitters. They could hear the large crowd that had gathered outside the stadium. Everybody was fighting to find their seats while vendors were selling snacks at outrageous prices. Two minutes before the game started team captain Robert Black stood up and addressed his team.
"Look, I know this is our first time here and Bulgaria has won the World Cup for the past few years, but that doesn't mean we cant. They can't win if they can't score Ron so stay at those hoops. Beaters, I'm depending on you to cripple Krum so he can't catch the snitch before Annie here does. Remember, we're not here to play dirty. We're here to play aggressively and win." Everyone seemed to nod in agreement but nobody said anything. They all stood up and got ready to fly out as the introduction of the line up was being announced.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Quidditch World Cup 2000! I will be your host today, Lee Jordan," came a voice booming magically over the pitch. "Today promises to be an exciting match as England is playing against the defending champions Bulgaria! Let us take a moment to meet the stars of today as we introduce the starting line up. From England we have Robert Black as team captain also playing the position of Beater." The crowd erupted with cheers and applauds as Robert mounted his broom and flew out to the pitch. "Playing the position of Beater for England is Bradly the steel man Reel! Playing the positions of Chasers are Roger Smith, Katie Bell, and Mike Le!" The crowd once again roared with applauses and cheers. There were many hoots and whistles as Katie Bell's name was announced. "Playing the position of Seeker is the beautiful Annie Anderson!" Annie mounted her broom and flew out to the pitch just like the rest, as there were more hollers and whistles as well as applauses and cheers. "And last but not least, the famous red headed keeper Ronald Weasley!" The crowd seemed to become even louder as Ron mounted his broom and flew out to join his teammates.
A/N: I don't know who plays for Bulgaria other then Krum and I don't know how to make up names that should go with the country so I'm going to just put up names.
"Now that we have the home team on the pitch, lets bring on the visitors! Coming from Bulgaria we have team captain Victor Krum playing the position of Seeker!" There was a mixture of applauses and boo's since this was the Cannon's stadium. "Playing the position of Beaters are Preston Wong and Jennifer Crodo!" There were loud applauses this time because Jennifer was a beautiful dirty blond woman who was very attractive. Ron knew that looks could be deceiving because Jennifer was one of the toughest Beaters in the league. She gave him a glance and both acknowledged each other. "Playing Chasers for Bulgaria are John Gelder, Richard Spearman, and Kristen Wells!" The three Chasers flew out to the pitch to join their team. "And last but not least we have Bulgaria's Keeper, Nick Zimmer!" The crowd once again was mixed with applauses and boo's.
Ron looked around at the stadium. He was very nervous and looked to find Hermione sitting in the stands with his parents and siblings. He gave them a quick wave and turned his attention back to the game at hand.
"Team captains meet in center of the pitch to shake hands." Robert and Victor shook hands and resumed their positions. "There go the bludgers and the quaffles. There goes the snitch!" A golden ball flies out of sight as it zigzags around the field. "Let the games begin!" All the players shoot off on their amazing fast brooms. Being as how this is professional Quidditch they always have the top of the line brooms and in this case it was the Viper Strike. The latest model built to be faster and have a better turning radius than the Firebolt. "Katie Bell has the quaffle as she passes to Chaser Mike Le who scores on Bulgaria's Keeper Nick Zimmer! Ten to nothing England!" The crowd applauded loudly. At that exact moment a bludger came and hit Mike right in the left arm as he fell from his broom. Katie who was close by quickly caught him as England called a time out.
"Alright Mike is out so we're down a chaser. That just means we're going to have to double our efforts in scoring," said the team coach Jerry. He then turned his attention towards Robert and Bradly, "I want you to take out their seeker if you cant but I want to make it even by taking down a Chaser!" The two nodded and turned towards the field as the game was about to resume.
"England is playing one man down!" came the voice of Lee Jordan.
There were a series of applauses as Mike Le was carried off the field to receive medical attention. The game resumed as Gelder had the quaffle who passed it to Wells who passed it back and fourth between the two of them as they approached Ron. He had to quickly make a decision on who was going to attempt to score and quickly made a dive left as Gelder shot the quaffle at him. Barely being able to hit it he hit it across the pitch to Roger who quickly got ahold of it and went the other direction. "Lucky save," thought Ron to himself. Kristen gave him a nasty look as she went to the other end of the pitch.
"Nice save by Ronald Weasley!" said Lee Jordan as the crowd cheered! Suddenly Krum flew across the pitch quickly followed by Annie. "Krum has seen the snitch! He's pulling into a dive and Annie is hot on his tail! Krum pulls straight out of the dive, he pulled a Feint but that didn't work on Annie!" Annie pulled right out of the dive just in time when she realized he was bluffing. Ron was busy watching the seekers and almost missed a quaffle heading his way. "Another save by Ronald Weasley!" Just as this was said a quaffle went into one of the loops. "Oh tough luck Ron, the score is now ten to ten!" The game continued with neither teams scoring even with the fact that Bulgaria had the advantage of another player. Suddenly Annie flies directly at Ron who dives out just in time as she flies right to where he was a second ago. "Anderson has the snitch! Anderson has the snitch! England wins 160 to 150! Where was Krum? I didn't even see him heading towards it!" The crowd roared with applauses and hollers as Annie flew around the pitch for a victory lap. Jennifer Crodo flew over to Ron who was celebrating their victory. The two looked at each other before embracing in a hug.
"I told you we could beat you Jen," said Ron.
"You did good Ron. I'm proud," replied Jennifer. Everyone watched as the two players from opposite teams congratulated each other. While they were still hugging Ron looked up at the announcer box to Lee Jordan and gave him the go signal. Ron then took Jennifer and flew down to the center of the pitch where all the other players were gathering. Suddenly green magical letters appeared in the sky of the stadium as Ron directed for Kristen to look, "JENNIFER, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" She looked stunned and turned to see Ron on one knee holding a box with a diamond ring to her. The crowd went silent as they awaited her answer.
"Yes Ron! I'll marry you," said Jennifer as she picked him up for a kiss. The crowd erupted with applauses as the engaged couple stood in the middle of the stadium kissing. Ron then put the ring on her finger.
"There you have it folks, the new Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," said Lee Jordan. "Breaking the hearts of many fans as they become and engaged. Sorry to all you young men who desire her heart but to you ladies who cant have Ron's heart I am still available ladies."
A/N: I know this is a Harry/Cho fic but the whole Ron part plays into the story. They wont be big factors in the story so don't worry.

"Yes Ron! I'll marry you," said Jennifer as she picked him up for a kiss. The crowd erupted with applauses as the engaged couple stood in the middle of the stadium kissing. Ron then put the ring on her finger.
"There you have it folks, the new Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," said Lee Jordan. "Breaking the hearts of many fans as they become and engaged. Sorry to all you young men who desire her heart but to you ladies who cant have Ron's heart I am still available ladies."
A/N: I know this is a Harry/Cho fic but the whole Ron part plays into the story. They wont be big factors in the story so don't worry.
