"Ah Harry! Quit that, I'm trying to study!" Yelled Cho as Harry was tickling her sides. School had started again and she found that the Master's program was extremely difficult but she was in her last two semesters. Harry had brought her dinner that night and watched television while she studied. Eventually he got bored and snuck up behind Cho to tickle her.
"Ah come on. I think you need to take a break," replied Harry.
"Easy for you to say. You don't have to study like I do. I have a test tomorrow!" Cho resumed her sitting position and turned her attention back to her textbook. Harry however had other plans. He stood behind her and started to massage her shoulders at first. "Oh god that feels good." Cho tried to concentrate on reading her book but was greatly distracted. Slowly he started to plant kisses on her neck, which she tried to ignore. Finally he reached his destination and started nibbling on a certain spot on her neck. This drove her wild and he knew it. Cho tried with all her will power to resist his charm but found it rather difficult. "Oh my god; Harry stop! You know what that does to me!"
"Yeah I know," replied Harry smirking.
"Why did I have to fall in love with you," asked Cho jokingly. She finally gave up studying and stood up.
"Well, you said I had a cute butt once," replied Harry smirking. Cho wrapped her arms around his neck as she drew him into a kiss. The kisses were long and passionate as the room slowly began to steam up by the second. Harry slowly staggered backwards until he hit the couch and fell backwards. Cho took this opportunity to straddle his stomach as she pulled him into more kisses.
Suddenly a knock came at the door as Cho and Harry broke apart from their kiss. Cho smiled at him, "we will continue this later." With that she got off a disappointed Harry and went to answer the door. Harry followed shortly to see who had interrupted his little session to find Albus Dumbledore and Lt Gen. Chang as well as Mrs. Chang standing at the door.
"Mom, Dad, Professor; what are you doing here?" Asked Cho. She was just as surprised as Harry to find them at her door.
"Well, we came here to speak with Harry," replied Lt Gen. Chang. "We went to his apartment first but he wasn't home so this is the next logical place to look."
"Is something wrong?" Asked Harry.
"No, but there was an important discovery that we wish to share with you," replied Dumbledore.
"Please come in," said Cho. The three adults quickly came inside and took a seat while Cho made tea.
"So what is this discovery about," asked Harry curiously.
"Well why don't you quickly scan this article by the Daily Prophet first," said Dumbledore handing him the paper:
i SUNKEN SHIP ST. ALEXANDRIA FOUND!
In 1495 the ship St. Alexandria set sail from a port in England for the new world. The ship carried massive amounts of gold, silver, and other valuables. The ship is rumored to also have been carrying many magical items that were to be brought to the new world for safe keeping. Recently a group of muggles who were SCUBA diving discovered the sunken ship 200 miles off the coast of Maryland in the United States. The discovery was reported to the local muggle authorities. When the American and European Ministries heard of this discovery, the operation was quickly taken over by ministry officials using witches and wizards of the United States military. Since this is in international waters the US Navy is conducting the operation of the recovery of the St. Alexandria. Needless to say that the ministry is secretly removing the magical items.
Rita Skeeter, Reporter for The Daily Prophet /i
"Ok, so what does this have to do with Harry," asked Cho who was reading the article over his shoulders.
"Well, the rumors are true that the ship did carry magical items," replied Dumbledore. "However these are very powerful items that belonged to Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherien. These items were sent with a wizard by the name of William Astra. When the ship never came to port it was presumed that the ship was sunken and lost forever. Now centuries later it has been discovered at the bottom of the Atlantic. We need a team of wizards to help recover these objects. We were hoping to do this quietly but obviously Rita Skeeter had to blab her mouth off. These items are powerful and if they fall into the wrong hands it could mean trouble."
"We need Harry to help because we trust him and he has security clearance as part of the US Military," interrupted Lt Gen. Chang. He along with Lieutenant Commander Jeff Queen of the US Navy will be the ones to attempt to recover the four house pendants. These are the most important out of all the items. The recovery team can take care of the rest."
"What is so important about these pendants?" asked Harry.
"Well, this is a long story," said Dumbledore.
"We have time," interrupted Cho who had completely forgotten about her studying.
"Many moons ago the world was not at peace. There were many guild wars during those times and it was not safe to venture in the streets. Many times these guilds battled anywhere they met, in other words they fought in towns. Hogsmead was as popular back then as it was now, therefore the town was always in utter chaos. There was one dominant guild in Hogsmead called Mystical Knights of the Dark Realm. Members had the words 'MK' burned into their arms to show membership. The guild master at the time went by the name of The Dreaded Lord Viper. He had his members disciplined, and there was an order of rank depending on who was more powerful. The more powerful you were, the higher your rank. If you wished to advance in rank, you trained hard because all you would have to do is challenge someone higher ranking than you and beat them in a duel. This provided incentive for his young followers to train and be loyal to their master. Lord Viper of course was the strongest of them all. They were so powerful and evil that often times they would raid towns and kill for the fun of it leaving no one behind. They never destroyed Hogsmead of course because that was their hometown. Often times another guild would declare war and challenge them. Then there would be huge battles right outside of the Hogwarts gates. The four founders of Hogwarts decided that the school needed protection; therefore the four pendants were created. Each founder had their own special pendant, and when all four were combined and a specific spell was performed it would summon the guardians. These guardians are already dead therefore cannot be killed. They will obey and serve the one who summoned them until the day they are released of their burden. Fortunately for the founders, the use of it was never needed. One day Lord Viper's right hand man betrayed him and managed to trick the guild members to gang up on him. Well Lord Viper was powerful, but not against an entire guild. Once he was killed, his right hand man by the name of Tiger came into power. Many members did not support him however and there was corruption within the guild. Eventually everything fell apart and MK was no more. Many tried to revive the name but it was never the same with out Lord Viper. Every time someone tried to imitate the name, an ex guild member who was proud would kill them on sight. As time past guilds slowly died away and became almost none existent. The threat to Hogwarts was no longer there but the Headmaster at the time felt as if the weapons were too powerful and could fall into the wrong hands. Eventually he decided it needed to be sent away to be hidden. What better place than the new world since it was yet to be discovered and there were plenty of places to hide. It was onboard the St. Alexandria however it never made it to port. There were no survivors and the pendants along with the ship were declared 'Lost at Sea' by the Headmaster."
"We trust you Harry, and need you to help us recover these before someone else does," said Mrs. Chang.
"But I'm Air Force," replied Harry.
"It doesn't matter; you have very high security clearance to do these kind of things. There aren't too many witches or wizards in the muggle military; therefore we have to make with what we have."
"Well I guess I don't really have a choice in this since my commanding officer is giving me a direct order. When do I leave?"
"Tomorrow morning," replied Dumbledore almost immediately.
"There is a C-130 on its way to Maryland tomorrow at 1000," said Lt Gen. Chang. "Plan to be on it. Once you arrive you will be met by the Lieutenant Commander."
"Anything I should bring?" Asked Harry.
"Your wand," replied Mrs. Chang. "Everything else will be provided.
"How long will he be there for?" Asked Cho. Her hands were entwined with Harry's.
"As long as it takes," replied her father.
"Don't worry dear," interrupted Mrs. Chang. "I'm sure there is nothing to worry about."
"I'll be back before you know it," said Harry reassuring Cho. He could tell that she was concerned for his safety by the look on her face.
"Don't worry hun. Harry is a big boy now aren't yah," said Lt Gen. Chang patting his back.
"I'll take care of myself, I promise," said Harry.
"Well we should be on our way," said Dumbledore. "We have much to do and so little time." Cho's parents nodded in agreement and quickly made their way towards the door.
"See you tomorrow Lieutenant," said Lt Gen. Chang. He gave Harry a quick nod and left.
"I don't want you to go," said Cho as soon as the door was closed. Harry embraced her in a hug. "I don't want us to be apart or for you to get hurt."
"I don't have much of a choice," replied Harry. "I'll come back in one piece, I promise."
"Really?" Cho looked up into his green eyes.
"Yes," replied Harry as he leaned down to kiss her. "When I get back, we'll spend the whole weekend together. Just you and me." Harry kissed her one more time before letting her go. "But you need to study now." Cho looked disappointed.
"Yeah, I guess your right. I kind of forgotten about that when you distracted me," said Cho.
"I didn't know I had that kind of power," said Harry jokingly.
"Shut up you prat!" Cho smacked him on the arm as he laughed.
"You better study or you might fail tomorrow."
"Yeah, too bad I wont be able to see you off tomorrow because of this stupid test."
"Well how about a good bye kiss." Cho's face turned into a devilish grin. She shoved him against the wall and gave him a long hard kiss. "Wow, that was one hell of a kiss!"
"I know," replied Cho smiling at him.
