A/N: ::Bangs head on desk:: Stupid writer's block! I just could not think
of anything to write for this story, I'm thinking about ending it soon,
maybe one or two more chapters then end it and go work on my other fics.
Review and tell me if you think I should end it soon or make it longer,
okay? Also, I have thought of a song that I will be putting the words to in
these ~ ~ I know I said I wouldn't be doing this but I couldn't help
myself, the song seemed to fit. Oh, yes, it's "Kiss from a rose" by Seal.
Some guy walks in: The only two songs you use are both by Seal? You wouldn't happen to be a fan?
Me: ::Rolls eyes:: Oh, no ::sarcasm ensues:: I can't stand that beautiful soft rock music and his wonderful voice.
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter I would live far, far away from my family and have many computers and DVDs and a HUGE indoor pool and many other things but what I've got is more than what I need anyway. J.K.R. owns it, the lucky girl.
~*~ December 8th ~*~
It was a fine Saturday afternoon, rather cold but that's to be expected. Harry and Cho lay stretched out by the lake, trying to guess the names of the birds that were singing. It was so peaceful . . .
(A/N: BOOM! Haha, jk, I'm not going to ruin one of Harry's rare peaceful moments.)
'I wonder what Voldemort is up to.' Harry thought, staring up at the clouds. 'Is he planning an attack on Hogwarts or biding his time to gather more strength and more of his followers? I feel like I should do something but I don't even know where Voldemort is.' He went on thinking about these things until Cho's soft voice broke into his thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked.
"Nothing much," replied Harry.
She studied his face for a moment; "Is something bothering you?"
"I was just thinking about where Voldemort might be and what he might be doing."
"I wouldn't worry about that, Dumbledore won't let anything happen to Hogwarts," said Cho.
"I know, but Voldemort can still be hurting people, I can't help but feel like I should stop him since it's my fault he came back."
"It wasn't your fault, Harry, there was no way you could've known," said Cho, stroking his hair. Before she realized what she was doing she kissed him.
Harry was stunned at first and pushed back, blushing furiously, but then they both slowly leaned in and kissed each other, softly and passionately.
Harry felt like a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders and all the world seemed a bit brighter after that kiss; amazing what a simple, brief kiss can do.
~There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea, you became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.~
Snowflakes drifted down and set into Cho's hair and eyelids, she sparkled like a fairy tale Snow Princess. Harry gazed over her, love in his eyes.
~ But did you know that when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the Grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the Grey.~
Cho smiled at him, her face shining, the snow adding a glitter-like effect. 'I didn't think it'd be possible to make her look more beautiful but the snow adds more magic to her appearance,' thought Harry. He hesitated slightly but then caressed her face and she leaned into his touch.
~ There is so much a man could tell you, so much he can say.
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain.
Baby, to me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the Grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom
On the Grey.~
They gazed into each other's eyes, saying a million things without a single sound escaping their lips. Love swept over them both and Harry felt sort of apart from himself, like he was a different person. He leaned closer to Cho and kissed her softly, it was strange to him, he had never kissed a girl before this day and he didn't quite know how so needless to say he was nervous but this seemed so natural and he let his instincts take over.
~ I've been kissed by a rose on the Grey.

They broke apart, both smiling widely and went up to the castle, holding hands. A strange feeling indeed, but strange doesn't mean unenjoyable.
It was time for dinner so they walked into the Great Hall, heads turned as they walked to the Gryffindor table holding hands. Whispers ran through the Hall but for once Harry didn't care, he didn't have a care in the world, as long as he had Cho. They ate, drank, talked, and laughed, oblivious to the stares of the other students, only Ron and Hermione didn't seemed surprised.

Harry walked Cho to the Ravenclaw common room, kissed her goodnight then headed up to Gryffindor Tower. He stayed up to do his Potions homework then went to bed, falling asleep with a smile on his face.
~*~
The next morning he woke up early and went down to breakfast and just starting his meal when he heard a cold drawl behind him.
"Potter, what were you doing with Chang? She wouldn't have you, you murdered her boyfriend," drawled Malfoy.
"Go away, Malfoy," said Harry.
"Answer my question, Potter," said Malfoy, eyes narrowed.
"Go away, Malfoy," Harry repeated.
Malfoy was just about to hit Harry when Cho walked in and kissed Harry on the cheek, ignoring Malfoy completely. "How are you, Harry?" said Cho.
"Fine, Cho, I was just telling Mr. Malfoy to leave," said Harry.
"Oh, I didn't have the misfortune of noticing him," said Cho coolly, smirking.
Malfoy glared and walked off.
Harry and Cho both grinned then began eating.
