After climbing stairs, for quite awhile Cho finally reached the landing where the owlery was and as Cho walked in she saw that Harry wasn't there yet. Cho waited for a few seconds while Filch glared at her when in rushed Harry.
"Well, well, well, It's Harry Potter and he's late," growled Filch
"Sorry, Mr. Filch," panted Harry as his eyes darted around the owlery and he leapt back in shock when he saw Cho standing behind Filch. Harry was obviously not told that she would be here.
"Cho? What are you doing here?" asked Harry."
"I've got detention w—with you, it seems," replied Cho not taking her eyes off Harry.
"Now, now stop that chattering, you will be scrubbing the owlery without magic and I do not want to see a bit of grime on the owlery when I return. If by some silly reason you have chosen to use magic, Professor Snape will be performing a charm to check whether you have so I'd be careful if I were you. Nighty-night." said Mr. Filch as he walked off without a backwards glance.
There was an awkward silence where Cho and Harry stared at each other. After awhile Cho became aware of what she was doing and blushed deeply. Lucky it wasn't too light.
"So who's your boyfriend now Miss Cho Chang," said Harry shyly but coolly.
"What, you think I'm a player?" demanded Cho as the anger rushed through her veins deeply.
"Well, you went from Cedric to me to Corner. What else would you call yourself?"
"Well, at least I'm not meeting 50 other girls at Hogsmeade while you're on a date with me!"
Cho began to feel frustrated but now it seemed that Harry was just as angry now.
"I never met 50 girls after I—I went to the tea place with you." Exclaimed Harry
"What about Hermione Granger. You know the smart, pretty girl you always hang around with? Huh! What about her. I know perfectly well you met up with her!"
"Well, she was the only one and that's beside the point because the only reason why I met up with her was because it was the only time that I was able to tell the world the truth about Voldemort. You know the interview in the quibbler. It was the only possible time I was able to have an interview. "However Hermione didn't tell me why I had to meet her because she was in a hurry but she told me it was very important." said Harry softly and rather slowly.
There was a silence where Cho registered all the information that Harry had just fed her.
"So, that's the reason why you met up with Hermione." gathered Cho.
"Yes,"
"Harry, I'm so sorry. I am really sorry. I—I thought that you liked Hermione or something and that you were double-timing. I—I never dreamed it was something quite necessary. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
"Well, if you did l—like me enough to get really jealous then how come you went out with Michael Corner?"
Cho stared, what was she going to say???....
"Will you tell anyone what I'm about to tell you?" asked Cho.
"Not a soul," replied Harry promptly
"Well, the only reason why I agreed to go out with Michael, was to—to make you jealous but I feel so bad about it now to keep it short." said Cho.
Harry just looked at her and he didn't appear astonished. Cho supposed he had already worked that out and just wanted to hear it from Cho herself, in person.
"Yes, I can forgive you. I suppose we just misunderstood each other." said Harry
"Yes, I quite agree. I mean, we all make mistakes!" replied Cho
Harry smiled at Cho and Cho returned a grateful smile. She was relieved she was on proper speaking terms with Harry again.
"Well, we better get to scrubbing these walls without magic. It might take awhile. said Cho as she began to pick up some detergent.
Harry was busy fumbling through his bag.
"Don't worry Cho about scrubbing without magic. That will take ages and ages. I have a much more efficient way.
"But, we're not allowed to use magic, Snape's checking," muttered Cho.
"No worries, Snape just doesn't know about this kind of magic because it's not a type discovered by the world yet. I got it from Fred and George Weasley. (And Harry pulled out a cloth). I don't know the ingredients though but all I know is it works. All you have to do is place the cloth on the floor, step on it and say the cleaning charm. By standing on this cloth, is has some kind of charm that will not allow anyone to know you have cleaned the walls by magic."
"Wow," whispered Cho. "Okay, let's go."
After Cho and Harry had said the charm, the owlery was clean as ever and even the owl's feathers were no longer ruffled.
"I must thank Fred and
George for that, its pretty cool. I suppose they made it for people in
detentions." said Cho.
"Yeah, but that's not all when Snape comes and does a charm to see if we've
used any magic, all the grime from the owlery will land on him." said Harry.
"But, won't he blame us for that?"
"He'll try but we will stand outside the owlery so he can't can he?"
"I suppose," replied Cho.
"What are we going to do until he gets back?"
"We'll just wait around," said Harry
"Alright," Cho replied.
There was another awkward silence while both were using their brains frantically to think of what to say to each other.
However after a few minutes, Cho asked what Harry wanted to be when he got out of school. After talking for about half-an-hour about the subject, that conversation ended and there was a little silence.
"Oi Cho, your little sister, Yen-Lee is really cute." exclaimed Harry as he smiled at Cho. "I can see the resemblance between you and her. She wants to be a chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team even though she's only a first-year. She's trying out and so is Mark (my niece), to be chasers, They're both really good I've seen them practicing with each other. They're like best friends."
"Really, cool, I haven't spoken to Yen-Lee for awhile. How is she going?"
"She's great, very smart and cheerful." replied Harry. Harry and Cho talked for another two hours when they heard footsteps coming up to the owlery."
"It was nice talking to you Cho," said Harry
"Yes," replied Cho breathlessly. Harry moved towards her and hugged her and Cho returned a warm hug for about a minute when…
"Ahem," growled Mr. Filch as Snape stared at them in disgust. Snape performed a charm and Harry and Cho were delighted to find that Fred and George's trick worked. All the grime that was cleaned up by the cloth zoomed on to Snape who was now covered in dirt and owl droppings. Cho slipped Harry a grin which Harry returned.
"What is going on here? Is this some kind of trick?" shouted Professor Snape
"No," chorused Harry and Cho in unison.
"Well, that will be another detention for you two and this time you will be in my office under my eye. 100 points from Gryffindor and 50 points from Ravenclaw as I know this whole trick was your idea," shouted Snape looking so angry
"Now, you two are to go straight to your houses." said Mr. Filch looking extremely angry for some reason. Professor Snape and Mr. Filch walked away with Mrs. Norris who glared at them and then followed Filch.
"Well, we better get going, bye Cho," said Harry.
"See you around Harry," replied Cho as she kissed Harry on the cheek and waved walking away leaving a rather stunned but joyful Harry. Cho quickly walked to her common room and realizing it wasn't that late finished all her homework while Liana helped her. Cho noticed that Abigail wasn't back yet. After awhile, Cho grew tired and went up to bed.
