Cho woke up one chilly December morning, and got dressed and combed her hair. It was coming nearer to the Christmas ball and people were beginning to get asked. Marietta was already going with Terry and Abigail with George. Liana, Sky and herself still didn't have partners. Despite the fact that Cho had been asked several times whom she had turned down all of them as she was waiting for Harry to ask.

"I really want to go with Harry to the ball," whined Liana.

Cho scowled.

Cho, Marietta, Abigail, Liana and Sky all walked down to breakfast and attended their first two classes when it was break time.

"Ah, Snape gives us way too much homework." groaned Marietta.

Cho wasn't listening much; Harry had just walked in and sat at the Gryffindor table as he smiled sweetly at Cho.

"I'm going to go ask Harry to the ball," said Liana.

"No, Liana. You don't even know him!" exclaimed Cho.

"Why does it matter to you, you're not going out with him any more! And, as a matter of fact, I do know him. I met him through Dean Thomas a few weeks ago who is a friend of mine!" said Liana.

Liana stood up and Cho began to feel sick. If Harry said yes then Cho would have no other idea who to go with to the ball and Michael Corner would tease her for it. Liana began to walk over to the Gryffindor table and Cho shut her eyes. She couldn't bare to watch but in the end did.

Cho watched as Liana called Harry away from the table and into a corner. Liana was blushing but Cho was pleased to note that Harry wasn't. They were talking and Liana looked rather upset.

Finally they waved and Harry went back to sit down and Liana came over to the  Ravenclaw table looking hurt.

"He's already going with somebody," exclaimed Liana.

Cho dropped her glass to the floor causing her tea to drop on to Liana's lap.

Liana quickly performed a vanishing charm and began to eat looking furious.

Cho suddenly lost her appetite. How could Harry go with someone else to the ball? Sky and Abigail stopped their conversation as they heard this and looked over at Cho. Cho could feel the tears coming down her face.

Abigail stood up to go over to Cho but Cho couldn't bare it and sprinted out of the hall.

"Cho," called out Sky, Abigail and Marietta whilst Liana stood there. Cho reached the lake and sat down beside a pile of rose bushes and burst into tears not realizing that she was being followed by a boy who sat down and wrapped his arms around Cho's neck.

"Go away," screamed Cho, through her tears, even though she had no idea who it was.

"Cho," said the boy rather weakly, "I wanted to ask you to the Christmas ball,"

Cho lifted her head slightly and looked up into a pair of caring, sparkling green eyes.

"Harry?" Cho whispered. "How many girls are you planning to go with to the ball?" yelled Cho.

"Cho, it's not like that,"

"What do you take me for? I know you're already going with somebody else to the ball. My good friend Liana told me so. You probably did meet up with fifty other girls at Hogsmeade and I can't believe I was gullible enough to believe that you didn't and now look at you wanting to go to the Christmas ball with more then one girl!" screamed Cho in frustration.

"I'm not going with anyone else to the ball!" said Harry quietly.

"Then how come Liana has this idea that you are. I'm sure she didn't make it up!"
"Well, I told her that because I didn't want to hurt her feelings because I didn't want to go to the ball with her, I—I want t—to go w—with you." exclaimed Harry.

Cho stared at Harry and began to smile.

"Of course Harry, of course I'll go to the ball with you!"     laughed Cho as she threw her arms around Harry.

Harry smiled even broader and wrapped his arms around Cho's waist. They stood there for awhile hugging when…

"I can't believe you Harry and Cho," screamed Liana looking terribly hurt. "You broke up with Harry and now you're going to the ball with him. You knew I wanted to go with Harry to the ball and you never told me you still liked Harry. I know you used to when I read your old diary!" said Liana spitefully

"You had no right to read my old diary Liana! So I'm gathering that you read my diary and accidentally left it out and did you know that Malfoy picked it up and was about to read the contents of it before he was hit with a few spells?" screamed Cho.

Liana looked terrified and Cho could tell that Liana had not meant for Malfoy to find her diary.

"I'm going now Potter and Chang!" said Liana coolly as she walked up to the entrance hall where Marietta gave her a hug whereas Abigail and Sky looked at Liana with disgust. However Cho could understand why Liana was angry but still Liana read her diary.

"I'm sorry I had to turn down your friend Cho, but I really like you." said Harry.

"It's alright Harry. It's not your fault," replied Cho.

They talked for sometime when Cho realized they better get going to class.

"Harry, I'm so happy that you asked me to the Christmas ball." said Cho.

Harry smiled and they waved as they walked off to their separate classes.
