Harry wanted to look his best. He was going on his first date with Cho Chang since they officially became a couple. After the incident last year, he wasn't sure if Cho wanted to go on a date with him ever again. He needed to make it right this time. He needed to leave a good impression.

Harry checked his robes one last time, admiring himself in the mirror. He wore a green, muggle suit. He went down to the great hall later joined by Hermione and Ron.

"Harry, you taking Cho out?" Ron asked reluctantly.

"Yeah,I think we're spending the day shopping around Diagon Alley, dinner by candlelight topped off with a stroll along the beach."

"Sounds romantic." Hermione commented, she seemed like she was hinting Ron about something.

"Where are you two going?"

"Oh, dinner and walk around Hogsmeade . then we'll see." Ron did have something up his sleeve.

"I gotta go guys, Cho is supposed to meet me in 2 minutes by the gate. I better run. Have fun!" Harry ran off.

"Hello Harry!" Cho greeted him by the doors. She looked beautiful in her marine, velvet dress. Harry just stood there and stared at her for a few moments. "Is something wrong? Do I look ok?"

"Fantastic, marvellous, incredible, beautiful, you name it." He swooped down to kiss his girlfriend. Cho blushed as red as a beet. She took his arm and walked to the chariots.

Diagon Alley was a little street full of magical shops. The autumn air was filled with delightful smells of the nearby bakery. The sun shone brightly overhead as Harry and Cho happily walked down the alley hand in hand. They would stop now and then to look at something in the shops.

They stopped at the Florien Ice Cream Parlour to rest for a bit. Cho was admiring her new bracelet that Harry just bought for her at Madame Emerald's Jewellery House. It was a 20-karat white gold with small sapphires all around it. Cho was at a lost of words when he showed it to her. She decided to show her appreciation by kissing him enthusiastically right in front of Mme. Emerald.

"You must be Mr. Potter." The waiter said. And showed them to their seats. "Romantic dinner for two on the balcony. Is there anything I could get you sir? Miss?"

"I'd like a bottle of champagne please, the best in the house. And two glasses."

"Right away, sir." He bowed and backed away.

"Oh Harry, you've outdone yourself1" Cho exclaimed. She was very impressed.

The two shared a romantic dinner followed by a dance on the balcony while the enchanted violin played a slow tune. The voice of a female sang the song.

Like an angel out the sky you came Clearing up al the clouds, the sadness the rain So pure and healing was the love you bring I knew inside . It felt so right

For me I've struggled all my life To find that thing that makes it right With you it seems I have found Some other kind of love

"May I have this dance?"

"Oh, Harry!" Cho blushed. They gently swayed to the soft music. Cho rested her head on his shoulder everything was perfect.

I will love you all my life Always be by your side And I will give you all I have

'Cause you love me peace and joy . again, again, again

"This is so romantic Harry. There's nothing better you could've done."

"Anything for you Cho." Harry kissed her ear and she gently blushed. " I love you." He whispered.

I was scared to let go and trust your love After what I've been through I had enough Whispering through your eyes you never said a word But something said . your heart's safe

For me, I've struggled all my life

To find that thing that makes it right

With you it seems I may have found Some other kind of love

A friend is what you'll always have in me I am so grateful for he man you turned out to be And it doesn't matter who you happen to meet You'll forever be . a sacred part of me

The rest of the night was spent eating and talking about mostly quidditch. Harry would often stare at her, admiring her beauty by candlelight. Cho would blush or drown in his emerald eyes.

"What did I ever do to deserve you, it must've been extremely amazing to deserve a girl like you." Harry said, still staring at his girlfriend. Cho thought it was romantic what he just had said but then she remembered that Cedric had once said the exact same thing. Guilt once took over her body. She felt as if Cedric was watching them. Harry noticed her uncomfortable state.

"Is something wrong Cho?" Harry asked in a soft, concerned tone. She shook her head, not wanting to admit that she felt guilty being with Harry to him yet. It would totally crush him and spoil the night.

"I can sense it, is it the food? The music?"

"No Harry, I'm fine." He wasn't convinced.

"Is it . me?" He asked.

"Of course not."

He decided to speak no more of it. She knew that Harry now was worried.

"Harry, I love you." Cho tried to comfort him.

"I love you too." Harry was a little more relaxed but not completely.

They once again kissed. Tears were falling involuntarily from Cho's eyes. This had never happened before; she felt Cedric's presence when she kissed Harry. She used to always enjoy the kisses with Harry; she felt safe and truly loved him.

What's happening to me? Cho thought and pulled out of the kiss. Harry was truly confused now. He looked worried even.

"Cho?" A male voice asked. Cho gasped .
