Chapter Nine:Closed Doors

"Dissendium",Harry muttered.The humpback of the witch opened,Harry and Cho climbed in.

"This is amazing!"Cho exclaimed.Harry shut the humpback and stared at Cho.

"Do you like it?"He asked.

"Yes I do,"Cho breathtaken,"how did you find out about this place?"

"Fred and George Weasley told me about it,"Harry replied,"that passage down there".

He pointed behind Cho,she looked round and saw a narrow passage.

"Leads to the cellar of Honeydukes."

"Cool,"Cho said.She pounced on Harry and started to kiss him.Harry was a bit shocked that she had done this but thourght,"Oh well" and kissed her back.

"You do love me,don't you Harry?"Cho asked.

"Yeah,of course I do,"Harry replied,"why?"

"I just see you around Hermione Granger alot more than me."Cho replied.

"Well the fact is that she's in my House,"Harry said,"she's a good friend and is very helpful."

"Oh," Cho muttered a little down-hearted.

"It's ok,I'm not two-timing you," Harry said with a grin.

"Ok," Cho said and kissed him again.

It was 6.00pm when Harry said he had to get back to the Common Room to do some homework.He walked to the hump and pushed it.It wouldn't open,no matter how hard he pushed.He whipped,out his wand and muttered,

"Alohomora".It still didn't work.

"Looks like we'll have to sleep here tonight,"Harry said and turned round to look at Cho.She had already conjured up two sleeping bags.

"That was quick,"Harry said amazed.He dropped down to get into one.It took Harry a few hours till he went to sleep.In that time Cho had managed to slowly move towards him and his last vision was of Cho with her arm across his chest.

Harry woke up the next morning wondering why he wasn't in his four-poster bed.

"Oh yeah,"he thourght,he recalled all off the past night's events.He looked around to see Cho.She wasn't there,he went over to the hump and tried to open it.It slowly opened and Harry jumped out.He made his way to the Common Room.He reached the Portrait in five minutes.

"Happy New Year,"Harry said.This was the new password as most students had forgotten the old one.It seemed fitting because New Year was in two weeks time.There was going to be a big party in the Common Room with loads of food and drink.Fred and George had been looking forward to the party also,because they will have at last had an excuse to test out there new fireworks.Harry smiled as he thourght of what was going to happen and climbed in.Hermione was fast asleep in her armchair with Hogwarts:A History Volume Two. He chuckled and went upstairs to the dormitory. Ron was asleep and snoring loudly, Harry flung himself on to his bed and fell asleep inside 5 minutes.
