Chapter Four

Harry had tried to catch Cho when she was alone all week and had been unsuccessfull. Everytime he saw her she was surrounded by friends. When she had spotted him though, she always gave him a meaningful glance as though she were trying to figure out what he was thinking. Thank god she can't read minds, he thought. It was now Friday and Harry still hadn't managed to talk to Cho by the end of the day.

Harry had noticed Ginny had been acting rather weird all week. She was usually, or at least used to be quite shy but all week she had had at least one boy hanging around her, often more than one. He couldn't help feeling a pang of jealousy when he saw her with these boys. He had decided that Ginny must have gotten over him a long time ago.

Now he may be left with no one. He decided it would probably be better like that. Girls were just too much hassle. But he was still going to talk to Cho as soon as possible to see how he felt.

Harry spent the evening doing all the homework that he needed to finish whilst Hermione read a book and Ron joined him in homework. Harry saw Ginny sitting in the corner laughing ang joking with Seamus, Dean, Neville and the Creevy brothers. Harry felt another sharp pang of jealousy in his stomach.

Ron was moaning about the homework. 'How do they expect us to get all this done we haven't even got exams this year and there still cramming us even flitwick.

Ron paused 'Harry are you listening to a word I'm saying' He said.

Harry turned his head away from Ginny. 'What? Sorry I was in a world of my own'

'Yeah I've noticed that you have been all week' replied Ron.

Harry HAD to talk to Cho tomorrow so he could clear his head of girls.

The next morning Harry got up and dressed. He went down the spiral staircase to the common room to find Ron and Hermione waiting for him. He noted Ginny's absence. She usually came down to breakfast with them on a Saturdahigher absence irritated himmore than it should have in the past he probably wouldn't have even noticed.

'Morning Harry we nearly gave up on you, come on or we'll miss breakfast!' Hermione said in a slightly irritated voice.

'Where's Ginny?' Asked Harry.

'She went down to the Great Hall with Seamus' Replied Ron, not sounding or looking happy about this it obvious that that his brotherly protective instincts were kicking in.

The three of them headed down to the Great hall where breakfast was piled on massive shiny silver platteres on the four long oak wooden house tableAndalusia also on the teacher's table. Harry sat down neat to Ron and helped himself to a small portion of cereal. He wasn't that hungry.

After Harry had finished Ron asked him for a word outside the Hall. Harry had no idea what Ron was about to say.

'Listen mate' said Ron, 'Do you mind clearing off for a while today I want to talk to Hermione alone?' Harry wasn't offended by the way Ron had said this he had never been ver articulate with words.

'Sure I don't mind I have someone I need to talk to myself' Replied Harry.

'Thanks mate' and with that Ron turned to go back into the Hall.

'Hey hey wait a minute Ron you aren't getting away that easily. Why do you want to talk to Hermione alone?' Harry asked pretty sure that he already knew the answer.

Ron went slightly red. 'I er want to tell how I feel about her see if she can ever see me as more than a friend.' Ron responded looking a lot redder now.

'I think you will get what you want Ron good luck mate' Harry sgrim, giving his best friend some well needed encouragement.

'Thanks Harry'

Harry walked with Ron just to the entrance of the great hall to see if Cho was in there. He couldn't see her but spotted Ginny laughing with Seamus and this made him angry as well as jealous. He turned away and tried to put Ginny out of his mind, and went to look for Cho Chang.

First, Harry headed out onto the grounds. The sun was shining brightly and Harry needed to shield his eyes again as he had the previous week. He searched by the lake, trees near the forbidden forest and on the quidditch pitch but there was no sign of Cho. He thought of the library and decided this was the next best place to look.

He walked along the long, dark vast corridors towards the library entrance and headed inside. He spotted Cho straight away but unfortunately she was with a group of giggling girl friends as usual. Madame Prince was casting disapproving looks towards Cho and her friends.

Harry hid behind a bookshelf near the table they were sitting at. He couldn't talk to Cho with all the other girl's around so decided to wait a while. He didn't have to wait long. Cho got up and started to rummage through the shelves for a book. She gave a startled gasp, whirled round and saw Harry had walked behind her.

'Hi Harry! I didn't see you come in here!' Cho said smiling.

'No well I didn't want to disturb you whilst you with your friends. But I did want to know if you fancied coming to sit with me in the grounds for a while' Harry said smiling back.

'I'd love to' Cho gushed 'Let me just go and tell my friends I'm going.'

Harry waited outside the library whilst Cho told her friends and collected her things up. Harry and Cho walked in silence out to the grounds. This felt slightly awkward to Harry and he wondered how it made Cho feel. When they got outside Cho took Harry's hand in hers. This shocked him and he wasn't sure how comfortable he was with it.

Harry and Cho sat under a large tree she began the conversation. 'I haven't seen you all week Harry how are you?'

'I'm fine thanks' Harry replied stiffly.

'Why did you ask me to sit with you Harry?'

Harry found this question rather odd seem as she had been the one who had said she wanted to spend more time with him and he sure wasn't going to tell her he was trying to find out how he felt about her. 'Well you said something about spending more tome together' Harry answered.

'Oh good that's what I was hoping for' Cho replied flushing slightly.

Then she did something that completely shocked Harry. Cho leaned over and started to kiss him! He knew the moment Cho's lips touched his it didn't feel right. He pulled away from her kiss quickly. Cho looked startled and upset at the same time.

'W-what's wrong. I thought this is what you wanted' Cho cried.

'I did, I thought I did too!' he replied quickly 'But it doesn't feel right Cho. I really liked you, but now I have realised that those feelings have turned into me liking you in a different way I like you as a friend now, so much has changed since last year, I'm so sorry'.

'Oh' she said sadly and got up quickly.

'Wait Cho!' Harry shouted. She turned to face him but with her head lowered. 'Please don't fall out with me please say we can still be friends.'

'Ok Harry I wish we could be more but if you only want me as a friend that will have to do.'

'I'm glad you will still be my friend' Harry said.

Cho smiled sadly at him and walked away. At least now I know Harry thought. But how do I get Ginny off my mind.
