Here is yet another chapter! This chapter might be a sort of soap opera-ish, but bare with me. Whoo-hooz for the reviews! I love how some of the same readers review because that means you guys find my story interesting enough to keep on coming back. Hehe. Thanks!

Fyre Pixie- After what happens in this chapter, Mr. Chang will be furious with Harry. As for your question, Professor LeBlanc does seem like the perfect person to be Rita, doesn't she? That way, she knows everything that is going on and so she can write about it, but I'm not going to give any definite answers yet. Good observation though.

Cheryl- Professor LeBlanc doesn't work for Voldemort (or does she?), but you are a very good thinker in this story. No, you're not annoying me by reviewing a lot; I love reviews! : )

Heather- Here is another chapter for you.

Raven*Beauty* xxx14xxx- Thanks for loving my story "no matter what". : )

ER- That's a really good question, where will Harry and Cho live with the baby? Hogwarts is definitely out of the question though.

Out of my League- Okay, I'll try to speed up in the chapters instead of dragging on. We'll be moving to Christmas in a few chapters or so.

Chessmaster60- I'll try!

Meow- Cute name! Thanks for your compliments!

Shdurrani- Thanks! I hope you like this chapter as well.

Chapter 9- Ravenclaw against Gryffindor

Cho was in History of Magic and daydreaming. She was dreaming of illusion charms that would make her appear normal, not changing. Her mother's Best Book of Baby Spells worked for sickness and some fatigue, but she couldn't figure out the hormone charm yet. It was very complicated.

Cho was frustrated at how she cried at everything. Yesterday, she sobbed when she found out the first Quiddich game was to be tomorrow. Against Gryffindor. She was upset because she didn't want her house to be against Harry's. How could she be happy if Harry's house lost? If they won, how could she be joyful?

She had tears over this and then in frustration because she cried, she ran off to the Ravenclaw common room and snapped at everyone to leave her alone.

Now, Cho was sitting quietly dreaming of illusion charms. She remembered all the sudden, of the Dursley's reply to Harry. Harry had showed her yesterday evening when she came out of the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was fussing over her and made her weary with hundreds of tips.

Harry looked both amused and confused when he handed Cho the letter. Hedwig delivered it and Harry said he was surprised the Dursleys just experienced owl mail for the first time.

It read:

Harry,

We have received your letter and we are not surprised that you would do something like this. We reckon you have impregnated about a hundred girls, and don't you think we'll be taking care of the youngest Potter while you are there at that horrible school.

Is it here yet? Because if it is, keep it at that revolting school. And by the way, who would want to marry you? Is she a witch?

Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia

PS: We have officially decided that since you are a father and with a family, you can go get your own house. Please pick up everything in your room at first chance.

Cho looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow. "Why would they ask if I'm a witch, if I go to Hogwarts?"

Harry shrugged.

Cho looked at the letter again. "What is here? They said something about keeping something at----" her face color changed. "Oh, I can't believe it!" she said, her face furious. "They were referring to the baby as 'it'! Oh!" Cho said in frustration.

Harry had never seen Cho mad before and this was his first time. He watched in surprise and Cho took out her wand and set a burst of flames to the letter and then still furious (Harry was scared to approach her), set out bursts of flames from her wand into the air.

She did this for about twenty minutes and then put her wand away. "Harry, I am never visiting your relatives. Forgive me, but I don't think they'll care to see me anyway."

She marched off and Harry ran after her.

"Cho, it's okay, I tried to tell you before that the Dursleys doesn't like me or any magic people at all." He said running aside her.

Cho didn't say anything; her face was set in an angry shade of red. Instead, she quickly snapped, "Leave me alone, Harry!"

Harry ran after her. Boy was Cho fast!

"Cho!" Harry panted, calling. "Cho! You shouldn't be running…oh, come on. Don't get mad at me!"

Harry took out his wand and hoped that this would work. It worked last year. In a loud voice, he said, "ACCIO FIREBOLT!"

His hand found the handle of his broomstick that came flying to him. He got on and sped after Cho.

'Man, is this pathetic.' Harry thought. Cho was pregnant and running faster than he was on a broomstick.

In a few seconds, he caught up with her and she was surprised to see Harry on a broomstick. She stopped and said, "Where did you get---"

"Cho," Harry said in a quick breath. "Can you not run every time you feel angry or nervous? I mean, the time with your parents I can understand, and I can understand you being angry at the letter, but honestly, it's not going to do you any good."

Cho gave Harry a look. "Harry, you don't seem at all offended by that obscene letter."

"Well," Harry gave a sigh. "I've lived with the Dursleys all my life. I'm used to them like that." He saw Cho's face and said quickly, "Of course it's not right, but that's just them. And I'm sorry for what they said Cho."

They paused and then Cho said, "Ok, it's not your fault anyway. I'm sorry."

She looked at Harry's firebolt. "I wish I could play Quiddich."

Harry thought quickly as an idea came upon his mind. It was a good idea, it'll please Cho and maybe even be romantic. What about the rules? Harry decided it wasn't against it. He looked at Cho and said, "Have you ever been on a firebolt?"

Cho shook her head. She looked at Harry curiously.

"Come on," he said and Cho, after hesitating some, got in front of Harry.

"Hold on, Cho." He said and kicked off the ground. They rode off higher and higher, into the sky.

Cho was smiling and Harry was very relieved she wasn't bursting with anger like a few minutes ago.

"I haven't been on a broom in ages." Cho said. She looked at Harry and said, "Thanks."

Harry grinned. "No, problem."

They rode for awhile, and what seemed to be coming to a romantic date stopped because then----

"POTTER! YOU COME DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" McGonagall's voice, sharp and crisp called from below.

Both Harry and Cho's smiles faded and Harry descended to the ground.

"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? HAVING CHO RIDE ON A BROOMSTICK? AND TWO PEOPLE SHARING ONE, NEVERLESS! HIGHLY UNCALLED FOR!" Professor McGonagall said taking Harry broomstick away and looked as if she was going to strike him with it.

They had followed Professor McGongall back into the school and they were sent into her office for a long lecture of the insecurity of flying with more than one passenger and Cho's health in danger as she was up in the cold air.

Cho broke out of her remembrance as class ended. She smiled. Harry had been awfully nice to let her ride a broom. She missed flying. They were lectured severely for it, but it was worth it.

* * *

"Alright team, this is it, our first game of the year. Everyone practiced hard, especially you, Katie," Fred said and gave her a smile. George lifted his broomstick and almost whacked Fred over the head, but Katie Bell caught it. She gave George a look.

The Gryffindor team walked out into the field. A deafening applause awaited them. The Ravenclaw team was dressed in blue and they were holding their positions already. Maggie Hallspell, the Ravenclaw seeker replacement had strawberry blonde hair and gray-blue eyes. Harry recognized her as one of Cho's visitors from the hospital wing.

Harry scanned the crowd for Cho, but couldn't find her. He saw Ron and Hermione though, seated beside Seamus and Ginny and Neville. Ron was….holding Hermione's hand? Harry's eyebrows raised up; Ron saw Harry, and he quickly dropped his hand. His face turned as red as his hair.

"Shake hands," Madam Hooch said. Fred shook hands with the Ravenclaw Captain.

"Mount your brooms….on your mark….three---two----one----"

Harry kicked off into the air and immediately began the search for the Snitch. His ears picked up Lee Jordan's commentary.

"And the game's begun! The first game of the season. Maggie Hallspell, the new Ravenclaw seeker is substituting in for Cho Chang, as we all know about Harry Potter and his little deed with Cho---"

"Jordan, do you mind focusing on the game?" interrupted Professor McGonagall.

"Right, just giving the information of why Maggie is up there instead of Cho. They're friends you know, and Maggie is quite a good looker---"

"Jordan!"

"Sorry, Professor, ok there goes one of the Bludgers, hit by George Weasley. Look at it soar across the field----"

Harry was seeking for a glimpse of gold. October was coming to an end and the Halloween feast was going to be in two days. It was getting a bit cold. Maybe that's why Cho couldn't be spotted. Maybe Madam Pomfrey whisked her away because of the chilly weather.

Maggie was close to Harry, keeping the same watch for the Snitch as he did. She was a good flier, but not nearly as talented as Cho, Harry couldn't help thinking.

"GRYFFINDOR SCORES! TEN TO NOTHING!" Lee Jordan just announced.

Katie Bell had scored with the Quaffle. She had a bright smile on her face.

"GO KATIE!" Fred and George said at the same time. They gave each other mean looks.

Harry cheered for Katie and then out of the corner of his eye thought he saw a glimpse of gold. He soared above, and raced toward that direction.

"Was that the Snitch?" Jordan commented, as the crowd of spectators muttered and looked toward Harry speeding off with Maggie following closely.

Harry thought he saw it; the Snitch was flying very fast. Then below him, he saw Cho smiling up at him encouragingly. He was surprised to see Professor LeBlanc a few seats away by the teachers' section cheering for Ravenclaw. She was busy sending pretty sparks of blue off her wand in support for Ravenclaw. He thought she'd be cheering for Gryffindor. He also caught sight of Snape, looking disgustingly at Cho. Hagrid suddenly emerged and gave Harry a big smile. Dumbledore, however, was no where to be seen.

The sight of Cho's support made Harry's heart leap. He did a loop in the air and reached down to touch Cho's hand.

"HARRY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lee Jordan's voice broke in. "YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING FOR THE SNITCH, NOT FLIRTING WITH YOUR FINANCEE!"

Harry soared up into the air. Maggie had lost sight of the Snitch and so did Harry. The whole crowd was now chattering excitedly about Lee Jordan's announcement.

"They're engaged? Did I hear right?"

"Well, of course. I expected them to be."

"Uh, Harry and Cho are engaged by the way," Lee Jordan announced. "Not sure of the wedding date yet, but I expect---"

"Jordan do you mind keeping your mind on what's happening in the game?"

"Sorry Professor. Gryffindor's in possession, and it looks like Alicia Spinnet is getting ready to score again with the Quaffle, looking good! Oh no---Quaffle is intercepted and headed toward the Gryffindor post---but wait, Fred Weasley's great work with the Bludger knocks the Quaffle free. Caught by Johnson and she takes it back to Ravenclaw's post---she SCORES! TWENTY TO ZERO!"

Harry cheered and zoomed across the field to let off his happiness. Then he saw something that made him stop. A tiny, gold speck was a few feet below, right in front of the teachers' section.

Without thinking twice, Harry zoomed toward the Snitch and flew with Maggie following close by.

"Hurry!" Harry told himself.

"Hey look at Harry go, and look at Cho cheering him on. Honestly, cheering for the other team---" Lee Jordan commented.

"Jordan, would you mind keeping your mind off the Potters, and---" Professor McGonagall realized what she had said.

"They are not married yet," Jordan said, smiling.

"I know that!" Professor McGonagall answered, fully ashamed of herself.

He was almost there, with Maggie only a feet or so behind him and then he opened his hand and grasped the golden ball.

"ALRIGHT!" Harry cheered.

He pulled out of the dive and everyone exploded in whoops.

Six scarlet blurs zoomed toward Harry. Harry's eyes widened as they hugged him tightly and Fred said, "Great start of a season!"

"Superb scoring there, Katie," George said grinning at her.

"Thank you," Katie replied.

Fred immediately left Harry's side and went over to Katie.

"Very wonderful." He said to her. Harry watched as Fred and George went off, each standing beside Katie.

Harry came down to the ground as a group of friends ran towards him, he saw Ron's red hair immediately. But Cho was first to reach him.

"Congratulations!" She said. "I know I'm not supposed to feel happy about my team losing, but I can't help it Harry, I'm so proud of you."

She caught Harry in an embrace and Harry's grip on his broomstick was let go and the Firebolt fell on the ground.

Everyone cheered at the sight of Harry and Cho. Now, instead of sneering at the couple, they welcomed them, and they knew about the engagement.

"Come on! I expect a good party with Hogsmeade sweets to be on pretty soon," Ron said, winking at Harry.

They walked off toward the school; Harry saw Ginny, unsmiling by herself a few feet behind the crowd.

"I'll be at dinner in a minute," Harry told Cho and she smiled and nodded.

He fell behind the crowd as they entered the castle and then told Ron that he had to use the bathroom. As the crowd went off to the Great Hall for a celebration feast, Harry turned and walked toward the upset Ginny.

"Ginny," Harry said, concerned of her frown. "Why are you upset? We won."

"I know," Ginny said quietly. She looked up at Harry.

"Oh Harry," Ginny sobbed. "I just can't stand it!"

"Stand what? Gryffindor winning?" Harry said as subtle as every boy when it comes to a girl's feelings.

"No, just the sight of you and Cho, in each other's arms." Ginny said.

"But Gin, I'm engaged to her." Harry responded. "Gin, I'm sorry, but you and I have broken up about a month ago."

"I know, Harry, it's just so hard." Ginny said weeping.

"Gin," Harry said, near speechless. He didn't know how to respond. What could he say would make Ginny feel better?

"Harry, will we still be friends?" Ginny asked.

"Of course, Ginny." Harry answered immediately. "I still admire you and I want us to be friends."

Ginny nodded, but she was still crying. "I miss you, Harry."

Harry reached into his pocket and felt one chocolate frog left. He handed it to Ginny.

"I hope you're always happy, Harry," Ginny said. "This is goodbye to us." And she reached up and kissed him on the lips. She was held there for at least 3 full minutes and Harry, as stunned as he was, couldn't help kissing Ginny back, so warm and so sweet.

They broke apart, and Ginny, looking into Harry's eyes said, "I might be younger than you, but I am not immature. I love you Harry. I hope you have everything you want."

Then, she ran off.

Harry turned and walked toward the Great Hall. Suddenly, from the corner, emerged Cho.

She didn't say anything at first; her face was so hurt Harry almost felt a physical wound.

"How could you kiss her?" was Cho's only question.

A/N- Cho's father is going to be completely furious with Harry now. A lot of your review predictions are really good and well thought out. In chapter eleven, though, something might change your minds about who is the "bad guy". Or if there IS a bad guy. Just a little note though, I don't think any of you will really like how I wrote the ending to be. Especially what happens to someone Harry loves so much. But, just a little warning in case you guys send me a bunch of howlers. Hehe. As always, please review!
