*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"MR. POTTER!" Professor McGonagall practically screamed. "I CANNOT BELIVE THAT YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

Harry opened his mouth to speak but found that he couldn't. He looked around and he was in Professor McGonagall's office, though he didn't have a clue as to how he got there. He also saw Cho sitting on a couch crying. Harry again tried to speak again but was cut off

"Of all the students here. I never thought that you…" McGonagall seemed to calm down slightly but she was still red with anger. Harry didn't know what to think. "How could you do that to Cho? If you did what we think you did than you most likely will be expelled."

Harry didn't know what she was talking about. The last thing he remembered was lying in the Quidditch pitch next to Cho. He had no clue how he got to McGonagall's office. He still couldn't talk. Professor McGonagall opened her mouth again but a different voice came out.

"Harry," it said.

Again, "Harry."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Cho was sitting in the dewy grass on the Quidditch pitch looking over the sleeping and mumbling figure of Harry.

"Harry," she said for a third time. "Harry, wake up."

She shook Harry gently and he stirred and his eyes fluttered open.

"Wha-?" he said still not fully awake. Then his vision came into focus and he saw Cho looking over him. He had slept with his glasses on, something he rarely is ever did. "If only I could wake up to that every morning."

Cho laughed and bent over to kiss Harry. Their lips met briefly in a good-morning kiss.

"I love you," Cho said.

"I love you, too," Harry replied. They gazed into each other's eyes for a minute. Cho looked like the Angel of the Morning looking over Harry while her face was silhouetted against the rising sun. "You look so beautiful. Like an angel straight from heaven."

Cho smiled at Harry and kissed him on each cheek. "What time is it, love?" she asked.

Harry moved so he could see his watch. "Five thirty," he replied. It was early.

"That's good," Cho said. "We really should get back to the castle before anyone thinks we're gone or did something other than what we did."

"Yeah," said Harry remembering his dream. Then he and Cho got to their feet. Harry made sure he had the Marauder's map still in his robes. He did. He threw the invisibility cloak over himself and Cho for safety's sake and the two walked hand in hand back towards the castle.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry walked Cho to the entrance of the Ravenclaw house. Harry pulled off the invisibility cloak and grasped Cho's hands and looked into her big brown eyes.

"Thank you for a great birthday, Harry," Cho said.

"It was my pleasure," Harry replied.

Cho hugged Harry tightly. That was where she wanted to be for the rest of her life. In her soul mate's arms.

"I'll love you forever, Cho," Harry said.

"I will too, Harry," Cho replied and kissed Harry lightly on the lips. "Thank you again, Harry."

"You're welcome. Talk to you later," Harry said. "We need to plan some dates."

"Bye," Cho said as Harry turned to walk away. "I love you."

"I love you, too," Harry said over his shoulder. He didn't actually want to leave but he knew he couldn't just waltz into the Ravenclaw common room. Cho watched him leave.

"I'm gonna marry him," she whispered so only she could hear. Then she said the password and walked into the common room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"There she is," Padma Patil said as Cho tried unsuccessfully to move across the common room quietly as to not disturb her friends who had all slept in the common room. Padma was the only one awake when Cho entered but in the time it took for Cho to walk across the room and sit down in her favorite chair, all of them were awake and throwing questions at her.

"Stop!" Cho practically yelled over her friends' voices. "Ok, no questions. I'm gonna tell you guys everything that happened. When I'm done, then you can ask anything that you want to know."

Cho then went in to her story. She told he friends everything that happened from the dinner, to the kisses, to the presents, to how they fell asleep on the Quidditch pitch. Her friends all sat around looking at her with their chins in their hands.

Stephanie was the first to speak after she finished. "Wow, Cho," she said. "You are so lucky."

Everyone else nodded.

"I know," Cho said. "It's the greatest feeling in the world."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry continued through the corridors of Hogwarts. He didn't think that he would need to wear the invisibility cloak as he made his way up to the Gryffindor house. He made the final turn and saw to his dismay that Professor Dumbledore was standing in front of the Fat Lady's portrait. He didn't look angry but Harry knew that that didn't mean that he wasn't.

"Good morning, Mr. Potter," the headmaster said.

"P-Professor, I can explain," Harry said nervously.

Dumbledore held up his hand signaling for Mr. Potter to stop talking. "Mr. Potter," he went on. "No need to worry. I know that nothing inappropriate happened between yourself and Miss Chang last night. I simply came up here because there is something I thought you ought to know."

"Oh," Harry sighed, relieved.

"You and Miss Chang have a very special relationship. More special than you know. I was almost worried last year when it seemed that your relationship didn't work out. Voldemort has just recently realized about your feelings for Cho. He was planning to attack her in hopes of getting at you. But neither Voldemort nor any of his Death Eaters can touch her now. What you have between the two of you is the bond of true love. As long as you are alive Cho is protected. Your parents had this same bond but they were unaware of what it came with. The female cannot be harmed by evil but the male can. Had your parents realized this then they may be here today. James did what he thought was right to protect Lily by standing and dieing for her but that was not what he should have done. He should have stayed with you and your mother. I may have been at fault for this by not telling them about this bond. I am not about to let the same thing happen to you."

Harry stood slightly dumbstruck.

"Your friends Mr. Weasly and Miss Granger also have this bond and have been made aware of what it means and I trust with this information that you will know what to do in your future battles with Voldemort. Later today, I will speak with Miss Chang and let her know of this too," Dumbledore continued. "Now, Miss Granger and Mr. Weasly are waiting for you in your common room so I won't hold you any longer."

Dumbledore turned and walked away

"Professor," Harry said

"Yes, Mr. Potter."

"Thank you"

"You're very welcome,"

Professor Dumbledore continued down the corridor and Harry said the password (hippogriff) and climbed through the portrait hole

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry emerged in the common room and Hermione and Ron were indeed the only people in there. Hermione was awake but looked tired and Ron was sleeping with his head on the table. Hermione looked up and saw Harry but Harry told her to be quiet and he snuck up next to Ron.

"BOO!" he said in Ron's ear causing his friend's head to shoot up.

"BLOODY 'ELL!" Ron said and raised his fist before realizing who it was. "Jesus, Harry. Don't do that."

"Sorry. I couldn't resist," laughed Harry as he sat down. Hermione tried her best to remain mature but she suddenly burst out laughing drawing a glare from Ron.

"Sorry, Ron, but its funny," she said between giggles.

Ron then laughed along with them both seeing that is was actually quite funny.

"Glad to see you showed up, mate," Ron said after they stopped laughing. "Details?"

"Ron!" Hermione said. "Harry will tell us if he wants to."

"Don't worry," Harry said. "I wouldn't keep this from my two best friends."

"Good," Ron said

Harry then told Ron and Hermione basically the same story that Cho told her friends.

"And then we fell asleep on the Quidditch pitch. That's really all that happened last night." He said finishing his story.

"Wow, Harry," Hermione said. "That's one of THE most romantic thing I've ever heard."

Harry blushed slightly at this. "Really?"

"Yeah," Hermione and Ron said together. They laughed and kissed. Normally Harry felt uncomfortable when they did that but after what transpired the previous day. He knew how they felt and was happy for them

"What's up, mate?" Ron asked after he and Hermione broke their kiss. "You usually complain at us when we do that."

"Why should I?" Harry retorted. "I know how you feel. It's the bond of true love"

Hermione and Ron looked at each other. "You know about that?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah," Harry replied. "Dumbledore told me. He was outside the portrait hole waiting for me so he could tell me. It's the second best news I've got in the past two days."

"The first being?" Ron asked.

"That Cho loves me, of course," Harry said.

"Oh, right," Ron said.

"Anywho," Harry said. "'Mione. I need some help on my Transfiguration homework. I didn't get much because I was laughing so hard."

"What happened?" Ron asked.

"I'll tell you," Hermione said. "Harry, go get your book."

"Yes ma'am." He said and saluted before he walked up the dormitory stairs.

First, he changed robes because he was still in his green dress robes. Then he grabbed his book, a quill and some parchment and went back downstairs to find Ron laughing madly

"I wish I was there," Ron said after he regained his composure. "I had Binns."

Hermione helped Harry on his homework while Ron studied Potions. Every once in a while he muttered something or other about Snape. After a while people started coming down stairs and wanted to know all about Harry's date. He said he'd only tell it once and when everyone who wanted to hear had gathered around him he told them. The girls all thought it was incredibly romantic and the guys thought he was playing at something but Harry didn't care what they thought. He was in love and that was all that mattered.

Then Harry gathered up his books and he, Ron and Hermione headed down to breakfast.

"We have the pitch tonight, right mate?" Ron asked.

"Yeah." Harry replied

"Good we should practice hard. The championship is coming up." Ron said

"Who do we play?" asked Harry who was having a lapse in memory.

"Ravenclaw," Ron replied

Great. Harry thought. How was he going to handle that? He still had to talk to Cho about dates and then on top of it all he had to worry about how he was going to play Quidditch against his soul mate. He then thought of something but didn't know if he could go through with it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*
