Chapter 13
Harry intercepted Cho as she made her way to the great hall for dinner when classes ended for the day. He wrapped a blindfold around Cho's eyes, shielding her vision.
"Hey! Harry! HARRY! What are you doing? Harry!" Cho screamed.
"Shush! Come, follow me!" Harry said. Cho fell silent.
Cho, with Harry's help and guidance, went up three flights of stairs, walked into a wall and gotten raspberries from Peeves blown at her before finally arriving at their destination.
It was a room, Cho could tell, as she heard the squeak of a door. Harry then whipped off her blindfold. They were in the room of requirement. The bright flashes momentarily blinded her eyes as the Creevy brothers took pictures. Her eyes were not yet used to the light.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" everyone shouted.
She could only stare in awe as everyone threw glittering confetti and balloons on her. Everyone started singing the happy birthday song and Hermione pushed forward a trolley upon which a magnificent five-layer cake lay.
The cake was wonderful! It was coated with white icing and cream, and beautifully spun icing roses adorned the sides of each layer. Edible silver glitter balls were scattered on the surface of the cake. On top of the cake was a white chocolate plaque with the words 'Happy Seventeen Cho!' written on it in chocolate.
Seventeen candles were stuck onto the cake and were brightly burning, illuminating the surprise and shock evident on her face.
The song ended and everyone burst out in cheer. Ginny urged Cho to cut the cake.
"Oh my god! Thank you everyone!" Cho squealed as everyone quietened down. She accepted the cake knife Harry handed to her.
"You have to make a wish. Then cut the cake and serve it to everyone," Ginny said.
"Ginny, don't say that! Cho isn't our maid! We shall cut the cake for her!" Hermione objected.
Cho walked towards the cake a debate raged between Hermione and Ginny. She paused. She had to make a wish. I wish that everything will turn out okay, and with one almighty breath, she blew out all the candles and cut the cake. Everyone cheered. Even Hermione and Ginny stopped fighting
Ron came over and took over the cutting while Cho mingled around with the guests and received more presents.
Cho then noticed the time. It was already 7.30. Cho remembered that she was supposed to meet Draco at 8.
Cho talked around for a while more, but her smiles were all fake. At 7.45, she told Harry that she needed to use the toilet. Instantly, a door leading to a toilet appeared in the room. It was the room of requirement, after all.
Harry barely even had a chance to register her remark on his mind when she dashed out of the room. His suspicions were immediately aroused.
He waited a while, and then he too excused himself and followed Cho out of the room. Just in time too, Cho was just disappearing around the corner.
He walked as quietly as he could, and followed Cho.
As he turned around the corner, he saw Cho entering a classroom. He realised that it was the classroom that he and Cho used to have secret make- out sessions in.
Cho hadn't really known what to expect when Draco had asked to meet her.
When she entered the classroom, she shut the door. Draco was already there. A slow romantic song was playing softly from invisible sources.
Cho advanced uncertainly. "What's this all about?" she asked.
"Can't I have a moment with you?" Draco replied, putting on a puppy eyes look.
Draco approached her. "Can I have this dance?" he asked, offering his hand. Cho laughed as she took it.
Draco pulled her to him and they started dancing in time to the music.
Cho felt so relaxed. Could this day get any better?
When the song ended, Draco led her to a chair. She sat in it, and Draco sat in one facing her.
"You know, I never really got a chance to spend some time together with you today," Draco whispered.
He then pulled out a ring box from within the folds of his robes.
He opened it and two rings lay inside.
The rings were nothing special. They were just two bands of silver, quite plain. Draco took one out and placed it on Cho's fourth finger.
"Draco? What are these for?" Cho asked, looking at her ring.
"As long as I love you, Cho, I will never remove this ring," Draco said, slipping the ring onto his own finger.
Cho's eyes immediately filled with tears. "Draco..." She fell forward and engulfed Draco in a tight embrace, tears spilling out of her eyes.
Outside, Harry reached the classroom and peered in through the window. He saw Cho hugging Draco. He saw as Cho released Draco and their lips met in a soft kiss.
Harry watched with a sinking heart as Draco lifted Cho into his lap and Cho raked her hands through Draco's silvery hair.
Harry had seen enough and left. He would confront Cho about it tomorrow. Meanwhile, he would not disturb her moment.
