Hey guys! I'm back with chappie 4. I can't believe how many reviews I've had! Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much you're the greatest! Oh yeh, just thought I'd remind you that this chapter is Christmas Day, I missed out Christmas Eve, due to lack of interesting plots for that day.
Princess Plankton: What would I do without you? Thanks again for all the ideas. And remember to feed your pet salamander, I hear he's dying you barbarian. GAH! NO! BAD MONKEY! GO AWAY! THAT'S MY SALAMI SANDWICH!
Jazzy D: I guess you like it. LOL! Gets Harry Potter to wave his wand at you guts and throw them at you mwahahahahahahaha! LOL! sorry laughs manically Anyway how you like this chappie!
Keith: It is gonna be a Harry/Cho fic but not until chapter 5, yeesh I'll get there the whole point of this is to make Cho jealous first, then she'll want Harry even more, blah blah blah……. Geez!
Mjk306: Thank you for reviewing, I'm glad you like it, blah blah blah, what else can I say.
Indigal: Well she had it coming, stupid bitch! Ahem. Anyway thank you for reviewing I hope you like this chapter.
PeZ-YUaN: Yeh sorry I'm making you wait so long, I'll try and get the chapters up quickly so this fic gets a bit more interesting. Apart from that thanks for your review here's chapter 4.
DelPiero: Yeh I know it was centred around Cho, but after chapter 5 there'll hardly be any from Cho's POV and Harry's story line plays a much bigger part so I thought I should put as much in about Cho now as I could. Oh yeh I read and reviewed your fic it's so cool! I didn't know I'd inspired anyone. thanks!
JkReviewer: I'm on your faves list, aaawwww thankyou soooo much! Just Harry/Cho romance wouldn't be boring, but it should be more interesting with another plot. I hope I updated quick enough and you'll never get 80 word chapters, they keep getting longer sorry. Chapter 5's gonna have like 2000 words sorry. Anyways thanks for reviewing! You're the greatest!
Zou-chang: Yeh nothing really happened but something had to happen before the Ball. I hope you didn't get too bored and still wanna read this chapter. Hopefully this has a bit more interesting stuff in.
Rivers: YAY! My fave reviewer is back! grins Yeh Cho was kinda feisty in that chapter. I dunno whether there'll be more about that in the future. Hopefully I'll be able to slip in a chapter with that. cos after this chapter there won't be hardly any from Cho's point of view I don't think oh well. Thanks for reviewing (again) hugz you -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cho woke early on Christmas morning to the sound of bird singing outside in the trees. She smiled as she sat up and saw the pile of presents laying at the bottom of her bed. No matter how old you got Christmas would always be an exciting and joyful time, full of festivities for Cho.
Cho was nearly 17 now, but she still felt that athletic buzz on Christmas Eve and on Christmas morning.
Cho went over to her dresser and took out a hair brush. She combed out her long raven coloured hair and rubbed her eyes tiredly. Her friends were still asleep, and glancing and her watch told Cho why. It was 6am.
Cho went over to the window and opened it silently letting the bright, early morning, winter sunshine stream into the room. Her hair glinted as it caught the light and she smiled happily.
Samiha stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes, smiling widely.
"Merry Christmas," Cho said.
"Yeh, Merry Christmas!" Samiha replied before diving on the pile of presents on her bed. Serena and the two other girls in Cho's dormitory Megan and Zara woke up at the sound of Samiha's present attacking.
"Merry Christmas," Cho said brightly, moving away from the window and starting to open her own presents.
Cho managed to shove everything to the back of her mind as she opened her gifts. She had earrings and Make-up from Samiha and a small silver necklace with a heart on from Serena.
From her Family she had new muggle clothes from her mother, including a pair of designer jeans and a t shirt. Also more make-up and jewellery
Her father had sent her a book on the Tornados, a scarf the colours of the team and a singed photograph.
Cho felt a knot in her stomach as she thought of her father. She doubted he'd been out and bought all this himself, she was mentally ill, it made her want to cry, getting separate presents from her parents. She was so used to the joint presents they bought her each year.
She had promised herself she wouldn't think like this on Christmas day, but she couldn't help it. She bit her lip a tried to keep smiling. She knew Samiha, Serena, Zara and Megan were glancing nervously at her, wondering what to do. Cho took a deep breath and forced a smile that looked genuine.
"So what else have I got," her pile of presents was considerably smaller. She opened gifts from various auntie's, uncles, cousins or grandparents. Which contained random items like robes, jewellery, books which vaguely interested Cho.
Until there was only one present left. It was a small box wrapped in a gold paper which Cho had deliberately saved until last, for some reason it drew her eye, like it contained something special, something worth waiting for.
Cho carefully took of the wrapping paper which contained a box with a gold lid. She removed the lid silently and saw what was resting inside.
It was a ring, a small ring, it glinted in the early morning sun, and seemed to cast bright colours all around the room. It was in the shape of golden Raven with its wings spread wide as if it were flying.
Cho looked at it, totally transfixed. She took the ring out of its box and held it up to the light, looking at it from different angles. Her friends were looking at the ring now too.
"Who gave you that?" asked Serena breaking the silence that had settled over the dormitory. Cho didn't look at her for a moment, not really taking in what she'd said.
"er…….I…….dunno," Cho said eventually putting the ring down and picking up the box. There was a piece of paper in the bottom, that Cho hadn't noticed at first glance. She took it out now and studied it curiously, it read:
Dear Cho,This ring was your grandmothers before she passed away, she'd always told me to pass it on to you, she thought you were very special and that this would help you as you grew up. she always told me it was magic, that it brought luck or happiness. I never quite believed her, but now she's gone I see things in a whole different light. I hope it really is magic and brings you lots of happiness and good luck this year.
Love mum.
Cho read the note over and over, taking in all the information. She'd never seen this ring in her life, it had just appeared from the blue and it apparently belonged to her dead grandmother. She'd spent a lot of time with her grandmother.
Cho thought she knew everything, her clothes, jewellery, everything about her house, her life, her past. She'd never seen this ring. Cho picked up the ring again, knowing it was her grandmothers made her look at it in a new light. She slipped the ring gracefully onto her finger and observed it closely, it fitted her perfectly and as she slid it down her slim finger, she felt a surge of strength flow through her. As if she had all the confidence in the world, she could do anything.
This scared Cho slightly, maybe this ring really did have magic, she left it on her finger and told her friends what the letter said, except the part about it being magic. They finished opening their presents in silence.
"Come on, lets go have breakfast," Cho said at about 11 that morning. Zara, Samiha, Serena and Megan looked at each other with a glint in their eyes. Cho looked suspiciously at them, they were hiding something.
"Go get it," Serena said nodding at Samiha, who stood up and went over to her bed and pulled something out from underneath it. It was a long thin package wrapped in Christmas paper. Samiha handed it to Cho. This is for you. Everyone chipped in to buy it for you. Me, Serena, Zara, Megan your mum, your dad, some of your grandmother's money left in her will and everyone else who cares about you.
Cho stared at the package before tearing off the paper a revealing a broomstick. And not just any broomstick: a Nimbus 2001. Cho's eyes widened in surprise and happiness. She jumped up and grabbed her four friends and hugged them.
"Oh My God! Thank you sooooooooooo much!" She screamed hugging them even tighter. Her three friends exchanged satisfied glances,
"You think she likes it?" Samiha said sarcastically raising an eyebrow. They all laughed. Cho looked at the broomstick happily.
"Lets go try it out!" she said suddenly. And without waiting for a response she dressed in a pair of jeans and one of her new t-shirts.
"Come on!" she said impatiently, as her friends dressed. They all had brooms but Zara didn't play much so Cho said she could use her old one. They headed out of the castle, down the stone steps and onto the Quidditch pitch. Without saying anything Cho leapt on her new broom and kicked off hard into the air.
She was a brilliant flyer, best seeker Ravenclaw had for years. On this new broom Cho felt un-stoppable. She dipped and swooped around the Quidditch pitch savouring the feeling of the morning wind whipping her hair out of place. Nothing could compare to this feeling. Flying was one of the best parts of Cho's life, she lived for flying.
From the ground Samiha, Serena, Zara and Megan stood in awe watching Cho. She was a fantastic flyer, they envied her for her flying. Eventually they also mounted their brooms and flew with her. Aside from Cho, Megan was the best flyer, she was on the team but she'd only got on the team the year before. She played the position of Chaser
Serena wasn't particularly interested in Quidditch, her mother had been a muggle so she'd only grown up with a part wizard background. Zara had totally muggle parents so she was with Serena on this one. Samiha enjoyed flying but wasn't really good. She preferred muggle sports like athletics and horse riding.
Megan challenged Cho to a race, everyone wanted to see just how fast Cho could go on her new broom. Cho won the race by at least 10 meters. The only person her friends could remember seeing flying faster than Cho was Harry Potter, but they weren't going to risk sending Cho back into her realms of misery.
They stayed out until 12:30pm before Cho knew her friends were starting to get bored. She could of stayed out there all day and night, testing her new broom, finding out just what it could do, but they went inside for Christmas lunch.
The Great Hall just as crowded as if it was still term time. She sat down at the Ravenclaw table and looked around all the students knowing exactly who she wanted to see.
Harry was sitting with Ron and Hermione, it looked as if they were laughing at something he'd just said. His smile drew Cho's eyes, she couldn't believe Harry could do this to her without realising it. He is so gorgeous Cho thought.
Even as Harry put his arm around Hermione and kissed her on the cheek Cho didn't feel her heart sinking. She felt the ring on her finger, she rotated it on her finger and felt again that surge of power run through her. Tonight was the Hogwarts Christmas Ball, tonight she was going to do something, something about Harry and Hermione, it just wasn't right.
Cho spent 3 hours getting ready for the Ball that evening. She used a special charm to straighten out her dress and make sure it was absolutely perfect. She must have spent 15 minutes in the shower, washing her hair, then fixing it with another charm she'd learnt. The five girls did each others make-up and helped out with anything they could. By 7:30 they all looked perfect.
Serena in the pale blue she chose in Hogsmede, her long blonde hair was tied back in a pony-tail and then clipped up on top of her head. It shone in the Christmas lights hung around the common room, making several boys look at her.
Samiha was wearing her short red dress, showing off her legs. Her dark hair was braided into lots of tiny plaits swinging around her tanned face.
But it was Cho who everyone paid the most compliments to. Her long black dress hugged her body in all the right places, showing off her curves highlighting all the best parts of her perfectly formed figure. Her long raven hair was left loose swaying just above her waist, it hung around her face bringing out her deep brown eyes and brilliant complexion.
They were all ready, Roger Davis came up to Cho (her date) and made a move as if to link arms with her or hold her hand, but Cho moved her arm away, there was only one guy who got to touch her tonight.
Making sure her new ring was placed one her long slender finger Cho left the common room her heart beating fast. Tonight she would get Harry Potter, Hermione or no Hermione. It was time………….
Chapter 4 is done. Yeh I know it's not very interesting yet, in the next chapter the action will start! This isn't going to be a shallow fic where Harry and Cho like each other, they get together, live happily ever after, it will have interesting plot, but still romance!
P.S: Thankyou so much! (again) to Princess Plankton YOU SOOOOOOOOO RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
