The Entrance hall was packed with people. Hogwarts students all in pairs and dressed in an array of colours. Everywhere she looked Cho could see pupils smiling with anticipation. Waiting excitedly for the doors to open.
Without thinking about it Cho's eyes were drawn to a particularly good looking couple. The girl was wearing a pale blue dress, her long brown hair had been straightened but was still slightly wavy, framing her face and bringing out her deep brown eyes. The boy was wearing a muggle quicksilver t-shirt and khaki trousers. His hair was in it's usual sticking up form and his bright green eyes were shining in the dimly lit Entrance hall.
Cho hated to admit it, but Harry and Hermione looked great together. The perfect couple. No. she couldn't think like that. Cho twirled the ring around on her finger, assuring herself that Harry didn't belong with her.
"Look!" squealed Samiha pointing towards the doors of the Great Hall, jerking Cho out of her thoughts. Quickly Cho looked towards the doors covering up the fact that she'd been staring at Harry and Hermione for the past 5 minutes.
"The doors are opening!" said a 6th year a few feet away from Cho. The Great Hall began to open out to the students and the first few couples had started to trickle inside. Cho walked gracefully behind Roger Davis, still refusing him the option to hold her hand or link arms.
The Great Hall looked amazing. There were 12 Christmas trees decked out with mounds of tinsel and baubles, everlasting icicles hung from the ceiling and the whole room was lit with fairy lights all the colours of the rainbow. Cho could have gasped with amazement as her eyes darted around the room.
The music was already playing but Cho didn't want to dance. She looked around for some excuse to get rid of Roger. But she didn't have to. A group of his friends wandered over.
"Hey Roger, I think they wanna talk to you," Cho said glancing at them. Roger followed her gaze.
"Oh……….er……..ok, see you later." He said looking disappointed.
"Yeh whatever," Cho said vaguely, as she made her way over to the buffet table where piles and piles of food were set out for students to help themselves to.
There weren't many people there, most were dancing to the fast song the band on stage and just struck up. Cho tapped her foot rhythmically, along to the music, wishing it was her out there dancing with Harry not Hermione. She sighed, she couldn't go on like this, tonight she would something about it. Hadn't Harry always said Hermione was just a close friend.
Harry's POV:
Although Harry was dancing with Hermione, his girlfriend, who he loved a lot, his thoughts were else where. With Ron. His best friend was over at one of the small tables with his date. (Lavender Brown)
Fred and George had sent Ron some muggle alcohol a couple of days ago. They had said it was for the Ball. Apparently they'd done it loads of times before, just to make things more interesting. Even though Ron was a prefect, he had decided to go with Fred and George's advice and let some of the Gryffindor's have some.
Harry wasn't entirely sure it was very safe. Until now he'd thought what could go wrong. If Fred and George had done it then the worst that could happen to Ron was for him to be put in detention for a month. Fred and George had never done anything seriously over the top until their 7th and final year, when they'd ended their school life.
But now as Harry saw all the teachers, their eyes darting around the Great hall, Harry doubted whether Ron was being wholly sensible.
"Harry, is something wrong?" asked Hermione caringly. Hermione didn't know what Ron was doing, she would probably tell someone, and as much as he loved Hermione, Ron was his best friend, he couldn't let him down.
"No…….er……..nothing," said Harry hurriedly, shoving it to the back of his mind. The first slow song of the evening had just started. He put his arms tightly around Hermione and, holding her close, they danced.
After 2 or 3 more songs Harry and Hermione headed over to the table where Ron was sitting sipping at a Butterbeer that probably contained some sort of alcohol.
"Hi Ron," Harry said flopping down in a chair, slightly red in the face. Ron handed him a bottle of Butterbeer. Harry raised his eyebrows.
"Oh come on Harry," said Ron, "Live a little," said Ron who was obviously already slightly tipsy.
"I'll look after your stuff," Harry said, "Go dance with Lavender." He shoved Ron onto the dance floor with Lavender and picked up the bottle.
"Oh what the heck, one bottle couldn't do any harm," he muttered to himself and opened it.
Cho's POV:
Well at least Harry had stopped dancing with Hermione now, Cho thought. It was 10:00pm and she'd only danced with Roger twice. She spent literally all the night staring at Harry
"Oi Cho!" called Samiha a few feet away. "Come and dance," she beckoned Cho onto the dance floor. Cho smiled, and went towards her, there was no point standing alone obsessing over Harry, when she was never going to get him just by thinking she wanted to.
It didn't take long for the band to start playing another slow song, and somehow Roger Davis managed to find her. She couldn't keep refusing him so she followed him unenthusiastically onto the dance floor. Cho was still unwilling to let him touch her, but he put his arms round her and she had to go along with whatever he did until the final notes of the song died away and Cho could escape to her friends.
Harry's POV:
One bottle didn't affect Harry but after several bottles Harry was definitely drunk. Dean, Seamus, Ron and some other 6th and 7th years even Neville were in the same condition. Harry's head was starting to hurt, maybe he'd had a bit too much to drink.
"Hey guys, I'm going outside for a bit," Harry said standing up and swaying slightly. His words were slurred and his vision kept swirling in and out of focus.
"k," said Ron, who wasn't really capable of proper speech any more. Harry stumbled to some extent, towards the doors of the Great hall out into the entrance hall and through the big, oak front doors, down the stone steps to the large Hogwarts grounds.
Cho's POV:
Cho was back to having half-hearted conversations with her friends, but never taking her eyes off Harry for more than 30 seconds. She noticed him get up and head out of the Great hall.
"Hey guys, I'm………….er………..just gonna go………er……….get some ……….. um……….more food," said Cho, thinking up the first excuse that came into her head, and without waiting for a response she walked briskly out of the Great hall after Harry.
This was her chance. Checking her ring was still on her finger she looked around for the raven haired boy. He was walking slowly towards the bench by the lake. Cho followed a few meters behind. It looked there was something wrong with him. He was rubbing his temple with one hand, every few meters he would stumble off course and pause to steady himself on one the many trees.
Harry collapsed on the bench and looked around. Cho breathed deeply. Just go up and talk to him. He looks like he needs some company. She closed her eyes and walked towards him.
To begin with Harry didn't seem to acknowledge Cho coming nearer. He sat still staring ahead, his head in his hands. Cho was only meter away from Harry now, she willed him to look at her but his eyes didn't flicker.
Cho cleared her throat quietly, and Harry seemed to snap out of his trance and look at her. Cho's heart was beating so fast she thought it might explode, those bright green eyes did something to her, like they were magical, putting her under a spell.
"Oh……Hi Cho," Harry said, his eyes seemed to become un-glazed and focus on her properly.
"Hi Harry," she replied nervously.
"er……..sit down," Harry indicated the space next to him. Cho sat next to him and looked at him fully. He looked pretty awful. His eyes were bloodshot and out of focus. But even though Harry didn't look perfect, Cho still couldn't help but let her eyes linger on him. To her, he still looked gorgeous.
"er……...Harry, is there something wrong?" Cho asked tentatively, breaking the silence that had settled on them.
"Oh, um……..no I'm fine," Harry replied, his words were slightly slurred and he rubbed his forehead as he spoke. Cho got the distinct impression, he was lying, but she didn't want to press him for answers.
"Actually, yes there is," Harry said after a few moments, "My head kills," he said quietly.
"You look like you've been drinking or something," Cho joked.
"Yup." Cho was taken aback by this response.
"Really," she said her eyes widening. Harry nodded,
"Yeh." Cho knew if this continued, Harry would end up telling her something he didn't want to, so she didn't ask him why. Instead she turned to face him. Time to make her move.
To Cho's surprise, Harry turned to face her as well. This was the closest she'd been to Harry in a long time. They were only inches apart. She had to think of something to say. But she was spared the challenge. Harry winced and turned his head away with a gasp.
"Shit," Harry swore, closing his eyes and gasping as his hand shot to his forehead.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Cho almost whispered, as Harry turned back to face her. Harry looked deep into her eyes and smiled.
"Yeh, just a headache" he whispered moving closer to her. Cho knew he was lying, it wasn't the headache that had made him do that, there was something telling her it was his scar. But she wasn't going to spoil the moment.
Cho leaned forward and put her hand to his face, touching his cold, pale skin. She smiled at him, pulling him closer. She half expected him to pull away but instead he put his arm around her. She could feel his cool breath on her cheek as she tilted her head to the side and kissed him. It was deep passionate kiss. She put her arms tight around his neck and kissed him deeper, more passionately, it was the best feeling in the world. He responded by kissing her back just as fervently, it was the best kiss they'd ever shared. Better than last year under the mistletoe. Better than anything she'd ever done.
Harry's POV:
Memories start to flash past Harry's eyes as he deepened the kiss. Seeing Cho for the first time, playing Quidditch against her, the fantasies about her in the tri-wizard tournament, the Yule Ball, her and Cedric dancing, the DA meetings, their conversation in the Owlery, the kiss under the mistletoe last year, the visit to Hogsmede their first and final date.
Now out of the blue, they were kissing. It was as if all the alcohol was being drawn out of him. He felt amazing. His mind was clearing. He was kissing Cho Chang. She wasn't crying, they hadn't been talking about Cedric and it had been her who'd come to find him, she'd done the chasing.
But wait. What was he doing. Hermione was inside, she was his girlfriend. He loved her. He couldn't start kissing another girl, just because he'd been drinking. But at the same time it felt so happy, his felt like he could fly away on his cloud of happiness. No Harry, what about Hermione, you love her. He told himself firmly, breaking the kiss.
"I can't do this Cho," Harry whispered, he stood up and ran. He sprinted at top speed back into the castle, trying to stop the tears that were forming in his eyes. What had he just done………?
How was it? I was kinda nervous about this chapter. I dunno if Ron was a bit out of character or something. Please tell me if this was any good. I need your opinions pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
