Harry's head was spinning, but not from the alcohol. He'd just kissed Cho Chang. Why? Why had he just kissed another girl. He was going out with Hermione, he loved Hermione…….didn't he?

He needed to be back inside the noisy Great Hall, where he didn't have to think. He went over to the table where a very drunk Ron, Seamus, Dean, Neville and a scornful Hermione were sitting.

"Hi, where've you been for so long?" Hermione asked standing up to kiss him on the cheek.

"I was………er……..just taking a walk, my head kills." Harry said trying to smile. He didn't want to think about what had just happened outside. Instead he diverted his attention to Ron. Who was swaying slightly and hiccupping at random points.

"er……..Ron are you ok?" Harry asked, Ron looked quite comical with his glazed-over eyes and far away look.

"Oh hi Harry, want some?" said Ron. His sentence was like one big word slurred together as he offered the bottle to Harry. Harry never wanted to drink again if it meant betraying Hermione and kissing Cho. He still couldn't believe he'd really done that.

"Hey we should really get them out of here," Harry said to Hermione, who nodded.

"Yeh," she replied, they started to help Ron, Dean, Seamus and Neville towards the doors of the Great Hall. This proved very difficult because Ron in particular was incapable of standing alone. It took all Harry and Hermione's effort to take all of Ron's body weight between them and help the other 3 stumble to the doors.

They were about to cross the threshold when they heard something behind them that made Harry's heart sink.

"What are you three doing?" said the accusing voice of Professor McGonagall. Harry turned around to face her. He needed an excuse and fast.

"They're just…….er…….tired, we're going back to the common room," Harry said quickly, saying the first thing that came into his head, knowing it wasn't going to work. Professor McGonagall looked at Ron whose eyes were glazed over and swaying slightly even with Harry and Hermione support.

"Mr. Weasley stand up properly," Professor McGonagall said sharply, looking down her nose at Ron. Ron tried in vain to stand alone but failed, falling heavily back on to Harry and Hermione's shoulders. "Mr. Weasley are you incapable of proper stance," Professor McGonagall said angrily. Ron simply looked starry eyed at Professor McGonagall.

"Sorry Professor he's just tired," Harry said desperately. Ron squinted at Professor McGonagall as if seeing who she was properly for the first time.

"Oh hi Professor," he said. They were done for, Harry thought.

"Come with me you six," said McGonagall and she lead them away from the Great Hall and to her office. She sat behind her desk and drew up six chairs for Harry, Hermione and the others to sit in.

"Now I want to know what's really going on," The Gryffindor head of year said sternly. No-one spoke for several moments, Ron still seemed spaced out and Dean, Seamus and Neville were lolling around in their chairs. Eventually Professor McGonagall sighed, stood up and pointed her wand at Ron's chest. She muttered an incantation, liquid streamed out from inside Ron and contained itself in a glass container on the desk. She did this to all 6 of them even Hermione. Then sat back down and looked at them her face turning slightly red with anger.

"So which one of you is going to tell me why you have muggle alcohol inside you," she said, her voice shaking slightly with pure rage. None of them moved for several moments but finally Ron opened his mouth and said:

"Sorry," he said. Harry, Dean, Seamus and Neville nodded and said sorry too.

"Sorry is not good enough boys! I want to know why and where you got this," Professor McGonagall. Ron was thinking fast and hard, if he told her the truth what would she do, would it be better or worse than saying that he bought it himself. For a few moments Professor McGonagall glared at them, determined not to say anything. Then Ron took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak.

Cho's POV:

Cho was still sitting outside on the bench. She had just kissed Harry, Harry Potter. She had kissed him. It was only just starting to sink in. She had kissed Harry and he hadn't got angry or anything she'd expected. Instead he'd kissed her back. It had been amazing. Like she really was his girlfriend. Only after several moments had he broken away and said 'I can't do this' and run off.

But that didn't matter to Cho. She looked down at her ring. She was twisting it around on her finger, maybe it really was magical, she never would have gone up to Harry and kissed him before. Just because she had lots of friends, it didn't make her a very outgoing person. It fact she was really nervous around new people and especially around boys, and even more around Harry. She loved him, there was nothing she could do to hide her feelings.

She'd made the first step towards getting him, but she knew Harry would hide everything inside him. He probably wouldn't even tell his best friend. By tomorrow he would have convinced himself that it had never happened and that it didn't mean anything.

But Cho knew Harry loved her too. There was something about the way he

kissed her, about the way he spoke to her, his voice was never cold or harsh, his eyes soft and caring everything about him seemed perfect to Cho. They were meant to be together.

Harry's POV:

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dean, Seamus and Neville left Professor McGonagall's office at 12:30pm that night. Ron had come off worst. Professor McGonagall's last words were ringing in his ears. 'suspension…..suspension……suspension' over and over.

He was suspended. He couldn't believe it. None of them could. It had started out as harmless fun to add something to the Ball, some extra excitement. But no-one felt as bad as Ron. Harry, Dean, Seamus, Neville and Hermione all had months worth of detentions and points from Gryffindor, but Ron, Ron wasn't coming back to Hogwarts until February. A whole 2 months of suspension.

They all traipsed back to the common room, Harry had almost forgotten Cho. So many emotions had run through him tonight he didn't think he could stand it much longer.

Nobody spoke except to open the portrait hole. Harry didn't even lift his head to say goodnight to Hermione. He went upstairs into his dormitory undressed and put his pyjamas on, collapsing on his bed and drawing the hangings around his four poster.

Ron suspended. And of course his prefect badge taken away. He'd had some pretty big surprises since coming to Hogwarts. But he never thought he'd be lying in his bed knowing that tomorrow morning, the Hogwarts express would take Ron away because he had been drinking muggle alcohol.

However his last thought before he drifted off was of Cho, their kiss, what was he going to do. He felt like screaming or anything to let out all the feelings building inside him, like a volcano waiting to explode. Did he like Cho. No he couldn't he loved Hermione, it had been the alcohol, he couldn't have kissed Cho for no reason. Hermione was his girlfriend and that's how it was supposed to be.

Ok another chapter over. I personally don't think I wrote that chapter very well, but it was the best I could do. Please keep reviewing, I need encouragement, help, support whatever just not flames! I hate flames!
