Cho took a deep breath and opened her mouth to speak.
"On the night of the Ball we kissed," she began nervously. Harry didn't look at her, he looked at the floor, there was nothing he could say. "I know you're with Hermione and you say you really love her, but I can't spend the rest of the year knowing I haven't told you how I feel." She paused, wondering how to continue.
"Cho I don't know what I feel for you, all I know is that I can never say I'm totally over you. There will always be a part of me that feels something for you." Harry said. He couldn't really believe the words were coming from his mouth. He'd wanted to let Cho do the talking, but he couldn't help it.
"I'm not asking you to leave Hermione or break up with her, I just have to tell you." Cho had stopped looking at Harry now, instead she was looking at the ring on her finger. "On the night of the Ball I followed you because it felt like the right thing to do, to me the kiss wasn't a mistake." She looked up again. They both sat staring at each other for a few moments.
"I don't know what to think any more, I don't have answers. I can't tell you I meant to kiss you, because I didn't, but I didn't do it because I was drunk, I kissed you because it felt like I was supposed to. Maybe I was caught up in the spur of the moment, but it meant something, if I could go back I wouldn't change it but I still shouldn't have done it." Harry bit his lip as he finished speaking but didn't look away.
Cho had tears in her eyes, but she managed to blink them back, she wasn't going to cry, Harry hated it when she cried, so she took a deep steadying breath.
"I don't expect you to feel the same way about me but I have to tell you, I wanted to meet you here tonight because I can't live the rest of my life knowing that I never told you……." She paused for a moment took another deep breath and said: "I……..I……..I love you Harry." She had said it. She had finally told him. Cho sat waiting for his response. His eyes widened and he bit his lip.
In truth Harry didn't know what to say. Cho had just told him that she loved him, he knew she'd liked him. But love…….. he didn't really know what to say. He didn't posses the vocabulary to think of a response. He had turned his head away and was looking at the floor once again. 'Say something, say anything' Harry thought, but what? He'd never had a girl say they loved him, not even Hermione had ever said that.
"I don't know what to say," Harry said eventually. "I knew we felt something for each other but," he trailed off, not knowing how to finish his sentence.
"Harry I don't want to leave Hermione or do anything else just because I said that, I just had to tell you," Cho stood up and was about to go towards the door.
"Cho wait," Harry said suddenly, calling her back. Cho turned around and took a few steps back towards him. They looked at each other, as if each one was memorising the others features. Harry knew Cho was pretty, smart, caring everything someone could want in a girlfriend, but what did he really feel for her?
Both knew what was going to happen now as they edged slowly closer. Neither tried to resist or stop it.
Harry took a few more steps towards Cho and he put his arms around her. She pulled him closer and let her lips brush against his. Then Cho tilted her head slightly and they kissed. Harry and Cho stood virtually still for a few moments. Savouring the kiss. Relishing each others touch.
"I love you," she said and walked away leaving Harry standing in the room of requirement in total shock. Part of him wanted to call after her, bring her back, talk to her and if he really admitted it to himself he wanted to kiss her again. But the other part made his legs walk him out of the room of requirement and back to the Gryffindor common room.
It was 10pm and the common room was almost empty even Hermione had gone to bed. He thought of the last time he'd sat there, if he had known that all that would have happened by the time he came back, would he still have gone? Of course this all came back to Hermione. As he changed into his pyjamas and got into bed he thought even harder about Hermione, when it came down it. Did he really love Hermione as much as he thought he did…………..? No…………..
Cho's POV:
Cho couldn't help but smile to herself as she changed and got into bed. She hadn't told her two best friends where she was going, but they had probably guessed.
But she didn't want to think about that now. She was reliving the moment when her lips had joined with Harry's. It was the best kiss Cho had ever had. This time Harry hadn't been drunk and she hadn't been crying. It had been perfect in every way.
As she lay in the darkness she went over and over the kiss in her head. Like a stuck record, showing the same scene over and over, Harry's face as their eyes connected, the touch of his lips on hers as they kissed.
But there was always the nagging problem in the back of her mind. Hermione………
Would Harry break up with her? She couldn't make him, would he try to shove everything to the back of his mind, pretend it had never happened. But how could he do that? That kiss must have meant something to Harry. No-one could kiss like that and have it not mean anything.
Tomorrow Samiha and Serena would be asking Cho everything. Part of Cho kinda wished she could keep it a secret, it was such a special moment, but another part of her liked getting her friends reactions. But before Cho could think any more she had drifted into sleep, into dreams of Harry Potter.

Ok I have no idea how good that chapter was. Am I any good at writing fluffy scenes? Please tell me what you thought, cos there's gonna be more of those bits and hopefully they'll get better!
P.S: Hope it wasn't too short.
