Luckily, the next day was Saturday and I could get away from Marietta for a little while. I didn't want her to bother me so I went to the library – the place she wouldn't be caught dead in unless she had homework and today just wasn't her day but it was, unfortunately, for me. Marietta liked to wait to do homework on Sunday and go along with her day. Because today was Saturday, there was a trip for Hogsmeade for the third through seven years but I wasn't going.

I hurried along to breakfast, passing the kids who were counting their money for Hogsmeade and talking about what they were going to buy. My money was stashed away in my trunk up in the Ravenclaw Tower. I loved to go to Hogsmeade like everyone but today I decided not to and spend the day away. Of course, Emily thought it was because Cedric wasn't going to Hogsmeade but I told her that she had to the wrong reason. She just smirked and said, "Sure…that's what everybody says."

I sat down at the corner of the Ravenclaw table, hoping to get away from the noise of everybody. Fortunately, there weren't many people at breakfast that morning so it was my time alone.

I sat there and munched quietly on my toast and eggs and reading the Daily Prophet. It was nothing much. The Daily Prophet's main headline was still about the Triwizard Tournament and how it was taking place at Hogwarts. Many other articles were by Rita Skeeter, a bogus women writing for the Daily Prophet who told nothing but a bunch of lies and everyone I know (not including the Slytherins) really despised her – at least I did. I flipped a page and as soon as I did I felt a tap on my shoulder. I bit my toast and turned around.

"Cedric," I said, swallowing my toast. It went down hard. I gulped. "Hi."

"Hello, Cho. You don't mind if I sit here do you…just for a little while? I know this isn't my table."

"Yes, of course." I closed the Daily Prophet and pushed it out of the way.

He sat down. "Are you heading to Hogsmeade this morning?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. I really wasn't planning to…but…"

"I was just curious because I wanted to know if you were going because I thought maybe we could just walk around and…talk…a bit." He stared at me with his grey eyes.

"I can go, of course…" I thought about what I had planned for the day: nothing but hanging in the library doing homework. I suppose I could keep just for this one day. It wouldn't kill me. "I'll go," I finally said.

"Great," Cedric said. "I would really like to sit down and talk to you for about an hour or two. It would be nice."

I smiled, nodding.

"I suppose I'll see you in a few minutes then." He stood up. "Good-bye."

"Oh, Cedric?"

"Yes?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Would it be alright if I sat with you on the way there?"

"Yes, I wouldn't mind at all."

"Alright. Bye, then."

I watched him leave. When he was finally out of the Great Hall I pushed away my half finished breakfast, grabbed the newspaper and ran out of the Great Hall. I was excited. I ran up to the Ravenclaw Tower, passed the Knight and ran up to the girls' dormitories. I threw the paper onto my bed and quickly opened my trunk. I dug quickly, throwing clean robes onto my bed until I found my stash of money. It was in a small velvet blue sack tied with a small silver ribbon. I stuffed it into my pocket. I threw my robes back into my trunk hastily, grabbed my coat, shut my trunk and ran out of the girls' dormitories and out of the Ravenclaw Tower.

Running down from the second floor I bumped into someone. "Ohminah!" I mumbled to myself. (A/N: "Ohminah" means like "Oh my gosh" in Korean. In my story, I'm making Cho Korean so I'm using just a few Korean words. I try to spell them out the best I can.) "I'm sorry." I looked up and saw that it was Harry Potter.

"I'm sorry, Harry. I didn't see you there." I felt myself going red.

"Um…it's okay, Cho," he replied.

"Sorry, Harry, but I'm in a bit of a rush so I'll see you later I suppose! Bye." I quickly ran away, the redness burning away from my face. I went into the entrance hall and saw that kids were already crowded around waiting for Professor McGonagall and some of the other professors to come and lead us onto the train that would take us to Hogsmeade. I stood at the stairs away from the crowd to see if I could spot Cedric. I frowned as I had no luck finding him.

"Cho!" I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see that it was Emily with her younger sister Serena and I suppose some of Serena's friends. "There you are," she said. "I looked everywhere for you."

"Oh… Well, I've been around, you know," I replied.

"I wanted to talk to you at breakfast but then I saw that you were talking to Cedric" – a smirk spread across her face – "so I decided to leave you alone."

"Oh. Why are you with your sister?"

"Yeah, well, my mother wrote me a letter this morning and thought that it would be 'nice' if I showed Serena and some of her friends around Hogsmeade. It'll only take about half an hour and I'll find you afterwards – if you're not with Cedric, that is. 'Bye." She left.

"Don't mind her, Cho," Serena said to me when her sister was down the stairs. "She isn't being mean. I think she is just curious, you know."

I smiled. "I know, Serena."

Serena left with a smile and her friends followed.

I smiled to myself and walked down the rest of the stairs. I could see Professor McGonagall, Snape and Flitwick walking to the entrance hall doors. The hall was quiet instantly.

"Alright, everyone, listen up. I want this crowd to form five lines, please. One line for third years, one for fourth and so on. I'm sure that all of the third years have turned in their permission slip allowing them to go to Hogsmeade. If you have not then you need to turn around and head straight back to your common room." She paused for a moment. "I want all of you be well behaved and make sure that you have everything you need right now, no one will be going back and we won't be turning back at all. Now, if you have any problem please feel free to ask Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick or me for assistance and we will gladly help you. Now, if the seventh years would please go first. Everyone else, please, follow behind them and watch where you are going." The doors opened and McGonagall, Snape and Flitwick followed behind her as she walked out of the entrance hall.

I looked around for Cedric but I didn't see him. I sighed and followed the person ahead of me. I wrapped myself around in my coat tightly around myself and headed out. I could see the train waiting for us. The teachers climbed into the first compartment. Everyone began to scatter to get onto the same compartment as their friends. I wondered where Cedric was. I looked around before getting onto the train.

"Cho," a voice said from behind me. It was Cedric.

"Hi," I said.

His cheeks and nose was flushed pink from the bitter cold wind. "I tried to look for you but I couldn't find you."

"I tried to find you…but I couldn't."

I found an empty compartment and sat down. Cedric followed but sat across from me.
