Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in awhile. I've been busy with school and I haven't had time to. Oh, by the way, I'm not sure if the other school students are allowed to go to Hogsmeade but I'm just making it so. I mean, it is their first time to Hogwarts. You'd figure that they could go… Oh, never mind. I'm making it go with my story so sue me if you hate it.

I began to wonder what Michael was thinking as the train came to stop. A prefect walked in and told us that we had arrived. Cedric took my hand and together we walked out into the hall to kids talking in merriment. I stuffed a hand in my robe pocket and jingled my coins. Students gathered around Professor McGonagall and waited for her to say that it was all right to go. My mind was drifting and all I heard was blabbing until Cedric said my name.

"Let's go."

"Oh, okay." I noticed Fleur with a few of her friends and some girls from Hogwarts. "Erm…do you mind if I go ahead into The Three Broomsticks? I'm really not up to anything else."

"Are you sure?" he asked with a look of concern on his face.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Are you okay, Cho?"

I nodded again. "Yeah. Why?"

"Well…you just… Oh, never mind. Go ahead. I'll be in there in a few minutes." He let go of my hand and walked the other direction.

"Hmm…" I walked into the pub and saw Emily sitting with her sister. I walked over to their table and sat down.

"Where's Cedric?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Around."

"How come you're not with him?" She took in some butterbeer.

I looked around. "I don't know."

"Are you still worried about what he said?" Emily asked.

I shrugged my shoulder again. "Maybe…"

Madam Rosmerta (A/N: I hope I got the spelling right. I'm too lazy to look it up --;;) came over with a glass full of butterbeer and set it in front of me. With a pearly white smile on her face she said, "Ah, Cho, where's Cedric? I figured you'd be with him."

I looked up at her. "How'd you know?"

She smirked. "You think just because I'm a waitress I don't know things?" She laughed. "People talk. Drink your butterbeer; it'll make you feel better." She walked off.

I managed a smile. "Thanks." I took a drink and sighed.

"You worry too much," Emily said.

"The two of you make a cute couple," her sister Serena mumbled.

I smiled. "Oh, thanks, Serena."

"My friends were talking about it… Well, they knew that Cedric and you were an item," she continued.

Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. "Oh…well…"

"Keep it up, Cho," Emily said, grinning broadly.

I hit her playfully. "Oh, hush!"

"Hmm…here he comes." Emily pointed.

I turned around and spotted Cedric walking past a group of Gryffindors and then some Hufflepuffs who waved to him and then he found his way to the table and sat down. "You're back," I said.

"I couldn't stay away for too long now, could I?" he said with a grin.

"C'mon, Serena," Emily said. "Let's go."

"What for?" Serena argued. "We just got here."

Emily glared at her sister. "Just come on."

She groaned. "'Bye, guys."

I giggled. "Goodbye."

"Cho?"

"Yes?" I answered just as Madam Rosmerta came and placed a butterbeer in front of Cedric.

He waited until he paid before he said, "Do your friends like me?"

I stared at him. "What are you talking about? Of course they like you. Why wouldn't they?"

"Well, they always seem to disappear whenever I come around." He took a sip of butterbeer.

"Oh…well, they just always think that we want to be alone…" I managed to say.

"Always?"

"I guess so…"

"Do they worry about you?"

I shook my head. "No." I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what to say. "I don't know. They like you, like, I mean…er…" I was beginning to confuse myself.

Cedric chuckled. "Forget it, Cho. It's okay if they think that we want to be alone all the time."

"It is?"

He nodded. "Sure. I don't see anything wrong with that. I didn't ask you to the Yule Ball for nothing, did I?"

I smiled and blushed. "Heh, I guess not."

"Oh, which reminds me…" He dug into his robe pocket and pulled out a box and handed it to me. "I got it this morning…in the mail from my mother…"

I took the box from him. "What is it?"

"Something…" He smiled. "Just open it."

I fiddled with box before actually opening it. A charm – a broomstick to be particular – to add to the bracelet he gave me for Christmas. I smiled. "Oh, gees, thanks, Cedric… I like it."

He smiled back. "I thought you would…since you play Quidditch. Just a nice reminder, eh?"

I nodded. "You're so sweet. Thanks." I kissed him on the cheek.

He blushed red and sipped his butterbeer.

I smiled to myself. Cedric wouldn't do anything to hurt me and I wouldn't do anything to him. I sighed and took a drink of butterbeer, fidgeting with the charm in my hand. I was glad that Cedric was only in his sixth year…maybe we could take our relationship a bit further… I hoped that Cedric really felt the same way about me. I didn't just want to be someone to get the other girls away from him.

Okay, I'm working really slowly but I hope this satisfies everyone! Please review! NO FLAMERS. I hate them and if you hate this then just deal with it.
