Thanks to everyone that reviewed!!!! And Aagwyn, its MY story, so I can write it however I want to. Please remember that I am new to this, so I am not the best storywriter in the world.

Chapter 22: Attacks and Apologies

"I'm sorry Harry." Cho flicked her wand, "But like I said, you leave me no choice."

"Expelliarmus!!!"

Cho's wand ripped from her hand, speeding to whoever was behind her.

Cho twisted around and glared at the person, first in shock, but the shock melted into

rage.

"YOU LITTLE, STINKY, FUCKING BITCH!!!" Cho yelled so loudly at Luna, that two

owls flying by a library window fluttered away in alarm.

Harry watched this episode in utter bewilderment. When Hermione had said that Cho

was downright vile, he didn't believe it until now.

Cho pushed Luna into the bookcase, grabbing both wands from her and throwing them

onto the ground.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she roared.

Harry had never seen Luna so firm since first term had started.

"What do you think?" Luna sneered. "I'm stopping you from that revolting plan of

yours."

Harry spied Cho's friend Liz sneaking behind Luna. Wasting no time, Harry seized

Luna's wand.

"Stupefy!" Liz fell to the floor, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Cho spun to Harry.

"Please Harry, take that back." Cho pleaded. "It's just that Looney here –"

"saved Harry's neck."

Harry's gaze fell on a fuming Hermione, followed by Madam Pince and Professor

Mcgonagall.

"Shame on all of you." Mcgonagall barked. "10 points from each of you. What do you

think this place is, a Charms classroom?"

"Professor please," Hermione turned to the teed off professor. "It wasn't Luna or Harry's

fault. Cho and her friend are the ones who caused this."

Mcgonagall looked at the stunned lass on the ground.

"Ennervate." She said sternly. Liz soon awoke, tears began surging down her face.

"The-they attacked us." She wept, pointing to Harry and Luna. "They sa-a-aid that we

di-di-didn't deserve to live."

"That's not true!!" Hermione faced Professor Mcgonagall again. "You see, They were going to use the Imperius curse on Harry –"

"What?!" Harry interrupted.

Mcgonagall shot a cold look at Harry.

"Please continue." She said severely.

"Yes. Anyway, Luna heard them talking about it in their Common Room –"

"You were there?!" Cho screeched.

"WILL PEOPLE STOP INTERUPPTING SO WE CAN LISTEN TO MISS

GRANGER'S STORY???!!!"

The room plunged into silence. Mcgonagall's face was burgundy, and even Madam Pince

flinched as her irritation.

"Uh.......right." Hermione gazed around her nervously. "The next day, she came and

told me what Cho and Liz planned. You see, like I said, they were going to use the

Imperius curse on Harry to force him to make Cho pregnant."

Mcgonagall's face drained of its redness to a sallow white. Turning to Luna, she asked,

"Is this true Miss Lovegood?"

Luna nodded.

Mcgonagall's shoulders tightened as she faced Cho and Liz, whose faces resembled the

professor's.

"You two," she pointed at the two girls. "I have never seen such nauseating and

appalling behavior in all of my life while here at Hogwarts. Fifty points from Ravenclaw

each and two week's nights of detention. Now get out of my sight!"

Cho and Liz scrambled away, the sound of their feet loping into the distance.

Mcgonagall looked at Luna and Hermione.

"You saved a fellow student's life here tonight. I believe that each of you have earned

your houses fifty points. You may go."

As they left the library, Harry watched Luna attentively. Her chin sat on her chest, wisps

of hair dropping from her mat of dishwater blond hair.

"Well, see ya tomorrow." Luna nodded, and Hermione turned in the direction of the

Gryffindor Tower. "Coming Harry?"

"Um.....you go ahead. I want to talk to Luna for a bit."

Both Luna and Hermione appeared to be somewhat taken aback by this, but neither had

the will to say anything about it.

"In any case, I guess I will see you tomorrow!" Hermione waved before leaving. Now, it

was only Luna and Harry.

Luna turned towards Harry.

"Well, what do you want?" Harry thought he heard a quiver run through her words, but

decided that he heard wrong.

"I uh.......I wanted to say uh......I want to say thank you." Harry blurted, his face

reddening by the second.

"Yea?" Luna crossed her arms, her eyebrows raised.

"Yea...."

Luna exhaled, her face rapidly shading like Harry's.

"It's Ok." She whispered.

"No it isn't." Harry said. "Listen, I haven't been that nice to you since......well since

your ring....."

Luna felt her cheeks blaze. She hadn't forgotten about that incident.

"And I'm sorry," Harry slipped his hands into his robes. "I shouldn't have been such a

bastard. I was just shocked and surprised, you know?"

Luna nodded, her heart pounding heavily.

"So, will you forgive me?" Harry looked into her eyes. Luna stared back.

It was as if some magical force pushed them closer. Luna barely had time to say "Yes"

before engaging into an enchanting kiss with Harry.

It was especially better than their first kiss at the Majestic Christmas Ball. Running her

fingers through his black hair, Luna moved closer, eagerly wanting more.

Harry had never experienced something like this. If one could compare Cho to Luna,

Cho's kisses were nothing but little pecks matched up to Luna's. Moving his hands up

her waist to the center of her back, Harry responded to Luna's paranormal touch.

=========================

Cho observed the happy couple, her resentment sweltering and burning on fire.

"Damn that Looney!" she thought angrily, "So it had been her at the ball huh? Well I

will get her back, and I think I know just how to do it!!! Good riddance Looney. So the

world will be a better place, cause you, Looney Lovegood, are going bye, bye!!"
