Harry
finally, after what seemed to take forever, felt solid ground beneath
his feet as Ginny landed her broom beside his, and embraced him in a
warm loving hug.
"I'm so proud of you Harry! Wonderful
job on catching the snitch, I thought Cho had won it for sure!"
She gave him a huge grin and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Though
Harry's mind was somewhere else, on someone else actually. "Yeah
Cho...thought she had won it too."
'Why didn't she win
it, she was so close?' Harry thought. 'She had looked so graceful
up in the air...so beautiful. No! Ginny is here giving you a hug and
all you can think about is Cho! You've completely lost it!'
"Harry, you okay? You don't look too good." Ginny
gave a worried frown as Hermione and Ron had now also come by Harry's
side.
"I'm fine Gin, don't worry...just a bit whipped
after the match. That's all." He lied, patting her on the
back.
"Great job mate! If you hadn't gotten the snitch
we'd be toast," Ron smiled trying to find the source of Harry's
unhappiness, "Glad we have you...I'm no help to the team at
all."
Harry knew Ron was expecting him to tell him he's
wrong, but he had way too much on his mind for that. Selfish as it
may seem...Harry didn't care how Ron felt at the moment.
Trying
to ease the mood as always Hermione spoke up, "Well
congratulations Harry, you deserve it. You put so much effort into
getting the snitch and winning it for your team."
That's
it...Harry couldn't take it anymore! He kept getting congratulated on
something he didn't do! Something Cho did, and it was starting to get
really irritating! He had to find her.
"You don't mind if
I take a walk do you?" Harry said in that 'on the edge' voice
that Hermione and Ron knew too well to argue against.
"No
it's fine!"
"Go for it mate."
"Do
you want me with you?" Ginny asked bravely, perhaps not knowing
as well as the other two the moods Harry could get into.
Harry
took a deep sigh attempting to keep his temper, "No thanks
Ginny...I need to find, I mean I need to see...I just need to be
ALONE!" He stormed off leaving Ginny quite speechless.
Hermione
closed her eyes and taking in a large breath of air as Ron hesitantly
patted Ginny's shoulder in comfort, "He gets like that Gin,
don't worry, very emotional that one but he didn't mean to hurt you,
I promise."
She shook her head with crystal clear tears
running down her flushed face and ran off down the misty Quidditch
Pitch. Hermione tried to run after Ginny but Ron reached out and held
her back by her forearm, "Don't...you'll only make it worse
believe me," He hugged Hermione and sat down on the wet grass,
"Mione you can't worry about them. They have to sort things out
on their own." She nodded and put her head on Ron's
shoulder.
Harry kicked away at the grass on the abandoned
Hogwarts grounds, he had been walking around for quite a while now
and it was beginning to get chilly, but he didn't seem to notice.
"You don't love Cho, you don't love Cho, you don't love Cho, you
don't love Cho-." Harry whipped around at the feeling of a hand
on his shoulder.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."
she said sweetly before continuing on "So er... why did you say my
name?" Cho flashed him that same innocent smile like she did in
the Quidditch game.
"Oh you misunderstood, I said uh
Go...not Cho." He stammered, trying to keep hold of his legs as
it felt they were only moments away from turning into Jell-O.
Cho
eyed him curiously but didn't say anything.
"You
don't have to be wrapped up in this Ginny! He said himself he's over
Cho! But why can't I believe this?" Ginny argued with herself
walking in the moonlight, she had been walking around thinking for
quite awhile now. "He doesn't like-CHO!" Ginny stopped dead
in her tracks as she was now looking at Harry and Cho walking
together across the grounds. She couldn't move, all this time she's
trying to convince herself while that git is off with Cho! With her
jaw still slightly open from surprise, Ginny quickly ducked behind a
tree and began spying on her boyfriend and enemy still not
comprehending what they were doing with each other. "I cannot
believe him..." she muttered to herself incoherently.
There
was an awkward silence until Cho broke it with her tiny little
giggles, "So congratulations on winning!"
"But
I didn't win...you could have easily won...why didn't you?"
Harry wanted his answers now so he could quit thinking about Cho...she
probably doesn't even like him anyway...and those giggles were
driving him mad, why did she have to be so cute when he least wanted
her to be!
"Well for one thing I thought you'd be happy,
and I also wanted to ask you something." she said
as-a-matter-of-factly.
"I'd be happy if I had won it
fair! and er...what do you want to ask me?" Harry asked
nervously, looking around not noticing Ginny standing behind a tree a
mere ten feet away.
"I want to know why our last
relationship failed..." Cho said..Her voice trailing off into a
whisper.
He could feel his temper raising as he digested
what she had just asked..."Well maybe if you hadn't bloody cried
everytime I was around you, things would have worked out
differently."
Unlike what Harry thought, she didn't seem
phased by his accusation, not even a bit. She stepped even closer to
Harry now, and he could feel her warm breath on him as she stood
looking at him for a few moments before saying...
"Well I've
changed Harry, more than you know." and before Harry could even
think about what she could have possibly meant, Cho had leaned in and
kissed him hard on the lips...with Ginny still behind the nearby tree
watching their every move.
(A/N: I hoped you liked it...one
idea popped into my head so I started writing...and then the
characters sort of took over and abandoned my idea. Weird I know but
I think it came out pretty well considering I hadn't planned on it
coming out like this. I still need help with 'When Fights Break Out
Love Is Released' so keep that in mind. R/R and happy readings!)
