Unexpected Love
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance
(A/N: I've come to realize that the Hogwarts Express chapter is always the same, and boring, so I'm sorry if you think that! Here goes nothing!)
"Cho, Cho, wake up! You're gonna be late for the first day of your last year!" Cho's mother called, as she scurried out of the room. Cho groaned as she woke up, but then when her mother's words sunk in, she sprang out of bed faster than you can say Lumos!
She got dressed extra carefully, when she remembered who would be on the train. She slipped on a black shirt with the word REBEL on it, and some low rise, faded jeans. Then she magically crimped her hair, made sure she had everything packed, and lifted her "lightweight" trunk from the ground, and headed downstairs for breakfast.
Downstairs, Lin was too excited to eat, and Cho just made herself some toast. Then her parents, Lin, and her flooed themselves to King's Cross, with fifteen minutes to spare.
"Have a good year, see you for Christmas, make sure you write!" Mr. Chang said, esthetically, kissing both his daughters.
"Cho, make sure you watch over your sister", Mrs. Chang called, doing the same. Then, she whispered in Cho's ear, "Don't get too wrapped up in boys!"
Cho groaned, as she pinned on her Head Girl Badge. She shot a look at her mother. Then, she took Lin's hand as they both ran through the barrier of Platform 9 and 10.

"Ron, Harry wake up! For once, I don't want to be late for the train!!" Mrs. Weasley screeched.
"Time to get up all ready?" Harry Potter asked.
"Sadly, yes." Ron muttered, as he sat up, and really got a good look at his best friend. (It was pretty hard when it was barely even dawn.) Harry Potter pretty much looked the same as ever year, except that he had gotten taller. His jet-black hair was as messy as always, and his emerald eyes were the greenest green.
"So Ron," Harry asked as he got dressed, "you happy to be seeing Susan?"
"Yeah, I guess", grumbled Ron as he checked his trunk.
Both boys dragged their trunks down the never-ending flights of stairs, to eat breakfast, where Ginny already was eating, trying to conceal her blush.
"Hurry up!" Mrs. Weasley ordered, throwing toast at them, and then pouring orange juice out of her wand. After everybody had choked down their food, they got all their trunks and bags together, to go to the fireplace. Mr. Weasley, the twins, and Bill and Charlie all had to work; so only Mrs. Weasley was there to see them off. They all took a handful of floo, and arrived at King's Cross-, with ten minutes to spare.
"Okay everybody, have a good term, I won't go any further, love you all!"
Called Mrs. Weasley as the two Weasleys and Harry disappeared behind the magical barrier.

"Cho, I see Emily, so I'm going to sit with her." cried Lin, as she walked away.
"Fine with me." Cho said happily, as she started to walk, but bumped into somebody.
"Sorry 'bout that" she muttered, and looked up to see who she bumped into, but wished she hadn't. She had bumped into no other than Ron. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked into beautiful blue eyes. They looked at each other for a minute, before Cho grabbed her bags as she dashed onto the train.
"Cho, my girl, we've been looking all over for you!' Somebody called from a compartment. Cho looked to see one of her best friends, Theresa.
"Hey Theresa!" Cho cried happily as she hugged Theresa, and then studied her.
Theresa Connors was a lean, 5'4 girl. She was a brunette and her silky hair fell about an inch past her shoulders, and had gorgeous chocolate eyes. Theresa was wearing tight, dark jeans, a silk blue shirt, with flip-flops. She was an amazing athlete, and was a keeper on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. She was muggle born, but her brother, David, was also a wizard, and was starting this year. She had a boyfriend, and his name was Nick, and she loved him.
Both girls waltzed into the compartment, where Cho's other two best friends were.
"Cho! You're Head Girl! Congratulations!" cried Kate, as she was embraced in another bone-crushing hug, as the train started to move.
Kate Johnson was a slim, 5'5 girl, She had shoulder length blond hair, which was never frizzy. Her aqua blue eyes were as blue as the ocean on a sunny day, and her smile was the sun. Katie was wearing black jeans, a pink tank top, and some black platforms. Kate was Keeper on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. She was a half-blood, and it was her older sister, Jenn's last year. She also had a boyfriend, who she adored, and his name was Shane.
"Hi Bri!" Cho sang, directing to her third best friend. "BRI!" Cho tried again, becoming annoyed.
"Hmm? What?" Bri asked, looking up from her book. Brianna Smith was a very interesting person. First off, she was obsessed with books, and had a new one to read nearly every night. Also, she was a Metamorphmagus. Today, she had short, spiky purple hair, with violet eyes to match. Bri was wearing a khaki skirt, a lilac shirt, and clogs. She was currently single, just most recently breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, Alex.
They were called the Fabulous Four. They were the Fabulous Five, before Marietta left them. You see, the spell that Hermonie put on her, couldn't come off, so Marietta was being home-schooled her last year, because she was too embarrassed to go out in public. Also, the Fabulouses used to be friends with the Golden Trio, but since Cho's break-up with Harry, they steered away from them.
"Whatcha reading?" asked Cho, trying to keep Bri interested.
"Oh, it's called Trickster's Choice, and it's really good", declared Bri, becoming absorbed in the book once more. (A/N: I do not own Trickster's Choice, Tamora Pierce wrote it, so she owns it.)
"Okay, anyway guys, I need to go to the Heads meeting so see you in about an hour", Cho said three hours later. "When the food trolley, comes, get me something, please!"
One hour later:
"Well, that was interesting." Cho declared, coming back into the compartment.
"Why's your face all red?" asked Kate.
Cho blushed even more. The real reason it was red because Ron had been looking at her the whole time she had given her speech. "Oh, it's hot in there!" she lied.
"Who's the Head Boy?" questioned Theresa.
"Oh, uh, Alex." Cho said quickly.
"WHAT??!!" Brianna yelled, ripping her eyes from the page and taking part in the conversation for the first time.
Cho fell to the ground laughing, but then straightened herself out, "Chill Bri, I have no interest in him." Then she looked out the window and sighed, "it's going to be a long year!"

Four hours earlier:
"C'mon Ron, I'm gonna find Hermonie" called Harry on Platform 9 ¾ .
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming" Ron said, gathering his bags, as Harry disappeared through the crowds. Then, he unexpectedly bumped into someone, as he fell to the ground.
"Sorry", he muttered, as he took out his hand to help the person up, but immediately put it back when he saw who it was. It was his crush, Cho Chang. As she looked up at him, and he looked back down at her (because she was much shorter than him), he felt this weird feeling inside him.
Then he came to his senses, as she scurried away. He sighed as he gathered his bags, and went to find his two best friends.
"Ron, Ron, over here!" Somebody called from the train. He didn't have time to figure out who it was, as he was thrown into a head of bushy, brown hair. It obviously was his other best friend, Hermonie Granger.
"Hi ya Hermonie!" Ron said cheerfully, as the train started to leave the station, and they moved into a compartment, occupied with Harry and Ginny.
"I love your hair!" Hermonie said, playing with it.
"Hey, cut it out!" Ron yelled as everyone stated to laugh.
They had a great time just hanging out and catching up on missed time, never once talking about You-Know-Who, and Sirius.
After three hours, Hermonie checked her watch and shrieked. "Ron! Our prefects meeting is in 5 minutes! Come on!"
"Get me some food!" Ron called as Hermonie was dragging him by the collar. Ginny also left, because she too was made a prefect, leaving poor Harry all alone.
One hour later:
"How did it go?" asked Harry when the three prefects trudged into the compartment, immediately ripping open food packages.
"Boring." They all said at once.
"How would you know Ron? You were looking at Susan the whole ti-"
"Silenco!" Ron cried, pointing his wand at Hermonie, getting even more red in the face.
Harry and Ginny doubled over in laughter while Hermonie was shooting Ron a death glare.
"For your information, I was NOT looking at Susan the whole time..." Ron stated, but didn't finish his sentence, because he had mostly been looking at Cho, who was sitting next to Susan. Then he did the counter curse to Hermonie, and looked out the window and sighed, "It's going to be a long year."
