CHAPTER 2
"A phoenix? You got a phoenix?" Cho said (and sounding shocked as well). "How the hell did he find a
phoenix? Those some of the rarest fuckin creatures around!"
Harry looked shocked also. "I'm not sure. Maybe he stumbled on it while taking a piss"
"Well there's an odd image" Cho giggled.
"So where do you think I should keep this thing?" Harry wondered outloud.
"Not sure." Cho sighed. "How about your room?"
"Good idea, maybe Hedwig can take care of it" Harry said.
"Want me to help build a nest?" asked Cho.
"Nah, I think Hedwig will do that. That is if she wants to take care of a baby phoenix"
"So what do we do now?"
"We can take this egg to my house and see if Hedwig will take care of it."
"Alright lead the way"
Harry took the egg and led the way to his house.
When they arrived back at number four Harry ran up the stairs followed by closely by Cho.
"Hedwig wake up!" Hedwig woke up with a start and gave an irritated hoot. "Oh quit it I have something
for you." And with that said Harry put the egg in Hedwig's cage. "You thank you can take care of it?"
Hedwig gave another hoot that sound a lot like 'of course!' Thanks girl, your a life saver. Hedwig then flew
out the window to collect twigs and whatever things birds use to make a nest.
"So what do we do now?" Cho asked.
"Not sure, how about we finish cleaning out Dudley's old room?" Harry suggested.
"Good idea but first let me make sure there isn't any more posters or any Playboy magazines." Cho said
with a tiny smirk on her face.
"Cool, let's go" Harry led the way out of his room, past the guest room, past his aunt's bedroom, and then
finally reaching Dudley's bedroom door.
"Alright I'll go in and make sure there's no porn, then I'll call you in." Cho said.
"Ok thanks"
Cho smiled and walked into Dudley's old room. "Ok here goes" Cho pulled out her wand and muttered
something. The effect was instantaneous, porn magazines, posters, and video tapes shot out of the bed, closet,
dresser, and even a hole behind a picture. With a flick of her wand Cho made the stuff appear in Draco's
closet. "Alright Harry, it's clear!"
"Finally, I was starting to wonder if you were swallowed up in a black hole."
"Well in this room I wouldn't be surprised" Cho giggled.
Harry just nodded and pulled out his wand. "Organisiuz!" Suddenly every thing flew into separate piles,
making the room look more organized, exept for the exeption of everything still being on the floor.
"Hey where'd you learn that spell?" Cho asked while looking impressed.
"I found it in a book once" Harry shrugged.
"Ok, do you know this one? Cleanius!" Every thing shot onto shelves, the dresser, onto a desk, and into
the closet, making it look completely clean.
"Nice one, but beat this! Surfacous Cleanous!" The floors were suddenly clean, as well as the walls,
windows, desk, and dresser. "What do you think?" Harry smirked
"I think I'm going to get finish this room, Folderton!" All the clothes suddenly jumped up folded
themselves and shot in the dresser. "It looks like I win" Cho said smirking as well.
"Not even close, Roomous cleanionton!" There was a bright flash and the room was sparkling. "What do
you think of that Cho?"
"I think you win" she sighed. But then an idea came to her. "And you deserve a prize"
And before Harry could react Cho pulled him into a deep passionate kiss. It took Harry a second to react,
but when he relized what was happening he immediately started kissing Cho back. And the only thing that the
two was feeling was pure bliss.
After what seemed like all afternoon (which it was really was) someone cleared their throat. "Harry as
happy as I am that you have a girlfriend, please do not snog in the presence of others.
Harry and Cho's heads shot up just in time to see Aunt Petunia walking out of the room.
"Cho?" Harry said.
"Yeah Harry?" Cho replied.
"How the hell did we end up on the floor without noticing?"
"I'm really not sure."
"One more thing"
"Yeah?"
"What time is it?"
Cho glanced at her watch. "About 4:15"
"Ok." Harry said. "So we've been snogging all afternoon?"
"I guess so" Cho giggled.
Harry then relized his hand was up Cho's shirt (all the way up). And of course Cho relized this too.
Cho and Harry thought the exact same thing, 'I didn't expect that to happen'
Harry then slowly pulled his out of Cho's shirt and blushed. "Sorry" he mumbled
"Don't worry about it" Cho smiled. "In fact I really enjoyed it" This seemed to lighten the mood a little.
Aunt Petunia's voice suddenly came from downstairs. "Harry come down here please!"
"Coming Aunt Petunia!" Harry replied as he got off Cho. "Come on, I want to introduce you to my aunt."
Harry grinned (A/N: I don't know why he grinned, it just seemed appropriate at the time)
"Alright, let's go." Cho said, but she also looked a little nervous.
Once downstairs, Harry noticed Aunt Petunia was smiling. "You wanted me Aunt Petunia?"
"Why yes Harry, I just wanted to let you that I have gotten job!" Petunia said happily.
"That's great! Where are you working at now?" Harry asked.
"I'm now working as a banker!" (A/N: That is the right term right?) she said smiling even more.
"That's great aunt Petunia! When do you start?"
"Tomorrow, I'll have to leave around 6:00 AM so you'll have to make your own breakfast."
"Alright, but I'm going to miss your home cooking" Harry smiled.
"Oh don't worry I'll be home on Sundays so then I can cook" Petunia smiled back. She then noticed Cho.
"And who is this pretty young lady?"
"This is Cho Chang" Harry blushed. "Um, my girl friend"
"Oh really? Well it's about time you got girlfriend!" Aunt Petunia said happily. "How long have you
been going out now?"
Harry and Cho looked at each other then launched into telling Petunia about Harry's fifth year/Cho's sixth
year, and finally ending in Harry and Cho apologizing to each other in the truck.
"That's quite the story you two," Petunia said, she then turned to Cho "Cho would you like to stay for
dinner? Since Dudley and Vernon left we're going to have more than enough food."
"I'll have to ask my parents but besides that, yes I'd love to!" Cho replied.
Harry then spoke up. "Oh yes, Aunt Petunia, Ron and Hermione said they would love to come over for the
summer"
"That's good, I was hoping they'd come, now you two won't be so bored this summer." said Petunia.
"When can they come over?" asked Harry.
"Well knowing you wizards how about tomorrow at 11:00?"
"Ok I'll go tell them, come on Cho" Harry and Cho started up the stairs and soon got to Harry's room.
"Cho can you hand me some parchment?"
"Sure, here"Cho said handing Harry a piece of parchment
Harry then started writing
Ron
That's great! And to answer you question, yes Hermione will be coming. Aunt Petunia said you
can come around 11:00 am
Harry
P.S. Aunt Petunia said to bring some butter beer if you can
Harry then took the parchment that Cho handed him
Hermione
That's great! And to answer you question, yes Ron will be coming. Aunt Petunia said you can
come around 11:00 am
Harry
P.S. Aunt Petunia said to bring some butter beer if you can
Once Harry finished the letters he called Hedwig who was sitting on the phoenix egg. "Hedwig can you
take these to Ron and Hermione? This one is for Ron and the other is for Hermione, I'll take care of the egg
for you while you're gone." Hedwig gave a hoot, then took off, carrying the letters in her talons. "Cho do
you know any spells that can keep something warm?" Harry asked.
"Actually yes I do" Cho said while she pulled out her wand. "Warmious!"Instantly the egg turned red then
back to normal.
Harry put his hand on the egg then nodded in approval. "That should work. how long does the spell last"
he asked.
"About eight hours" Cho replied. "What do we do now?"
"Not sure" Harry said, "How about we see what's on TV?"
"Ok, let's go!" Cho and Harry took off out of Harry's room, down the stairs, and then into the sitting
room.
********************************************
TWO HOURS AND ONE MOVIE LATER
********************************************
"Well that was a good movie" Harry said "That's the first time I've seen 'Lilo and Stich'
"Same here" Cho said "Why don't we go see of Hedwig is back?" she suggested
"Ok, come on" Harry replied as he stood up.
****************
UPSTAIRS
****************
Harry and Cho walked into Harry's room (again) and saw Hedwig sitting on the egg and two letters sitting
the desk.
Harry picked up the letters and read them both. "Ok Ron and Hermione agreed to the time tomorrow"
"Good now we don't have to wait till next week or something" Cho said. "Uh oh"
"What is it Cho?" Harry asked
"I forgot to ask my mum and dad if I could stay here for dinner" Cho said
"Can you call them?"
"Yeah, I'll be right back" Cho ran out of the room and down the stairs.
A few she came back into the room looking happy. "They said yes"
"Good, now I don't have to eat completely alone"
"Cho, Harry! Dinner is ready!" came Petunia's voice.
"Well time to get something to eat" Harry said as he took Cho's hand and started walking downstairs.
*******************
AFTER DINNER
*******************
"Good night Cho, and Harry hurry back! It's late" Aunt Petunia called as Harry and Cho started walking
down the sidewalk so Harry could walk Cho home.
"Well your aunt is pretty nice" Cho smiled
"Yeah, I never guessed she could so nice" Harry said "So how was..." But Harry never completed his
sentence.
A voice suddenly rang out through the area. "Stupefy!"
"Cho move!" Harry pushed Cho down onto the ground and drew his wand as a red beam shot past him.
"Expeliarmus! Harry yelled as he shot into the direction the voice came from.
"You missed Potter!"
"Cho, I think we're surrounded, can you apperate?" Harry asked.
"No, you?" Cho replied.
"No, draw your wand and get ready for a fight"
"Ok" Cho slowly stood up and pulled out her wand.
"Show yourselves you cowards!" Harry shouted.
Slowly eight death eaters started walking out of the bushes, appearing out from under invisibility cloaks.
"Well, well, well, we meet again Potter one of the men sneered."
"What a surprise Malfoy, what are you doing here?" Harry growled.
"Coming to fetch you and your girlfriend for our master you foolish boy" Lucious Malfoy growled back
"Well sorry to disappoint you Lucious but we need to go to home and get some sleep, but you can come
back sometime around, oh let's say never" Harry replied "Now are you going to leave or are you going to
face all of us?"
"What do you mean, 'all of us? There's only two of you!"
"I mean all of us, as in all of the wizards behind you guys"
"That's a good on..." But Lucious was interrupted as eighteen voices rang out.
"STUPEFY!!!" with this word (that came from the eighteen voices) all the death eaters hit the ground.
Stunned.
"Harry Potter, Cho, are you two ok?" asked one of the wizards.
"Yes we're fine thanks" Harry replied.
"Yeah thanks daddy" Cho said to the man.
"Your welcome sweety" the man chuckled. "So you're Harry Potter?" the man said.
"Yep, that's me" Harry said while looking a little nervous.
"Well thank you for trying to get my daughter out of there, instead of trying to save you own ass first"
Smiled Mr. Chang. "And a very good job on keeping your cool while in a possible death trap, but I daresay
you've been in worse?"
"Yes much worse than that, believe me" Harry said thought he still looked a little nervous.
"Well Cho" the man said turning to Cho, "Your mother said for me to bring you home, or else"
"Ok, just a sec dad" Cho said. She then turned to Harry and kissed him gently on the lips. "I'll see you
tomorrow Harry" she said as both her and her dad started walking towards number six Privet drive.
"A phoenix? You got a phoenix?" Cho said (and sounding shocked as well). "How the hell did he find a
phoenix? Those some of the rarest fuckin creatures around!"
Harry looked shocked also. "I'm not sure. Maybe he stumbled on it while taking a piss"
