Chapter Eleven: The Past Encounter
Harry awoke to find himself in bed with a sling on his arm. He tried painfully to get up, without stirring Cho. Harry was slightly confused and tried to recall the past incidents that happened to him. He suddenly remembered the European Championships' Quidditch Final. Harry had used his body to block the Bludger from smashing into Viktor Krum's body. Harry sat on the sitting room armchair, reading the newspapers, when Cho Chang entered and gave him a passionate kiss. Harry's tongue danced with hers briefly before they broke away. She entered the kitchen to make breakfast, while Harry continued reading the newspaper with much difficulty as he only had one good arm to use.
Harry suddenly remembered how they got together and became a long time boyfriend and girlfriend together.
FLASHBACK
It was Thursday, when Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, announced that the very Saturday was a Hogsmeade weekend. Harry glanced towards the Ravenclaw table and looked at the raven haired beauty, Cho Chang. Ron was talking excitedly to Harry but he was not paying attention. Ron finally realized his best friend was looking elsewhere and decided to nudge his ribs. Harry looked at Ron questioning his intentions.
"You know, she broke up with that Corner prat?" Harry looked at Ron surprised, and gave him a "How do you know?" look. Ron instantly replied, "Ginny told me." Harry chuckled and headed towards his first class. Ron looked at Harry, bewildered. He asked Hermione, "Did Harry just ignore the statement that Cho Chang and Michael Corner broke up?" Hermione punched Ron on the arm and replied, "You don't know Harry very much, do you? He's just delaying it so that he can ask her when the moment comes. Honestly, Ron. Being friends with him for six years and yet you don't understand him."
She also left him shocked. Ron muttered to himself, "Why does everyone except me understands the famous Harry Potter?" He also left the Great Hall to his first class.
Meanwhile (At the Ravenclaw table)
"You know, Cho? This is the time to ask him. You've been madly infatuated with him ever since last year," said her best friend, Laura Chan. "Yeah, I mean you only went to Michael jus to make him jealous," continued her other best friend, Natalie Richards. (A/N: I made Cho hate Marietta Edgecombe because she was well, a traitor.) "I don't know, you guys. I mean, maybe he doesn't like me anymore. He may be seeing Hermione Granger," answered Cho.
"No, Cho. Why not we ask Luna Lovegood? I mean she's friends with Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom of Gryffindor? They may know whether he likes you or not," suggested a very determined Laura. Cho nodded her head in agreement and headed to her first class with her best friends.
At Herbology Class (Harry, Ron and Hermione)
"Hey, Harry. You going to ask her?" ask Ron while trying to clean his Bowtree. (A/N: Made it up) Harry shook his head and said, "Nope, guess I'm going alone." Ron looked at Hermione and said, "Ha! You lost, Hermione. Pay up!" Hermione shook her head and gave Ron six Knuts. Ron looked gleefully at his new found cash, while Harry continued his work with Hermione.
At Charms Class (Cho, Natalie, and Laura)
"Hey Cho, listen up. Just now, I passed Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood. I heard that Harry is not seeing anyone, and he is very silent nowadays. I also heard that Ginny is going to ask Harry to Hogsmeade, so if you don't make a move, he might be snapped out of your hands," whispered Natalie. Cho nodded her head and continued trying to produce a Bubble Jet Charm. Laura giggled slightly causing water to spill all over her head as she flicked her wand wrongly.
Lunch Time
Harry, Ron and Hermione went to the Great Hall for lunch. He saw Ginny walking towards him with Luna Lovegood. Suddenly, there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Cho Chang with her two friends, Natalie and Laura. Ron nudged Hermione and left him alone with Cho. Natalie and Laura also left them together. Harry spoke, "Hi, Cho. How're you?"
Cho replied, "I'm fine, Harry. Listen, would you mind if we took a walk to the lake?" Harry nodded his head as he saw Ginny running to the Great Hall. Cho grabbed his arm and walked to the lake. When they reached the shady tree beside the lake, they sat down. Cho broke the silence and said, "Harry, I wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I was too afraid and timid. Harry, I liked you since last year and I would like you to go with me to Hogsmeade. Would you, Harry?"
Harry looked at her, dumbfounded. He nodded his head and she gave him a hug. Harry then spoke, "Cho, I liked you ever since, my third year, when I met you in the Quidditch game. I was disappointed when you went with Cedric to the Yule Ball, but I did not mind. Last year, I acted like a jerk on Valentine's Day. I'm sorry and I hope we would continue this bond we share." Cho nodded her head and gave him another hug, before both of them walked back to the Great Hall, hand in hand.
END OF FLASHBACK
Harry realized that he had rejected Ginny but he loved Cho more than anything in the world. He felt his pocket for the ring and smiled. He was going to propose to her.
Sorry, guys. I realized that I needed to make Harry propose after y' all understand how they made up with each other. I sorry, but the proposal was going to be on Chapter Twelve.
