Hermione's Bet with Cho
Hermione's Point of View
As Hermione was heading to her room to collect her books for Defence Against the Dark Arts, Cho headed towards her. Hermione knew what it was about, and didn't bother waiting for Cho to yell at her. She walked up to her and said, "Look Cho, Harry and I didn't do anything. Please believe me, I wouldn't touch Harry. I know that you two are probably going to date, and I have my own boyfriend, I don't need yours."
"Of course he didn't. Why would he sleep with you? I'm much prettier than you, and you know it. He's saving sex for me," Cho said with a smug attitude.
"I bet if I showed some interest in him he'd have sex with me first," Hermione couldn't help but saying.
"You bet, h'uh? How much?" Cho asked with that same smug attitude. "How about your pride; if you lose then you have to fail every test, including your NEWTs."
"And if you lose, then you have to do give up your popularity," Hermione said. Why am I doing this? she thought. I don't like Harry; why would I want to sleep with him?
"Okay, it's a bet," said Cho still feeling smug about the situation.
Hermione and Cho shook hands and walked of in their separate directions. If I don't want to sleep with Harry then why would I did I bet that I would? And besides, I'm dating Ron! I like him, maybe even love him, what would he think of the bet? What is going on with me?
Hermione was still wondering why she made the bet at the end of the day when she was making her way back to her room. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Ron calling her name and running after her. "Hermione! Wait up!" he called.
Hermione stopped walking and waited for him. "Hi Ron," she said when he caught up with her, "What's up?"
"Hey Hermione, um, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmede with me this Saturday," Ron asked sounding a little self-conscious.
Hermione didn't know what to say. For some reason she didn't want to go to Hogsmede with Ron. She didn't want to hurt his feelings, though, because it looked like it took a lot of guts to ask her. She didn't know why she was hesitating to go with him, though. He was her boyfriend and she was supposed to go with him. But even though she knew she should go with him, she was still reluctant. Finally she decided that she would and said, "Sure! I mean, who else would I go with?" She managed a smile and Ron seemed reassured.
"Great!" he said. "I'll meet you in the Great Hall at 1:00 on Saturday."
Hermione knew she did the right thing, but she somehow couldn't help but wish that she didn't accept the date. But who else would I go with? she wondered.
Then she saw Harry come out of his room in his Quidditch uniform and start down the hall. He looks so hot in that uniform! Hermione thought. No, I like Ron, not Harry! But I guess with the bet it can't hurt to like Harry as well. Hermione decided. Wait; the bet! How can I win Cho if I don't even go out with Harry? By this time Harry had started going down the stairs. I'll ask him to go to Hogsmede with me after Quidditch practice, Hermione decided. But what about Ron? I can't tell him I want to go with Harry instead of him, and if I lie to him and he goes to Hogsmede alone and sees me with Harry then he'll never forgive me. I guess I'll just break it off with him. I mean, I have to win this bet. I won't break up with him before I know whether Harry wants to go with me, though. Then I wouldn't have anyone to go to Hogsmede with. With that decided, Hermione went into her room (she had been standing in the hall all that time) and devoted her time to finding an outfit to wear to Hogsmede.
Harry's point of View
As Harry was heading to Quidditch practice he saw Hermione standing in the hall staring at him. He suddenly felt really embarrassed and went as quickly as possible, without running, to the stairs. He didn't know what was going on with him. Whenever he saw Hermione he felt weird. Kind of like the way he used to feel near Cho. It was then he realized that he didn't like Cho anymore. He liked Hermione. But she's dating Ron, thought Harry. I don't have a chance with her. Whatever, I'll ask her to go to Hogsmede with me anyway.
Harry continued walking to Quidditch practice, until he felt someone tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Cho. She had her hair done up in a loose bun, with a strand hanging in front of her eye. Her head was tilted slightly to the side in a way that suggested things. She was obviously trying to seduce Harry and he knew it. "Hi Cho. I'm kind of busy right now. I have to get to Quidditch. Bye," he said, annoyed.
"That's okay Harry," she said with a too sweet smile. "I won't take too much of your time. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to Hogsmede with me on Saturday. We'll have lots of fun."
Harry knew what kind of fun she was talking about. "No thanks," Harry said. "I've got to go."
Cho's point of view
Cho was surprised that Harry said no to her. She had acted as sexy as possible. She didn't know what else she could do. Why didn't Harry say yes, Cho wondered. Did Hermione get to him first? No, she couldn't have. And even if she did, why would Harry want to go out with her and not me. He likes me. Draco told me so. Wait... was Draco lying? She decided to go talk to him about this. She had promised him sex if he told her. Why would he lie? She didn't know, but she would get him to tell her the truth if it took all night in her secret room; the secret room that every boy in school wanted to go in with Cho; her secret sex room.
