The Yule ball...
Cho put on her dress and twisted her hair up into a bun.
Gabrielle was dressed in a long emerald green colour dress, that matched her eyes and her blonde hair flowed in curls around her shoulders.
Wanona's dress was made of silver and stopped above the knee and the shoulders were bare.
Her long brown hair was straight and there were tints of blonde.
Cho finished getting ready and followed the girls down to the great hall to meet up with Cedric.
Cedric was stood with Michael and Arnold McField outside the great hall waiting anxiously fro their dates.
"Hey Cedric." smiled Cho leaning on him slightly so her legs wouldn't be strained.
"Cho you look so beautiful." smiled Cedric as the two walked into the great hall.
"Thanks. I hope you don't mind us not dancing all night. Only my legs will probably collapse otherwise," said Cho apologetically.
"It's all right I'm not that much of a good dancer anyway." smiled Cedric.
Later...
After everyone had eaten their full and was dancing along to the weird sisters, Cedric snuck Cho out of the hall so they could find a quiet place to sit.
They soon sat down on the nearest bank of the lake admiring the stars and talking.
"Cho you are the best person I could have wanted to go to the ball with Me." smiled Cedric
"I couldn't have seen myself going with anyone else." smiled Cho as he leaned in.
Cho felt his lips brush hers lightly
"Please Cedric. Don't. " Whispered Cho as a thought filled her head.
"What's wrong?" asked Cedric lightly.
"I. Haven't been kissed like that since... since second year," murmured Cho.
"Is that good or what?" asked Cedric uncertainly.
Cho smiled at his concerned face.
"Yes it's good Cedric. Do it again," whispered Cho pulling his lips back to hers.
The two of them walked back to the castle and Cedric took Cho the entrance portrait of the Ravenclaw common room.
"Tonight was the best night I've had in ages Cedric." smiled Cho.
"Same here. Maybe we should do it again sometime?" asked Cedric.
"I'd love to." said Cho.
Cedric kissed her goodnight and then walked toward the Hufflepuff quarters.
Cho walked into the common room and saw Gabriel and Orla Quirke in a deep make out session, which seemed to have intensified when Cho walked in.
Cho smiled and walked to her dorm to try and get some sleep.
But whenever she closed her eyes she saw Fred's unhappy face.
She rolled over and tried to get it out of her head but with each movement her view of his eyes zoomed in.
Cho sighed as she opened her eyes and sat up.
No one else was in the room so she turned on the light and got changed into a pair of baggy jeans and a Singlet with a hoddie on top.
She pulled on a pair of boots and turned off the light on the way out.
She walked out the Ravenclaw house and towards the Gryffindor tower needing to desperately talk to Fred.
The fat lady had other occupants in her frame and let Cho in while she was distracted.
Cho walked in to see Angelina walk up to the girls' dorm with Kate and Alicia.
George was stood at the bottom of the boys' stairs talking to Lee.
"Um can you hold that thought Lee?" asked George as he saw Cho walk in.
"Hey George. Is Fred around?" asked Cho.
"Um yeah he's up in our dorm," said George.
"I really need to talk to him." said Cho moving towards the staircase.
George blocked her path.
"I'm sorry Cho but Fred doesn't want to see you." said George.
"But it's urgent. I really need him." said Cho.
"I'm sorry Cho." sighed George.
Cho bit her lip regretfully.
She knew if she looked sad George would let her through it had always been like that since she was ten.
"Ok fine. I'll let you through," sighed George moving to one side.
Cho smiled gratefully before she walked up to the sixth year dorm.
She knocked on the door and walked in to see Fred staring at his ceiling.
"Hey Fred. Can I sit down?" asked Cho.
Fred sat up and looked shocked to see her there.
"Well can I?" asked Cho.
"Sure I suppose." said Fred.
Cho sat down on his bed and Fred curled up away from her.
"What's wrong Fred?" asked Cho touching his hand.
"I just wanted to keep away from you. That's all." said Fred.
"What after what Gabriel did? Just forget that." said Cho.
Fred sat beside her and Cho saw his fright disappear.
"So what's up Cho?" asked Fred.
"Well I thought you should know that Gabriel and I aren't together any more." said Cho.
She saw Fred's eyes twinkle and his body ache for her already.
"But there's more Fred. I'm now seeing Cedric Diggory," said Cho.
"Cedric Diggory? But I thought you...." said Fred.
"I do still like you Fred but we have to be realistic," said Cho.
Fred turned his face to her and Cho moved closer not expecting anything to happen.
He brushed her neck with his lips and up to her chin.
"Please don't Fred." murmured Cho as his lips brushed hers.
"Shh relax Cho," said Fred before the kiss intensified.
"No I'm serious. I really like Cedric. We can't keep doing this Fred," said Cho moving away.
"But Cho I thought you...." began Fred.
"Listen Fred. I've got to go. I just came to see if you were alright," said Cho getting up.
"I'm fine," said Fred.
"Good well I'm going to go back to my dorm then." said Cho before she walked out.
She went to the Ravenclaw portrait and ran to her dorm.
She fell asleep and her dreams were of what could have been.
