Chapter 4
That following night, Peter was made the Ravenclaw Chaser and the Ravenclaw tower had a huge party with lots of food and butterbeer (thanks to Fred and George) and they partied all night long until everyone had either passed out or gone to bed. Only Ernie, Roger, Cho, and Peter were left awake, but Ernie had a little too much butterbeer and passed out. Roger decided to go to bed because they had Potions first thing. "Well now we're alone.", Cho said. "Yeah but we're also kinda not.", replied Peter, gliding his hand over the room of sleeping Ravenclaw. "True but I know a place where we can be alone.", she said, a mischievous grin across her face.
They walked out of the common room and went to the seventh floor where Cho opened a door that led to a private empty chamber, the Room of Requirement. They went inside and lit a fire. Getting comfortable, Cho snuggled up to Peter and laid her hand on his chest and he wrapped his arm around her. "Peter?", whispered Cho, "What's it like in the muggle world?" "Well, for one, there's no magic. I pretty much woke up, got to school, had as much fun as possible, which wasn't much, and then went home. Much more boring than any wizard or witch's daily life.", Peter replied, thinking way back before that door. Cho laid her hand on his shoulder and moved her face closer to his. Is she going to kiss me, Peter wondered, not moving an inch. Their lips had nearly touched when they heard a scream from Gryffindor tower. Looking through the keyhole, Peter saw Professor Mcgonagal enter the portrait. "Damn it Sirius.", Peter muttered under his breath, "Come on. The whole ruddy castle will have woken up to that and they might assemble in the Great Hall."
Surely enough, the whole student body was settling in to sleep in the Great Hall. "Oy!", exclaimed Percy, storming over to them looking quite ticked off, "What're you two doing getting here late!" "We got left behind. What's it any of your business anyway?", Cho replied rather coldly. "I am Head Boy, therefore, you will respect me!", he bellowed. "I am a muggle, and I have better grades and have earned more house points than you ever have! You should be respecting me! Do not talk of titles you have not earned!", Peter growled, making even Cho jump. Peter left Percy looking like a deer in the headlights to find a place to sleep. Cho followed him and settled in beside him and fell asleep.
The next day was riotous! The news of Ronald Weasley. Cho was all Peter could think about throughout Charms. To make up for the lack of a wand, he was forced to take extensive notes on whatever spell he was to learn, and had homework to do. It was a wonder he had time to spend with Cho. The bell rang and Peter had only written 'Cheering Charm'. "Shit...", Peter whispered. Professor Flitwick walked over and noticed that Peter hadn't written any notes... Peter couldn't look Professor Flitwick in the eyes and looked over at Cho. "No notes Peter? Why?", Flitwick asked and looked to see what Peter was looking at, "Ah. You have been bitten. It's alright. It is almost Valentines day." "I'm sorry Professor. It wont happen again, I assure you.", replied Peter, looking at the floor now. Peter packed up and walked to the common room with Cho.
"I'm gonna skive off History of Magic.", said Cho as she as she laid down on the couch. Peter walked over and laid down next to her. "Peter, what're you doing?", asked Roger coming into the common room. "NOTHING!", he said bolting upright. Cho burst out laughing. Roger grinned and sat in the chair across from the couch. Why is it everytime that Cho or I pull a move on each other, someone always messes it up, wondered Peter, remembering the incident in the room of requirement.
