Chapter 8: Last Tuesday

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Harry, Hermione, and Ron had been laughing to something funny Ginny had said. Harry asked Ron if he wanted to go and find Goyle and Zabini to establish some things about the Potion's assignment. Ron agreed and after dinner was over Hermione was talking to Ginny and they were so engaged in a conversation, probably their girly things that Harry and Ron didn't say anything, just made their own way to where they thought the Slytherins would be.

"Listen Ron, Goyle is probably still eating with Crabbe. I think Zabini might be in the library, he's always reading. I'm going to go and look for him." Said Harry. Ron nodded glumly. He wasn't looking forward to Goyle.

Harry actually wanted to go and find Cho. She had sent him a note in the early morning, telling him to go down to the big Oak tree by the lake after dinner. And he thought he had to go. She needed to stop looking at him in the way she did, and he would make it clear. He wondered what she was going to possibly say. Things between them were way over and she knew that. Then why does she always look like she knows something I don't...Harry didn't waste too much time pondering the questions he had, all he was going to say was that he didn't want anything with Cho. He had a love now, Hermione, and she was the greatest thing he could ever hope for...

Harry was making his way to the Oak tree, there wasn't anyone there yet, so he sat on a big boulder a couple feet away from the Oak tree.

Harry sat there; again thinking of what he was going to say; whatever happened he was going to make it clear he didn't want Cho or any other girl chasing him.

"Guess who?" Asked a sweet voice, but he knew who it was; Cho and he didn't like the way she was greeting him, like they were friends or more than that...

Harry immediately stood up and moved by the tree, pushing her hands away from him. "Listen Cho–," but he was instantly cut off by Cho's glossed lips crushing hard against his own mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and clung to him as if her life depended on it.

When she finally let go of him, she backed off, putting her hands in the back of her and smiling deviously at him.

"Look Cho, I came here not because I wanted to see you." He began as firmly as he hoped, "but because I don't want you to keep smiling at me every time I see you. And I please stop sending me notes." His voice quivered a bit, or more actually lost the firmness it had. There was something about the way she just stood there waiting. It was like he was back in fourth year, and she all of a sudden made him nervous...But why?... It seemed that she also got dressed to meet him. She did her hair, and put on loads of make up, that to any other man, might seem sexy, but was too much for Harry, though he had to admit she looked good. She was wearing her skirt much higher than most other girls at Hogwarts, at least much more than Hermione's. "In case you were not aware, Hermione and I are dating...and I love her." He looked at the floor slightly, then back at her. "I really don't want to do this, but please stop following me around–."

Again he was all of a sudden cut off by her body pressing hard against him and his back was up against the tree. She kissed him everywhere feverishly and wrapped her legs around Harry's waist. It almost knocked him backwards, good thing she was small, or else he probably would have fallen. He could just imagine if a girl like Pansy jumped on him.

Harry put his hands on her hips trying to get her off, but she held on tight. He thought of Hermione, if she saw this she'd probably dump him on the spot.

Now, Harry had to admit she was a damn good kisser. She made him feel like she was hungry, starving to taste him. Harry could not say anything, he was too focused on getting air first.

Cho stopped kissing him, but only just, she was still holding him tightly, and still had her legs wrapped around him firmly. She let out a breath and said, "Harry, take me...I want to be yours, now," she gasped.

Harry was at a loss for words...He didn't know what to say, obviously the rational sane part of him was saying that Cho had to get off him, and he had to get back to Hermione, but another part of him, his id, was saying, to enjoy something he wouldn't get from someone as beautiful and pure as Hermione, at least not for a while...God, what on Earth is going through his mind...

He's a guy for heaven's sake! And she's a girl! He was struggling between what was right, and what felt good and was wrong...He stopped trying to get Cho off of him and settled his hands on her hips, Cho liked the way this was going...She started to kiss him even more feverishly than before. This couldn't be right, but it felt really good...

Cho finally unwrapped her legs from his waist and pulled him away from the tree and onto the grass, the sun was almost setting and they began to pant wanting more. Harry wasn't thinking, of course he wasn't, if he had been he would not be doing this to Hermione, or to himself.

His hormones were raging, he was a first timer and sinful minutes later, he finally collapsed on top of her, slightly panting. And it was right then that he realized what he had done...

He quickly gathered his pants and put them on again. His shirt had been lying in the grass a few feet away from him, he quickly picked that up and tried to put it on as fast as he could.

"Wait! Harry stop." Cho said, Harry froze, he didn't want to look at her. "Harry it was amazing...And don't leave just yet."

"Cho, this should have never happened...no...Hermione..." He said quietly. He had a tear threatening to escape his left eye. Hermione's pretty, innocent face popped into his mind, and refused to ever leave. God, what had he done...

He put his face in his hands and moved to sit on the rock. "Harry you've cheated on Hermione–," Harry looked up at her she was smiling somewhat and he quickly looked down at his feet. He felt so guilty, if only he could take it all back, have it never happen...It was too late though...

"You've got to tell her...Harry let's give us another chance, just one more?..." She asked him kneeling in front of him. He lifted his head up and looked at her, his eyes somewhat coldly.

"I can't," he whispered. He got up and walked away a few steps before turning back and stating firmly, "I can't." He walked away, leaving an angered, yet satisfied Cho behind...

He was already caught, now she just needed to reel him in...
