Cho didn't feel like going to any of her classes, but since she needed an excuse, she went to Madame Pomfrey for a note. She didn't ask Cho any questions about what was wrong; she just handed her a slip of paper that contained a short letter and her signature. After this, Cho went back to her room, thinking that she could show the note to all of her teachers at dinner. She quickly ran through her list of chores and homework; cleaning, organizing, writing essays, etc. Since she had nothing better to do, she sat down on a plush, green chair that was big enough for two people (and was commonly used that way, too). She slung her feet over the left armrest and began to read a copy of The Law Of Similars by Chris Bohjalian, even though it was a Muggle book. It was still interesting…
Cho was a lone for quite some time until the very person she wished to see came through the portait hole and into the Gryffindor commonroom: Harry.
Oh my God, I must look horrible! She thought to herself. Still, she had no time to do anything but take her feet off the chair and hope to God that he would sit down next to her.
"Hey!" Harry said to her, "You look really cute today…" Harry blushed deeply and stared into her dark eyes. She held his gaze for a moment, said, "Thanks. You too!" with a little giggle and looked away. "You can sit next to me if you want to…" she said hopefully. Sure enough, he sat down carefully at her side. They spoke to each other for a little while, about nothing more than the horrid homewmork load and the weather. Petty things like that. Then Harry exclaimed, "Look! Outside the window! Did you see it? The shooting star?"
"Yeah…it was beautiful. Did you make a wish?"
"I did. Did you?"
"Of course!" They laughed a little at this.
"Well, what did you wish for?"
"Harry, I couldn't tell you! It wouldn't come true!"
"Oh really? I never knew that…Thanks for the tip!" Harry and Cho laughed for a while, and then just sat, wondering what the other had wished for. After a moment or two, Cho broke the silence.
"I think we wished for the same thing. Do you feel it, too? That tension?"
Harry did. He felt like gravity was pulling him towards her. He trie to resist, but he just couldn't do it any longer. He looked straight into her eyes, held the back of her head and the small of her back, and pulled her towards him. Surprisingly, she didn't resist or try to pull away. Instead, she put her hands on his chest and climbed on top of him. They kissed for what could have been only a few seconds, or even a half and hour. Either way, neither of them knew or cared how long it had been. After they pulled away from each other, Harry said softly, "I love you. Will you go out with me?" He breathed deeply, as if a great burden had been taken off of his shoulders, but there was one more hurdle he had to clear.
"My wish came true," Cho replied. They kissed again, and at that, Cho left Harry to go to her room. Both of them sat in silence and replayed those few minutes in their heads, just beaming. They were so happy.
