Authors Note: Although this was short I like it. I was going to change it a little, but decided not too.

Hermione just looked at her go, then went back to reading the Daily Prophet. Her face filled with concentration on what she was reading, not a thought in her head about Ginny. She knew what was wrong with her. She was crushing after Harry, but he was oblivious. Maybe things would work out. Maybe.

Cedric and Cho were putting their things on the Hogwarts express when Cho saw Fleur. "What does that, that, SLUT want with my Harry!" Cedric turned to in time to see Fleur kiss Harry's cheek, then Gabrielle kissed his cheek. He turned back to Cho. "Your Harry? When did you two start dating?" He asked with amusement.

Cho's face went slightly red as she muttered something about they weren't dating yet. Cedric just chuckled at that. Cho was getting jealous at every girl that looked at Harry but wouldn't go talk to him. He had seen the way she attempted to look into his eyes the few times they talked. He had seen her itch her hands when they moved while they were talking, probably stopping herself from messing with his hair. He had even heard her have an argument with Padma and Ginny. The three of them liked him but he was oblivious to it all.

Padma wasn't impressed with either Harry or Ron at the Ball, but she was impressed by the fact that Harry was always polite. She observed him while he was dancing with Parvati in the opening dance. He mostly stepped on her feet, and had no clue as to what he was doing. Parvati almost looked relieved when they stopped dancing. But Harry stopped paying attention to her. However, he seemed to pay little to no attention to anyone else. Of course she could be wrong. She was so upset with Ron not even taking her to the dance floor. All he did was watch Hermione or glare at Krum. No dance, no drinks, no food, just sat there watching.

Padma followed Harry out afterwards and saw Hermione tell him and Ron off. Even though Harry did nothing wrong, he still went with Ron. Why did he do that? Did his relatives teach him respect or was it something else. Her respect for him gradually increased over the months. It started in the month before the Ball.

First was the Hungarian Horntail. His prowess in the air during Quidditch had caught her attention. But it was the First Task that caught her interest. She watched him with great intensity both before and after the ball. After the second task, she was taken in by his heroism. He had, as Dumbledore put it, Moral Fiber. His "moral fiber" made her have a crush on him. But with the news of Voldemort, she wanted his protection as he dueled Voldemort and lived.

And what better way to grab his protection than to date him. The problem was that Cho and Ginny both wanted him as well. The three of them had discussed it for quite a long time. They eventually decided that they should each come to Harry at the start of the next year together. They would each tell him what they felt and have him choose. All the while, they wanted him to not choose multiple partners.

Multiple partners were disturbing. None of them wanted to kiss each other, only Harry. 'Oh Harry, where will you go Harry? Should I write you and gather more information? Or should I just simply try and date you ahead of the other two.' Padma thought to herself. Things could be so confusing. She sincerely hoped that Harry would pick her though.

Little did she know, Ginny and Cho were plotting to write him as well.
