"Harry, do you still have Cedric's letter?" asked Cho after they broke apart. It had seemed like hours although it had probably only been a few minutes.
"Yeah why?" said Harry as he pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to her. She scanned it quickly and then pointed the line out about The Phoenix's Raven.
"Harry you think this is what Cedric was talking about?"
"I'm not sure Cedric meant me getting a vision of a phoenix and a raven. But for now can we just keep this a secret? Between the two of us?"
"If you say so." Said Cho as she flung her arms around his neck from behind and hugged him. "We should probably get your shirt back on, people might get the wrong idea."
"I think I rather like the idea of giving them the wrong idea." Said Harry with a grin. "OW!" yelled Harry as Cho smacked the back of his head.
"Ugh boys! I don't know what I saw in you." said Cho in mock disgust.
"Can you blame me? You're beautiful." Said Harry as he kissed her hard on the lips. Cho moaned into the kiss as she dug her fingers into his hair.
They fell backwards onto the grass and he pulled Cho on top of him without breaking their kiss. He closed his eyes as their kiss grew more passionate. He pulled her close to him. He breathed in the smell of her face; he took in the feeling of her lips against his; he felt the warmth of her body against his. He desperately tried to memorize every detail, he had feeling it would be useful if dementors ever became a problem again.
Cho smiled as they kissed, she felt good better than she had in a long, long time. Her smile grew wider as Harry dragged her back towards the ground with him. She loved the way he made her feel safe, happy, and… loved? Cho wasn't sure about the last one but that would have to be figured out later, she pushed it to the back of her mind and continued kissing the only person that mattered at this point. Harry.
After a fierce snog Cho reluctantly pulled away to gulp in some air. Regretfully she broke their kiss. Harry looked up at her, his emerald eyes burning. Cho stared into the two emerald orbs before resuming their passionate make out session. Cho lost herself in Harry's eyes she knew they would probably get in trouble later, but she didn't care. Harry mattered. What he thought mattered. She ran her fingers through his messy dark hair, smiled, closed her eyes, and pulled him closer to her.
A tall, beautiful brunette had walked out of the castle, she looked around for any signs of a dark haired witch. She saw Cho snogging Harry Potter passionately and just smiled to herself. Shaking her head she walked over to them. She chucked to herself as she stood over the pair, waiting for one of them to notice.
Cho Chang froze as she saw someone's shadow looming over them. She slowly turned her head to see her best friend Jessika smirking as she stood over them. Cho knew she was going to catch hell from her later. Jessika raised an eyebrow. Cho flushed deep scarlet as Jessika's grin widened to rival that of a Cheshire cat's.
"Don't you two think you should be getting a room?" asked Jessika.
Harry and Cho both blushed even more as they sat up quickly. They looked at each other meekly before breaking down into laughter. Jessika just shook her head quietly. Harry helped Cho back to her feet as she smoothed out some of the wrinkles in her robes.
"Cho, do you want to introduce me?" asked Harry politely.
"Oh! Right… Harry this is Jessika, my best friend since first year. Jessika, Harry." Said Cho, still pink in the face.
"Delighted." Said Harry as he made a gentlemanly bow.
"So glad to make your acquaintance." Said Jessika as she curtsied. Cho just giggled at the sight.
"Harry, you should probably put your shirt back on." Said Cho handing him the shirt. Harry slid the shirt back on, but not before Jessika had already had a good look at his torso.
"Cho, Harry not that snogging in public is a bad thing, but have either of you given a thought to what would have happened if it was someone else that had found you?" asked Jessika as she cocked her head. Both Harry and Cho blushed bright red again at the thought. "Still don't want people to know yet?"
Harry just shrugged while Cho shook her head.
"It'd cause too much gossip and attention, honestly that's the last thing me and Harry need." Said Cho.
"Hey, if Cho isn't comfortable with it, then that's it." Said Harry simply.
"The perfect gentleman are we?" said Jessika with a smirk.
"Well, first I wouldn't do anything to hurt Cho." Said Harry as he slid his arms around her waist and hugged her. "Second, I've had enough attention to last a lifetime. Finally, If I did anything to hurt Cho she'd make my life hell."
Cho just smiled sweetly. "Whatever do you mean Harry?'
Harry just smiled, shook his head, and whispered in Cho's ear, "Want go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?" Cho just smiled and nodded.
"We should better head back up to the castle, it's getting dark." Said Jessika, she walked on ahead determined not to look behind her to find out what the source of the giggling behind her.
As they reached the Entrance Hall Harry reluctantly turned to Cho and said, "I'll meet you here tomorrow? Around eight?"
"Sure."
"See you tomorrow Cho." Whispered Harry as he kissed her and then reluctantly broke apart and walked back towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
"You really like him don't you?" asked Jessika.
"Yes." Sighed Cho dreamily.
"You always get the good ones." Sighed Jessika. "I saw his body, you always end up with the attractive ones!" giggled Jessika.
"He's amazing." Said Cho in the same dreamlike stare.
"Alright lovebird time to go back to the common room." Sighed Jessika as she grabbed Cho's arm and steered her in the right direction.
Back in the Gryffindor Common Room Harry was sitting on the ground, in a trance like state next to Ron and Hermione. The two were finding it extremely hard to keep him in a conversation for more than a minute. He had attempted to play some chess against Ron with very poor results.
"Harry what's going on?" asked Hermione impatiently. "You haven't spent any real time with us the past few days, you keep disappearing every morning and reappearing in the common room at night looking like an idiot."
"Huh? Wha? Sorry I wasn't listening." Said Harry as he seemed to wake up.
"This is exactly what I mean Harry!" grumbled Hermione as she threw her hands up in the air.
"Hey leave the kid alone Hermione." Said George as he sat down next to Harry.
"Yeah, after I'm sure he has someone on his mind." Said Fred as he sat down on the opposite side of Harry. His eyes narrowed.
"They couldn't have…"
"So, Harry busy day trying to keep your hands to yourself?" asked George with a huge grin.
"Oh gods… They know. Maybe- maybe they won't tell."
"We think it's time Ron and Hermione found out, don't we George." Said Fred with an even wider grin.
"If the two of you tell…" whispered Harry as he pulled out his wand.
"Fred I think he needs to be restrained." Said George.
"Dear brother, I think you might be right."
"Shall we?"
"After you."
The twins pile drove Harry at the exact same time, his wand flew out of his hand as George grabbed it. After several minutes of intense old fashioned scraping Fred had successfully put Harry in an arm lock.
"George old pal I do believe he's successfully restrained."
"Why Fred my good man I do believe you right." Said George with a chuckle.
"George, no -!" roared Harry, his face red. George just laughed.
George just motioned for Ron and Hermione to come over and started whispering in their ears. Harry roared in fury and redoubled his efforts to break out of Fred's arm lock. With a yell of warning, Fred lost control of Harry as he dived into George's side knocking the two of them a clean ten feet.
Harry turned around and instantly all color drained from his face. He hadn't gotten to George fast enough. They knew. Harry looked up at the ceiling, closed his eyes, and groaned. Shit. Cho was going to bloody murder him.
"Harry why didn't you just tell us?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah mate, you know we'd never make fun of you for that." Said Ron.
"What are you talking about?" stated Harry flatly.
"What're you talking about, George told us Harry. After all you've been through it's perfectly normal to have nightmares." Said Hermione.
"I- you- but- I thought…" croaked Harry before he lost all use of his voice. Fred and George just high-fived.
"Word for the wise Harry, the best pranksters always make sure they aren't found out until it's too late." Said Fred. Harry just groaned. The joke was on him. After giving him back his wand Fred and George left the common room quietly laughing.
Harry just hung his head groaning. He played right into their hands. He should've guessed from their experience Fred and George would've pulled a fast one. He felt like a complete and utter moron, but then his thoughts turned to Cho and their kiss. He sighed happily before announcing that he was going to bed.
Back in the Ravenclaw common room Cho was in a similar predicament, except it didn't involve tackling, or red headed twins. No, it involved someone much worse, her friend Jessika Roselyndale.
"Jessika give it back!" whined Cho as she chased her friend around the Girl's Dormitories. Jessika was running around laughing with Cho's wand.
"Not until you tell!" said Jessika in a singsong voice.
"Never!" shrieked Cho as she ran faster.
"Then I s'pose your going to have to learn how to do magic without a wand real so-" said Jessika before she tripped on a book lying around and fell to the ground. She turned around to see a furious Cho Chang glaring down at her. Jessika winced, knowing she was trapped.
"Jessika…" whispered Cho in a tone that bordered on bloody murder.
"Yes?" asked Jessika.
"My wand. Now." Stated Cho as her eyes narrowed. Jessika knew better than to try and stop Cho when she was like this, she sighed and handed the wand back to its rightful owner.
"Come on. Just a tiny detail?" begged Jessika.
"Fine…" said Cho knowing she would regret it latter. Jessika just squealed in delight.
"What'd you want to know?" asked Cho in a bored voice as she plopped back down onto her bed.
"So… how is he?" asked Jessika with a giggle.
"You're going to have to be a lot more specific." Said Cho with a raised brow.
"Oh come off it, you know what I mean. How good is he in bed?" asked Jessika with a twinkle in her eye. Cho went beet red.
"Jessika! You know I'm not like that." Yelled Cho as she buried her face into her pillow. Jessika sighed, she should have known better. Of course, Cho wouldn't have done anything yet. She was Perfect Cho Chang after all.
"Cho?"
"Yes."
"Can I ask another question?"
"No."
Jessika sighed, it was going to be awhile before she got any information about Harry's talent as a boyfriend of Cho. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Still, if she couldn't get anything out of Cho about Harry, maybe, just maybe Cho's brother could. Yes… She'd have to ask him about it some time.
"Don't even think about asking my brother Jessika." Came Cho's muffled voice from her pillow.
"I swear you're a freaking legilimens now?" sighed Jessika. "There goes that idea."
"Jessika, I've been friends with you for four years. I know how you think."
"It was worth a try."
"If you say so. Now I'm going to bed."
