Chapter Two: The Party

"Hagrid!" Harry exclaimed in a state of shocked joy. "And Snuffles!"

Snuffles woofed in greeting and Hagrid tipped his hat. Akira bolted through the front door closely followed by Tai.

"Hurry up!!!" Akira yelled.

"Ok, hold up!" Tai yelled back.

The front door slammed shut.

"What's going on?" Harry asked. "I know about the party and everything, but why the rush to get in?"

"Uhh…" Cho said nervously.

Mr. Chang placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and winked at Cho. She nodded and took Harry's hand, leading him to the rolling hills that the both of them had rolled down the previous summer. She stood by the edge of the hill gazing at the view, watching the wind ripple the grass. Harry stood by her side watching also. He smiled mischievously and his green eyes sparkled. He snuck up behind Cho and gave her a slight push down the hill. Cho grabbed Harry's left arm as she fell, pulling him down with her. The two of them rolled around in the grass, laughing and smiling. Harry gave Cho a simple peck on the lips and both of them heard Cho's father calling them inside. Both of them sat up and walked up the hill. Their clothes were stained with grass stains and dirt and their hair was filled with bits of dry grass and earth.

They walked in the door and Tai was sitting on a chair drinking a glass of milk and was in the process of swallowing, but spit out what was in his mouth onto the floor when he saw Harry and Cho.

"What happened to you two?" Tai asked, choking on his milk.

"We rolled down the hill…" Harry said.

"…Together." Cho finished.

"Ah…I see…well go and get yourselves cleaned up. Dress in semi-formal semi-casual clothes." Tai said as both went up the staircase.

"Are you going to clean that up or are you leaving it to soak into the carpet?" Cho asked, pointing at the milk on the floor.

"Oh…right…" Tai said.

He took out his wand and gave it a wave and the milk disappeared.

"Happy?" Tai asked.

"Yes." Cho replied.

She continued up the stairs, Harry following behind her. Cho reached her bedroom door, and Harry reached his. They opened their doors and quickly shut them as they both opened their boudoirs and pulled out some clothes. Harry grabbed a pair of slightly baggy jeans and a dark green sweater that Mrs. Weasley had knitted. He quickly put them on and opened his door to see Cho opening her door wearing a stunning outfit. She wore a black mini skirt and a beaded baby pink halter top. Her hair was in a messy bun secured by a chopstick and she topped it off with silver maple leaf earrings that sparkled in the light.

"Wow. Cho…you look…great." Harry said.

"Thanks. You look ravishing." Cho replied.

"You're welcome…" Harry said, taking Cho's arm leading her down the stairs.

Cho's earrings sparkled and she smiled broadly at Harry. The reached the first floor and saw Akira emerging from her bedroom wearing light blue jean shorts and a white t-shirt adorned with hearts. She saw Harry and Cho and stared for a second.

"You guys look great." Akira complemented.

"Thanks. You look good too." Harry and Cho responded.

"Hey! Move outta the way! Clear the stairway!" yelled Tai as he slid down the rail.

He wore some baggy khaki shorts and a collared black and gray plaid shirt. He reached the bottom of the rail, landing on Akira, Cho, and Harry. He helped Harry up and then Akira. When he reached for Cho's hand he exclaimed, "Who is this beautiful thing? Surely she can't be my sister! She doesn't look like Cho. What do you think Aki?"

"I dunno…she may be an imposter that kind of looks like our sister…" Akira replied, playing along.

"Oh shut up both of you. Of course it's me. Stop acting like idiots!" Cho said, annoyed.

"Yep, it's Cho alright. She's got the feisty attitude and sparkling personality…" Tai said.

"Oh quiet, you!" Cho snapped. "Come Harry, we're going outside."

Cho opened the back door, led him in the direction of the gazebo, and saw nothing but black darkness.

"There's nothing here…" Harry said.

Akira, Tai, and Cho were all grinning inside but on the outside, their expressions remained blank.

"I can't see anything…" Akira complained.

"There isn't a single thing here! Not anything!" Harry said, hearing his voice echo.

His eyes caught a glimmer of something shiny. At first he thought it was Cho's earrings shining from the moonlight, but then he saw a golden spark. Then more and more sparks. The sparks shot into the air and became fireworks. The thick red and gold smoke from the fireworks clouded Cho, Harry, Tai, and Akira's vision for a second. As the smoke cleared, Harry saw a long table lit with tiny candles floating in glass dishes filled with water. Food was laid out upon the table and each place was filled except for four open chairs.

"Happy Birthday Harry!" Cho, Akira, Tai, Hagrid, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Percy, Charlie, Bill, Arthur, Molly, Mr. Chang, Mrs. Chang, and Sirius all shouted.

"Wow. This is just, amazing. It's great! Really it is." Harry said, overwhelmed.

"Come Harry dear, have a seat." Mrs. Weasley said kindly.

Harry took a seat and Cho sat on his right side. Akira took a seat on Cho's right and Tai sat on Harry's left.

"You all did this for me?" Harry asked.

"But of course! The Dursleys couldn't even care less about your birthday!" exclaimed Fred.

"Well, thanks." Harry said.

"You're welcome." Cho said, smiling at Harry.

"Get the cake." Cho whispered to Akira.

Akira nodded and dashed around the corner. She returned holding a large cake. Tai was distracting Harry from seeing the cake by talking to him. Akira quickly set the cake in front of Cho and both she and her sister quickly lit the candles.

"What're you-" Harry started.

He saw the cake that was now in front of him and read the emerald green frosting that read 'Happy Birthday Harry! We send you happy wishes. Love, all of us.'

"Thank you. This is one of the best birthdays I've ever had…" Harry said.

"Make a wish." Cho said softly.

Harry closed his eyes as he thought to himself 'What should I wish for? I have nothing more that I want…I suppose I'll wish that Cho, her family, her friends, and I shall be protected from all evils.' He blew out the candles and everyone at the table clapped and cheered, shouting "Yay!"

"Time for some cake!" George said, licking his lips.

Cho stood up and cut the cake into pieces and gave everyone a piece. Everyone ate their piece of cake and shared happy chatter with one another. Soon it was time for Cho to give Harry his present.

"Hey Cho, where's your brother, Tai?" Harry asked, his eyes searching for him at the table.

"He's probably using the bathroom." Akira replied.

"Yeah…I'm sure he is. Aki, get that thing…" Cho said.

"What thing?" Akira asked.

"The paper!" Cho answered.

"Oh. Right." Akira said.

She went to the table and pulled out a small folded up piece of paper under her plate.

"Here Harry. Read this." Akira said, handing the paper to him.

He unfolded it and saw that it was a copy of the Daily Prophet that had been printed just that morning. On the front page was a picture of his godfather and a big headline reading 'Convicted Murderer Sirius Black Innocent and a Free Man.' Harry looked at his godfather and studied him. His robes were new and his hair was neatly cut and put into a small ponytail in the back.

"Y-you're free, Sirius?" Harry asked him.

Sirius nodded as a smile spread across his face.

"And that's only part of your birthday present from Cho." A familiar voice said.

The speaker stepped into the light. It was Tai. He was wearing long gold Quidditch robes bearing two scarlet "L's" on the right side of his chest. A huge orange cat adorned his back. Printed in neat scarlet lettering was "T. Chang"

"Tai, you play Quidditch?" Harry asked amazed.

"I sure do. I'm on an international team! The London Lynxes. I play Seeker, just like you." Tai answered.

"Cool! Are you captain?" Harry wondered.

"Sure am!" Tai said proudly.

"Ok, stop bragging about yourself and get your team ready!" Cho snapped impatiently.

"Yeah alright…" Tai replied, slightly annoyed.

He disappeared into the darkness and returned with six companions each of them with a broom.

"Harry, get your team together. We're gonna play some Quidditch!" Tai exclaimed.

Akira, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Cho didn't need Harry to tell them to get ready. They dashed off to get their brooms in a flash. Cho had gotten Harry's by use of the Summoning Charm and everyone was ready to play.

"Shouldn't we change into robes first?" Akira asked.

"Nah. Just go as you are." Tai said.

"Ok, whatever…" Akira replied.

They mounted their brooms, Tai waved his wand, and a Quidditch field appeared in the meadow.

Mr. Chang, Mrs. Chang, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Hagrid, Percy, Bill, Charlie, and Sirius were on a grassy slope waiting for them. Mr. Chang had a crate with the four Quidditch balls inside.

"Jane, keep score." Mr. Chang said, addressing his wife.

"Of course. Li, do you need help with that?" Jane asked her husband.

"No, I'm fine."

"Ok. If you say so…Arthur, would you like to referee?"

"No. I'm not as young as I used to be…Let Charlie do it." Arthur said, declining the polite offer.

"Charlie! Want to referee?" Li asked.

"Sure!" replied Charlie, grabbing his broom.

Charlie took the crate with the balls in it and placed in the center of the field. Fourteen brooms raced to the ground.

"Alright…Harry, Tai, shake hands." Charlie ordered.

Both shook hands.

"No mean tricks, Tai. Don't tenderize them, they're only kids. No hitting them with your bats or bludgers to the head. With that settled, let's play the game. Mount those brooms!" Charlie said, explaining the rules.

"Charlie, we aren't kids. We're only two years younger than Tai's entire team!" Cho said.

"Yes well, you do have one person who is three years younger than Tai and his team, am I not mistaken?" Charlie answered.

"True…never mind…let's play!" Cho said, finishing up so no one would have to wait too long for the game to begin.

Cho mounted her broom just as everyone else did too. Her miniskirt was quite annoying. She took out her wand and made her skirt longer so it reached a few inches past her knees. She edited the hem of the skirt to her liking by adding some wavy ruffles.

Charlie released the quaffle then the bludgers, and finally the snitch. Cho had caught the quaffle and was speeding away to the goal posts. A bludger zoomed by, making Cho drop the quaffle.

"Hey! Terri! Watch it! That's my sister!" Tai yelled.

"Sorry!" Terri yelled back.

Hermione caught the quaffle and weaved through Tai's team. Then a thought occurred to her.

"Tai!" She yelled. "Won't the muggles see us?"

"No. I made an anti-muggle barrier around the field so if a muggle were to see us, they'd only see us gazing at the stars and just muttering stuff…" Tai replied.

Hermione nodded and tossed the quaffle to Akira. She scored.

"Ten points for Harry's Team!" Jane announced.

Cho was speeding away to make another goal. Then she saw a glimmer of gold that was the snitch. She looked back at Harry. He had seen it and was flying towards her.

"Did you see it?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. You saw it too?" Cho answered.

Harry nodded and suddenly shot two feet into the air to avoid a bludger that had just passed.

"Twenty points to Tai!"

"Tai's in the lead!!!" Cho yelled.

"What do we do?" Hermione asked.

"Don't panic. Just score! I'll give you further instruction. Fred! George! Knock some of those chasers down!" Harry said.

The twins grinned evilly and just as two bludgers were headed for them both, they double-teamed and hit the bludgers back. One hit Terri and the other hit a chaser.

"Yes!" said Fred.

"Excellent!" said George.

Hermione, Cho, and Akira were scoring several goals now that two of the players were out of the game for the time being.

"Harry's team now takes the lead with fifty points against twenty."

Harry gave a thumbs up to Akira and high-fived Hermione and Cho. But their glory did not last long. Tai was barking orders that were inaudible to Harry and his team. Then Terri pelted a bludger right at Ron. Ron didn't see it and got hit and fell off his broom.

"Ron!" cried all the Weasleys, Harry, Cho, and Akira.

Charlie flew in and saved his youngest brother from a nasty fall.

"Ron, you alright?" Charlie asked him.

"Yeah…" said Ron.

"You stay out of the game for a little while ok? I'll have mum get you all fixed up."

"Ok."

Tai's chasers were taking advantage of the situation and scored six goals taking them into the lead. They scored two more goals giving them one hundred points versus Harry's team's fifty points.

"Now what?" Hermione asked.

"Hawkshead attack formation!" Harry replied.

Hermione signaled Akira and Cho over.

"Hawkshead!" Hermione said to them.

The three of them cut through Tai's team like swords. George pelted a bludger at a chaser with the quaffle. The chaser dropped it nicely into Hermione's outstretched hand. She took her aim and scored.

"100 to 60."

Meanwhile Harry was flying overhead looking for the snitch.

"Hi Harry! What you up to?" asked Tai.

"Nothing much…" Harry replied.

Then Harry pulled into a dive.

"I'm not falling for that Wronski Feint Harry!" Tai roared as Harry got further away from him.

Harry pulled out of the dive with a struggling, winged golden ball about the size of a walnut in his hand.

"Harry's team wins! Tai's team with one hundred points and Harry's team with two hundred and ten points!" Jane cheered.

Ron was already feeling better after his bludger injury. He decided to watch the game instead of going back in. He was jumping up and down from excitement. Cho, Akira, Hermione, Fred, and George all flew right towards Harry and hugged him and squeezed him until he thought he couldn't breathe.

"Could you let go? I…can't bre…breathe!" Harry choked.

Instantly everyone released him as he gasped for air.

"Thank you." Harry said.

"That was an easy win, Harry! The Slytherins are much worse." Fred said.

"You'll need new beaters for Gryffindor this year…We already graduated Hogwarts…" George said sadly.

"Just make sure you pick out some superb beaters like us!" Fred said.

"Don't worry I will…" Harry said reassuringly.

"Kids, it's nearly midnight! You've got to get to bed! Tai, I want this Quidditch field gone in five minutes!" Li yelled.

"Yes Dad!" said Cho, Akira, and Tai.

"Yes sir…" said Harry, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny.

"Molly, Arthur, you can stay too, or take your kids home." Jane said warmly.

"We'll take them home…" said Arthur. "The kids haven't exactly gotten a chance to get used to your place to kip for one night."

"Alright…there's floo powder in the parlor on the mantelpiece. Help yourselves." Jane said.

"Kids! We're going home!" said Molly.

"Yes Mum…" said the Weasley children.

"Charlie, Bill, Percy, you can apparatate home," Arthur said. "Your mother and I have to stay to escort Fred, George, Ron and Ginny home."

"We understand." The three of them said before they vanished.

The rest of the Weasleys headed inside and went home.

"Come Harry. You're staying with us." Li said.

Harry nodded and followed Cho, Akira, and Jane inside. Tai was making the Quidditch field disappear and once he finished, he ran inside after Harry, shutting the door and locking it magically.

Cho was already upstairs changing for bed. A knock sounded on her door. She hurriedly pulled on her white silk nightgown and answered it. It was Harry.

"Harry? What's the matter?" She asked.

"Oh nothing…just wanted to say goodnight…that's all…" Harry replied.

"I see…well, goodnight, Harry." Cho said.

"Yes. Goodnight Cho." Harry said.

Cho closed the door silently and Harry went into his room that he was staying in and changed into his pajamas and crawled into bed and took off his glasses, falling asleep quickly. Cho put her raven black hair into a long, thin braid and secured the end with a baby blue ribbon. She too, crawled into bed and fell asleep.
