Harry stared at Cho.
"I'm sorry." he said, and got to his feet.
"I don't like you. Not that way." he murmured.
"You did like me in fourth year, or you wouldn'tve asked me to the Yule Ball. And you liked me in fifth year too." Cho reminded.
"That was two years ago. My feelings have changed. I'm sorry, Cho." he answered.
"It's not like you're taken or anything. Ginny doesn't even like you anymore, I was talking to her at the wedding. Her words were: 'There's no spark anymore. We are only continuing it because we have to.' Doesn't look like she's too into you." Cho said coolly.
"That's nonsense, Cho. Ginny would'nt say that." Harry snapped.
"Ask her. Ask her if she still likes you, I bet she'll say no." Cho insisted.
"Last time I went out with you you weren't in love with me. You were obviously still in love with Cedric." Harry told her.
"I'm over Cedric, Harry! Sure I still miss him but I'm ready to move on." Cho promised.
Harry stepped forward.
CHO'S POV FOR A FEW LINES
He stared at me with those spectacular green eyes of his.
It all happened so quick. We stepped into eachother's arms, as if soaking up eachother's warmth. I rested my head on his shoulder, and felt his steady heartbeat right next to mine. Then we looked at one another and smiled. His gorgeous red lips grazed my neck then came to rest on my own lips.
It was the most romantic kiss of my life. Sure, the place was a bit off what I dreamed about (a candelit dinner or something like that) but he was so romantic the way he embraced me.
When it ended, a few minutes later, we just stared at eachother.
NORMAL POV
Harry sighed. He was tempted by Cho, and her kiss made him feel, in one word; high. But what about Ginny?
"Stuff Ginny, Harry. We are meant to be." Cho whispered, as if reading his mind.
Harry smiled weakly.
"No. I can't do this to Ginny." he said after a few seconds.
"Harry, wait up." Cho called as Harry ran across the field, and under the fence.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Harry arrived at The Burrow a few seconds later.
Ron was waiting for him.
"Hey, mate, we need to talk." he said seriously.
"It's okay, I'm going to go apologise to Mione now." he insisted.
"Well, it's too late. She's already gone." Ron answered.
"Gone? Gone where?" Harry demanded.
"Home. She was upset about the way you talked to her." he told Harry.
"Oh God, where does she live I'm going there now." Harry demanded.
"I dunno, and I don't think she's ready to talk to you anyway." Ron reminded.
Harry rushed to his and Ron's bedroom and called Hedwig down.
Scribbling a letter quickly, he tied it to Hedwig's foot.
"Take it to Hermione, okay?"
The letter read: Hey Hermione it's Harry. I'm really sorry about what I said. Please come back to The Burrow, or at least reply. Lots of love always, Harry.
About half an hour later, Hedwig returned with Hermione's reply.
Dear Harry, I do not want to come back just yet. I want to spend some time with my parents before I go and risk my life with you and Ron. I hope you understand and I will be back in a week or two. See you later, Hermione. P.S: Why are you acting so mean lately? P.P.S: How did it go with Cho? P.P.P.S: YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY FORGIVEN YET!
"Oh, yeah, Harry I meant to ask the same thing. How did you and Cho go?" Ron asked.
"She kissed me." Harry snapped. "And I rejected her. Happy?"
"Ohhhh."
Harry ignored Ron and spent quite a while on his next letter.
It said: Dear Mione, of course I understand. Remember you are my best friend forever and I would never do anything to ruin our friendship. I was just tired today and I'm really sorry that I took it out on you. Cho and I didn't actually have much fun. Well we did to start with, we got some stuff from Diagon Alley, then headed to the Three Broomsticks for a Butterbeer. Then we got some stuff from Honeydukes and had a kind of picnic thing near the Shrieking Shack. But then she kissed me and I kissed back for a while but then I realised it was wrong. So then I ran away from her. I was such a coward. Anyway I was only 'acting mean lately' because I've had heaps on my mind. Please right back. Love From Harry
The letters exchanged between the two in the next few hours were:
Dear Harry, that sucks about you and Cho. I know you want to be friends with her, and I know it must be hard for you. That is not a proper reason why you are acting the way you are. It is ruining everyone's life so it needs to stop please tell me what is wrong in your life. You say I am one of your best friends but if that's true you have to let me help you. I will keep any secrets you may tell me, and I will support you. First off, tell me about you and Belle. What is so bad about her? If you don't answer correctly don't bother sending me any more owls for the time being.
Dear Hermione, there is something going on in my life. I want to tell you but I really can't. I know you may not understand why I can't tell you, but there is a huge thing going on in my life and I can't tell you just yet.
Dear Harry, I promise I will not tell anyone. Please let me know, you are my best friend and I love you to death, you can trust me. Tell me, love Hermione.
Dear Hermione, I want to tell you, but it will just hurt everyone in my life. Sorry.
Dear Harry, if you are not going to tell me, then that's your problem. Leave me alone. Apologise to Belle though and I will think about talking to you more. From Hermione.
Dear Hermione, if you must know, and this may come as a huge surprise. I am a... father.
