Chapter Three: A New Home

Harry had never felt so free, so happy; well he had when he won the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor. But he had never thought he'd feel that way again. But as he rode on that broom to Cho's home, all his worries were left behind. Just like Privet Drive. Cho's soft hair whipped in the wind, and her eyes shone with mischief. Around them beautiful birds of many colors soared about them. Harry felt as if he were living a dream. His dream-filled thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Cho's voice shouting over the high wind.

"We're almost there!" she shouted over her shoulder to Harry.

"Ok!" Harry shouted back.

Then the broom was dropping lower and lower. They entered a meadow of lilies and daisies and straight ahead was a hill and on top of the hill was a beautiful three-story house. It had a cobblestone path that led to the front door. Surround the house were low green hedges and right in the middle was a shiny silver gate. The broom began to slow down and then it stopped. Harry, Cho, and Mr. Chang dismounted the broom and put it in a nearby shed.

"Well, here we are!" Cho said grandly. "Welcome to my home."

"It's beautiful, Cho!" Harry exclaimed.

"I'll take your trunk upstairs. I'll get your owl's cage too. You and Cho can go and have fun. Go exploring or something of the sort. Your friends Ronald and Hermione should be arriving within the hour." Mr. Chang said to the two of them.

"I'll show you the meadow, the maze, the gazebo, the garden, everything!" Cho said excitedly.

"Sounds fun!" Harry said amazed at his own curiosity and sense of exploration.

Cho took Harry's hand and they went to one of the hillsides and Cho pushed Harry of the edge. Harry began to roll down the hill.

"Hey! Why'd………you………do………that………for?" he shouted as he rolled.

Cho leapt off the edge of the hill and she too began to roll down the hill as well.

"For………fun!" she said while rolling.

Harry reached the bottom of the hill and he brushed away grass from his hair and clothes. Then Cho had reached the bottom and she lightly brushed away the grass from her hair. She looked up at him with her dazzling eyes and she smiled.

"Let's go see the meadow first! Then we'll see the garden and then the maze, then everything else!" Cho said.

"Do you always push guests off the hill and have them roll down?" Harry asked.

"No. Actually, I never do. But you're a special guest and I want you to have fun, so I thought it'd be a good idea since I roll down the hill all the time and I have a great time," Cho answered. "Now let's go see the meadow!"

Harry followed Cho as she ran as fast she could. Harry began to run after her and easily caught up with her and Cho began to cartwheel about as she ran. Cho laughed with utter joy and she was having quite a bit of fun.

"This is the meadow." She said to Harry.

"It's rather lovely." Harry said.

"To the garden then?" Cho asked.

"Alright." Harry said.

They went to the garden and Harry saw the most beautiful thing in the world (with the exception of Cho, perhaps…). He entered the garden and saw fairies fluttering about with butterflies and giant red mushrooms big enough to sit on. There were flowers of all varieties surrounding him. There was a small pond with water lilies and lily pads with cattails bordering the bed of the pond.

"This way, to the maze!" Cho whispered.

Harry nodded and simply followed Cho into the maze. Fairies happened to be around and they buzzed throughout the maze. Several fairy homes were scattered in the ivy-covered walls. It gave the maze an exotic look. Harry walked through the grassy maze floor and looked all around in amazement. Cho began to giggle and then she took off at a run, purposely leaving her wand behind and ran out of sight. Harry was just about to think that he was lost, when he realized that Cho had left her wand for a certain purpose. Then it came to him. He scooped up Cho's wand and very glad that Hermione taught him this spell last year, he held the wand in his palm.

"Point Me." He said.

The wand instantly spun around and pointed northwest and Harry turned left then went straight. Within half an hour Harry had found his way out of the maze and waiting for him at the end of it was Cho. It was sunset and Cho looked even more beautiful than ever, she seemed to glow in the fading light of the sun. She looked up at Harry and looked straight into his eyes and grinned.

"I was wondering where you were. I was just about to go and get you. But now that you've arrived, we can go to the gazebo. Then we will have to return to my home. I'm sure that Hermione and Ron have already arrived. And there are a few that I would wish that you meet…" Cho said.

"Alright then, let's go to the gazebo. I would love to see it." Harry told Cho.

Cho had motioned her hand for Harry to follow. Harry followed and walked through a grove of trees. Their leaves turning shades of red, orange, yellow, and gold. Cho waited for Harry about two feet ahead and once again, took his hand. Cho led Harry to the gazebo, and just like all the other wondrous places Cho had taken him, Harry was just as utterly speechless as he was with all the rest. The gazebo had a classy feel to it, but also an odd, mystical feeling about it. As Harry looked all around, he could've sworn he heard faint music playing. Harry then just remembered something. He hadn't given Cho her wand back since he'd gotten out of the maze.

"Uh Cho, I kind of forgot to give you something…your wand. You know how in the maze, how you left it there?" Harry said uncertainly.

"Yes, I remember." Cho said with a light pink tint creeping over her face.

"Well I…uh…wanted to give it back." Harry said even more uncertainly.

Harry held out Cho's wand in his hand and Cho walked up and outstretched her hand. Harry placed Cho's wand in her hand.

"Um…Thanks Harry…" Cho said nervously.

"No problem…" Harry tried to reply as casual as possible.

"Should we go back to my house now? I know a shortcut." Cho told him changing the subject.

"Ok, sure." Harry said.

Cho grasped Harry's hand once again and half-pulled, half-ran him back to her home.
