A.N. : First of all thanks for all the views and to "riogetsuki" for the review.
To answer that: thank you for the hints, the is my first Story so I am still learning. Also the should be the last chapter needed to explain the circumstances.
Now for everyone else who might wondered about it: First I am sorry for not updating sooner/faster, but I don't have much time to write so I can't see it changing. Second I am asking to excuse any bad English or weird phrases because my first language was not English.
Now to the story
"Well", said Harry pointing at himself and than the sphere "currently we are inside your body and this is your magical core."
Cho looked shocked. "My magical core? That should be impossible! And even if it is like you say, why are we here?"
Harry motioned her to sit down. "It's a long story." he began " The first thing you have to know is that humans are made of three parts: the body, the mind and the soul. The important one in this situation is the soul. It contains your emotions and your magic."
Always the ravenclaw Cho quickly caught on and said:" That doesn't explain why you are here. I saw you laying in the hospital wing just before I fall asleep."
Shaking his head her companion replied:" You saw my body and my mind. I am really only my soul. And the answer to your other question is rather simple, if you know how the Killing Curse works."
At the mention of that curse Cho's eyes started to tear up because it reminded her of how close Harry came to die. She throw herself into Harry's arms and began to cry. Although a surprised Harry circled her with his arms, sat down and made soft, soothing noises. After she came down Cho stayed in his hug and laid her head on Harry's chest. Looking upwards to him she saw a small smile and asked him with her eyes to continue the explanation.
After drawing breath Harry started to explain: "The curse kills you because it rips your soul out of your body and damages it beyond repair. That's also the reason that the Killing Curse leaves no trace on the body as the soul is not something physical. After that the body just shuts down, like you see in victims of the dementor's kiss, just very fast."
"But why is your soul inside me? I mean you looked pretty dead, so shouldn't it be on it's way to heaven or whatever?" asked Cho impatiently.
"You mean beside me wanting to be inside you very much? " , Harry chuckled and, after seeing Cho blush, continued:" The reason is that you did essentially the same as a dementor does; using your mouth to suck my soul out of my body. That does not kill because it is done without damaging the soul. Also I wasn't hit by the Killing Curse as you could see because I didn't die instantly. But my body was damaged badly and that would have made my soul leave to ascend what you stopped by transferring it into your undamaged body. And " he raised his hand to stop her interruption "you could now give it back to revive me."
Hearing this Cho brightened and seemed to vibrate with energy. "So how do we do this? And why could I even do it?" she asked inquisitively.
"The answer to your first question is easy: you just have to start giving me a kiss again and then think really hard about transferring the soul." Both of them blushed after this revelation. "For the second answer I see two possibilities. Either you have a dementor somewhere I your bloodline; or" Harry hurried to continue after seeing her glare " we have a soulbound."
Cho looked startled but collected herself quickly. She stood up, turned around and waved a goodbye as she felt herself waking up.
After opening her eyes Cho immediately tried to stand up from her bed. That action of course brought Madam Pomfrey into play who asked in a worried tone:" Miss Chang why are you already up again?"
" Because I know how to heal Harry." answered the chinese girl and continued making her way to the boy in question. A moment later she added: "Are his injuries healed?"
" Of course thy are." huffed Pomfrey "He seems to be healthy as rain but doesn't wake up and I don't know why."
When she arrived Cho set down on Harry's bed and looked at his face. It seemed so peaceful. She closed the gap between their faces and, after making contact, started thinking about giving his soul back. Madam Pomfrey went to interrupt her but stopped when she saw the small flash of silver light. Shortly after it ended Cho got up and both could see that Harry had begun breathing deep and regular. Satisfied with the result Cho went back to her own bed.
"By the way," she asked after lying down "how is Luna? I didn't see her."
Madam Pomfrey scowled but answered non the less:" Miss Lovegood faked her flu. When I confronted her about it she only said that a "Hummdinger", what ever that is, told her that you would be more useful for the lot of you."
"Well, it looks like she wasn't far off" countered Cho and closed her eyes with a fond smile.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When Cho woke up at the next morning she looked first towards Harry's bed and saw that he wasn't even in there anymore but sat on a chair next to her. Seeing she was awake he smiled, embraced her and whispered: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Cho answered. After letting each other go she said:" I need to talk to you."
"Then let's go somewhere more comfortable, like the Room of Requirement." Harry replied. They said goodbye to Madam Pomfrey and Hermione, who seemed a little sad to be still confined in the hospital wing, and started making their way to the seventh floor. As they turned around a corner on the sixth floor there suddenly was a roadblock the two of them bumped into which at second glance revealed to be their three non-hospitalized friends.
After helping Cho and Harry stand up, a beaming Ginny asked:" Hey you two, you're out already? We just started to get down to visit you."
"Yes we are" answered Harry "and we were on our way to the RoR."
"Then let's go all together" Neville suggested.
After they all agreed the rest of the time went pretty fast and they were all sitting on nice armchairs. Between them stood a small table with some bottles of butterbeer, courtesy of Dobby, and a warm fire burned in the fireplace on the far wall.
With one bottle in her hand Cho turned to Harry and said :" I'd like to talk now but with a little more privacy."
Harry nodded, stood up and hold out his hand to her with the intention to help her. Cho took the hand and looked pleased as another door plopped quietly into existence.
"And we have to have an important talk too." Ginny said abruptly once Cho and Harry had vanished, while glaring at her brother. Without hesitation she dragged him through a third door. In the meanwhile Neville had a bemused look but let all thoughts go after getting the room to create some books about herbology.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When they came into the new room Cho and Harry found two chairs facing each other. After sitting down Cho started:" Do you remember our encounter near christmas?"
Harry remembered it indeed.
The last DA-meeting before christmas had just ended and Harry was staying back to remove some of the decorations when he heard s noise behind him. Turning around he saw Cho Chang, the girl he had a crush on since his third year, standing there tear-eyed. Blushing he asked:" H-Hey Cho, w-w-what are you d-doing here?"
"Oh Harry I didn't see you." she answered and sighed "I was just thinking about everything you teached us and maybe if Cedric had known..."
"He did know these things." Harry replied. After a short pause he continued:" If Voldemort wants to kill you nothing of this would help you."
"But you did, Harry! Not only once but at least twice." Cho said with a determined glint in her eyes. It lasted only a few seconds before there were tears in her eyes again. She grabbed Harry's shoulders and whispered:" That means we should be able to do so too. And you are helping us with it. It's just sometimes that I remember how both you and Cedric were there and it always makes me so sad."
"Try to remember all the good times, that will help." Harry suggested while awkwardly patting her back. By now his head was scarlet red because she laid hers on his shoulder to cry.
"Yes, the good times." Cho murmured. She shoot Harry a strange glance, than closed her eyes and slowly started closing the gaps between their faces.
Harry's mid was a whirlwind. Cho Chang was about to kiss him; an event he dreamt about for almost two years now. But on the other hand he know and felt that it was not right. He sighed and did something he would surly regret later: he grabbed hold of her chin, which felt very nice by the way, and sad quietly:" Stop."
Cho opened her eyes and wanted to interrupt him when he spoke again: "You don't really want to do this. You want to kiss Cedric again, don't you?"
Finally breaking down in tears Cho replied:" Yes I do, but I also kinda like you so I want to kiss you too and now I'm so confused and..." She now just held on to Harry, her speech becoming incomprehensible because of her excessive sobbing.
After Cho had calmed down, Harry gave following suggestion:" If you really like me like that we can start to go out with each other, because I like you to. And at the of the school year, if you still want to kiss by then, we do that."
After disentangling from him Cho agreed. Then she went on her way, of course not without saying good-bye.
Shaking himself out of this memory Harry answered:" I do. Why are you asking?"
Cho replied with a small smirk:" Well your "end-of-the-year-adventure" happened so we reached the end of our agreement. And I still want to."
After some seconds the light of recognition shined from Harry's eyes and his face went red. He swallowed nervously and asked: "Are you sure?" After she nodded he briefly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When they opened again it looked like there was a fire burning behind them.
Standing up Harry closed the distance between the two of them and pulled Cho out of her chair. He laid his hands on the sides of her face and threw a short glance into her eyes. Cho gave a quick nod and than saw his face lowering towards her. At the last moment both closed their eyes. Instinctively she wrapped her arms around him to press the closer together.
When their lips touched each other's Cho felt like seeing stars and melting into a puddle. Unknowingly she repeated Harry's thoughts exactly. If they had had their eyes open, they would have seen a big sliver flash of light.
They only separated when the need to breath won over the wish to continue kissing. Panting they looked into each other's eyes and Cho said: "I love you."
Harry smiled, gave her another short kiss and said "I love you, too."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few minutes after everyone else went away Neville saw the door of the RoR opening and Luna coming in. After a quick hello from both she sat down next to him, pulled out the newest edition of the quibbler and started to read. Some seconds later the second door opened and Harry came out with Cho holding his hand, both with wide smiles and red faces.
Neville smiled towards them and asked : "Hey you two, you've finally done it?"
Surprisingly it was Luna who answered in a perfectly calm voice: "Of course they did, if you mean kissing." then she looked up and continued: " Because if you mean "shagging like wild rabbits in heat " I would hope for them that they're not already finished."
Neville gaped at her in shock while Harry and Cho got spectacular blushes. If it weren't for it's creaking nobody would have registered the opening of the third door. Swiveling their heads towards it the four friends saw Ron and Ginny coming out of their room - also holding hands!
Drawing his eyebrow up Harry asked: "When and how did that happen?"
The two redheads became redfaces and, after a moment to collect herself, Ginny began to explain.
The room Ginny and Ron entered had one chair in it, so the redheaded girl immediately pushed her brother into it and stood in front of him with an angry face.
"Ronald Weasley, you will stop trying to scare away all of my dates. What do you have against me going out with somebody?" Ginny asked forcefully.
Ron mumbled something to himself and then spoke up: "These guys only want to use you. They are not right for you."
"Use me?" asked Ginny with a drawn-up eyebrow. "Well if you think so, than who is "someone who is right for me" ?"
He said something quietly again. When she started glaring at him, Ron talked out loud:" Someone who knows you long enough so he knows the real you and has something in common with you so you can talk and do things together."
Ginny snorted. That was so like Ron: to give stereotypical advice you could find in any tabloid. Then she replied:" Of all the guys I know there would be exactly one to fit that description. Well really two but you wouldn't mean the second one." Ginny said and continued: "And that one would be Harry."
Risking a chance to glance at her bothers face she saw a pained look that made her rethink. With a slightly panicked voice she said: "Ron you don't want to say what I think you want to say, do you?"
His hanging head told her everything she needed to know. Ginny kneeled down, took his face in her hands so he had to look at her and asked:" Are you sure you want to ... go this way?"
Ron as prepared for many things like getting screamed at or slapped. What he didn't plan for was Ginny soft, even hopeful voice. After a moment to study her face he said:" Yes Ginny. I want to do that very much."
He saw that she seemed to light up at this words and replied:" Than I will go with you."
Slowly They moved their faces closer until they touched.
The four other friends were a little shocked. Harry composed himself and said :" If that is what you both want I am happy for you." Neville and Cho were nodding at that while Luna just smiled.
After Ginny and Ron sat down on a new couch Luna spoke up:" So are you two going to shag like wild rabbits in heat now?"
The reactions to that varied: Neville, Cho and Harry started to laugh very hard while Ron mimed a fish. Ginny got a deep blush but answered:" Well I don't think we'll go quite that far right know." After that proclamation everyone laughed even harder.
Little did those six know that the coming days would not be nearly as happy.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lord Voldemort sat on his throne-like chair with Nagini lying on the armrest. On the other side stood a small table with several potion bottles he had to drink because of whatever Potter did to him. It seemed he had again underestimated the brat.
He looked around saw his loyal servant and potion brewer standing in the shadows. Resolving to solve the "Potter-Problem" he called him to his side.
"Severus " Voldemort begun "I seem to need more information about Potter. You will bring me everything you can find about the six students who were at the ministry."
Severus Snape bowed low and answered:" Of course my lord." Than stood up and walked out of the room.
When he had almost reached the door Voldemort interrupted him:" I want objective information, Severus. If I find any of your grudge coloring it I will be most displeased."
Snape just nodded and went on his way.
