My Blonde-haired Soldier
By Otakuprincess
Author's Note: Well, I have a good idea for the Fred/George/Cho problem. Cho will be working at Hogwarts as a student teacher in McGonagall's Transformation class (or maybe Charms let me know what u think). Fred and George will be known to others as being at Hogwarts to advertise their new joke shop (Dumbledore thinks it's a wonderful idea, being the open-minded joker he is). However, secretly, Fred and George will be studying Defense Against the Dark Arts, Occlumency, and Potions. I might add something else to the list if u like. Hope you like this idea. As soon as I finish ch 5, im going to begin a preface that lets you know Cho, George, and fred's reasons for being at Hogwarts. I think this'll solve the problem. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
Harry looked out across the countryside from his dormitory window. He was so confused. Sirius had been spotted near Hogwarts, and Harry's world had been turned upside down. His godfather could be alive, he could have found a way out of that alternate universe of death. But what if it was Voldemort's trick? Harry would walk right into it, and his life could be over in a split second. Sirius...
"Harry? Harry, are you in here?" Harry whirled around to see Cho standing in front of him.
"How...how did you get in?" Harry asked, stuttering.
"Well, girls can come into the boy's dormitory. Something about girls being more trustworthy. And, well, I struck a deal with the Fat Lady to get into the common room. I just told her what happened, and she let me in. Quite generous, really."
Harry nodded, then turned back to the window. "Harry, please tell me what's wrong. I heard, but didn't really understand." Harry opened his mouth, about to say that he really couldn't tell her, when Cho grabbed his hand. "Listen, Harry, you can tell me. I didn't give up the DA, did I?"
Harry looked up and smiled. "You'll ever believe me."
"Of course I will!" Cho said. "I believed you about Voldemort, I believed you about Dumbeldore, I believed you about Cedric!"
Expecting Cho to begin crying again over Cedric, Harry cut in. "Of course, I know you believed me. I guess I can tell you." Harry sat down and began to tell Cho about Sirius, from the very beginning. Harry explained to her what happened in the Shrieking Shack 3rd year, how Sirius was Harry's godfather and he hadn't really killed all of those people, how it was Pettigrew who did it all. He paused as Neville popped into the common room ("Oh, hi, Cho, how did you get in here?") and continued when the boy had left. Cho listened intently until Harry began to stutter uncontrollably.
"Harry? Harry, are you ok?" Cho asked, still worried.
"Yeah..I, never mind. Anyway, he fell through that cursed curtain. If I had used the mirror, not listened to Kreacher...even maybe just not had that dream. He could still be alive...."
"But, the Prophet said he'd been seen. Do you think?"
"I don't know." Harry answered truthfully. "I want it to be him, but Hermione's sure it's a trap. That's why I screamed at her back there in the Great Hall."
"Oh, it's ok Harry. I'll support you, whatever happens. It may seem weird hearing that from a student teacher..." Cho said. She wished she and Harry had been in the same year. It would be so much easier for both of them.
"It's fine. Im just glad you're still here at Hogwarts. I mean...." Harry blushed, turning away from Cho once more. He couldn't believe he was talking to her like this, it was so....casual. He decided it was probably a good thing, but still felt very awkward. And yet, it was better than sitting there saying nothing.
"Cho..." Harry didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. Cho put her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.
"You're so strong to keep all of this inside you." Cho commented. "But I'm glad you told me about your godfather. He sounds like a very good man." Harry nodded, and returned Cho's kiss. Suddenly, the door to the dormitory flung wide open. Professor McGonagall stood in the threshold.

Hermione sighed. She wished Harry wouldn't get so worked up, but it really was his fault. I mean, he had to be more careful, with Voldemort on the loose. He couldn't keep parading around, like he was invincible or something. Hermione was so worried he would be gravely hurt this year. She just had a feeling....
"Oy, Hermione, wake up!"
Hermione realized that everyone had cleared out of the Great Hall. Only she, Ron, and Ginny were left under the sunny ceiling.
"Um, sorry. I was just thinking about something. Why don't we go out to the lake for the afternoon? Im sure there will be a nice breeze, and the sun's out and everything." Hermone said.
"Well, sure. But shouldn't we go and find Harry first? He must be in the common room or somewhere." Ron protested.
"Well, you can go on if you want. I need to talk to Ginny about something, anyway." Hermione retorted. She really didn't feel like talking to Harry right now. "Come on, Ginny." She grabbed Ginny's arm and walked her out of the hall.
"Hermione, what is with you?" Ginny asked, once they were outside. "You could have at least gone to speak with Harry. He was mad at you for a reason, you know."
"Yeah? Well I'm not changing my opinion just because he went off to cry about it. Anyway, I had something to ask you. Come on, sit down!" Hermione sat down, leaning against the stone wall. Ginny followed suit. "So," Hermione began, "Are you going to ask Harry to the graduation ball?"
"No, of course not. Guys ask girls, or at least usually." Ginny said.
"But, I thought you liked him? You should go for it anyway." Hermione said, surprised.
"Of course I do, just not that way anymore. He already asked Cho, and she accepted. He told me at lunch. Anyway, I'm going with someone else." Ginny replied softly.
"WHAT?! Hermione shrieked. Who is it, that boy Michael whats his name? Tell me!"
"No, its not Michael. You would just laugh at me if I told you. Anyway, he might already be going with someone else. And...oh." Ginny turned red in the face. She had forgotten that Draco would not be here all year. He wouldn't be there for graduation...
"Never mind, Hermione. I forgot, he's leaving before graduation. Forget I said a thing."
"Ginny! I don't care if he's going to be here or not, just tell me who he is! He must be someone special if you care for him that much."
"It's..it's..Draco." Ginny blushed, ready for Hermione to let loose on her.
"Draco? Really? Aww, that's so sweet of you, Ginny." Ginny didn't know if she'd heard correctly. Did Mione just say it was sweet?
"Um...Hermione? Are you ok?" Ginny asked.
"Of course, why wouldn't I be?"
"I expected you to yell at me for being with Draco." Ginny said in a low voice.
"Well, I do think he's a git, but he's had some rough times. I know that he's working for the Order now, so he can't be too bad, right? Anyway, if you like him, then he must be getting better. Eh?"
Ginny smiled. Hermione was such a good friend, someone who could always pull her through.
"Thanks, Hermione."
