I realize I said this was based off MOVIE 5 but then I changed it to BOOK 5. So it's no longer a movieverse fic. Now, read & review. And don't forget to enjoy.

Thanks sooo much to Avantarfanx2 for reviewing. And to answer your question. Yes, this story isn't over yet. I got five chapters finished and I have plans for many more. Depending on how I end things, there could be a sequel.

Remember, the more reviews, the faster the update.

Chapter Two

Harry and Cho stayed outside for hours. They settled themselves on the ground, both leaning against the wall, and they simply talked, both of them, happy to finally let everything off their chest and know that their words would not be judged. Harry told her about Sirius's death, including specifics, and at some point, he broke down again, but she quickly had her arms around him once more. Cho had changed, he'd observed. She wasn't this confused, young girl that she used to be. She seemed to have her emotions under complete control. She told him about how her parents were in a nasty divorce, which was her reason for not going home for the holidays. She explained how she'd always felt bad about they way things ended between them, and they seemed to be on pretty steady ground by the time they went inside for dinner.

"You know Harry," Cho said, as they sat down at one of the long empty tables in the great hall, "You aren't completely alone, I mean, you have all of us. Well, in a couple of weeks anyway. And for now, you have me."

"Cho," Harry said, "I'm sorry that I was such a jerk last year."

"Please," she said, "You lost your godfather. You didn't have time for silly girls still pinning over their last boyfriends. But for the record, I really did like you."

"The feeling was mutual," Harry said, smiling for the first time in many, many months. "Is." Cho didn't say anything; she just blushed and began eating the meal that had suddenly appeared in front of them. A few minutes later, Harry said quietly, "You know, a very smart person once told me that the things we lose always come back to us."

"You didn't lose me, Harry," Cho said, "And you won't. We can both be emotionally screwed together, deal?"

"Deal," Harry smiled, again. What was it about her that had him smiling all of the sudden? Smiling, and laughing and…having fun.

"You know, another way to think about your loss, really sorry to keep bringing it up, is that Sirius, as much as he loved you, wouldn't want you spending your whole life missing him. He'd want you to live. I never knew him, but I've heard things. What's the point of life if you don't keep moving?"

"How could I ever have doubted you?" Harry asked.

"Emotions do strange things to us," Cho shrugged. "Don't worry about it. I'm just glad to see your smile again. I missed it. And you."

"I've been living in the past for a long while. I think it's time to…move on. Put everything behind me," Harry said.

"I think that's a good idea," Cho said.

"I've got a couple of those," Harry whispered, leaning in and capturing her lips with his own.

I realize the transformation between "Depressed" and "Happy" is happening quickly, but I will talk about it more next chapter. Sorry, if they're short. And, time for a poll:

Do you prefer a story to end happily or sadly?
