Oh my god! I'm SO sorry for this horrible wait! I didn't get in inspiration, but I figured I had to write something and ended up writing something very important. And how fun would it be if it wasn't a cliffhanger? None at all. Reviews please!

Chapter Eight

The next few days passed much the same. Harry and Cho spent as much time as they could manage together, though homework was starting to pile up more, especially for Cho, being that it was her last year. Hermione still tried to get Ron to help with the party, which they'd decided to have at Hagrid's, but stubborn as ever, Ron just stalked off every time Cho was mentioned.

Soon, the weekend had arrived, and they were off to Hogsmede. Ron had decided to hang out with Ginny and her friends, while Harry did his best to entertain Cho, so Hermione could secretly buy everything they needed.

"I'm going to go use the Lu', ok Harry?" Cho said, walking off.

"I've gotten everything! Food, decorations, and I've got my gift. You just need to go find something," Hermione quickly whispered. "I'll entertain her, you go."

Harry sped off, down the street, in search of the perfect gift. He noticed a jewelry store just down the way that must have just been put in. He walked faster.

"Where are we going?" Cho asked, again.

"I told you, you'll find out soon," Harry said.

"I can't see a thing!" Cho said, trying to take off the blindfold Harry'd put on her.

"No!" Harry grabbed her hands and held them down.

"I'm going to fall, and die," Cho smiled. "On my so-called-birthday."

"Here we are," Harry pulled it off.

"Hagrid's hut?" Cho asked.

"Go inside!" Harry said.

"Shouldn't we knock?" Cho asked. Harry opened the door and gently pushed her in.

"Surprise!" Hermione and Hagrid yelled in unison. The hut was decorated in pink balloons, streamers, and banners. And there were three presents sitting next to a giant birthday cake.

"Now we couldn't get you much," Hermione said.

"Harry," Cho looked at him, blankly.

"Try the cake, it's good," Harry smiled, pushing her forth.

"Open mine first!" Hermione shoved her gift into Cho's arms and settled her onto the couch.

The History of Quidditch. "Thanks, Hermione, I've been wanting to read this book," Cho smiled.

"Mine next!" Hagrid pushed a larger gift onto her lap.

Cho hesitantly unwrapped the round gift. It was an egg of some sort. She starred inquiringly at Hagrid.

"It's a dragon's egg!" he said excitedly.

"Great. Always wanted one of these," Cho said, trying to sound excited as best she could.

Hagrid laughed, "Want me to take care of it for ye?"

"Yes, thanks," Cho handed it to him quickly. Cho then picked up the tiny box sitting on the table, Harry's gift.

She opened it, and gasped. There was nothing in it.

"Harry?" she asked, "Forget something?" She smiled.

"No," he said seriously. "Cho. You are the only person who could make me smile, could bring me out of that horrible funk I was in. I love you." He bent down on one knee, holding up a small diamond ring. "It cost me almost all of my savings, but you're worth it.

Cho Chang, will you marry me?"
