A/N:� First, SoftObsidian74, glad
to see you�re still out there!lol

Jake, first, thanks for the review.�
Second, I so very much want to agree with you on the Harry and Cho souls
point.� Even without this story, I think
it�s evident in Order that they are alike in that way.� She was hurting over her lost of Cedric, he
was hurting for many reasons, but witnessing and blaming himself for the lost
of Cedric as well.� Her reaction was
uncontrollable tears in that story, while his was immense anger and yelling at
his friends.� Not to mention their
loyalties to their sneaky (much love to Hermione, don�t get me wrong) things their
friends did.� Neither had time to heal
their souls properly; Cho went straight for Harry, not wanting to waste any
time, but she wasn�t ready.� Harry leads
the life of Harry Potter and soon lost Sirius in that same year.� Which brings us to this
story where their mangled souls had not a chance in Hell to heal from what
Harry has done, and what they are and will do to each other.� Its get twisted in my story because Cho�s
pain is caused and healed by Harry.� Her
soul is healing OVER the hurt, not healing the hurt itself.� It�s like self-medicating with drugs or alcohol.� And I�ll stop now before I reveal what�s to
come in future chapters!LOL� Thanks again!

Chapter 20 - Happy

�I�ll tell him tonight,� Cho said
to her invisible self as she walked toward the Infirmary ten minutes before
Madam Pomfrey would normally shove the last visitor out.� �He�s bed-ridden for Merlin�s sake, he can�t
get too upset.� Besides, I�ll make it up
to him every day until then!� she added mischievously to herself.

Though she smiled on her walk, Cho
had argued with herself about going to see Harry.� The Ravenclaw knew she couldn�t simply just
walk in the hospital wing during regular visiting hours and ask Ginny to make
room on his bed so that she may sit with Harry too.� She also knew that she shouldn�t and wouldn�t
sneak in again in the middle of the night, mostly because Harry would find away
to keep her there all night and Cho wouldn�t be able to resist.�

The latter was also her third
reason for not wanting to go.� The seventh
year couldn�t resist the urge to simply see her assailant; she wouldn�t be able
to resist his good arm around her holding her close.� She wouldn�t be able to resist his lips
planting soft kisses on her neck, cheek, then��
Though she was ignoring the sick pocket in her stomach, Cho knew that
perhaps she was motivated for reasons other then the betterment of her sexual
partner.

Alright then, Cho, stay invisible and don�t reveal yourself.� Just check to see that he�s alright, and then
leave, she thought to herself as she stood outside the hospital wing doors.

Right, because if he sees me, he�ll touch me and�

You won�t leave anytime soon.

The invisible seventh year stepped
quietly into the Infirmary, going undetected by Madam Pomfrey sitting in her
office, watching the clock.� Instead of
going straight down the center aisle of beds, Cho decided to walk behind the
beds on the side that Harry�s bed and dividers were.� Getting closer, she could hear Ginny
giggling, Ron joking, and Hermione scolding.

�Fang wasn�t easy to feed either,
Harry, while you were gone!� she heard Ron say as she approached the
dividers.� �And�just as a warning, mate,�
Ron�s voice took a serious tone, and Cho could see his face turn as red as his
hair, �don�t�uh�try to relax on Hagrid�s bed.�
It�s�that�s all I have to say.�

The Ravenclaw hoped the Golden
Trio and their fourth, hadn�t heard her slap her face when she slammed her hand
over her fit-to-laugh mouth.� Luckily,
Harry cleared his throat and shifted in his bed uncomfortably at his best
friend�s words, and it distracted his group.�

�Ssss,� he hissed, and Cho
wondered if he was having a flash back of their last time in Hagrid�s hut.

�Are you all right, Harry?�
Hermione asked, concern having never left her face since Cho rounded the
dividers.

Harry nodded.� �Oh, yeah, I�m�fine, Hermione.� Thanks.�

�I�ll take responsibility for
healing some of your battle scars, Harry,� Ginny said giggling slyly.� Ginny, as Cho predicted, was sitting on the
edge of Harry�s bed with her arms around his waist while placing a kiss on his
bruised cheek.

Ron pulled a face of disgust.� �Think perhaps you can stay off him,
Ginny?� They have just fixed him, after
all.� Bloody hell, we need him well for
when Quidditch practice starts back up after the holiday!�

�Ron!� scolded Hermione.� �Harry�s health is more important then
Quidditch, isn�t it?� Is that all you
think about?�

Harry giggled as Ron stared at
Hermione giving the answer to her question.�
�Yes, Ron, is that all you think about?� Harry joked.

�WHOA, LOOK AT THE TIME!� said Ron
suddenly, standing up and looking at his wrist with no watch.� �Let�s get going you lot before Madam Pomfrey
comes to chuck us out!�

Hermione stood up as well, darting
her eyes from Harry to Ron.� Ginny simply
giggled and tightened her hold around Harry�s waist.� �I�m not going anywhere until Madam Pomfrey
pulls me out by my ruddy hai�� Ginny�s words stopped abruptly when she heard
Harry sniff hard.

Oh damn, Cho thought lackadaisically with a smile on her invisible
face.� Reckon I shouldn�t have washed my hair before I came.� Somewhere in the back of her mind, Cho scolded
herself for defeating herself, and then patted herself on the back.� I
should leave then, since he�s found me out.�
Harry sniffed once more and turned his head to the side slightly.� Cho tried not to giggle as she stood her
ground.

�Wow, Harry, you never smell my
hair unless�um�� began Ginny then stopped and looked toward her now red-faced
brother.

�Time to go, Ginny!� Ron growled,
pulling at his sister�s arm.

Ginny yanked her arm out of his
grasp, then tightened them around Cho�s assailant.� �No, I�m staying until��

�Um, Gin, maybe you should�� Harry
began, reaching both arms, both healed arms around his waist and pulling hers
gently away.� The fifth year looked
crestfallen at her boyfriend�s suggestion.�
�Sorry, but I�don�t want Madam Pomfrey to�give us any reason to shorten
future visits.� Let�s tick her off some
other day, shall we?� he requested, smiling hopefully and pleadingly to his
girlfriend.� Cho and Harry held their
breath until Ginny smiled understandingly.

�All right, Harry,� the littlest
Weasley agreed.� Cho held her breath again
as Ginny kissed her boyfriend.� Oddly,
the Ravenclaw noticed that Harry held his breath as well.� �I�ll be here first thing in the morning
then, Love,� Ginny whispered and Cho�s stomach turned.

A million miles away in her mind,
something told Cho to leave.� She didn�t.

�Alright,� Harry said, smiling,
pushing his girlfriend up more, �until morning, then.� Thank you all for coming.�

Cho, and more than likely Harry as
well, hoped that Ginny didn�t notice his sudden urgency to get her and his best
friends out of there.� They hadn�t
notice.� Well, it seemed the redheads
hadn�t.� Hermione�s eyes narrowed at her
bed-ridden best friend.� Cho grimaced at
the bushy-haired girl�s cleverness; she just hoped the Gryffindor would simply
allow her mind to reel with ideas for the remainder of the night, instead of
asking Harry any questions.� The
Ravenclaw lucked out.� �Good night, then,
Harry,� Hermione said, her eyes still narrowed in confusion, but hugged and
kissed her friend�s cheek nonetheless.�
�See you in the morning?�

�Right,� Harry said happily,
hugging his friend, oddly, tighter than he hugged his girlfriend.� Cho wondered briefly if she had been right in
her suspicions last year.� Then she nearly
giggled to herself as she realized Harry could not fit another woman into his
life in that capacity, not with trying to balance Ginny and herself.� Still, the hug was a little too tight for her
comfort.

Stop it, Cho!� For Merlin�s sake,
that�s his friend��

�Night, Harry.� Come along, Hermione,� said Ron brusquely,
and pulling the sixth year girl off the sixth year hero.

Too close for comfort for Ron too! Cho laughed in her mind, as she
he watched Ron intertwine his fingers with Hermione�s and drag her off,
grabbing his sister in the process.

She stood, and he sat in silence
until the sound of the hospital doors clicked, indicating that the visiting
occupants of the Infirmary were gone.�
Cho peeked around the divider to verify the fact and saw no Gryffindors.� Then, the Ravenclaw contemplated attempting
again to play a trick on Harry, for he was sure to be seeking her out very
soon.� She watched the reluctant, still
heavily bruised, hero turn on his bed and rest his feet on the stone
floor.� The seventh year put her hand
over her mouth so as to not let out a giggle.�
She knew he could smell her hair, but she hoped she could hold out long
enough to make him think it was a delusion.

�God, I hope you�re naked�� Harry
said suddenly in the quiet hospital wing, before looking toward the area she
stood in.� His focus was passed her head,
but she knew he knew she was there.� But Cho
wouldn�t let on that easy, though her body flushed with heat at his hopeful,
lustful words.� As it fell silent once
more, Harry narrowed his one green, one black and green eye in her direction.� �Love?� he called and received no
answer.� �Love�are you�here?� he said
again, now nervously.� �I�know you�re
here�I can smell your hair�� Cho held
her mouth to cover the giggle.�
�Love?�� Not wanting to wait any
longer for him to squeeze the air of her thoroughly, the Ravenclaw put her wand
tip to the top of her head and stepped forward, ready to think the incantation
for reappearance.� �For the love of
Quidditch, show yourself already!� I�ve
missed you all day, Ch��

�Alright, Harry!� said a voice not
of the Ravenclaw and from the other end of Harry�s bed.� Luckily for Cho, Harry gasped so loudly from
being startled that it covered hers up as Ginny pulled his Invisibility Cloak
off her head wearing a huge grin underneath.�
The seventh year was sure she nearly lost control of the charm for a
moment for her body not being in a mindful state, so she quickly thought the
charm for disappearance again just to insure she stayed that way.

�GINNY!� Harry said, holding his
heart and breathing heavier than the situation would have normally
warranted.� Cho�s heart was pounding from
what he was really breathing heavy about.�
�What�how?� I mean�uh�� Harry�s eyes darted toward the invisible Cho
and then back at his girlfriend.

The fifth year beamed as she
stepped over the Cloak and soon pushed her boyfriend back across his bed.� The tiny framed girl straddled the reluctant
looking hero.� �Told you I wanted your Cloak
for a reason, Harry,� Ginny said lustfully.�
�I�ve come to make you feel better��
Cho had watched the two make pathetic love once before, and
giggled.� Now the Ravenclaw was sure
she�d run out of the hospital wing and become violently ill.� �Sorry, I couldn�t be naked for you already
like you thought, Harry�� The bile
bubbled in Cho�s stomach.� �But I knew
tonight would be a good night to visit
you since you were sniffing my hair.� You
only do that when we make love,� she said just above a whisper, leaning down
toward her boyfriend�s mouth.

�TWICE,� Harry said suddenly, and
much louder than the slight whisper of his girlfriend, as he darted his eyes
toward his invisible visitor/victim.�
�You mean the two times ONLY, that we�ve�um��

�Made love, yes,� Ginny said, then
kissed her boyfriend.� �It�ll be better
this time, Harry.� I think you may get
the hang of it tonight.� Three times is a
charm, after all.�

Get the hang of it?� My God,
woman, don�t your eyes roll in the back of your head when he�s�� And �three times a charm�?� Three times in a day is old hat for him, what
are you talking about, Ginny?� And stop
kissing him for fuck sakes! Cho thought, then gasped.� She felt her heart pounding but not from the
fear of nearly getting caught moments ago, but out of�anger?� Jealously, perhaps?� Her heart wasn�t pounding in the same manner
when she watched Harry and Hermione hug, though she mentally accused him
nonetheless.� What is going on with me?

But her jealously was the least of
her worries, when suddenly she realized her gasp had been loud enough to catch
the littlest Weasley�s attention.� �What
was that?� Ginny whispered just above Harry�s lips.� �You wouldn�t guess it�s�Madam Pomfrey, would
you?�

Harry�s eyes darted around again,
making sure to glance in the Ravenclaw�s direction.� He began gently pushing Ginny up.� �Could be, Gin,� he said quickly.� �Look, maybe�not tonight for�well�� And besides, I�m still done in, aren�t
I?� Give me some�time to heal and
then�maybe��

�Well, I could at least stick
around�hide under the Cloak until I know she�s asleep, then sleep with you in
your bed, Harry?� the fifth year suggested, desperately.

The sixth year shook his
head.� �No, no, Ginny, this bed�is far
to�small for both of us�isn�t it?� he lied.�
The seventh year raised her eyebrow knowing they fit perfectly well in
the bed the night before, comfortably locked in his arm, his heart beat gently
rocking her to sleep�

STOP IT, CHO! she shouted to herself in her mind.� Would
you mind getting a rather firm grip on yourself?� Had you today, maybe you wouldn�t be
thinking�such things!

The saddened redhead sat up on her
elbows above Harry.� Tilting her head,
however, Cho noticed that she was attempting to train her ears for any
additional noises that may be caused by the school matron.� Briefly, the Ravenclaw entertained the idea
of knocking over the stack of bedpans in the corner just to cause Madam Pomfrey
to come out.� But something in her
stomach told her not to do.

Luckily, however, a click from the
office door indicated that she wouldn�t have too.� �All visitors are to leave.� It is now nine o�clock!� bellowed Madam Pomfrey
as she began her trek down the center aisle.

Cho stepped back as Ginny and
Harry began to scramble quickly.� Unable
to see the material on the floor, Ginny reached at the stone floor hastily,
searching for her hiding place.� However,
she was unsuccessful, while her Seeker boyfriend was not.� As Madam Pomfrey rounded the dividers, Ginny
was red-faced with embarrassment, disappointment, and irritation, while Harry
was kicking his heel against his Cloak to push it under his bed.� Out of the many incidences Cho should and had
felt sorry for Ginny, this time she couldn�t muster it.

�It is now nine o�clock, Miss
Weasley.� I trust that you know the rules
well.� Good night,� Madam Pomfrey said
coolly to the now sexless-redhead.

Ginny lowered her head in defeat.� �Yes, ma�am,� she mumbled, before turning to
look at her boyfriend sitting nervously on the edge of his bed.� �Night then, Harry.� I hope you find�what I�lost,� she added, then
kissed him lightly on the forehead before following the matron out of Harry�s
designated area.

Again, Cho and Harry stood and sat
in silence until there were no sounds coming from anywhere near the door.� The Ravenclaw�s logical mind forced her to
stand watch of Madam Pomfrey�s and Ginny�s descent so that she could see the redhead
leave, with the matron locking the doors behind her, then going into her office
and closing the door as well.� Even then,
the assailant and his victim were quiet for a few minutes to ensure that they
were truly alone.� But as usual, the
patience of the Gryffindor when it came to his Ravenclaw wore out.

�Love, I hope you�re still here,�
Harry whispered this time, nervously glancing in her general direction.� �I can smell your hair�but��

�I�m here, Harry,� Cho said,
walking closer to him.

Harry smiled and Cho couldn�t help
but imitate it.� �I still hope you�re
naked.�

The seventh year sucked her teeth
in mock irritation and tapped her forehead with her wand.� Soon she reappeared right in front of the
parted legs of the Gryffindor�fully clothed.�
�Sorry to disappoint you, Harry,� Cho said, as she smiled down at her
assailant, �but I think you know what I look like starkers anyway, don�t you?�
she joked.

Harry smiled boyishly up at her as
he placed his hands on her waist.�
�Doesn�t mean I don�t want to see it every day�all day�at every moment��
he smirked.

Cho placed a hand on his shoulder
as he pulled her closer, while she rolled her eyes to the ceiling, still
smiling.� �All right then,� she said
exasperatedly.� �But look and don�t
touch�more than you�re doing right now, Harry.�
Agreed?� the Ravenclaw said firmly to his smiling eyes.� Harry�s wide grin only nodded profusely.� She knew he was lying.� She knew she didn�t care.� She knew she�d have to fight him off.� It was all apart of their fun.� With a tap of wand to her shoulder, Cho�s
t-shirt disappeared, revealing her lacy white bra.� Harry looked hungrily at her covered breasts
before placing his hands higher around her waist.� Cho loved the way he stared at her body, and
she wanted more.� With another tap of her
wand, her jeans disappeared, revealing that she wore nothing underneath, as
usual.

The seventh year nearly dropped
her wand with the sudden onset of Harry�s hungry, demanding kisses tearing at
her stomach.� Cho bit her lip as he bit
at her lower belly.� His hands were a
gentle but purposeful blur on her body from her groped, squeezed, manipulated
breasts, to her cupped and gripped naked backside.� The madden frenzy of hands and lips, tongues
and teeth, the hungry desire meant solely for her, and having missed him in so
many ways, made the Ravenclaw want to give in to both of them, strip her
Gryffindor and ride him right there in his bed.�
And when Harry�s lips descended to the mound of short black hairs
leading to the area that ached for him in every way, Cho was sure her willpower
would cease to exist.

�Sss, Harry, don�t�� Cho hissed,
moaned, pleaded, as her hand tangled in his hair, slid down to his
shoulder.� Forgetting to apply the
pressure on his shoulder to emphasis her words, the seventh year moaned once
more as Harry�s tongue licked through the sparse hairs.� But when her assailant�s hand slid down to
the back of her thigh and began trying to lift it, she found the strength to
push�very little strength, but strength nonetheless.� �Harry�please�� she begged weakly.

�Please, Love�� Harry begged her
in return, right in her mound of hairs.�
�Just�let me taste you�just a little��
He pulled gently again at her leg to lift.� �We don�t have to�make love yet�if you
don�t�want too��

Cho could see, in her mind, her
leg lifting to rest her foot on Harry�s bed, just to give him further access to
her wet snatch.� She could also see, in
her mind, that the first few flicks of his tongue in her folds would send her
clear out of her mind and her voice echoing in the hospital wing waking Madam
Pomfrey.

Cho found the strength to pull
completely away from what she wanted.� It
was hard getting out of Harry�s strong grasp, in more way then one for the
Ravenclaw, but she stood far enough back out of his reach to catch her breath.� �Harry, for God sakes�you promised�� Cho said
breathlessly.

�You know I�missed you,
Beautiful,� he nearly whispered, his voice husky from desire.� The hunger in Harry�s eyes was still present,
but Cho could also see a predatory gleam about the green as well.� She knew any moment the skilled Seeker, Hero,
Gryffindor would pounce on her.� Quickly,
the Ravenclaw tapped her shoulder, then her leg causing her clothes to
reappear.� The seventh year felt relief
with the material on her skin, blocking the lips and hands that had been
there.� Though she felt that the barrier
of material would cause Harry to calm his desire for her, she noticed that it
had not.� �Come here, Love,� Harry
requested quietly.

Cho shook her head slowly.� There had been times in the past when they
weren�t together for two or three, even four once, days.� And the sex and desire for each other after
such a long pause would normally warrant explosive, war-like, mind-blowing sex
when reunited.� But something about the
tension between the two at the moment was much different.� Cho would admit that she could claw through a
wall to get to him at the moment if she had too.� The present bulge in his pajama pants alone
made her mouth water, and she entertained the idea of dropping to her knees and
sucking him into satisfaction for the night.�
And by the look in her assailant�s eyes, he seemed fit to push pass the
Dark Lord and Ginny to get to his victim.�
The Ravenclaw was sure it would be something beyond brilliant when the
two were finally able to be together�� Sexually!

But tonight wasn�t the night, the
location wasn�t right, and she needed the extra time to pluck out some of the
needles in her chest.

�No, Harry,� Cho replied just as
quietly, swallowing hard for further strength.�
�We�can�t��

Harry�s eyes still read of
unwavering need and desire.� �I just want
you to lay with me, Love,� he said evenly, still huskily, still lying.

Cho took an additional step
back.� She knew better than to believe
him.� She also knew he wasn�t the only
one she didn�t trust in the room.�
�No�I�don�t believe you.� With two
healed arms�I�m sure neither of us will be sleeping this evening, Harry,� the
Ravenclaw said, hoping that hungry look in his eyes would fade just a little as
he glared at her body as though he could see through the material.

�If I have to wait one more day
to�be with you, Cho�� Harry nearly whispered again, again evenly, this time
truthfully, �I�ll go mad!� Please, Love��

The desperation on the
Gryffindor�s face mirrored what the Ravenclaw felt inside.� She wanted him too, but she knew it wasn�t
the right time.� Bravely, knowing how
swift, strong, and horny her assailant was, even while broken and bruised, Cho
stepped toward Harry.� His arms instantly
lifted to her, ready to take her in and lay her down, but the Ravenclaw had
other plans.� Stopping mid way to him,
not wanting to get too close, she leaned forward and looked eye to eye with the
Boy-Who-Wanted-Her.� Cho smiled as she
put her hand on his cheek.� Then her
smile slowly kissed his forehead, his scar, and Harry shuddered lightly.� �When you get out of here, Harry�� she
whispered, meeting his hungry emerald gaze once more, �I promise it will seem
as though I�m trying to send you back,� Cho finished, grinning slyly at her
sexual partner.

Harry�s desperate expression
displayed a small smile as he watched the chestnut eyes in front of him.� �Bless you, Love,� he whispered, the words
caressing her parted smiling lips.�

As Cho swallowed Harry�s words,
her lips tingled oddly.� She licked her
own and they tingled a little more.� When
she looked away from his lips, the tingling stopped.� Time to
leave, Cho� she thought instinctively.�
�Good night, Harry,� she said, then stood upright and made to walk away.

To her surprise, or maybe not so
much, Cho could hear Harry struggling to stand up.� �Love?� he called.

Cho turned around mostly to scold
him for standing up on his bandaged leg.�
But when he hobbled over quickly to her, then locked her in his arms,
she forgot for a moment what she wanted to say.�
�Um�yes, Harry?� she said just above a whisper, her lips tingling at the
sight of his.� Those lips stood close to
her own as Harry rested his forehead on hers.�
Cho�s only defense in the impromptu embrace was to close her eyes.

�When we�re able to be together
again�� he began in a tone that keeping her eyes closed only made the Ravenclaw
weaker with desire, �and before you�hopefully�paralyze me,� he joked, �I just
need�� Harry�s lips brushed across her
forehead, then down to her nose, and she prayed he wouldn�t go any lower, and
prayed that she had strength if he did.�
��to make love to you first.� I
have to�taste every inch of you�first, Beautiful.� I�ve been suffering so�long without you�� he
paused to kiss her cheek.� �Please��

Cho�s breath had picked up
considerably through his speech.� She
could feel his breath on her lips again.�
And she wanted nothing more than to NOT just feel his breath on them.� Kiss
him, Cho!� For god sakes, kiss him!
she yelled at herself in her mind.

No! something in the back of her mind, a million miles away,
shouted.� Don�t, Cho!� Be strong!�

Leave then, for all that is holy, leave!

�O-o-okay, Harry,� the Ravenclaw
stuttered, willing herself to find the strength to pull out of his grasp.� �N-n-night, then.��

Cho felt cold but trembled for an
entirely different reason when she pulled free from Harry�s arms.� Not looking back, she left him standing near
his bed as she quietly walked down the center aisle of the Infirmary.� Wand out, she tapped her forehead before she
reached the area of Madam Pomfrey office door.�
However, heavily laden with desire, confusion, and fear of her desire
and confusion, the seventh year had a hard time remaining under the
disillusionment charm.� Getting close
enough to the matron�s office door, which could be easily peeked out of due to
its glass window, Cho resolved to take a deep breath, count to ten and try the
charm once more.� Tapping her forehead,
she felt the cold sensation caress her body as it always did.� Hoping against hope, she looked down to her
hands and saw nothing.� Quickly, the
Ravenclaw rushed the doors of the Infirmary, quietly opening them, quietly
walking out, and quickly locking them behind her.

Bloody, Harry! Cho thought to herself as she ran, still invisible,
down the corridor.� This is all his fault!� I really
do hate�him�?� What Cho newly hated
was the question in her thought as the last sentence sounded in her mind.

*****************************************************************

After a night of sucking on her
finger, screaming Harry�s name all while making love�to herself, Cho felt some
of the tension he had created recede; just a tiny portion that is.� The seventh year felt sure that if the sixth
year wasn�t released shortly from the hospital wing, she�d give him his wish
right in his hospital bed�in the daytime�with Madam Pomfrey and Ginny as
witnesses.

Still, the Ravenclaw had the
unwavering smile she had worn all day Friday, as she walked to breakfast
Saturday with a silent, peeking Terry.�
She noticed her friend�s curious glances and turned her head toward him
as they walked.� �What, Terry?�

Terry looked ahead.� �Nothing, Cho,� he answered to quickly for it
to be the truth.� �I�m just�glad to see
you�smiling so�brightly.�

�Thank�you�Terry,� she said
slowly, wondering if he was going to be honest about what he was really
thinking.

The two walked to breakfast in
complete silence.� They made their way to
their table, sat, and began eating.�
Others talked to them, but the two new best friends didn�t talk to each
other.� Cho hoped she hadn�t done
anything to ruin their new friendship.�
She never had a friend as wonderful and understanding as Terry.� Breaking away from her conversation with Constance, she finally decided to ask Terry if she had
done something wrong.� As she opened her
mouth speak, however, Terry beat her to the punch.

�Would you look at that?� he said
in Cho�s direction, but looking toward the doors of the Great Hall.� Cho watched the Golden Duo and a beaming
Ginny walking into breakfast.

But the Ravenclaw girl pretended
not to know what she was suppose to be seeing.�
�What?� What am I looking at?� she
asked, darting her head around to see what could possibly be interesting in the
Great Hall.

Terry sucked his teeth so loudly, Patricia�s
stopped her conversation to say, �Seriously, Marietta!�

�Ginny.� She looks�awfully�happy this morning�� Terry
said, watching the littlest Weasley, while peeking at the raven-haired beauty
beside him.

Cho�s smile faltered a
little.� What is he getting at? she thought.�
�Well, I reckon she should be happy, shouldn�t she?� Her�boyfriend�s back from the dead, isn�t
he?� I�d be�happy too if��

�Right, exactly, her BOYFRIEND is
back,� Terry said pointedly.

The seventh year girl narrowed her
eyes.� �What are you getting at, Terry?�
she asked with irritation and insult.�
�Because you�re not sounding very nice to me right now.� You must be hanging around a certain someone
far too much!�

Terry nodded profusely.� �Exactly!�
I have been hanging around a certain someone TOO much. Someone I know I
have�no future with.� Someone who has a
future already set for them that doesn�t and won�t ever include me!� Someone I�m doing all I can to�control my
feelings for because of those reasons.�
Cho�� Terry paused and put his arm around his best friend�s
shoulder.� �I hope you�re�paying
attention to my�problems with a certain someone.� I just don�t�want you to suffer with�another
certain someone, is all,� he explained, thoughtfully.

Cho understood her friend�s
concerns, but she had a handle on this�situation with Harry.� She could control her feelings�well, she
would learn to control her feelings.� The
seventh year had done well for months.�
It was just�the last few weeks had been��
But Terry didn�t have to worry, the sensible Ravenclaw would be wiser
than her younger counterpart.� �Terry��
she began quietly, leaning her head on his shoulder briefly.

Terry squeezed her shoulder.� �Just be careful, Cho, that�s all I ask of
you.� Don�t�hurt like�me, its hell on
your complexion!� he joked.� Cho laughed
along with her friend.� She knew he was
right, and she knew he was suffering.�
But the female Ravenclaw had a better handle on her secret
relationship�no, sexual�er, dealings with one Harry Potter, then the male
Ravenclaw had on his sexual�dealings with one Draco Malfoy.�

At least Cho hoped she did.

But the sick pocket in the pretty
girl�s stomach, the metaphorical needles in her chest, the tingling in her
lips, the need to knock the red out Ginny�s hair (only on occasion), were
just�reactions too�being�without her�addiction for several days.� Yeah, that would work for Cho.� Well, at least the idea would help her sleep
at night.

Sleep.� Tonight.� Exactly. Cho thought as she watched the
ever-smiling Ginny.� No visiting Harry.� You can stay
away one day at least, can�t you?�

Of course.� Besides, it�ll make
it all the better when he comes out of there, if he hasn�t touched or seen me
in a few days� she smiled toward Ginny, not thinking of Ginny at all.�

***************************************************

The pretty Ravenclaw made good on
her promise to herself and she didn�t visit Harry that Saturday at all.� She may have paced back and forth in front of
the hospital wing doors, but that was it.�
It nearly killed her, but she kept herself distracted by talking Terry�s
ear off until he was nearly out the door for his secret rendezvous.�

Sunday morning, after taking care
of her own needs several times over, Cho snuck up the stairs to the boys�
dormitory of Ravenclaw
Tower well after Michael
and the other sixth year boy left.�
Terry, tired from the night before, was still lying down and Cho quickly
popped into bed with him.

Terry yelled from fear at the
sudden invasion of his bed.� Then he
yelled in frustration as he found it to be a smiling, in-need-of-distraction
Cho.� �DAMN YOU, POTTER!� HEAL ALREADY SO I CAN GET A BLOODY SHAG AND
SOME BLOODY SLEEP!�� Cho laughed at her
friend as he pulled the covers over his head, having no intentions of leaving
his bed no matter how much he protested.

*****

But Cho�s sleep that night would
be interrupted as well.� She had managed
another day without seeing Harry, however the lack of sex caused her to, again,
satisfy her own needs.� But the Ravenclaw
couldn�t help but to do it so much that evening in her, she fell into a deep
sleep from the multiple orgasms.

The furious masturbation induced
coma she had fallen into was gladly welcomed.�
At least asleep, she wouldn�t be thinking about Harry.� However, Cho felt sure she was dreaming again
when she felt soft lips on hers.� The
Ravenclaw opened her eyes in her dark, moonlight-streaked room to find her
assailant retracting his head from her own.

�Harry!� she whispered in
surprised, yet, happily.� Then her joy
disappeared as her mind became clearer, and an odd, though pleasant smell
filled her nose.� �Oh�I must be dreaming
again, right?�

Harry narrowed his eyes at her in
the dark.� �Blimey, Love, do you dream
about me as much as I dream about you?� he whispered.

Something told Cho not to answer
that�truthfully, as she allowed her eyes to get a clearer view of what was
happening around her.� Harry was standing
up and leaning into her curtains.� Had
she been dreaming, she�d have been naked, he�d have been naked, and already
inside her to boot.� No, this wasn�t a
dream.� �Uh�no, of course not,� she
lied.� �But are you getting into the bed
with me or not?� You can�t very well
stand out there and take me properly, can you?�

She watched Harry flash his
handsome, or sexually devious (There�s a
difference?) smile at her.� �No,
Beautiful.� This has been a long time
coming.� I�ve come here to collect you
and take you away to a place where we�ll have more room, no need for a
silencing charm, and more time together.�
Come on,� he said, putting his hand out to help her get up.� Cho couldn�t help but smile as she took
Harry�s hand and got out of bed.� Putting
on her slippers quickly, and putting on the robe Harry held open for her, the
two walked hand in hand out of the dorm, down the stairs, out the Tower and through
the halls.�

Harry was consulting his map on
occasion, but mostly his walked consisted of looking at the Ravenclaw holding
his hand.� Cho kept them from walking
into walls a few times, but she too, couldn�t help but to smile at her
assailant.� All she thought about as they
walked in silence was his promise to kiss every inch of her body before making
love to her.� The thought alone, made Cho
want to drag Harry through the halls and to their destination quickly.� Patience,
Cho.� You can have him all night if you
want� Her smile grew even brighter.

Then Cho gasped.� She was asleep before Harry kissed her
awake.� The seventh year was sure her
breath was horrendous, but how could she ask to run back to her Tower to brush
her teeth?� His romantic act of waking
her with a kiss and stealing her away in the night to make love to her would be
ruined.� The wheels in her Ravenclaw mind
turned.� Then, without his noticed, as if
it was possible for the Hero/Seeker not to notice, Cho withdrew her wand and
held it in her free hand down at her side.�
She waited until Harry checked his map once more, then quickly put the
tip of her wand to her mouth, thinking the incantation for fresher breath.� The seventh year exhaled in relief when she
felt her mouth become suddenly minty.�
She glanced at Harry who was smiling lightly at his map.� Then the Ravenclaw wondered how her skin must
look in the middle of the night, and what could possibly be crusted around her
eyes.� She waited once more for Harry to
look at his map, then quickly thought of the cleansing charm while tapping her
wand to her cheek.� She hoped it worked
and she hoped he hadn�t noticed her slight sprucing.� Hope wasn�t on her side at the moment.

�Love, you don�t have to do
that.� You�re beautiful to me, always,� Harry
said, smiling at her as he squeezed her hand.�

Cho�s face was red with
embarrassment.� Bloody Hero, Seeker�Sweetheart! she scolded in her mind, and
smiled.� �I�wasn�t�doing it for�you,� she
lied.� �I�� but Cho�s words stopped when
she noticed the odd smell from her room still present as they walked through
the hall.� �Harry?� she said, narrowing
her eyes and looking up the hall, then behind her.� �Is Dobby�following us with, I don�t know
what possibly, but��

�Dobby?� Harry repeated in
confusion.� �No.� He shouldn�t be at least.� Why, Cho?�

The Ravenclaw narrowed her eyes
even further, then sniffed.� The smell
was still very present as they walked, and much to her irritation, drowning out
Harry�s light woodsy scent that she loved.�
She pulled the lapel of her robe up to sniff it, it only smelled like
her.� Then she glanced at the person
holding her hand.� Cho leaned over and
sniffed Harry�s shoulder thinking, if anything, she�ll get to smell the fresh
forest-like scent of his.� But to the
Ravenclaw�s surprise, she inhaled that invading aroma even more.� �It�s you, Harry,� she declared, looking into
now nervous green.

�It�s me, what?� he said, his
cheeks turning slightly pink.

Cho wanted to laugh at him, but
she was able to keep it down to a smile.�
�You�are wearing�cologne?� You
never wear cologne.�

The pink of his cheeks melted
quickly into red.� The Gryffindor looked
ahead, then at his map, then back ahead as they walked.� �I�well�I just�wanted to�since tonight is
so�I thought maybe�since the other guys wear�I thought you�d like it,� he
finally said, honestly, still too embarrassed to look at her.� �I�borrowed some from Dean Thomas�while he
was asleep. You�don�t like it?� he asked the stone floor of the corridor.� �McLaggen�wears cologne,� he mumbled.

Cho snorted lightly.� �You�re not Cormac, Harry.�� He nodded remorsefully to the floor.� The Ravenclaw squeezed his hand and shook it
just a little until he looked at her.� �I
loved the way you smell naturally.� You
didn�t have to put cologne on for me.�

Harry, still red-faced, smiled at
Cho.� Then, to her surprise, he handed
her the map.� Without saying a word, he
swished his wand over himself, and Cho watched little sprinkles appear in the
air in front of him, then disappear.� The
manufactured aroma was gone and the seventh year leaned over to take a whiff of
the natural scent that turned her on.� It
was there, and she couldn�t get them to their destination quick enough.��

And no sooner had they entered the
Room of Requirement, were they kissing, groping, and kneading each others
bodies.� But it wasn�t the war of tongues
and mouths and lips like before, they kissed on each others necks, faces,
chests slowly but purposefully as they removed each others clothing in the
process.� And soon Cho was on her back on
an extraordinarily comfortable bed, with the extraordinarily wonderful mouth of
Harry kissing, tasting, and licking her body.�
Cho�s smile was unwavering, even when Harry bit into her inner thigh.�

�Sss, mmm�� she hissed and moaned
in turn, running her fingers through Harry�s hair as he kissed the spot he
bit.� It hurt but just right.� Her body flushed with even more heat and
desire, her insides screamed for him to finally enter her.� But the Ravenclaw resisted the urge to beg
him to fuck her. �Cho did all she could
to will herself into patience.� His
kisses, his mouth, his tongue, and his teeth, were trying her patience at the
moment, but she wanted enjoy them.� Soon,
his lips traveled upward, and Cho held in her breath in anticipation of what he
may do next as he ravaged the fold where her thigh connects to her hip.� He was so close to her already drenched in
response to him, in need of him, in preparation for him, femininity.� The seventh year was sure the moment Harry�s
soft, wet tongue simply brushed across her clitoris, she�d fold clear in half
from the sensation.

And it wasn�t long before the
breath of her Boy Hero was flowing lightly over her waiting vagina.� His warm breath, flowing over the heat
emanating from her body, caused an odd sort of chill on her wetness.� It all added to her sexual arousal and Cho
hoped she didn�t grab Harry by the ears and shove his face into her wanton
snatch.� But her patience was only being
tested again, and the Ravenclaw reminded herself that he was worth waiting
for.� However, to Cho�s surprise, and
maybe relief, Harry backed away from her body instead of enjoying his favorite
meal.� Instead, the Chosen One lifted one
of his Perfect Imperfection�s leg and gently turned her over her on her
stomach.�

The warm silk sheets felt
sensational against Cho�s heated body.�
Her hard nipples were caressed by the silk and her arms slid across the
soft fabric so delicately, it only added to her arousal.� Or maybe that arousal was caused by Harry
slowly kissing, licking, biting up her calves, then her thighs, then the small
mounds of her backside.� Cho�s body writhed
on the sheets from his kisses, but she spread opened her legs voluntarily when
his tongue teased the cleft of her ass.�
The seventh year desired to be tasted anywhere in her mid-section.� Either her vagina or her sphincter being
lovingly violated by her assailant�s tongue, could make her scream and cum and
scream for more.� And as Harry�s tongue
delved deeper into her cheeks, Cho felt the tip of it tasting her perineum.� Then it traveled up the slit to her
sphincter, taking time to dip once and deeply into the opening.� The pretty Asian had her hands full of
sheet.� And his tongue didn�t stop there
after he tasted her insides, the wicked tongue of the Boy Hero, slid further up
her opening, over her lower back with the flat of his tongue, then up her
spine.� The Ravenclaw girl was white
knuckling the silk sheets as her upper body lifted on her elbows in response to
licks, and her pelvis grinded downward to it as well.

�Sss, Harry�� Cho hissed once more
as his tongue trailed in between her shoulder blades and continued upward.� And when she felt his rock hard member laying
flatly between her cheeks, and then a grind from his hips matching the one of
hers, the seventh year felt sure her patience to have him had gotten up out of
bed and walked out of the Room of Requirement.

Harry�s nose delved into her hair
while he gently pushed her head to the side.�
When the white column of the back of her neck was exposed, the sixth
year went to work on his second favorite meal.�
Cho could feel one of her nail pulling back on her finger as she gripped
the sheets, and Harry grinded her hips down in them at the same time.�

With his arms wrapped around her,
one hand kneading her breast, while the other held her close, Cho could feel a
thumping on her back.� She knew her heart
was beating a mile a minute, he was driving nearly insane with desire, but what
put a tiny smile on her parted breathing lips was the feeling of his heart beating
on her.� His heart beat that was beating
on her, that was beating because of what they were doing, that was beating for her; she reveled in it, she loved
it, she felt greedy for it.� It felt
perfect; they felt perfect together in their private world, and all Cho needed
to make it even better was to have her Gryffindor inside her.

As if reading her mind, Harry slid
off the back of her body and gently turned her over.� When their eyes met, the two couldn�t help
but to smile at each other.� Cho was smiling
inside and out with the joy of what was to come and who it was coming
from.� She could see in her assailant�s
green eyes that he too felt the same way.�
And when Harry eased back on top her, Cho instinctively opened her legs,
and wrapped them around him.� Harry
continued to smile at her, and leaned down to place a soft kiss on her
forehead, her cheek, her jaw, and of course, her nose that was crinkling from
her uncontrollable smile.� Cho held his
cheek and caressed it.� It felt like a
boy�s cheek, possible hair to grow there in the future, but it felt like Heaven.� It was her Heaven that was far from her Hell
only a few months prior.� And her soul
that pulled between the two worlds had healed almost in half, more than she had
felt in a long time.�

Cho was happy.

It took a moment for the seventh
year to realize that her partner�s helmet was at her entrance.� Harry was skilled at positioning himself
without the use of his hand from their many romps together.� It was when he slowly entered her that she knew
he was set to take her to their private place in Heaven.� And at the sensation of him being in to the
hilt, the Ravenclaw felt something she hadn�t since the beginning of their
secret world; tears.� Cho�s eyes welled
almost instantly with the first stroke of him inside her, and they fell
unashamedly down her temples.� Harry, who
had been staring into her eyes the entire time he eased inside, changed his
smile to worry at the sight of the tears, and stopped his movement.

�What�s the matter, Love?� Am I hurting you?� he asked, worriedly.

Cho smiled behind her tears, and
continued to caress the cheek she hadn�t let go of.� �No, Harry��
It�s just�I�m just�happy,� she said as another tear slid out of her eye.

Harry�s smile returned
instantly.� He, then, gently wiped the
tears off her temple.� He kissed the
other temple, wiping the salty sweet water away with his lips.� They were instantly replaced with a few new
ones as he hovered his head over his smiling victim.� �I am too, Love,� he whispered, before lowering
his head to her cheek, then neck causing her to close her arms around him as he
continued to make love to her.

He was inside her, deep inside
her.� The placed he belonged.� In her arms where he belonged, not God knows
where.� He was alive and deep inside her,
allowing her to cherish him with her tiny warm space; allowing her soul to
heal.� He was there, touching her,
kissing her skin, claiming her as his.�
She was his.� Right then, she was
only his.� And he was only hers.� Every inch of his manhood he buried slowly
inside her, belong to her.� Every inch of
wet space he penetrated between her legs belonged to him.� And every inch, every ounce, every cell Cho
possessed, that Harry possessed of her, was happy.

*****

�Oh, you did not!� Cho giggled,
laying in the bed face to face with Harry, their limbs tangled gently together,
after making love for what seemed like forever.

�I did too!� Harry�s smile said
earnestly as he nodded on his pillow.� �I
couldn�t help it!� I knew I was going
into a battle, that could have very well been my last time on earth�� he
explained, and Cho�s smile faltered slightly at his reference.� He lifted his hand from her back and gently
stroked her cheek in what seemed to be an effort in bringing her smile back.� ��so, I went into my room at�where I was
staying beforehand, took out your knickers I stole from you earlier this year,
put them on my face and wanked!� I
couldn�t very well die with a hard on, now could I?� Luckily, I put a locking charm on my door
before I lay down or Dumbledore would have burst in wondering why I had a pair
torn female knickers on my face!� he laughed.�
�The wanking off, I�m sure he would have understood, but the knickers��

Cho snorted once more.� �Well, maybe he would have thought them to be
Ginny�s.� After all, she�s your��

�Would have been hard for him to
think they were Ginny�s, considering I was saying your name,� he interrupted
her, and winked.� �They were your
knickers after all.� They still smelled
like you�and tasted like you�� he mumbled the end, still smiling.

Cho narrowed her eyes in mock
disgust.� �HARRY!� she scolded
playfully.� �You are so sick!�

�And you�re so beautiful, Love,�
Harry said earnestly, touching her cheek once more.

The Ravenclaw�s smile changed from
laughter to bashfulness all of a sudden.�
She lightly hit his chest with the back of her hand, and decided to keep
it there when she felt his heart beat.�
�You�always say that, Harry,� she said, shyly, unable to keep the pink
from rising to all her cheeks, it seemed.

�I always mean it, Cho,� he nearly
whispered, brushing the corner of her mouth with his finger as he stared into
her eyes.� Cho�s smile widened a little
more, giving him a little more to touch.�
�So�did you do it too?� Harry asked.

Cho had completely forgotten what they
were talking about as she got lost in the caressing of her cheek.� �What...too?� she asked.

Harry snorted.� �Did you have a go at yourself while I was
gone?� Dobby didn�t peek in on you when
you were inside your bed hangings.� He said
he only heard you cry on occasion.� And
he was nervous wreck when he told me you�kissed McLaggen,� he added with
disdain.� �But didn�t get any reports of
you pleasuring my body while I was
away.�

The Ravenclaw shook her head at
her assailant and curved her lips in annoyance.�
�He scared Cormac half to death that night�and me too,� she
admitted.� �But no, I didn�t�take care of
any needs of MY body while you were away.�
Now when you came back, however�� she said, then blushed.

The Boy Hero kept his smile as he
continued to touch her cheek.� �I must
say, I�m a right jealous��

Cho rolled her eyes, though she
kept her smile as well.� �Of Cormac?� Honestly, Harry, how long has it been
now?� You don�t have too��

�No, Love,� Harry interrupted
her.� �I mean of your hands, touching
what belongs to me.�� He then released
her cheek and took her hand from his chest before kissing it gently.� Cho hated that she was more than likely red
in the face.� But that didn�t stop the
Ravenclaw from pulling her hand out of his and placing it gently back on his
chest, back on his beating heart.� She
wasn�t ready to let go of that at the moment, and had no shame of going back to
it as Harry�s last five words echoed in her mind, echoing the sentiment.�

They fell silent in their private
bed, in their private room, in their private world, and everything was
wonderful for the Ravenclaw.� If she
could just get that slight stinging in her chest to subside, however�

�I can�t wait to kiss you again,�
Harry said suddenly, smiling lightly as his eyes shifted from her eyes to her
lips.

Damn him; now the stinging in her
chest was accompanied by the tingling in her lips.� �You�re so sure you will someday, aren�t
you?� Cho forced her smile to say.�
Forced, because the Ravenclaw remembered her promise to herself while he
was gone that if he only came back, he would never have to beg for a kiss from
her.� The annoying tingling in her lips
reminded her of that.� She remembered how
she promised herself that she would do whatever he wanted, if he was only back
in her arms.� The stinging in her chest
reminded her of that.�

Harry watched her.� His green eyes seeping down into her soul as
the corner of his lips held the tiniest, most confident smile she�d ever
seen.� �Yes,� he nearly whispered.

The seventh year lay there in
front of Harry, feeling his heart beating against the back of her hand.� It would be so easy to ease that hand up to
his cheek and pull him even closer for a kiss.�
It would be so easy to kiss him; so easy to pull the covers up over
their heads and allow herself to be kissed into oblivion.� And just kissed; Cho being sure that Harry
would sacrifice sex just to taste her lips, her mouth, her tongue.� To give him what he�s been wanting and not
just because of some horrible event.� And
no one would know.� It would just be him
and her�as it always seemed to be when they were together.� Just their little secret.� They had a lot of those.� And his lips did taste so sweet�

But you would know, Cho, a voice in her mind said a million miles
away.

The stinging in her chest, turned
into the stinging needles in her chest.�
But the Ravenclaw was grateful for the needles, because she needed
something to give the strength not to kiss her assailant right then and there.� Quickly, and for the excuse to move her lips
to ebb away the tingling they were experiencing, the pretty confused girl
changed the subject.

�So�you were released tonight
and�your�friends let you out?� Cho asked, then cursed herself for being unable
to mention Ginny�s name again.

Harry sighed before he spoke.� �Yes, well, they�re all asleep, aren�t
they?� And�Ginny�� he said, seeming
reluctant to say the fifth year�s name as well.�
�I told her�that I was really�sore�so��

�Good, because I don�t want to
share you right now�� Cho mumbled quickly, then gasped as she realized she had
said it out loud.� Damn it!� �Oh�I�� she began,
horror-stricken and wide-eyed.� Harry
looked just as surprise as she was, except he wore a smile on his face.� ��really didn�t�mean to say that�.I
mean�BULLOCKS!� Sorry�Harry�� Cho said,
lowering her gaze to her hand on his chest, still feeling his heart beating
against her fingers.

Harry�s hand eased down to her
chin and lifted it slightly.� Cho�s brown
eyes were reluctant to look into the emerald gaze of the reluctant hero.� �Love�� Harry said, then tilted his head
toward her just enough to make her look at him.�
His smile widened when their eyes met.�
�You�don�t have to share me�right now, do you?� he said, sweetly.�

Wh-what�s that suppose to mean? Cho thought, nervously, her heart
hammering so hard against her chest suddenly, she felt sure he could hear
it.�

�Tomorrow is Monday after all,�
Harry finished.� Inwardly, Cho sighed in
relief.� Even further in, something
sank.� �As much as I�d love to hold you
until morning, I do have to get back to the Tower to make an appearance when
they all come to check on me.� But as
soon as I feel sure they are gone�� His
smile became more devious, and for some reason it eased the tension the
Ravenclaw was feeling.� �Let�s just say,
I want you to make good on your promise to send me back to Madam Pomfrey�all
morning and first period.� Sound good?�
he smiled, then leaned forward and kissed her nose.

Cho smiled brightly, hoping her
nose was crinkling to Harry�s pleasure.�
The sudden extra pull to his smile toward the area indicated that she
did it to his liking.� �Sounds
lovely.� Let�s go now then, so I may get
some rest, and you can wake me up the way I like!� Cho said and winked.

�Oh, the growling beast, then?�
Harry asked, and then leapt on the raven-haired girl, growling and biting at
her neck as she squealed with laughter.
