A Cho Chang Story

It was a dreary September day in London. The trees' leaves were beginning to change color and fall gracefully to the ground, while the rain pouring from overhead left many of the city's people sheltered in their homes. The only citizens out in the whole of England on this day were the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. All of them were traveling their personal distances with family and close friends to say their goodbyes at King's Cross Station and depart for Hogwarts Castle, arriving there late in the night.

Everyone arriving at King's Cross seemed to be having a delightful time, knowing that soon enough they would be back at the castle, their true domain, but one girl there seemed even more dreary than the weather. This person was Cho Chang, a current fifth year and member of the Ravenclaw House and Ravenclaw Quidditch Team as Seeker. She seemed absolutely miserable, but, naturally, everyone knew why. Cedric Diggory hadn't arrived yet. Everyone in the entire school knew that the two-year couple was very close, but there was one thing nobody knew about them. Except for Cho and Cedric of course. This reason made it even harder for Cho to wait for him to arrive.

It was just a few weeks before when they had brought their relationship to a higher level. The night of the Quidditch World Cup, neither of them went to the match, complaining to their parents of feeling ill. Both of them stayed behind, in Cedric's tent to spend some quality time alone with each other. Little did they know that on that very night, there were both going to lose their virginity to each other. Cho, thought, didn't regret it one bit. She knew Cedric was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with and she couldn't not admit that that night with Cedric was the most amazing experience of her life, but now she missed him. She couldn't wait to see his clear, calm face, his beautiful blue-gray eyes, and that sexy smile of his that made many girls' knees weak again.

Cho waited as patiently as she could, staring out the window and looking at the dreadful storm outside. She was trying so hard to get her mind off of Cedric, she became so engrossed in the downpour and didn't notice Cedric entering her compartment.

"Hey there baby..." Cedric said, sitting down beside her and grabbing her shoulders with comfortable strength. Cho jumped slightly.

"Oh Ced!" she exclaimed, turning around and smiling broadly at him. "Cedric, I've missed you so, so much."

"And I you...How could I not? I love you, and ever since what happened, well I love you even more than I ever dreamt possible," Cedric said, smiling.

"Oh, Cedric...I love you too..."Cho said close to tears of happiness. "You haven't told anyone what happened between us, right?"

"Nope...it is our secret and it always will be," Cedric replied calmly. Little did the couple know, the whole school would know in a matter of a few months, even if no one was told...
