Was it all enough? - Year 7

Harry was livid but he didn't want Gallah to get the satisfaction of knowing it. "I don't think it's necessary to keep me out, but I do understand the need for security. I've learned enough already; I should be going sir."

Before Harry walked through the portal Gallah said, "Don't worry too much about that bill stopping you from playing Quidditch. I'm sure I'll be able to silence it."

Harry turned and said, "Don't go to too much trouble sir. I'm really not worried about it," and he walked out. Harry was really angry about not being able to go back to the department. He was going to try to anyway, but first he needed to stop at the restroom. The receptionist pointed to a slightly different colored area of the wall. Harry walked through that portal and found a hallway with restrooms. On the way back, he was about to go through the portal when he heard men talking loudly.

"You should have pushed him more on the artifacts. They have to be down there," One man whose voice sounded familiar was saying.

"He knew what he was doing up here. Potter's not as stupid as you would like to believe and no little bill is going to keep him from playing Quidditch either. You need to forget trying to discredit the boy and focus on what's important." Harry knew this was Gallah's voice. Harry had his head right against the wall.

"So, the plan is still on. Our friends will get the item back tonight as planned. And, I won't give up on Potter as easily as you," The other man said and Harry finally recognized the voice. It was Lucius Malfoy. They were going to break into the Unspeakable department. Harry had to warn them. He quickly came out of the hall and went to the floo. "Department of Mysteries Ministry of Magic" he said and the voice asked. "Identification Please," Harry responded, "Harry Potter." The voice came back, "Denied."

They had already stopped his access and Harry started to panic before he decided on one thing. He quickly said, "Department of Muggle Affairs," and felt himself being pulled into the floo. He was in the reception area and asked, "I need to see Arthur Weasley, it's an emergency." The receptionist tapped an area on the wall and in a minute Mr. Weasley was there.

"Harry! What are you doing here?"

"Mr. Weasley, can we talk in private, it's very important," Harry said quickly.

Mr. Weasley took him to his office and Harry told him the story. "I need to get a message down to them quickly."

"They'll track any message I send from here. I don't know how we can do it," Mr. Weasley said.

"How far are their offices from here?" Harry asked, still not willing to give up.

"I'm not sure since you can't walk there."

Harry thought for a minute and only had one idea. He pulled out his wand, concentrated really hard on Department of Mysteries being raided and also on Fletch and said, "Fliari Memeori" and a large silvery phoenix shot out and went through the wall.

"What was that?" Mr. Weasley asked but Harry continued and thought of himself being locked out and then on Larry and again said the spell, which caused another phoenix to fly off. Finally, he concentrated on Gallah wanting the artifacts and then on Rose and cast the spell again.

"That was a message spell. I don't know if they'll make it since I don't know how far the department is away. There's nothing else I can do until I get home," Harry said sounding depressed.

Mr. Weasley assured him that he would try to get a message to them also. After Apparating home, Harry quickly wrote a note that he hoped would get to Fletch in time and also wouldn't give away that what he had heard in case it was found.

Fletch

I've been informed that due to extra security, I can no longer come and do small errands for your group. You'll have to clean up that one room without me. You know which one, it's where I was making all the noise and you couldn't understand what I was saying. Since you are planning on having visitors tonight, I apologize for not cleaning it this morning.

Thanks again for everything.

Keep in contact.

Harry

He found Hedwig and asked her to hurry and deliver this to Fletch. Sirius wasn't around so Harry had no one to talk to about this. That evening was one of the longest he could remember. He waited up late for Sirius and ended up falling asleep on the couch. Harry filled Sirius in when he came back the next day.

"Are you sure it was Malfoy?" Sirius asked.

"Positive. I've heard his voice enough times to recognize it anywhere," Harry said pacing around feeling very helpless.

"Do you think Hedwig got there in time?" Sirius asked concerned.

"I don't know, I tried using message spells as well but I don't know if they worked."

"What's a message spell?" Sirius seemed concerned.

Harry concentrated on how worried he was about Fletch, pointed his wand at Sirius and said the spell. Sirius took a step back when the silvery phoenix came shooting at him but a second after it disappeared into his body he said, "Whoa. What was that? I felt how worried you were. Where did you learn that?"

"That's the message spell. I don't know how far it will go. The longest I've ever tried was outside of the castle and sent a message to Cho who was in her dorm. Dumbledore told me about it. I hope they made it to the department."

Sirius looked concerned. "I'm going to go and try to find out more information."

"I'll come with you," Harry said, not wanting to just sit around.

"No. Some people I may see won't want anyone with me. You attract too much attention."

Harry couldn't argue with that, but he was dreading spending another whole day here alone. He ran further than normal today and ended up keeping Mrs. Wilkins longer than normal for his lesson. He was getting ready to eat supper when three owls came in, two with notes and one with a box. Harry removed all of the notes and gave each owl, which included Hedwig some treats and water. He looked at the note Hedwig brought.

Harry

Sorry to hear about the security changes. Hopefully they will be relaxed sometime soon. Don't worry about cleaning the room we jumped right on it after some strange silvery phoenix's came in. You should have seen them; they were very impressive. We wouldn't want it to be in the shape you left it for the visitors.

I try to keep in contact.

Thanks for all your help

Fletch

Harry was happy that the message spell had reached them. He quickly opened the second note.

Visitors may not be limited to the office. Keep this safe. Trust no one. No contact.

F.

Harry quickly opened the box and heard the voices again. It was the amber orb from the department. Closing the box, the voices stopped. He wondered if the note's comment about visitors may not be limited to the office meant they might show up here. Harry looked around for a good hiding place and found one on a ledge near the rafters in the great room. He banished the box up there and walked around to make sure it couldn't be seen from anywhere. He also burned the second note. Harry wondered if he could really not trust anyone with it. His first thought was telling Sirius and Dumbledore but Fletch had trusted him with the orb and told him not to trust anyone. Harry decided not to talk about it for a while. Maybe Fletch would want it back before long and then no one would know.

Sirius didn't return until noon the next day. "You were right. Ministry security forces raided Department of Mysteries Wednesday night. It doesn't sound like they found what they were looking for so they raided the homes of many of the employees. You're friend Fletch has been taken in for further questioning."

"What do you think will happen to him?" Harry asked worried.

"Normally, I wouldn't think much. So, he took a couple items home to work on. But, it sounds like the Ministry is all upset about which artifacts he had. There was a raid on a pretty powerful businessman and some items were taken. The ministry cleared the businessman, but not all the items were returned. A couple of these were found in Fletch's home. That department has very wide authority so legally I don't see how he can get into much trouble. Politically that's another story. I'm guessing Gallah will push for more Ministry oversight of that department."

"My message spells got to them in time. I wonder why he didn't hide the items better."

"Did any of them seem special or very valuable to you?" Sirius asked.

Harry hated lying to Sirius but didn't want to talk about the orb. "No, there were just some charms and medallions. I told Gallah I hadn't seen anything."

"Well there's nothing we can do until we know more. I can't say I'm disappointed you won't be going back there this summer, but I know you're not happy about it. At least you're off to see Cho tomorrow."

"About that. Can I ask you something without you getting crazy and telling me I'm stupid?" Harry said and Sirius frowned at him. "Now, I'm not ready to do anything, but I would like to be prepared in case I ever am. Do you know anything about engagement rings?"

Sirius looked shocked. "Now that's not what I expected. Why would I get crazy and say you were stupid about that? And, I only know a little."

"I expected you to start yelling that I'm too young to be thinking of this and stuff like that. I'm just thinking about getting one in case I ever do get ready."

"Yes, I think you're young. But, I think you're too young to be an Auror, and I think you're too young to have your first love killed. So I won't complain even a little about this. The worst thing that could happen is it doesn't work out." Sirius hesitated and then said. "Do you have any idea what kind of ring you want? There're all kinds of magical jewelry shops."

"She likes traditional Muggle rings better. I saw her looking at them when we were in Diagon Alley. I can't go shopping for a ring there; everyone would know me, then she would find out."

Sirius thought for a minute and said, "I know. We could go to Belgium. That's a major place for jewelry. When do you want to go?"

Harry instantly got excited. "Now. It'll take my mind off of everything here. We just have to be back by noon tomorrow," then he thought of something, "If we find one I like, how will we pay? I don't have much Muggle money."

"Gringotts can handle it. The store would contact them and they would arrange it. As with everything at Gringotts, there will be a processing fee, but it's better than carrying a lot of Muggle money. Go pack and we'll leave in a few minutes."

After changing into Muggle clothes, the pair Apparated off to the side of a small hotel that Sirius had heard of before. Sirius had mentioned there wasn't a large wizarding presence in Belgium so they don't have facilities setup just for wizards, but this hotel was aware of their world. The two wizards checked into rooms and walked to the business district.

Harry felt comfortable in the Muggle world and since Sirius was on the run so long, he felt comfortable just about anywhere. They found a street with many jewelry shops and Harry decided he wanted a diamond.

When they entered a large store, Harry was glad that it didn't have many customers. A lady who seemed to be in her mid thirties with short brown hair came over and asked Sirius if he needed any help. "Not me, but Harry here is looking for an engagement ring." The lady looked at Harry, frowned and said she would be right back.

Instead of that lady coming back, a young girl came over, one that couldn't be more than nineteen. "I'm sorry, Miss Ella got called away. My name is Elis may I can help you?"

Harry knew why the first lady left. She didn't think he would be spending much money and wasn't worth her time. This really didn't bother him since Elis seemed nice. "I'm looking for an engagement ring, and would like a diamond." Elis started saying they had some nice ones in a case off to the side but when Harry looked in, they were all very small, nothing like what he wanted. "Oh, no. I had in mind something more like the ones over here," he said, directing Elis to a case with very nice rings in it.

"Sir, these rings range from $20,000 to $35,000." Elis said carefully not wanting to offend Harry.

Harry calculated this in his head. If he spent $35,000 in Muggle money, that would take the rest of his first year Quidditch salary, but he would have all of this year's salary left. "That won't be a problem." Harry said and saw the girl's eyes light up. Elis had been showing Harry a few different styles, and he had it narrowed down to the three he liked best.

Harry had noticed the first lady kept looking over at them. Elis must have noticed it as well because she said, "Excuse me, Miss Ella wants me." Elis left and went into an office with the older woman.

Instead of Elis returning, Miss Ella had come back. "I'm sorry, that phone call lasted longer than I expected. I see you have excellent taste. These are stunning pieces."

"Where's Elis?" Harry asked, now annoyed at this woman.

"She went to check on other customers."

Harry looked at Sirius who said, "I'm afraid we'll have to leave then. We were comfortable working with Elis. Thank you." Sirius started moving to the door and Harry quickly followed. No sooner had they gotten outside than an older man came after them.

The man introduced himself as the manager and assured them that Elis would take care of anything they needed. Sirius and Harry went back to the case where Elis was waiting and blushing badly. "Thank you. I never get to make any big sales," she said softly.

"You were the one helping us, you deserve it," Harry said. Harry decided on an emerald cut ring and asked Elis to put it on since she was close to Cho's size. "What do you think Sirius?"

"It looks amazing Harry. I'm really proud that you're able to do this. You should have seen James trying to choose a ring for Lily. He had no clue at all." Sirius chuckled at the thought.

When Harry told Elis he'd take the ring, she began asking about payment. Sirius spoke up and mentioned a transfer from Gringotts. The girl looked confused and stated she needed to get the manager.

The man came over quickly. "Elis mentioned you wanted a transfer from Gringotts, is that correct?" Sirius said yes. "Please let me make a call, it is not often that we deal with them. What name is on the account?"

Sirius said "Harry Potter." The manager left but Elis stayed with them asking about Cho and if they were enjoying Belgium.

After a few minutes, the manager returned. "They want some positive identification before transferring this amount. The person on the phone told me to look at your forehead and describe what I see." The manager seemed confused but Harry and Sirius kind of chuckled. Harry lifted up his hair and showed the scar to the manager who left but returned in short order. "Everything is taken care of Mr. Potter. In fact, they said they would discount the processing fee on this transaction since you are such a valued customer."

When everything was done, Elis thanked them both and handed Harry the small box that he put in his jacket pocket. The manager stopped them at the door and asked, "Would you like someone to escort you back to your hotel for security?"

Sirius looked at Harry and said, "I think we can handle ourselves. Thanks." The pair had a nice meal before walking back to the hotel to sit in the small bar of the hotel for a few hours after eating, just talking about nothing important. Harry thought it was really nice being out with Sirius like this and planned on doing it more often.

They left early in the morning and walked around the hotel until no one could be seen and Apparated home. There was a note from Hermione when they got back.

Harry

I came to see you yesterday but Winky said you and Sirius went to Belgium. Is there something happening there? You're not doing anything dangerous are you?

What happened at the ministry? The Daily Prophet had an article about Department of Mysteries being raided. Were you there?

Write me back soon, I'm worried.

Love

Hermione

Harry thought she worried too much but was actually glad she did. He found a parchment and wrote out a reply.

Hermione.

I'm sorry we missed you. Nothing was wrong; we just took a quick personal trip. I'm not doing anything dangerous at all, I promise.

The Minister of Education wanted to talk to me. He said they were thinking about a bill that would prevent any student from playing professional Quidditch. I think he was just trying to get me worried. Then he said they were tightening security at the ministry and I couldn't go back to Department of Mysteries anymore.

I found out the next day that they had been raided, looking for some artifacts. I didn't know anything about them. I am worried about my friends who work there.

I'm off to spend the weekend at Cho's. Maybe you could come over next week since I won't be going to the ministry anymore.

Don't worry about me so much.

Harry.

Harry found Hedwig and sent her to deliver the note. He spent the rest of the day getting ready to go to Cho's. He kept asking Winky how he looked and what he should pack. Winky seemed to get annoyed with him by early afternoon. "Sir is looking fine. Winky has work to do."

Sirius kept giving him a hard time about being so nervous. Harry was glad when the time to leave finally came so he could get this over with.

Harry Apparated on the side of the Cho's house and quickly walked around to the front. It was a nice two-story home with a very large yard, at least three times the size of the yard at Privet Drive. There were four cars in the drive and wide street in front of the house. He stood there looking around at the other homes. This looked like a really nice Muggle neighborhood, much nicer than Privet Drive.

When he finally turned to knock on the door, it came open before he got a chance to knock and Cho came out. "It's about time you got here," she said, giving him a big hug and kiss. "Get in here," she said pulling him inside.

The home seemed much more open than the Dursleys. It was obviously much nicer but it was still clear that it was a Muggle home. Harry sat his bag inside the door and continued being drug into the living room where there were about ten people sitting with an Asian-language TV show on. Mr. Chang got up when he noticed them coming in.

"Hello Harry. We're glad you could make it. Welcome."

Shaking his hand, Harry said, "Thank you Mr. Chang. I appreciated the invitation."

Harry was being introduced to everyone; there were both sets of grandparents and Cho's Aunt and Uncle. Cho's older sister Chiang and her husband were there with their six-year-old daughter Hailan, and their little Siamese cat named Ming. Harry realized he never knew Cho had a sister.

Harry bent down to pet the cat and her sister said, "she doesn't like boys so be careful."

However, the cat sniffed and then started rubbing Harry's leg. He picked the cat up and it started purring loudly when he began petting it. Cho just beamed and Harry sat the cat back down. It didn't move far from his legs.

There was a lot of small talk and then Mr. Chang spoke, "Cho said you were working at the Ministry. With your sports contract, I didn't think you'd need to work this summer."

"I enjoy the work sir. It's a very interesting department."

"Cho mentioned something about a department being raided yesterday. Will that have any effect on you?" he asked.

"Yes sir, I'm afraid it will. That was the department I had been working for. The Minister of Education told me they had to tighten security so I won't be able to go back for the rest of the summer."

Cho spoke up quickly. "Well, I'm glad he can't go back. That's a very secretive department and he needs to enjoy his summer," she squeezed his arm.

Chiang said, "Cho says you're a big celebrity, especially in France," sounding unimpressed.

"I think Cho exaggerates," Harry replied, smiling at his girlfriend.

Her father jumped in. "Nonsense. Chiang, you know what her commission was for getting Harry his contract was.

"Chiang, how old did you say Hailan was?" Harry asked trying to change the subject. He thought that for her to have a six-year-old daughter, she must have been very young when she got married.

They talked about Hailan for a little bit and then Cho grabbed Harry and said, "C'mon, let's take a walk."

They were just starting down the street when Harry asked, "Why didn't you mention your sister before? I didn't even know you had one."

Cho frowned and said, "We don't get along that well. She's so much older and wasn't happy when they found out I was a witch that we're just not close." Cho perked up and said, "I'm so glad you're here. What really happened at the ministry?"

Harry told her the story and she said, "Do you think they'd really pass that bill? You can't quit playing."

"I don't think they will. If so, I'll finish at some private school or something. I'm not going to quit."

They had a nice long walk and when they got back, the women were in the kitchen cooking. Cho went in to help and left Harry with the other men. They were watching some Asian western show. "Would you like us to change this Harry?"

"No sir. I haven't seen TV for so long that just watching is fine. Maybe I should have been trying to learn Chinese instead of French," Harry added.

During one of the commercials Mr. Chang said, "Cho tells me you two are partners in some small investments. I think that's a very wise idea. Never too early to start investing for the future."

"I would have never thought of it sir, it was all Cho's idea, but I thought it was a great one when she told me. She did an amazing job with my contract and I heard the other player she manages is very happy as well."

Cho's grandfather spoke in pretty good English as well, "How long have you been seeing my granddaughter?"

Harry thought for a minute and said, "Sometime early last school year sir. I can't say exactly when. It just kind of happened. We've know each other for a few years and just got closer over time."

The old man talked in Chinese to the others for a minute, they were all saying things Harry couldn't understand and then her grandfather spoke again. "She spoke of you when she was in her sixth year at school as well. Spoke of you often."

"I didn't know that sir. We were friends at that time."

"Now, this is your last year of school?"

"Yes sir, my seventh year."

"What will you do after that?" The old man was clearly grilling Harry.

"I haven't decided for sure. I really like the sport I play but sometimes having everybody know who I am is annoying. I also really like the department at the Ministry I've worked at for a couple summers. They've said I can work for them when they get out. Many people want to work there so I'm fortunate to already have contacts."

"Playing your sport would make you a lot more money wouldn't it?"

"Oh yes. The Ministry is notorious for not paying well. I'm fortunate enough to be ok on money and to be able to do something I enjoy for my job."

There was more Chinese and the old man continued. "What about a family? Have you given that any thought?"

Harry hadn't really thought about a family, only marriage. "I've thought about marriage, but haven't thought about children yet. I know I want some one day, that's for sure, but not for quite some time."

More Chinese and then. "I don't know much about wizards, but my granddaughter also says you're the most powerful wizard she's ever known. She says you've battled the most evil wizard a few times and never lost."

"I think Cho is mistaken about me being powerful. I have fought an evil wizard a few times and since I'm still alive, I've never lost. However, each time I had help to be able to get away."

More Chinese and the old man got up and headed towards the kitchen. When he got back, Harry got up and went to the kitchen. All the women were speaking Chinese and stopped when he walked in. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Harry offered.

Cho got up smiling and came over to give him a kiss and said, "I think we can handle everything. Go back to the living room."

After sitting down, he said, "Mr. Chang. How was it when you found out that Cho was a witch? I lived with my Aunt and Uncle and they weren't pleased."

Mr. Chang looked at him for a moment and said, "It was difficult at first. We had always thought something was odd. Things seemed to happen when she was angry or scared. Once we found out, after the initial period of denial, things made sense. All of the family treated her differently at first, but have come to see she is exactly like the rest of us with an extra gift. We are very proud of her now and it has opened our eyes to another whole world. I'm sure your Aunt and Uncle were the same."

"Oh no sir they weren't. They hate me and anything to do with magic. I could only come home from school for the summer and they would lock all of my schoolbooks in a cupboard and forbid me to even mention the word magic in their home. I haven't spoken to them since I was hurt and spent the summer at the school."

"Cho told us the story of why you were famous even as a child. Even though your Aunt and Uncle didn't treat you as well as they could have, they did take you in. I'm sure you will work it out with them. It may just take time."

Harry just looked at him for a minute and said, "I suppose you're right sir. Thank you."

Mrs. Chang came out and said diner was ready. Harry followed all the other men into the dining room and looked at all the food. It was amazing what they accomplished without magic. Harry wished he had grown up in a family like this. The meal was great and even though most of the conversations were in Chinese, Harry could tell they were happy conversations.

After the meal, Cho suggested that she and Harry clean up and the others go on outside to sit and talk. With the others out of the house, Cho used her wand, and Harry used wandless magic to make quick work of the cleanup. Once they were done cleaning up, instead of going straight outside, Cho kept Harry in the kitchen and kissed him deeply. "They all really like you Harry, especially my grandmothers. They say you just feel right. My grandfather came in after talking to you and said he would disown me if I let you get away. I think that made Chiang a little mad because grandfather didn't like her husband at first."

"I think your family is great Cho. I wish I had grown up in a family like this."

"Even my sister likes you. She says that any boy that Ming likes must be ok. C'mon let's go out there."

They were sitting outside on a very clear night, just looking at the stars. Her grandparents were smoking. Then her sister's husband spoke up. "Harry. Cho said you've learned quite a lot of things that they didn't teach in her school. Can you show us any?"

"Diang, Harry can't use his wand until after his birthday. He'll get into trouble," Cho said angrily.

"That's ok Cho; I can still do little things." Harry smiled. "Tell them about Dobby and I'll try something."

Cho looked confused and started talking about how weird Dobby was and Harry concentrated and cast the bind spell on Cho's mouth using wandless magic. She couldn't say anything. All of the others started speaking in Chinese and then Harry released the spell. Cho hit him first thing and said, "That's another thing. He doesn't need a wand for some magic. I've never heard of any other wizard who can do that."

Mr. Chang was smiling and said, "I wish you could teach us all how to do that. As Chinese men, we could get great use out of being able to keep our women quiet." Everyone laughed at this.

After a lot more talking, it was getting late and everyone was going to bed. Cho led Harry upstairs and to a sofa in a small room. "Sorry about the accommodations Harry. I didn't know my sister was coming. My father allows me to stay with you but I wouldn't want to ask for you to sleep in my room."

"That's ok Cho. This is fine, really. Remember, I slept in a cupboard for many years. I'll see you in the morning," he kissed her.

"I love you Harry." Cho said and gave him a big hug.

Harry slept really well that night and was woken up by the sounds of giggling. When he put on his glasses, he saw Cho, her sister and mother standing in the doorway smiling. Ming, the cat that didn't like boys was curled up next to him still asleep. They laughed and let him get cleaned up before coming down. After breakfast, Mr. Chang came to him and said, "Harry. I need to get something at the market, would you like to come along?"

Harry knew this really wasn't a request and that he was supposed to go along, "Of course sir."

They rode in near silence and Mr. Chang bought a few things at the market and on the way back, he started talking, "Can I ask what your plans with my daughter are?"

"Sir? I don't actually understand what you mean."

"I mean do you intend to marry her?" he said flatly.

"Well I'd like to sir. I haven't asked her or anything but I think that I would like to spend my life with her."

"If you do decide to ask her, you have her mother's and my blessing."

"Thank you sir. Does it bother you that I'm younger than her?"

"Of course not. I was one year younger than her mother and we got married when we were both still in school. The first year after she graduated was difficult. I hated being away from her. But, after we made it through that it has been wonderful."

"Please don't tell Cho this, but my godfather and I went to Belgium and I bought an engagement ring for Cho. I haven't planned on when or how I would ask her, but I wanted to be ready if it ever felt right. Is that ok with you?" Harry asked nervously, still feeling strange talking to her father about this. It was weird enough talking to Sirius about it.

Mr. Chang smiled broadly at him. "You could ask her today and it would be ok with me. I've never seen her happier and we all think you would treat her well. May I ask what kind of ring you got her? She's always wanted a traditional ring, not a magical one."

"I got a diamond sir. Not magical at all." Harry was glad he had done this correctly.

"My mother offered to give you her ring to give to Cho, but she will be please when she finds out you picked one out on your own. I won't say a word to Cho about this."

"Thank you. If I was out of school, I would have asked her by now."

"Don't think of it as being in school. Think of it as your job for the next year and sometimes that job takes you away for a few months at a time."

They got back and Cho quickly pulled Harry away and asked how it went. "I'm not sure he really approves of me dating you while I'm still in school." Harry tried to keep a look of disappointment and Cho started to look horrified. Then Harry smiled and said, "It was fine. No big deal." Cho hit him and they went back with the others.

Mr. Chang announced he would be taking everyone to diner in London that evening. They all got dressed and Harry wore one of the new outfits Cho had picked out. He and Cho rode with her sister and husband. They all parked and went inside a nice, newer restaurant and were told it would be a few minutes before they could be seated. They went over to the bar area to wait. Everyone had some wine and Cho and Harry noticed a young couple pointing at them and talking. Harry asked Cho to make sure he was dressed ok, which he was. After a couple minutes, even her sister noticed the other couple and asked about it.

When their entire group was wondering about it, the couple came over and acted nervous but the girl said, "You're Harry Potter, France's seeker. May we have your autograph please?" then started giggling. Harry turned red but quickly signed the paper she had and tried to back away behind Cho.

She just beamed and said to her relatives, "They must be witches. I told you he was famous." During diner, another couple came up and asked for an autograph that Harry politely gave them.

Harry and Cho were riding back with her sister and husband. Her sister started talking. "I can't believe those people just came up to you like that."

"Me either. I think they're all mental," Harry replied honestly.

"Harry, you're a Quidditch star. Imagine if we had gone to a wizarding restaurant in Paris. You should get used to it," Cho said trying to get the idea through Harry's head.

They sat around and talked for a few more hours once they got home and then everyone went to bed. Later in the night, Cho came in and said, "I just want to sleep here close to you." She snuggled up on the couch with him and went to sleep.

They both woke up to find her sister and mother giggling at them. Cho said something in Chinese and they both left, still giggling. Cho kissed him and went to her room to get cleaned up. Harry did the same in the spare bathroom.

Harry stayed around until early afternoon. He really liked Cho's family, and being felt very comfortable with them. He said goodbye to everyone and Cho walked him to the front. She hugged him tight before saying, "I'm really glad you came. Everyone really likes you."

"I think your family's great. I was really nervous at first, but they made me feel comfortable. I guess I won't see you until the opening party at the store."

"I'm not sure. The twins are really busy, but I don't have that much to do right now. I've taken care of all the permits and everything so until they start making some money I'm not that busy."

They finished saying goodbye, and Harry Apparated home. He was shocked to find someone besides Sirius in his house. "Professor Dumbledore! What are you doing here?"
