Was it all enough? - Year 7

"We don't have to research the orb any more. I'll do it by myself from now on." Harry started to box the orb up.

"Nonsense. I just fainted, no big deal." Hermione didn't want Harry to work with the object by himself. Pulling herself together, she said, "After you get back from vacation we'll split our time between it and elemental magic. Take the book on vacation and when you actually leave your room read up on it." She tried to smile.

"Are you sure you're ok? You're looking at me weird," Harry said with worry in his eyes.

"I'm sure. I'm embarrassed enough," Hermione stated. She could still feel the magic all around him. Trying to change the subject she said, "Are you looking forward to your birthday party? You'll finally be of age."

Harry didn't want to change the subject but also didn't want Hermione to feel uncomfortable. "Are you sure you want to come to the party Friday? I'd understand if you don't."

"I wouldn't miss your party Harry. I totally ok with Ron and his little woman," she said with a flick of her wrist.

"Just the other day you were saying that you might not make it," Harry said confused.

"Women can change their minds. You have so much to learn about us. You were the one telling me to find someone who deserved me. I really don't care what he does. You're my best friend and I want to be there. By the way, where did you say you were taking Cho next week?"

"I didn't, it's all a secret. And, a better secret than Belgium was," he said smiling.

Hermione laughed. "You're leaving that little secret behind aren't you? Wouldn't want you to make any hasty decisions in the heat of the moment." Hermione secretly hoped he would suddenly admit to his feelings for her.

"I don't plan on giving it to her yet. I have to make sure I could handle it if she doesn't want it first. That would be horrible." Harry got a terrified look on his face.

Hermione laughed again. "You're kidding right? I'm surprised she hasn't asked you already. I don't see her willingly letting her hooks out of you. C'mon let's get back to business on the orb; I just don't think I'll be touching anything again today. I can't believe that the two best students in school can't figure this thing out." Hermione was still thinking about Harry's feelings.

"Maybe the top student in school and her good friend. I'm not close to the top," Harry corrected her.

"You're my best friend Harry. Ok, the top student in school and the most powerful wizard she knows. That's as far as I'll go," she smiled. "Ok, you say that when you pick up the orb, it quits talking. Do you think it really quits or maybe you just can't hear it as well? Try picking it up, closing your eyes and concentrating really hard on only it." Harry sat down and picked up the orb. The voice stopped. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate. "Don't think about anything else, just relax." Hermione was saying in a calm voice. She moved behind him and began rubbing his shoulders saying. "Don't think about anything but the voice."

After just a minute, Harry said, "I can't think about anything but you touching me, so if you want me to figure this out, you better quit."

Harry really felt relaxed and thought he was hearing the voice again. It was a single voice and clearer. He really tried to focus and then heard a sound from the other room. Quickly he threw the orb into the box and just got it shut before Sirius walked into the room. Harry looked guilty but he noticed that Hermione just looked annoyed. "Hey you two. What have you been up to?" Sirius asked sounding very happy.

"We were... um...we," Harry was stammering, but Hermione spoke up calmly, "We were just working on something for a school project. We'll finish it after Harry gets back."

"You're supposed to be having fun, not doing schoolwork," Sirius said and went to drop off his bag.

Harry quickly banished the box to the hiding place. He turned to Hermione and said, "I thought I was hearing something clearer just before."

Sirius came back down and Harry asked, "So, what's going on out there? Any news?"

Sirius looked between Harry and Hermione and said, "Something's strange. Voldemort's keeping a very low profile and only isolated things are happening. I wish we still had a spy in there. I think he's trying a different strategy this time."

Harry noticed that Sirius didn't seem as concerned about this as he expected, "Um Sirius. You don't seem too bothered about Voldemort?"

"I'm very bothered about it. It's just..." Sirius stopped for a minute and said, "I may have found something that I thought was lost for good," he kind of smiled while saying this.

"So, are you going to tell us what?" Hermione asked quickly.

Sirius grinned again and said, "Hopefully, when I'm sure I really found it."

Hermione stayed for just a little talking to Harry and Sirius and went home a bit early, promising to be at Harry's party on Friday.

As soon as Hermione got home, she kept trying to replay all the visions and feelings she had felt earlier when she had a connection to Harry. It had seemed to go on for hours but Harry had said it was only seconds. She couldn't get the feeling of just how powerful he was out of her head and wondered if Harry had any idea. These thoughts kept her awake well into the night.

Harry's birthday party was going to be in an area of the Leaky Cauldron. This was a more convenient place for his friends to meet. Harry was finally going to be of age, which meant he could legally use his wand for magic. Ron had already passed this milestone and it was a big deal for his friend. Harry didn't think it was such a big thing; he was just looking forward to going away with Cho for a week.

Cho had come over earlier so they could arrive together. "Are you excited about your birthday Harry?"

"I'm more excited about going away with you," he said hugging her.

Sirius spoke up while the couple was hugging, "I think you're going to like the place he picked out Cho. Harry has never been anyplace like it before. It's great you two can go do this."

"So, where exactly is it that he's taking me?" she asked, trying to get some hints.

"Oh, I'll never tell. He's of age now and I don't want him practicing Auror spells on me."

"I want to give you your present now Harry." She handed him a large box with a bow on it. Harry opened it and it was an expensive looking outfit. He held it up and examined it. "Do you like it?" she asked expectantly.

Harry did like it. It wasn't like anything else he had, it was more modern. "This is really nice Cho. I suppose you want me to wear it tonight."

She smiled and said, "See Sirius, he is starting to learn." Harry went upstairs and put on the outfit, which went with his dragon-hide boots. He actually liked the outfit a lot. It reminded him of what older guys would wear when they were in Diagon Alley at night.

When Harry came back down Sirius spoke first. "There's no way I would think you had just turned seventeen. Cho, you have really good taste."

She smiled and said, "He does clean up pretty nice."

"I don't want you to open my gift until you get on your vacation. It's for both of you." Sirius said handing Harry a box. "I'll be just a little late to your party. And, since I'll be the oldest one there by far, I probably won't stay late."

"Shouldn't we be going Cho?" Harry asked.

"You can't arrive too early to your own party Harry. We've told the Innkeeper he can go ahead and serve our friends and just put it on our bill."

"There won't be too many people will there?"

"Just our close friends, don't worry about it. Are you sure you won't tell me where we're going next week?" she pleaded

"You told me to surprise you, so that's what I'm doing. I hope you packed your snowshoes," Harry replied smiling.

"Then we'll spend the whole week inside by the fire. You know I don't like the cold. Fine, we can go to the party. It will take my mind off of the trip."

Harry and Cho apparated to the Leaky Cauldron and were shown to the area in back that Tom, the Innkeeper had reserved for them. Harry saw George, Fred, Ron and Ginny Weasley. It looked like all the boys had brought dates. Harry also saw Cho's good friends from Hogwarts. "Harry!" Ron yelled and came over with Parvati closely in tow. Cho headed over to her see good friends.

"Hi Ron, Parvati." Harry said, "I'm glad you came."

"Hope you don't mind, we brought Padma along as well," Parvati stated. "I really like your outfit. It makes you look much older."

"Thanks. Cho got it for me. How long have you been here Ron?" Harry asked.

"Long enough for a couple of drinks. What do you think of the twin's dates? Owning a popular store has its advantages," Ron said and was quickly hit by Parvati.

Harry looked at the two girls with the twins and noticed they were twins as well. Two tall long-legged blondes. Harry was amazed at how Fred and George always seemed to easily meet and talk to pretty girls.

Harry hugged Ginny and asked. "How do the twins always get the girls?"

Ginny smiled and said, "Beats me. If they saw them around the house, they'd be running away." She laughed before saying. "Thanks for inviting me Harry. I wasn't sure if you would."

"Why wouldn't you be sure? You're one of my best friends. I'd rather have you here than most of the others," Harry said.

Ginny blushed and said, "Ron said you're going on a vacation next week. Can you tell me where you're going?"

Harry looked at her and said, "Ok, you'll be the only other one besides Sirius that knows and you have to promise not to tell anyone. We're going to a little island in the South Pacific. Sirius says it's exactly like the place Cho's always dreamed of going. She doesn't even know yet."

Ginny looked at him wishfully and said, "Why can't more guys be like you?"

"Hey, I'll swap. They can have my life pretty much anytime," Harry responded and then the twins joined their conversation. After talking to them for a couple minutes, he went to Cho and her friends.

Harry came up and hugged Cho and then Kelly said, "Nice outfit! I almost didn't recognize you for a minute. It doesn't look like Cho's robbing the cradle tonight."

"Thanks Kelly. I see you're as nice to me as always," Harry replied acting like the comments had hurt.

"Oh, you know we love you. So, where are you taking her next week? You can tell us," she pried.

"Nope, not telling. Only Sirius knows," Harry said and tried to pay attention to the conversations but was looking around.

"Earth to Harry," Kelly kidded after trying to get his attention for a couple minutes. "Are you looking for someone more interesting than us?"

Harry made something up. "Sirius should be here before long."

"Don't believe him," Cho jumped in. "He's looking for his 'best friend' Hermione. She's actually got him studying over the summer. She probably spends more time with him than I do," Cho pouted.

"But not the same quality time that we have," Harry said and kissed her.

"You better watch out for those bookish quiet ones Cho. They keep all those desires built up inside." One of her other friends added.

Suddenly Harry saw Sirius. "See, there's Sirius. I'll be back in a bit." Harry quickly left the girls and went to his godfather who had changed clothes and brought another friend Remus Lupin.

"Professor Lupin. I didn't know you were coming." Harry said happily.

"Sirius came and drug me out. He said we might not stay long since everyone will be so much younger. He promised to take me to some places where we may fit in better. So, you're off to the beach tomorrow."

"Yes, I can't wait. I've never been before." Harry was talking with the two of them when he saw them staring at something over his shoulder and then heard.

"So schoolboy. You're finally of age. Don't expect me to go so easy on you anymore." Harry turned around and saw the chaser from the French National Quidditch team.

"Kristi! How did you know about this?" Harry said staring at her. She looked amazing. Instead of dressed in black, she had a deep blue dress on. It was just as tight as normal but it gave her a totally different look.

She hugged him and said, "My manager mentioned something about it and I didn't mind canceling my plans for tonight so I came."

Harry was still staring at her until he heard Lupin say, "Harry, close your mouth and introduce us."

Sirius spoke up before Harry could. "Nice to see you again Kristi." Sirius shook her hand lightly.

Then Harry jumped in. "And this was another teacher, Remus Lupin."

Lupin stepped forward and took her hand and said. "France's top chaser and best looking woman in the game."

Kristi smiled and said, "Nice friends Harry. Escaped convict and a werewolf. This party may not be so bad. " All the Weasley boys came over to talk with Kristi. She handled it well. Harry thought she must be very used to this. After a few minutes, he was standing next to Kristi and she messed his hair and said, "I see your little girlfriend has started dressing you. Tell her I totally approve."

"Tell me yourself Kristi." Cho had come over with her friends behind her.

"Cho. I see you've been busy teaching him the ropes," Kristi said and then hugged Cho.

"Well if I was going to be seen in public with him when he wasn't playing Quidditch, I had to do something." Cho joked back. The other guys standing around were in shock that the two women were getting along.

"Interesting place you chose to have his party at," Kristi said eyeing the rather drab surroundings of the Leaky Cauldron.

"It was Harry's choice. I would have picked one of the clubs down the street but he insisted," Cho said squeezing Harry's hand.

Harry backed away and saw the twins point at something behind Harry. He turned around and almost dropped his drink. Coming toward him was a pretty girl in a nice form fitting dress with high heels. Her hair was pulled back and she had a green necklace around her neck. She walked right up to Harry and gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him. "Happy birthday Harry."

He didn't say anything for a moment, and just looked. "I'll take that as a compliment," she joked.

"Hermione. You look amazing. Ron's going to flip. Parvati's going to flip more," Harry finally said.

"Hi Hermione. You look really nice tonight. Did you come alone?" Cho added.

"Thanks Cho. It's nice to get out. I met a friend just before coming in, he'll be right here," she said and just then a huge figure came into their area carrying a large box.

"Happy Birthday Harry! Got your cake right here." It was Hagrid.

"Hagrid! I didn't think you would make it. You never responded to the invitation."

"Well, didn't know if I would be around or not. Been traveling a bit. Secret business. What do you think of Hermione here? She's something huh?" Hagrid asked.

"She's always been something Hagrid. You know that," Harry said.

Hermione smiled and started talking to Sirius and Lupin.

Harry and Cho were talking to her friends when Ron came over without Parvati. "Hey Ron, where's the wife?" One of Cho's friends asked.

"Having second thoughts about Hermione now?" Cho asked playfully.

Ron looked angry. "No, I'm not having second thoughts. Parvati and her sister are just in the bathroom." Ron pulled Harry away. "What's up with the way Hermione's dressed?"

Harry laughed and said, "What do you mean? She wears a lot less than that when we go running?"

Ron looked shocked, "You're going running with her. Where? How often?"

"Yep, we run almost every time she comes over, at least twice a week. Parvati didn't seem too impressed when she saw Hermione," Harry added wondering what Ron's new girlfriend thought of Hermione's outfit.

"She about flipped. Padma keeps saying Hermione's dressed like that to try and impress me. What do you think?" Ron asked sounding very interested in getting Harry's opinion.

"I think she's just trying to look nice. She says that she's totally ok with you two splitting up," Harry said a little annoyed with Ron.

Ron started to ask something but Parvati had come back and then he quickly said, "I think we're going to walk around for a while. Sorry to leave so early."

Not long after that, Sirius, Lupin, Hermione and Kristi came over. "Well Harry, these two lovely ladies are going to accompany us to a club. And, don't worry I won't be back home until tomorrow." Sirius said with a quick grin.

"How's Hermione going to get in? And, I guessed you would want to pick someone up." Harry joked.

"Hermione will have no trouble getting in," Kristi said confidently. "And, it's easier to pick up a girl if you come to the club with one."

Harry wished them all well and went back to Cho and her friends. "Where are those four going?" Cho asked.

"Leaving for another club."

"Well us Ravenclaws are about to call it a night," Kelly said.

Cho and Harry said their goodbye's to the remaining people and said they had to go make sure they were ready to leave. They quickly left for home. "Thanks for a great birthday party Cho," Harry said giving her a big hug.

"Next year I get to pick the place," she said smiling. "So, what do you want to do for the rest of the evening?"

"Well, we can enjoy ourselves here or we can leave on vacation. There's a big time difference to our destination. It's already 2:00pm there. There's a package on the bed with some appropriate clothes, so change and we'll be off," Harry said calmly

"Really? We can leave now? C'mon let's go change," Cho said getting very excited.

Cho had an idea it was a beach vacation already and the sundress Harry had got for her confirmed it. They threw the final objects into their bags, which they shrunk down for easy carrying. Sirius had made a portkey to take them to their destination so that Cho wouldn't know the final destination until they arrived. They both touched the portkey, Harry said the spell and they were off.

The change in climate was immediately evident. It was hot and humid and the smell of tropical flowers was everywhere. They had appeared at the side of a building with palm trees all around. They didn't hear many people talking so they walked around to the front. They immediately saw a beautiful blue lagoon with a jagged island on the other side. Harry couldn't believe a place like this existed and Cho was totally speechless. They were still standing there looking at the scenery when a man came over with a thick accent. "Did you two miss the boat to the hotel?"

Harry turned to him quickly and said, "I'm afraid so. We're supposed to go to the Bora Bora Lagoon Hotel."

"Oh, no problem. I'll call them and they'll send a boat right over. Have a seat if you like."

Cho was still just looking at the island and water but came back to Harry in a couple minutes. "I can't believe there's anyplace like this. We're here for a whole week, right?"

Harry was just about to answer when a small powerboat pulled up to the dock and a man said. "Bora Bora Lagoon!"

Harry and Cho quickly walked to the boat and got in. "Is this all the luggage?" the man asked. Harry assured him it was and then they just watched the water and the island on the short boat ride. Coming up to the motu where the hotel was, Harry could see the huge smile on Cho's face. Each room was its own little bure and many of them were over the water. They got off the boat at the dock and walked to the registration area.

"Ah, Mr. Potter. We've been expecting you. How was the flight?" The clerk asked.

Harry looked at Cho and said, "Much shorter than we expected."

"You have bure 19. Here's the key. If you show your bags to the porter, he will escort you to the room."

"These are all the bags we have," Harry said quickly.

The lady behind the counter smiled and said, "Ah, must be honeymooners."

They smiled without correcting the lady and followed the porter out a long dock to the final bure on the end. He showed them in and Cho was immediately drawn to the table in the middle of the room with a glass bottom looking directly into the lagoon. The porter left and they enlarged their bags and put things away. Cho just wanted to spend the evening on their porch looking out at the island. They had a light meal and went to sleep quickly.

The days were passing quickly. They spent their days lying on the beach or just on their porch in the sun. Harry had been reading the book Hermione got him for his birthday every chance he got. He didn't understand most of the theory behind elemental magic, but was excited about the results. His first successful attempt at elemental magic had caused his glass of ice water to shoot up out of his glass and land on Cho. She didn't see the humor it in so Harry kept things completely away from her.

By the end of the week, he had been able to make his water come out of the glass and then go back into it. He had also thought he had made some waves on the normally calm lagoon but couldn't be positive. He made more progress with fire and was able to make the flames on the candles in the room move around and come to the ends of his fingers. It seemed easier to ask the fire to do things. He had tried making breezes but couldn't tell if it was him or just the normal tropical breezes blowing around. Cho kept telling him it was vacation and he shouldn't be studying but since she was reading some romance novel he decided to read whatever he wanted.

They had taken some glass bottom boat rides and had seen many sharks as well as colorful fish in the lagoon. They had eaten on the island twice and Harry loved the fact that there weren't many people around.

The day before they were to leave, Harry told Cho he had made plans for the day. Around 2:00pm, Harry packed a small bag and they went to the dock where a boat was waiting. The boat took the couple went to a motu on the other end of the island that was totally uninhabited. There was nothing but sand and some palm trees. The captain unloaded a large basked and laid out a very large blanket. He then handed Harry a radio and said to call whenever they wanted to come back. Cho looked confused when the boat went away so she asked, "So, what are we doing here?"

"This is our island for the rest of the day. We've got food and wine and even some music. So, we can do anything. And I do mean anything you want here for the rest of the day, totally unbothered." Harry said with a sly smile.

"Really? No one will come around?" Cho asked and then removed her swim top. They spent the rest of the afternoon skinny dipping in the warm lagoon and making love in the sand. When is started to get dark, they lit the torches and ate supper watching the sunset over the ocean.

"Harry. This is perfect. I can't imagine being any happier," Cho said and kissed him passionately.

Harry just looked at her for a minute and said, "Really? Oh, I have one more thing for you. Close your eyes." Cho smiled and closed her eyes. Harry pulled the ring out and opened the box, holding it in front of her and said, "You can open them now." Cho opened her eyes and it took a second before the ring registered. She looked at it and then back to Harry. He looked deep into her eyes and said, "Cho. Will you marry me? No hurry, we can wait until next year if you want. I really..."

She interrupted him. "Of course I'll marry you!" She hugged him and when she pulled back, tears were in her eyes. She hadn't taken the ring yet so Harry took it and put it on her finger. Cho just stared at it for a few minutes with tears in her eyes. "I can't believe this. I love you so much," she kept saying and then hugging him. They made love again before calling for the boat to come get them. The rest of the night Cho just kept saying how happy she was.

"We can wait until next summer to get married. That way I'll be out of school," Harry started saying.

"I don't want to wait!" Cho exclaimed. "Let's do it before you go back."

Harry really didn't want it to be so soon and began to panic. "That's too quick, how about over the Christmas holiday. That will give enough time to plan." Cho seemed to accept that it would take time to plan everything and agreed to this.

They got up very early and took the first boat to the airstrip. When no one was looking they stepped around the building and Disapparated back to the castle. They arrived in the early afternoon and Sirius was in the kitchen. Immediately Cho ran to him. "Sirius! Look what Harry gave me." She showed him the ring and Sirius smiled genuinely and hugged her.

"Congratulations you two. So, you couldn't wait could you Harry?" Sirius asked smiling and shaking his head.

"You knew about this?" Cho asked him with wide eyes.

"Well, someone had to take him to Belgium so he could pick it out."

"How long ago was that?" Cho asked still surprised Sirius knew.

"Over a month," Harry said. "I've been hiding it ever since."

"A month! Why didn't you ask me right away?" She said looking kind of scary.

"I wanted it to be the right time and be perfect," Harry answered putting his hands up like he was protecting himself.

"It was perfect. I want to tell my dad. Come with me!" Cho pleaded. Sirius just laughed and Harry gave in and went with her. It was crazy at Cho's house when they found out. Everyone was very happy for her and kept asking why they were waiting until the holidays to get married. Cho had called her friends and that was about as much as Harry could take. He said he was very tired after the trip and wanted to go home to sleep. Everyone congratulated him and he quickly went home.

"So, the time was right, huh?" Sirius asked shaking his head again.

"I think so. I love her and know I want to marry her. I wouldn't mind waiting until next summer though. It'll be weird being married and still at school," Harry said not sounding extremely excited.

"Don't worry about still being in school. How many other students have had to deal with what you have? If you feel that it's time, then don't worry about anything else. So, how was the island?"

Harry spent the next couple hours telling Sirius about how wonderful the island was and about how much fun they had. He then went to bed to try and get back onto a regular sleep schedule. Cho jumping onto his bed woke him up the next morning. "I missed you last night," she exclaimed seeming wide awake.

"Me too. What are you doing here?" He asked barely awake.

"That's a fine way to greet your fiancé." Cho joked. "I'm just excited. Let's go do something today."

"Ok, fine. Let me go shower and then I'm all yours," he said still sounding tired.

"How about we both go shower and you're still all mine?" Cho said following him into the shower. They emerged a couple hours later to find Sirius downstairs.

"I'm going to be in and out for a while. Dumbledore wants me to check on a few things, and then some personal business," Sirius said.

"Do you need any help? I could go with you." Harry offered and Cho gave him a dirty look.

"No thanks. I can take care of myself. Don't worry; I'll be back in a few weeks." Sirius hugged Harry and left.

"Why'd you offer to go with him? I don't want you doing anything to get hurt," Cho said seriously.

"I'm old enough to start helping them more. The bottom line is that it's me they're protecting so I should be with them," Harry replied not happy about being left out.

Cho looked at him and then said, "C'mon let's go to Diagon Alley. Sirius said he'd be ok."

They walked around and every time Harry tried to avoid people staring, Cho seemed to pull him back. She didn't seem to mind people staring and talking as much as he did. They had sat down for a late lunch at an outdoor restaurant when Harry noticed something. "Oh great. Cho, a reporter with the Daily Prophet is coming over."

Cho smiled and said, "Don't worry Harry, a quick interview and they'll leave."

"Harry! Harry! What a surprise it is to see you out. It seems like you're never out in public," the reporter said and Harry was caught in the flash of a camera. Harry just smiled back. "Was it terribly disappointing to have lost to Bulgaria in the finals?"

Harry just concentrated on being calm and nice. "Yes, it was disappointing. The team was playing great and I just couldn't beat Viktor to the snitch. The rest of the team kept us in the match."

The reporter started again. "Was the rest of the team terribly hard on ...Oh my!" The reporter stopped and noticed Cho's hand, which was resting on the table right in front of the reporter. "Is that? Are you two? It's Miss Chang, isn't it?"

Cho beamed and replied, "Yes it is."

"That's quite some ring. Is that from Harry?" The reporter asked with a gleam in her eyes.

"Why yes it is. Harry proposed while we were on a deserted beach in the South Pacific. It was the most romantic thing ever."

"So, you've taken one of the most eligible bachelors off the market. When is the big date?"

Harry started to reply. "We may wait until after..."

But Cho stopped him. "Around the holidays. We wanted to have time to plan everything."

"You've just smashed the dreams of many young witches Miss Chang. How about a picture of the two of you?" the reporter asked.

Harry really didn't want to but Cho was pulling him over and made sure the ring was going to be visible in the pictures. They took a couple pictures and even one of them kissing. Thankfully the reporter left quickly after that. "We should have just hid," Harry said.

"Why? Don't you want anyone to know?" Cho seemed kind of hurt.

"That's not it. I want all of our friends to know. I just don't care about anyone other than our friends. And, who knows how they'll twist the story around," Harry replied.

"Don't worry. I bet it will be fine," Cho replied still feeling happy about telling the reporter about the engagement.

The couple spent a couple more hours in Diagon Alley and then each went back to their homes. Harry got home and took some candles and went out back. He lit a couple of the candles and began to practice elemental magic. Harry was now easily able to make the flames move from candle to candle and even combine into one larger flame. He could hold the flame in his hands without feeling the heat at all. He was trying to concentrate and make the flame into shapes in his hand when he heard something behind him. He quickly sent the flame back to the candle and heard, "What exactly where you doing?"
