Not a Chance.


My heart is beating loudly against my chest, and I wonder if someone has cast sonorus on it. Is it even possible? Don’t be foolish, Cho, I tell myself as I force my way through the crowd gathering near the gates. It’s Hogsmeade weekend, and the usual excitement that comes with it is palpable; giggles and laughter fill the cold air, and not even Marietta, disapproving as she is of my date, seems to be able to come up with an actual reason why I should not spend my day with him.

Some people smile and greet me as they seem me pass by them, and I give them nods and small smiles in return. But then I forget all about them because he’s there, waiting for me.

And suddenly, it’s like someone has cast quietus on my heart. It has slow down to its normal pace, and the nerves are not threatening to eat me from inside out anymore.

This feels right.

“Cedric!” I yell. I see relief cross his face, and there’s a look to his eyes that is so sweet and unexpectedly shy that warmth rushes through me.

Oh, for Rowena's sake. I never stood a chance.
