Harry Potter and the Order Of the Phoenix [50]
“Two tickets for um… what do you want to see Harry?” asked Cho nicely. Harry looked around the door, and saw magical posters for each of the movies. Harry knew which on he’d like to see: Blood Quidditch VII, the Devil’s Broom. It looked like a very exciting version of Harry’s favorite sport. However, remembering that he was here with Cho, looked at the other posters and decided on something else.
“Um… how about… Eternal Adoration,” he said. Cho smiled at him.
“Two for Eternal Adoration please,” she said to the door. It turned from a blue color to a red.
“That will be one galleon and ten sickles please,” said the door. As it spoke, it rippled, a cool little effect. Cho reached inside her pocket. Harry, who had anticipated something like this, spoke,
“No, Cho, no,” said Harry, grabbing a hold of her hand, and taking it out of her pocket. “I’ve got it covered.” Harry took out two galleons from his pants pocket, and as soon as he took them out, a piece of the door extended like an arm, and took them out of his hand. The arm flowed back into the main door, and the galleons disappeared. Seven sickles then appeared inside the door, and it extended back out with the sickles in hand. Harry put them in his pocket.
“Thank you, you may enter now,” said the door. It turned form red to a yellow, and Cho stepped through. When she appeared unhurt, Harry did the same. As he was walking through, it felt like he was moving through some sort of hard water. It was a nice tickling feeling, and Harry had to control himself from laughing.
When he appeared on the other side, Cho took his hand and started leading him to a door. Even though the outside was not like a Muggle theater at all, the inside was exactly like one. It wasn’t very bright inside, and there were a few concession stands. There were even bathrooms. There were also massive doors everywhere, with labels above them for the movies that were inside. Harry and Cho walked over to the door for their movie, and Harry opened the door for Cho, letting her through. They stepped through into what, thought Harry, looked exactly like a Muggle theater. There were seats all over the room that got higher every row, and there was a massive screen in front of them all.
Most of the theater was already filled up with other couples, so Harry and Cho walked over to a row that was close to the back. The second Harry sat down, a neat thing happened: a small cup of soda appeared on his right arm rest. Harry looked over, and saw that the same had happened to Cho.
Just as he was about to ask her how that happened, the lights inside the theater dimmed, and the screen lit up. Harry leaned over, to ask Cho if she’d heard anything about this movie. Then, just when his face was next to hers, an even more unexpected thing happened than the food and drinks coming up from the chair.
Cho kissed him.
If Harry thought the feeling of winning the Quidditch game was great, it was nothing compared to this. She hadn’t given him a little peck on the cheek, she got him right on the lips. Harry’s eyes became wide, and he saw Cho with her eyes closed. Harry’s first instinct was to run away, but as he was sitting there, he started to get over the initial shock of it. As Cho continued, Harry’s heart beat faster and faster, and he was feeling warm inside. Then, Harry felt Cho slowly drawing back, and she sat back in her chair.
“You okay Harry?” she asked. He just realized that he still had his face out, and eyes closed. Harry quickly opened his eyes, and sat back in his chair.
“Oh, yeah. I’m good,” said Harry. He had experienced such a wonderful feeling before in his life. It was as if someone had used the complete polar opposite of the Cruciatus Curse on him: a spell that spread pleasure throughout your entire body.
Harry tried to look cool about it, and reached for his soda, when he felt Cho’s hand on his arm. He looked over at her, and she was smiling. Harry leaned forward, and they kissed again, exactly as before, only longer this time.
“I really like you Harry,” she said when they had stopped.
