Disclaimer: I don't own "Harry Potter", it is hereby © to J.K. Rowling. I wrote this story when I was 11-12 years old and between the years 2001-2003, so the actual "Order of the Phoenix" had not been released yet.

"What you did tonight has saved us all. All five of you shall receive awards. In a few days, as you know, is the end of the year feast. Which means it is time for us all to go home." Dumbledore said.

"Harry, Cho? You both alright?" Sirius asked.

"We're fine." They answered together.

"Akira, Ron, Hermione, how about you?" Sirius continued.

"We're fine also." The three of them said quietly.

"It's late. I suggest you all go to bed. The rest of the school has been sent to their dormitories. The Gryffindors are anxiously waiting your safe return." Remus said.

"Lupin! The moon! It's full! Children, run!" cried Arabella.

"You need not worry, Arabella. The full moon isn't tonight. It's tomorrow." Remus said, chuckling.

Arabella breathed a sigh of relief.

"I feel like an idiot…" Arabella said, sighing.

"You're not one, Arabella. Just misinformed." Remus said, lightly patting her on the shoulder.

"You five just go on to your dormitory." Dumbledore said.

The five of them nodded and they walked up the sloping lawn to the great oak doors and opened them. Lightly stepping up the stairs, they approached the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Carrot Cake." Hermione whispered.

The portrait swung forward. A quiet chatter met their ears but was silenced the second they saw the portrait hole open. Slowly, Ron and Hermione entered. Then Akira.

"Are they-?" Lee asked, lost for words.

And hesitantly, Harry stepped forward and into the common room. The rest of the Gryffindors were about to turn their heads in sorrow, thinking Cho did die. But stopped when they saw Harry hold out his hand to another hand. A female hand. She put her foot onto the rug on the floor and completely stepped inside. The Gryffindors watched in awe. They couldn't believe that Cho was alive.

"Is You-Know-Who gone?" asked Seamus.

"For the moment." Ron answered.

"But Cho was supposed to die. The Order of Phoenix isn't complete!" Dean said.

"She did die." Akira said very quietly.

"What's that?" Dean asked, not hearing what Akira had said.

"I said, She did die." Akira repeated.

"Then why is she alive? Or is she a ghost?" Dean asked suspiciously.

"I did die, but I came back to life. Tears of the phoenix and tears of the one that loves me and cares for me the most, brought me back." Cho said.

"Oh." Said Dean and the other Gryffindors who happened to be wondering the same thing.

"We're really tired. We'd like to go to bed." Harry said.

The Gryffindors nodded in understanding and cleared a path to the staircase that led to the dormitories. They walked through the open path and went up the stairs. The five of them going their separate ways and saying their goodnights, they went and changed into pajamas and got into bed and fell asleep.

The next morning wasn't the normal mornings that Cho was used to. She was used to hearing happy chatter downstairs and quiet mumbling from the bathroom in the dormitory. This morning however, was a very quiet morning. No happy chatter downstairs or mumbling of the girls in the bathroom as they got ready for class. Just silence. Cho had awoken wondering what had happened the previous night. The memories came flooding back in an instant. Such a painful sight for her eyes. Tears started gathering at the corners of her brown eyes. She quickly wiped them away and got dressed and went downstairs into the common room where Harry was quietly sitting at the foot of the stairs.

"Hi Harry…" Cho whispered.

"Hi…" Harry replied.

"To breakfast then?" Hermione suggested, coming down the stairs, clinging to Ron's arm.

"That sounds great." Harry and Cho agreed.

Akira came down the stairs loudly and cheerfully bid them 'good morning'. Together they went downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast.

The usual chatter was going around. All of them, except the Gryffindor table talking about how they thought Cho had died. Once they saw Cho walk into the room holding onto Harry's hand, the chatter ceased immediately. Cho's Ravenclaw friends ran over to her and nearly knocked her down.

"Cho! We thought you left us forever! We're so sorry that we've been avoiding you! It's just all that's been going on…you getting moved back a year and being resorted…" One of her friends cried.

"It's alright…I understand…But, if you don't want to be my friends anymore, that's alright. I have new friends. The Gryffindors are really nice, you know." Cho said softly.

"We may not be here for you all the time, but we'll be here if you need us. If you need anything, call on any of us. And we'll be there." They replied.

"Thanks…" Cho said.

"Akira, you take care of your sister. And you too, Harry! You've got yourself a very special girl there. Oh and my name's Anna." She said, extending her hand.

"I will." Akira replied.

"And I will too." Harry said.

"Good," Said Anna. "I wish to propose a toast!"

They grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice and raised them.

"To everlasting friendship! And unbreakable bonds!" said Anna.

"For hope!" said Akira.

"To love!" said Ron.

"To peace!" Hermione added.

"To Dumbledore and those I love!" Harry said.

"And to the belief that light will always shine even when you're in the dark!" Cho cried.

They touched goblets and gulped down some of the juice.

"Well, we'd best get going back to our table…" Anna said, nudging the rest of Cho's friends towards the Ravenclaw table.

Anna and her friends went and sat down at their table just as Harry and his friends sat down.

The five of them quickly ate breakfast and lounged on the grounds for the rest of the day.

The next two days flew by in a flash. And soon it was the end of the year feast. Time to go home. Harry didn't want to leave Hogwarts. He didn't want to go back to the Dursleys. That very evening, they received their test results on their OWLs.

"Yes! I have all OWLs subjects next year!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Good for you…" Ron said.

"How many did you get?" Hermione asked, turning to Ron.

"I got nine. Snape didn't think I'm actually capable of taking his OWLs class…" Ron replied.

"I got twelve." Hermione said.

"I got thirteen…" Cho said.

"I'm jealous! But you already knew what was coming this year!" Hermione stated.

"True…Harry, how many OWLs did you get?" Cho said changing the subject.

"Same as you. Thanks for the help." Harry responded, hugging her around the middle.

"Hey!" Cho said in surprise. "Oh…you're welcome…"

"Good job Harry!" Hermione commented.

"Thanks." Harry replied.

Professor McGonagall stood up and raised her glass and tapped her spoon against it.

"Your attention, please." She said.

She sat down as Dumbledore stood up.

"This year has been an interesting one…great things have happened…and some, not so great…" Dumbledore said quietly.

The room had fallen into complete silence.

"However, the Order of Phoenix has been successfully performed, and Miss Chang is still alive. A remarkable story it is. The wonders that the powers of love can bring you…It is time to announce the winners of our tournament…Gryffindor pair wins…House points, Gryffindor wins as well…And Gryffindor takes the Quidditch Cup…My, my, the Gryffindors have been working hard this year…Three honors…Professor McGonagall must be proud…" Dumbledore continued.

Professor McGonagall beamed and smiled at her fellow Gryffindors. Harry grinned back. McGonagall stood up once again and started applauding. Hagrid joined in, as well as the rest of the staff, soon followed by the Ravenclaws, then the Hufflepuffs, and some of the Gryffindors, along with, surprisingly, a few Slytherins. Including a sour-faced Malfoy. The end of the year couldn't be any more perfect.

Cho, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Akira soon found themselves loading their school trunks onto the train and assisting one another put away their owls. They found a compartment and chatted about many things. Someone knocked on their compartment door.

"Come in." Cho said.

The door slid open and Malfoy stood in the doorway.

"Hello Chang, Potter, Weasley, Granger, and uh…Chang…" He said brightly.

"You're acting very……odd…" Akira noted. "You usually aren't this nice…"

Malfoy strode over to Cho.

"You should have died! It is impossible that you have lived. Perhaps, I shall finish Voldemort's work…" He said in her ear.

Cho shoved him backwards and quickly drew out her wand.

"Easy now, Chang, you wouldn't want to hurt yourself…" Malfoy said, tutting.

"Nophonos!" Cho said.

Malfoy tried to speak but not sound came out.

"What'd you do to him?" Ron asked.

"Oh, I just took away his voice…cat got your tongue, Malfoy?" Cho answered tauntingly.

Malfoy responded by taking out his wand and send a shower of sparks into Cho's face.

"Protega!" Cho said as the sparks flew.

The white glowing shield reappeared around Cho. The white light ruffled Cho's raven black hair. The light encircled her head like a halo, she appeared heavenly. The compartment was filled with the light and the whole car shone with light. The sparks dissipated into tiny cinders and Malfoy had regained his voice and cursed at Cho and ran from the compartment. The light went away quickly and Cho collapsed into the seat in the compartment. She looked outside the window.

"We're almost there…Hermione and I are going to go to another compartment to change. We'll be right back…" Cho said grinning.

She opened her trunk and rifled about the contents until she pulled out some Muggle clothes. She opened the now closed compartment door. Hermione followed, her arms full with Muggle clothes.

"Come, Akira. We're not going to leave you here to change in the presence of young men…" Cho said, motioning her confused sister over.

Akira ran over to her sisters side and disappeared as she shut the compartment door.

Harry and Ron changed out of their robes and put on their Muggle clothes. A few minutes later the girls came back in their Muggle clothes.

"We have returned!" Akira announced.

"Yeah…we noticed…" Ron said.

He took out his Wizard Chess set and played Akira.

"I won!!! Fifth time in a row!!!" Akira shouted.

The rest of their time together on the train was spent wisely. When the plump witch with the lunch trolley and sweets arrived at their door, all of them bought five of each kind. They ate their treats happily and soon the train started to slow down as it pulled into Platform 9 ¾.

"I don't want to go back home." Ron complained.

"Oh we have the whole summer to see each other!" Hermione snapped at him, playfully hitting him on the back of the head.

Harry and Cho were totally oblivious to the fact of what was going on. They were sharing a moment to themselves.

"I'm going to miss you…" Cho whispered.

"I am too…you will write me, won't you?" Harry whispered back.

"Of course! I'll invite you over again this summer…" Cho said softly, but in great emotion.

They unloaded their things and walked through the barrier and saw their families waiting for them. The Dursleys were obviously not happy to see their nephew again. Dudley's face happened to change expressions when he saw Cho. His watery blue eyes widened and a smirk was placed upon his fat face.

"Bye Harry," Cho said sweetly. "Oh and hello Dursleys! Remember me? I picked up Harry last summer." She added.

She lightly kissed him goodbye and Dudley's face fell.

"Bye Cho." Harry said, his face starting to turn red.

"Bye then, young lady." Vernon said gruffly.

"Yes…goodbye…" said Petunia, forcing a smile.

"Hi, the name's Dudley. I'd just to say goodbye to you Miss ah…?" Dudley began.

"Chang. Cho Chang. Umm…Bye Mr. and Mrs. Dursley and goodbye Dudley." Cho said nervously.

Silently she walked over to her parents where Akira was filling them in on all the amazing things that had happened that year.

"Get in the car, boy." Vernon barked.

"Yes sir." Harry replied.

"Put your bags in the back." Petunia ordered.

"Yes ma'am." Harry said, taking his trunk and putting it in the backseat. He put Hedwig on one of the seats and buckled his seat belt as the Dursleys got into the car and started the car.

The car drove away and Harry watched Cho fade away and become further away, smaller and smaller. He could've sworn he saw her looking in his direction and wink at him from the corner of her eye.

It was to be yet another miserable summer for Harry. But it would be wonderful once he got to stay with Cho.

The End
