A Veela's Blessing CH.6

On Saturday morning, Harry woke up before any of his dorm mates, having not slept much the night before. The entire night, he had been tossing and turning in his four-poster bed, equally part nervous and excited about his upcoming date with Cho Chang in the morning.

Finally, when the first rays of dawn peeked through the curtains, Harry decided to give up on sleep altogether. He got out of bed and decided to get ready for the day ahead.

First things first, Harry performed his morning rituals and then took a nice, hot shower in the bathroom, thoroughly enjoying the way the warm water cascaded down his body, releasing tension from his sore muscles. He then returned to the dorm room with a towel wrapped around his waist and pulled out a small, brown, paper-wrapped packet from his trunk. Unwrapping the package, Harry smiled as he looked down at his newly bought clothes from Madam Malkin's.

After his sudden growth spurt in the last week, Harry had decided to order some new clothes from Diagon Alley, as he had quickly outgrown his cousin Dudley's old hand-me-downs in no time. Madam Malkin was more than happy to provide him with a completely new wardrobe and had sent him a large package of brand-new clothes with everything magically shrunk inside it.

For today's date, Harry picked out a grey button-down shirt and black jeans from the package. Quickly putting them on, he made his way into the bathroom to check out how he looked. As he admired his reflection in the large mirror in the bathroom, Harry couldn't help but think that he should have done this before. For years, he had been walking around in Hogwarts wearing Dudley's too-large clothes when he could have worn things that made him look smart and attractive, like today.

Finally, pleased with the way he looked, Harry decided to head down to the common room. As he came down the stairs, he noticed the common room was still quiet and dimly lit with only a few people present. One of them Harry realized was Hermione who was sitting in her usual place near the fireplace, working on some homework. Focused on her work, she didn't notice his arrival which only made Harry feel more irritated with her.

Fortunately, before Harry's mood could be further dampened by Hermione's behavior, someone else managed to distract him. Fred Weasley, one-half of the infamous Weasley twins, noticed Harry as he reached the bottom of the staircase, and his mouth curled up in a teasing grin.

"Well, well, well, lookie here, George, ickle Harry's all dressed up real fancy today. Do you think he's got a date or something?" said Fred Weasley, nudging his twin as he eyed Harry from head to toe.

George, who had been reading up on Murtlap essence for one of their joke products, glanced up from his book at Fred's words. His eyes lit up mischievously as he noticed Harry's attire, and he added to his brother with a grin, "I think you're right, Fred, my boy. Our little Harrykins has definitely gone all fancy on us. And isn't it Hogsmeade weekend today? Maybe he has bewitched some poor girl to accompany him."

Harry, quite used to the twins' teasing after four years, rolled his eyes easily. "Ha-ha! Very funny, guys," he said sarcastically, as he joined them at their table, taking a seat in the vacant chair opposite them, "I'll have you know, I don't need magic to get myself a date."

As Harry leaned back into the padded chair, Fred leaned forward curiously, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. "Oh, is that so? So, tell us, Potter. Who's the lucky lady you're taking to Hogsmeade today?"

Harry sighed, knowing he couldn't keep his secret for long from these two. They would just find out sooner or later, so, in the end, he decided he might as well spill the beans now. "I'm going on a date with Cho Chang."

Harry smiled in satisfaction as from the corner of his eyes he saw Hermione's head snapped up from her homework in shock as she no doubt overheard his response.

The twins, meanwhile, exchanged amused glances at Harry's answer before breaking into identical grins.

"Well, well, Harrykins! You sly dog. I didn't think you had it in you," said Fred, grinning from ear to ear.

George, meanwhile, scrunched his eyebrows together as he thought deeply, trying to remember something. "Wait!" he exclaimed suddenly, his eyes practically shining with glee. "Is that the same Miss Chang who was Ravenclaw's seeker last year? The one you clearly had the hots for?"

Harry blushed, half-annoyed and half-amused by George's question. "Yeah. That's her," he answered the redhead with a slight bit of reluctance, anticipating another fresh round of teasing to start any moment now.

As expected, the twins burst into laughter at Harry's answer. Fred's shoulders were shaking uncontrollably as he wiped tears from his eyes, while George had nearly fallen out of his chair, managing to catch himself just in time.

Harry could feel his ears starting to heat up in embarrassment as the twins kept chuckling at his expense for the next few moments. "Hey! Would you guys cut it out already? It's just a first date," he growled at the older boys in irritation.

"We-we're sorry, Harry," George said, raising a hand in apology. However, a few giggles still escaped the red-haired boy's lips as he got himself under control.

"So, what's your plan for today, Harry?" George asked him eagerly once he had stopped laughing, leaning forward in his chair. "Have you decided where you're going to take Cho for your date?"

Fred also, finally, managed to calm himself and joined in with a sly smile, "Yeah. What about Madam Puddifoot's, Harry? I've heard girls love that place."

Harry, who had once visited the popular tea shop during his third year, shuddered at the memory. "No way. That place gives me the creeps," he replied.

The twins pouted in response to Harry's answer, disappointed that their scheme to fool him had failed. However, they quickly shrugged it off and adopted an easy smile.

"Yeah. The place is just too much pink," said George, frowning.

"Not to mention all those frilly decorations and the tiny cupids," added Fred with a shiver.

Harry nodded in response to the twin's words. "Yeah. Exactly," he said in total agreement. "That's why I was thinking of taking a stroll around the village with Cho and then taking her to Madam Rosmerta's for some lunch and butterbeer. So, what do you guys think? Do you think she'd like that?"

Fred and George looked at each other for a few seconds before making a thoughtful sound. "You know what? That does sound good actually," said George, giving Harry a small thumbs-up.

Harry smiled. However, before he could feel too happy with himself, Fred cut in, "But, don't think that's going to be enough, Har-bear," he said, shaking his head and clicking his tongue in disapproval. "You can't honestly believe that you can woo a lovely bird like Miss Chang with only just that. You would need to up your game, my friend."

Eager to get advice from the older boys, Harry asked quickly, "How so?"

Fred and George waved for Harry to come closer. "This is what you need to do, our young pupil..." said Fred, as the two brothers launched into a long, elaborate list of things that they wanted Harry to do for his date.

Fred and George then spent a good part of an hour and a half lecturing Harry on things he needed to do to make his date with Cho successful. By the time the twins finished, the rest of the Gryffindor house had woken up. As the students began to arrive in the common room, Harry bid Fred and George goodbye and began to make his way toward the Ravenclaw common room on the fifth floor.

Unfortunately for Harry, on the way there, he almost bumped into Peeves the poltergeist, who was floating in the corridors, carrying a bunch of ink bottles in his skinny arms, ready to toss them at any unsuspecting individual passing by.

Luckily, Harry's quick reflexes allowed him to duck behind a suit of armour just in time before the poltergeist could notice him and ruin his brand-new clothes.

Harry waited until Peeves had turned around the corner before emerging from his hiding place. After breathing a sigh of relief, he quickly resumed his journey to the Ravenclaw common room.

When Harry finally reached the fifth-floor corridor, he saw Cho standing outside the common room door, clearly waiting for him. Her dark brown eyes lit up with excitement upon noticing his arrival, and she gave him a little wave.

Harry waved back and quickly made his way towards her. As he came closer to Cho, Harry couldn't help but think she looked stunning today. She was wearing a teal-coloured, v-neck top that extended only to her midriff, revealing her toned stomach. Alongside that, she had on skinny black jeans that hugged her body, showing off her spectacular ass.

A polite cough interrupted the silence around them, and Harry blushed as he realized Cho had caught him checking her out. He looked down at her and saw amusement dancing in her eyes.

"Hi, Harry," she said, a small grin tugging at her lovely lips.

"Hey, Cho," Harry replied, a bit sheepishly. He then remembered Fred's initial suggestion for the date and retrieved a red rose from his back pocket, presenting it to Cho.

"This is for you," he said as he handed her the beautiful rose.

Cho gasped "Wow! Thank you so much, Harry."

She delicately accepted the rose, her eyes lighting up with a pleasant surprise. Harry couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at her reaction. He then offered her his arm and asked, "Shall we?"

Cho smiled happily and linked their arms together. The two of them made their way down to the grounds, where a large number of students could be seen walking out of the front gates to the village.

"So, where are we headed first, Harry?" Cho asked him curiously as they joined the large crowd heading towards Hogsmeade.

"Well, I was thinking we could have lunch at the Three Broomsticks," Harry answered, looking down at Cho with a smile. "Have you ever been there?" he asked her suddenly. "Madam Rosmerta's food is almost as good as the Hogwarts house elves'. Until then, we could just walk around the village to see if something catches our fancy."

Harry started to feel a tad nervous as Cho fell silent after hearing his suggestion. He winced, wondering whether she was disappointed that he didn't have something more special planned for their first date.

Luckily for Harry, Cho didn't turn out to be upset as she suddenly smiled at him. "I think that sounds wonderful, Harry," she replied to him.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief at Cho's answer. As they walked together toward Hogsmeade, the conversation between them began to flow easily. Harry asked Cho about her friends and family, and she happily supplied him with stories about her best friend Marietta, alongside her parents and two younger brothers at home. Luckily, Cho didn't ask him about his own family in return. Harry had no idea how he would've explained the Dursleys to her. Instead, she asked him about his preparations for the third task, and Harry told her about all the defensive spells he was practising in an empty classroom.

Finally, Harry and Cho made it to the Hogsmeade village. The cobblestone streets around them felt lively, as a large number of Hogwarts students meander around, enjoying the cosy, snow-covered village. The place had a charming vibe with students going in and out of different shops, as they enjoyed their day out of the castle.

Harry and Cho exchanged glances and then joined the rest of the crowd. Their first stop was Honeydukes, where the sweet aroma of magical confections wafted through the air. Inside, the shelves were lined with colourful candies and chocolates of all shapes and sizes. Following Fred and George's second piece of advice, Harry bought Cho a large box of fancy chocolate from the shop.

Cho looked delighted with her second gift and surprised him with a kiss on the cheek.

Leaving Honeydukes with bags of sweets in hand, they ventured over to Zonko's Joke Shop. The shop was filled with an array of prank items and joke supplies. While Cho didn't buy anything from there, Harry couldn't resist picking up a few tricks, mainly to hand them off to the Weasley twins as a way of saying thank you for their invaluable advice.

After an hour of walking around the village, Harry and Cho agreed to head to the Three Broomsticks for some cold Butterbeer. They followed a long line of students going in the same direction until they finally arrived at the inn. Harry held the door open for Cho, who gave him a sweet smile before entering. As they stepped inside, Hary frowned when he realized the entire pub was packed with Hogwarts students, and there was hardly any free space to sit. Fortunately, his sharp eyes spotted an unoccupied table towards the back of the pub.

Pleased with his discovery, Harry tapped Cho on the shoulder and pointed towards the empty table. "Why don't you save us that spot, Cho? I'll just go and grab us a couple of bottles of Butterbeer," he suggested to the girl.

In response, Cho nodded and headed in the pointed direction.

Harry watched her go before making his way to the bar counter. On his way there, he noticed Ron sitting with Dean and Seamus. The boys gave him a large thumbs-up along with a wink. Harry chuckled and waved at his friends. He then continued toward the bar counter, where Madam Rosmerta turned to him with a charming smile.

"So, what can I get you, Potter?" she asked politely.

"Two Butterbeers and something for lunch, ma'am," Harry answered, handing her a few sickles.

Madam Rosmerta nodded and handed him two chilled bottles of butterbeer from under the counter. "I'll bring you something to eat in a few minutes," she told him.

Harry nodded and headed towards his seat. Cho smiled as she saw him making his way towards her from among the crowd. She quickly shuffled to the side, making some room for him to sit.

"Here you go," said Harry as he passed Cho one of the drinks. She accepted the bottle of butterbeer with a soft 'thanks' and took a swig. The cool beverage felt wonderfully refreshing as it went down her throat, and she felt a sense of warmth fill her belly. Sighing in satisfaction, she set the bottle down at the table and glanced at Harry at her side.

Cho's face turned a little pink as she noticed Harry was already looking down at her with intensity. He caught her gaze and gave her a crooked grin. "I hope you've had a good time today, Cho?" he asked softly.

Cho bobbed her head in reply. "Yeah, I have. Today's been amazing, Harry."

Her answer caused Harry to smile widely. He slid a little closer to her and placed an arm around her back. "So, do you think I can kiss you now?"

Harry's question prompted Cho to suddenly start breathing heavily, her tongue darting out of her mouth to wet her dry lips. After a moment collecting herself, she gave him a small nod. "S-sure. Go ahead."

Smiling at her answer, Harry turned to face Cho fully. He cupped her cheeks in a gentle manner and leaned forward, kissing her firmly on the lips. Cho moaned as she felt Harry's tongue probing against her full lips and she quickly opened her mouth. Her heart fluttered slightly as his tongue began to explore her mouth, the intensity of their kiss increasing with each passing second. Harry's lips quirked up in a smile as he heard Cho let out a muffled moan. He pulled her closer to him, almost pulling her onto his lap.

The two of them kissed each other for a long time until they were forced to separate to breathe. As they finally broke the kiss, Cho looked up at Harry with heavily-lidded eyes. "Do you think we can go somewhere private, Harry?" she asked him softly, placing her hand dangerously near his crotch.

Harry's mouth dropped in surprise at Cho's action. However, he quickly recovered and grinned at her in reply. "Come on, let's get out of here," he said, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of their seat. Cho giggled as Harry quickly led her out of the Three Broomsticks and to a deserted area near the Shrieking Shack.

She looked around her surroundings and grinned as she noticed they were well hidden from the eyes of any bypassing strangers.

Glancing up at Harry, she pounced onto him, kissing him firmly on the lips. After a few seconds of kissing him passionately, she pulled back from him and shot him a sexy smile.

Harry watched, wide-eyed as Cho slowly sank down onto her knees. She looked up at him with her beautiful, brown eyes, placing he hand on his crotch. In response, Harry's cock jumped inside his trousers in excitement.

Cho giggled, happy from the response. She gave little Harry a playful squeeze before undoing the zipper of his jeans, pulling them down past his hips. A gasp tore out of Cho's mouth as Harry's cock sprang free. Eyes blown wide open in surprise, she couldn't believe just how big it was!

Entranced by the magnificent eight-inch long cock in front of her eyes, Cho eagerly wrapped her right hand around Harry's length, giving him a little stroke. She snapped out of her daze as she heard him release a loud, moaning sound in response. Curious, she glanced up at him and found him biting his lips in pleasure.

Cho couldn't describe how happy she felt seeing such a reaction from Harry. At that moment, every part of her wanted to bring him as much pleasure as possible. Sticking her tongue out of her mouth, she licked her left hand to get it a little wet. Once her hand was properly lubricated, she gripped Harry's cock and began to pump his shaft up and down.

Harry tilted his head back, closing his eyes in pleasure as he felt Cho begin to pleasure him with her hand. "Oh God, that feels so good, Cho," he groaned to her loudly.

In response, Cho smiled happily, her small hand continuing to stroke the length of his mighty cock. "Oh, yeah? Well, this is nothing, Harry. Just wait, I'm going to make you cum so hard in a few minutes," she said, leaning down and licking his sensitive tip. Harry shuddered as he felt her tongue swirl around the head of his cock, collecting the small amount of precum leaking out of his slit. He watched, breathless as she then lifted his cock up and proceeded to lick the underside of his shaft all the way down to his balls. Once she had given his dick a proper tongue bath, Cho looked up at Harry and flashed him a wink. "Get ready for the best time of your life, darling," she promised him seriously.

Harry took a few deep breaths as he watched Cho open her mouth wide to take him in. A part of him couldn't wait to see her fulfil her promise.
