Harry’s expression was flat as he watched Cho Chang literally drape herself over Cedric, at the Hufflepuff table.

“Honestly, some people,” Hermione mumbled disapprovingly, shaking her head. She turned to Harry when he said nothing, grimacing at the dark cloud that hung over his head.

“Why isn’t he pushing her away?” Harry asked, mainly to himself, as Cho hugged Cedric and Cedric gave a fake, nervous smile. He was uncomfortable – so why wasn’t he pushing the bitch to the floor and stepping on her face?

Harry winced as he realised just how violent his thoughts were becoming towards someone he’d admired, fancied, just a year ago.

“Well, she does seem to have her talons sunk in quite deeply. I suppose he’s waiting for his white knight to come rescue him,” Hermione remarked, quite amused as Harry’s eyes narrowed at Cho. Poor Cho didn’t realise what she had coming, really – only Harry and Cedric’s close friends knew about them.
“Right,” Harry agreed, standing abruptly and stalking over to Cedric. Hermione groaned, previous amusement fleeing as she realised just what she’d encouraged. Harry would undoubtedly make a spectacle out of himself, earn Cedric’s disapproval, most of the Hufflepuff’s hatred, and the belittlement of Slytherin and Ravenclaw.

“What’s going on?” Ron asked, sitting down in Harry’s vacated place and wondering why Hermione looked like she wanted to drown herself in her bowl of porridge. Hermione merely nodded towards the Hufflepuff table.

“Cedric,” Harry said, laying a hand on Cedric’s shoulder. Cedric looked up to see the thunderous expression on his boyfriends face, and gulped. “Come on, we’ve got to go Hogsmeade.” Well, at least he had tact.

That thought was ripped away when Harry sent Cho a poisonous glare as Cedric grabbed his cloak and stood. Thankfully, Cho didn’t seem to realise what the look meant. Thank Merlin for the innocent.

Cedric and Harry began to exit the hall, and Harry was just reaching for Cedric’s large, soothing hand when a small body forced it’s way between the two boys. Harry stood stock still for a moment, mouth agape.

“Excuse me-“ Harry began in a hiss, but Cho was already talking over him, to Cedric, who looked quite pale and was wondering if he could summon Harry’s wand before the boy was inclined to use it on Cho.

“So, Cedric, what’re you doing today? Maybe we could go to Hogsmea-“

“Cho!” Harry interrupted loudly, shoving Cho out of the way and grabbing Cedric by the back of the neck. Cedric’s eyes widened, and he had no time to react before he was pulled down for a strong kiss, lips being practically glued to Harry, who didn’t let go for a good few minutes.

When Cedric was finally released, a goofy smile adorning his face, Harry turned to Cho, who was fidgeting and looking quite embarrassed. A smirk of satisfaction nearly crawled its way across Harry’s face. She deserved every ounce of humiliation.

“Me and Cedric have to be leaving for our date now. See you later,” Harry said with false cheerfulness, before grabbing Cedric’s hand and dragging him to the front doors. Cedric didn’t even bid Cho goodbye, too busy staring avidly at Harry’s arse.

Just the way Harry wanted it.

Hope that was what you wanted! Using Cho was a bit predictable, but logical, I suppose :P
