Harry sighed as he can't make heads or tails on what to do and decided to write a letter to Ted about all the developments he got on Sirius's case.
'Hey, Ted,
I am doing well. Hope you and Andromeda are doing well and include that pinky here. Just want to inform you about Sirius's Animagus form.
I want to know if the Wizengomot can imprison him again because of his unregistered Animagus form. He didn't make it known at the time of his imprisonment as well.
Just want to be safe if the foolish Ministry wanted to imprison him for someone. Can you search to bypass this?
I know I'm acting overly concerned, I just don't want to take chances and lose Sirius as well. Also, I found where Pettigrew is.
Cocky rat is acting as a pet for one of the students in Hogwarts and I'm going to catch him soon. So there is that.
Tell me when you find something that can bypass this whole Illegal Animagus thing.
A wannabe solicitor,
Harry.'
'And dot.' Thought Harry ending the letter. He went to the owlery to send the letter through Hedwig, tying the letter to her leg. She was upon him as soon as he entered the owlery looking at him expectantly.
Harry gently ruffled her snowy feathers and gave her a large piece of bacon he took after his dinner. She gently nipped his fingers, looking at him expectantly.
"There. Be safe and surprise that pinky if possible," said Harry and she nodded her head in understanding. She didn't move, as if expecting something else.
Harry looked at her quizzically. 'Did I forget anything?' She would be very happy to take letters for him and would have gone by now. Now she is looking at him for something.
"What, girl? Did I miss something?" Asked Harry and she gently hooted many times and Harry couldn't keep up.
"You are not happy with not being used that much?" He asked the most plausible explanation he thought of. She hooted again.
"Ok. That sounds like you are not satisfied with me." Harry said and Hedwig nodded elegantly.
"Well, we can talk at length when you come back. Maybe I will ask Cho to use you as well?" he said and she gave a satisfied nod and flew from one of the windows.
'That girl. I don't know what she thinks sometimes.' He thought but remembered something.
'Is she somehow thinking about Mira and not satisfied since I didn't introduce them?' He asked himself. Deciding to not take chances, he thought of arranging a meeting between them soon.
He doesn't want to be on the end of an angry Hedwig as she is intelligent compared to other owls and can come up with intuitive ways to take her revenge.
With these thoughts in mind, Harry went into the secret room he and Cho made on the 4th floor to relax a bit. The place has become a sanctuary for him as he often spends time here with Cho if she is free.
He made a habit of coming here to relax. Now that he had enough of planning things, he wanted to relax and made his way to the room on the fourth floor from the owlery.
As he reached the room, which was locked by a small magic lock that requires the user's wand to recognise them, Harry put on his wand and entered without much difficulty.
"Hey Harry," greeted Cho as she was inside with some books around her. Harry walked and sat on a couch opposite her, looking curiously.
"Hello. What are you doing?"
"Assignments. The fourth year has some advanced things and I'm working on them," she said, gesturing to all the books around her.
Harry looked at all of them. He knew some and didn't know some. As he is also preparing fourth-year subjects, he helped Cho wherever possible and they completed the assignments in silence.
"Wow. You were good with my subjects. Trying to one-up me?" She asked with a smile, packing all the books she brought.
"Nah. I'm just trying to complete fourth with you so that we can be in the same year," he said with a charming smile.
"Ah, want to spend more time with me?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows with a teasing smile.
"What's wrong with it? Can't I spend some more time with my girlfriend?" He asked in a hurt tone.
"Ah, charming words," said Cho as she walked towards the couch Harry was sitting on.
"What will you do in the extra time you are going to spend?"
"Hmm, never thought of it. Let's plan," he said, moving closer to her.
"Well, I have some work to do and my friends will get suspicious if I don't go to my room soon," she said standing.
"Ah, come on, you are spoiling everything I planned!" Harry whined and Cho turned back.
"What did you plan?"
"Well, that would be telling," he said, standing beside her and stealing a quick kiss.
"That's for not spending more time with me and-" he kissed her again.
"For becoming more popular and spending more time with your friends,"
"So you heard about them," she said, initiating one of her own. After being accepted into the Quidditch team, Cho's popularity also increased.
Being attractive in addition to being a Quidditch player made some males in her class and House turn heads and try their luck with her, only to fail.
