Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Scene 16 Summary

  • It's almost Christmas and Dumbledore's Army is wrapping up after a productive day of practice.
  • Cho is giving Harry doe eyes and lingering by a mirror in the corner as everyone else leaves. This is his chance to make a move.
  • Harry asks if she's okay. He heard that Professor Umbridge kind of put her through the wringer when she questioned her the other day.
  • Cho says she's all right. She just keeps thinking about her dead ex-boyfriend, Cedric. Maybe he wouldn't have died if he had known all these defensive spells.
  • No, Harry tells her. Cedric was pretty smart. He got killed by one of the most powerful dark wizards of all time. Hard to prepare for that at school.
  • Just then, they notice some mistletoe above them. Oh, the Room of Requirement is cheeky. Harry leans in and kisses Cho. Finally.
  • Back in the Gryffindor common room, Harry gives a play by play to Ron and Hermione.
  • Hermione explains that this must be a super emotional time for Cho because she has a crush on the guy who was with her boyfriend when he died. Lots of mixed feelings.
  • But Harry and Ron just give her blank looks. Emotions are weird.
