“She died so young”
“She has such a pretty smile”
“She was so pretty.”
“She had a good chance to be Head Girl.”
“She was a terrific Quidditch captain!”
Those were all the comments I heard. Positive comments about the girl that was killed by Voldermort. She was killed brutally. Not with the killing curse but she was tortured, r*pe and that killed with a sword. I was in love with her all through my 5th year. I wanted to be with her and live happily ever after with her. Yet she died. My fantasy comes to a stop right there because it could never happen. Magic can’t bring the dead back to the earth. And that’s how I have to live now. She was headstrong, beautiful, courageous and intelligent. She was my ideal lover. The girl whom I am talking about is the one and only…
Cho Chang.
Why it had to be her, I don’t know. But it was one of the death eaters that killed her under Voldermort’s request. She was in their so-called way to kill all muggle-lovers and mudbloods. Even though she was a pureblood and never showed true affection towards mudbloods or muggle lovers, she would stand up for them. So they killed her. Anybody who was probably watching her death must have been traumatized. But it was only death eaters and they just kill for fun. It’s their hobby. Its what they like to do for fun and for their amusement. She had many admirers, yet she made time for all of them. I was one of them. She saw right through me, she was one of the few people who did. And it made me happy to be with her. She was intelligent and beautiful. And what I liked most about her was that she wasn’t a follower. She was a leader. Her boldness could have put her in Gryffindor, her patience and kindness could have put her in Hufflepuff, her temper and rough game of Quidditch could have put her in Slytherin, yet her intelligence and her eagerness to learn something everyday put her in Ravenclaw, where she belonged. She even knew how to deal with Crabbe and Goyle when I was about to give up on them. But there was one obstacle that always stood in my way to getting closer than friends to Cho. It was…
Harry Potter.
Ever since our 3rd year Potter liked Cho according to Pansy, Miss Gossip Queen. And I reckon she is right. He was always staring at her in awe. Like he was the only one for her. Like she was a goddess. I’ll have to agree with him on the last one. But fortunately at that time Cho was with Cedric Diggory, who died a year earlier. He was nice fellow, very shy and smart and a lot of the girls liked him. But he fell in love with Cho. And I reckon if that he was still alive and she was still alive they would still be together and get married and maybe have a few kids but unfortunately that won’t happen unless you can get married and have kids in your afterlife or in heaven.
Can I still love her? I guess I can though, it won’t do any good being in love with a dead girl. Father wouldn’t be ashamed of me if I ever dated her when she was still alive. Since she’s a pureblood and she’s not in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. That’s all father cares about. And Cho’s family is rich. And father likes good status. That’s probably the reason why he married mother. She came from a rich family, she was in Slytherin and she was a pureblood, need I say more. Father never fell in love. It’s wrong for a Death Eater to fall in love. Voldermort had many women he played with them and etc but not once did he fall in love with any of the people he slept with. Don’t ask me about the Lestranges. They are a little odd. Anyway Father never showed any affection to my mum or I. So you’re probably thinking that I don’t know how to love. But I do. Mother loves me. She cares for me and shows me true mother-son affection. And that’s why I love her back. She cares for me. She sends me things to make me happy, she looks after me when I’m sick and when I’m sad she’s always there to make me happy.
The person I want to fall in love with that is if I ever fall in love again, has to be intelligent, beautiful, charismatic, able to stand up to me, and can take my cr*p. Oh terrific that’s Granger.
A/N: That’s the end of chapter 1.
