Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Author's notes: This is AU. My first HP fic. Warning: Suicide!!!!! Movie-verse. This came to mind when I watched Order of the Phoenix—specifically that scene where Cho was being ignored by her former friends after betraying the DA to Umbridge. It broke my heart to see Harry give her the cold shoulder! That's how I came up with this idea.
Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me
Cho Chang sat by her desk in her room, it's shiny wooden surface was covered in scrunched up pieces of parchment. At that moment, Cho was staring intently at a fresh piece, tapping her quill lightly on the desk. So far these words were scrawled in loopy, but neat handwriting:
I'm so, so sorry. There's nothing you could have done, I needed to do this. I wasn't happy. I don't want you to feel guilty or under the feeling that this was your fault. It wasn't, it was mine. I must tell you, I love you. That's why I'm sorry for betraying the DA.
Love forever Cho.
Slowly, Cho folded the piece of paper, and made her way over to her bed, hiding it under her pillow. He would eventually find it, she knew.
Every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see your in my dreams
I see your face it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
She then sat on her bed, staring around her room. She should be happy, she was Cho Chang; a Ravenclaw! But she loved him....
And he didn't love her.
Cho stood; next to her bed was a vase with roses inside. He had given them to her only a week ago.
Roses signified love.
How ironic.
Cho grabbed the roses by their stems, ignoring the thorns that dug into her palms. She laid them on her bed. She lifted the vase from its place upon her bedside table. The sound of water pouring onto the floor was quite loud. She dropped the now empty vase onto her bed, and walked over to her desk again. Grabbing the hardest thing that she could find, Cho made her way back over to her bed.
I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
She looked to see what object she had picked up.
A stone that, if you looked close enough was shaped almost like a heart. The stone he had found on the beach and given to her.
Cho raised the stone high and smashed the vase with it.
He definitely would have heard that.
"Cho!" He yelled, urgency evident in his voice. Apparently, he had obtained the password to Ravenclaw tower.
Cho hurried up. Grabbing a piece of glass she raised it above her wrist.
It was now or never.
Every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see your in my dreams
I see your face you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
The pain was awful. It stung, more than anything. Cho gasped, sobs racking her body, tears falling rapidly from her eyes. Again she raised the glass, and plunged, pulling it across the delicate skin on her wrist.
Her loud sobs echoed through the room. Along with the bangs of the door, as he tried to break in.
"Cho! Cho! Let me in right now! What's wrong?!"
She ignored his cries the best she could. Her vision was blurring now little white dots were clouding her vision, she knew it would be over soon. No! She needed to see his face one last time. Cho collapsed to her knees. Even raising her arm to make yet another slash was difficult. She had almost become accustomed to the pain now, each slash was the same. Blood ran down her arm, the floor had droplets around her.
There was less than she thought there'd been, though.
She heard her fellow Ravenclaw's voices then.
"Cho?! Open up, please!''
Then him.
"Cho. We're coming in now!"
Cho let out a cry as she let an even more deeper cut into her wrist. This just seemed to alarm them more.
"Cho!" he called. Out of all of her former friends' voices, his seemed to hold more emotion, almost as if he was crying.
She didn't even bother to make more cuts, she knew she couldn't live through this. What a short life she's had, sixteen years. Though it seemed worth to just meet him. Slowly she closed her eyes.
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry
At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away
A loud bang caused Cho's eyes to slowly open again, they'd made it through. It was too late though; she could feel life leaving her. Her breath came in shallow, small breaths.
And then she saw him. He had been crying.
He pushed past his and her friends, who watched helplessly, kneeling down beside.
"Oh, Cho," he breathed "What have you done? Why?" tears poured down his face now, same with hers.
Life was leaving her fast now.
"I did it," she said, her voice broken and small "because I love you."
Harry was the last thing Cho ever saw.
And how glad she was.
Every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see your in my dreams
I see your face you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
