Author: Riku
Pairings: Eventual Harry/Cho, established R/H
Warnings: Spoilers from the 4th book, slight angst, sap
Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me --;;
Note: //lalalala// = thought. This is the first part of my trilogy
and I don't think you can tell where I'm going to go with this one. This is my
first Harry Potter fanfic, so if you could review, that would be really nice~
And I guess that's it for all the notes.
As Harry Potter exited the Hogwarts express for the sixth time in his life, he couldn't find his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He wasn't worried though as his two best friends were probably off snogging somewhere. //It would be nice to have a girlfriend// Harry thought as a picture was forming in his mind. It was from the end of his fourth year, of a crying girl. She looked so elegant but the pain in her eyes were so visible.
Cho Chang.
The name of the girl that caught his eye in third year, opened his heart in fourth year and stole it in his fifth year. Harry realized long ago that he couldn't do anything about his feelings because of Cedric Diggory. She was in love with him, that much was plain to see, and when he had died, it was as though a part of her was killed with him.
The wind started to pick up a little and a piece of paper was flying in front of him. Without realizing what he was doing, his seeker-reflexes grabbed the piece of paper. He knew that it was wrong to read it but you can only curb your curiosity a certain amount. And the piece of paper had the name Cho Chang on it.
"September 1st
Another train ride back to Hogwarts. My last train ride back. You would think that by my 7th year, I'd be used to the train. But that would be predictable and life is supposed to be unpredictable. In a good or bad way, I'm not sure. It's been exactly 2 years since I met him. We were both prefects on the same car going to the meeting when I bumped into him. I felt this instant connection, like in a cheesy romance novel. But that was my relationship with him, a perfect romance.
I can feel his arms around me when I close my eyes. I can smell his sweet cologne whenever I step into a room. I can taste his kisses before I got to sleep.
But as I face reality, it's been over a year and a bit. I know I'll never see him again. He's lying six feet under in a cold coffin. Dead. I once heard that the truth shall set you free. Then why am I still here, so alone and empty? Maybe it's the realization of the bigger truth that will set me free. Free to be with Cedric.
- Cho Chang"
Harry stood in his spot, frozen. How was he to know that Cho was going through such depression, even after a year?
//Voldemort. It's all about him. Everyone's going through so much because of one man. Well, you aren't about to hurt Cho any longer. I'll do whatever I can to make her happy again. Teach her how to love again. But, I can't do it if she knows it's me, or any guy for that matter. I think to her, we all just want to get into her pants and Cedric was the only one with pure intentions. I think I know what to do.//

Ahh, the end of the prologue. What's going to happened? You see, Harry has gotten an idea that will help Cho out. =] But I guess I'll try to have the other part out before the new year. That is if anyone still wants it XD
