Someone Special

Cho Chang was pretty and she knew it - from her early years at Hogwarts, she soon realised that she could have her pick of the boys around.

By the time the Yule Ball was announced in 5th Year, she knew she wouldn't be short of a date. She saw the way that some of the boys looked at her in the corridor, and she strongly suspected that some wanted to ask her out.

When Cedric asked her out, she didn't hesitate to reply in the affirmative - he was good looking, kind, smart and good, and she liked him.

Her only slight regret came when Harry asked her out not long after.

She knew he was so nervous, and offered him a kind smile. She felt very bad about turning him down - he was nice too, and he was the right sort of guy.

As he nodded after hearing her rejection, she walked away feeling mean about it. She wasn't sure whether it was better to have chosen Cedric over Harry, but it was only right that she went with Cedric - he'd asked first.

One thing was for sure, she knew she'd lost the company of someone special.

And that became the story of her life, when she lost another someone special to Lord Voldemort only a few months later. And when her second chancw with Harry Potter came rolling around, she lost him to Ginny Weasley.

There was never anyone else in particular, and she knew she'd lost the chances she had at being with someone special.
