I look in the mirror after a D.A meeting.
Suddenly there is a hand on my shoulder.
I turn around to see Hermione.
"You alright?" she asks me.
I don't answer I just stare at Cedric's picture on the mirror.
"No" I finally say.
"You want to talk about it?" she asks .
Do I? I need to talk to someone but she doesn't need to listen to meet rant.
"Cho if I didn't want to listen I wouldn't have offered" she states clearly reading the expression on my face.
"I side I don't know where to start" I say truthfully.
I expect her to laugh at my dilemma.
she doesn't.
I realize Harry's most likely already invented to her.
"I loved him Hermione I really did." she stays quiet "and now I just feel so guilty."
"Why?" she interrupts me .
"I told him to do it Hermione. I told him to enter. I told him that he should, that it would be a good experience."
I broke off starting to let the chairs slide down my face .
"This is harder than I thought it would be."
"What is?"
"This," I say gesturing around to the air "training, living, moving on"
She looks at me not in pity just wondering what I'm going to say next.
"I try to move on but I can't."
I pause wiping the tears from my face.
"I still love him Hermione and I can't help but think it was all my fault."
"Did you say the curse?" she asks me.
"No." I say.
"Did you force him to put his name in the goblet?"
"No." I say again
"Then how is it your fault? if I remember correctly Cedric was pretty stubborn, if he hadn't wanted to participate he wouldn't have put his name in the goblet."
"That doesn't stop me from feeling guilty." I say when she's done speaking.
"No." she agrees "But true champions aren't always the ones that win but those with the most guts."
I look at her confused. "Harry won." I said.
"Not in his opinion." she tells me. "He thinks Cedric should have won."
"Why?" I question.
"Because they both got the same time and Cedric entered his own name he should have won at least that's what Harry thinks."
"But Harry did it even though he didn't want to" I say
"He had to our risk losing his magic" oh "And since I just put his name in it showed his brave enough to do it."
"Thanks Hermione"
"Anytime." she says "Now come on we don't want to be up to late."
