All characters belong to J.K Rowling, of course.



Sorry this took so long but I had yearlies and everything so I didn't have time to go online.

Well, I don't like this chapter (actually, I hate it) but I don't really know how to fix it up (well, to be honest, I really couldn't be bothered! ^_^!)

Oh, and Faraway, thanks for the critical comments! I'm not very good at detail and your comments were really helpful! ^_^! Thanks heaps!

Chapter Two

Harry looked up. Cho was kneeling on the damp ground, looking far out towards the sky. She turned her head and looked up at Harry. "I.I'm sorry. It's just, I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so .so blank." she began.

Harry felt awkward. Is she talking about Cedric? He didn't know what to do. Instead he unslung her robes from his shoulder. "Uh, what do you want me to do with these?" said Harry. Despite what was happening, Harry still went a bit red. He had been so anxious before that he hadn't realised that she was wearing nothing but a filmy drapery.

Cho didn't appear to hear him so Harry tried to drop them inconspicuously around her when he noticed a brown leather book fall out. He picked it up and made a mental note to give it back when he got her inside. She looked up at him and smiled sadly. "Thanks, Harry."

"For what?" he asked, a bit uncertainly.

"For bringing Cedric's body back. It. it must have been hard and." she trailed off.

"I had to," said Harry softly. The thing he had been fighting on and off for ages with suddenly broke out. "It was my fault. I told him to take the Cup with me. I should have listened to him. I knew it had been too easy getting through the tournament. I knew there had to be some reason for my name coming out of the Goblet."

"No, it's not your fault at all. Don't blame yourself because that's not fair. None of it was your fault but you still brought him back," said Cho quietly. "You better get inside. It's cold out here and you'll catch a cold or something."

"You'd better get inside before you catch a cold or something," said Harry.

"I. I want to stay a little longer. You'd better go now. And. well. goodbye Harry."

"Cho."

"Yes."

"Cedric wouldn't have wanted this," began Harry softly, "He wouldn't have wanted you to waste your life for him. You know he would have wanted you to be happy, no matter what happens." Harry looked at Cho.

"Wouldn't you be upset if someone you loved or cared about shattered their life all because of you?" Harry looked at her again, then gently lifted her up. "Come on, let's go inside."

1.1.1.2 Oh, and please tell me how I can fix this up. Give me ideas or tips or something. (if someone helps me, I might be bothered to fix it up but otherwise, I'm too lazy -terrible I know, but I can't help my personality! ^_^!)
