Forever... Part III

All right! The long awaited Part 3! No recap this time. I had NO reviews on Part II, so I'll
make this one even better!

Harry lowered his wand.
"Drop it," Cedric said. Harry obeyed, but only to save Cho's life.
"All right. What do you want me to do?" Harry asked. Cho was still standing there,
petrified with fear, Cedric's wand about an inch from her neck.
"I don't want anything from you. I want something from Cho," Cedric said.
"Wh-what do you want from me?" she stuttered.
"Oh, I think you know. Your secret. The secret of Rowena Ravenclaw," he said.
"No!" Harry said. "Don't give it to him, Cho!"
"Oh, I think you better stay out of this, Harry. Or else," Cedric said. He thrust his
wand into Cho's neck. Her eyes widened with even more fear.
"Wait a minute Cedric. Let's just talk this out," Harry said.
"There's nothing to talk about, Harry. I want the power for my master, and I will not
deny him," Cedric said.
"All right, Cedric. How about a duel. For Cho. The winner gets her, and the loser has
to leave the country forever," Harry said.
"Well, if you win I leave the country, because you're too much of a goody-two-shoes to
kill me. I would kill you," Cedric said.
"So, does that mean you'll duel?" Harry said.
"All right," Cedric lowered his wand. Cho relaxed.
"But no funny business, girl," Cedric said with hatred in his voice.
"All right. Ready? Now, we bow," Harry said. He had attended the Dueling Club at
Hogwarts for a very short time, and had learned only the Disarming Spell, which might be quite
useful right here. But in his duel with Voldemort last year, Harry had learned to bow, or else
you might be forced to. They bowed. Harry and Cedric both raised their wands.
"Furnunculus!" Harry yelled, just as Cedric yelled "Stupefy!" The spells ricocheted off
of each other and Cedric's stunning spell hit Cho. She collapsed on the ground. Harry ran over
to her, pointed his wand at her and said "Ennervate." She woke up. But Cedric took advantage
of Harry's lack of concentration to hit him with a spell. Harry just realized his mistake in
time, and whirled around, just as Cedric bellowed, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" Harry jumped out of the way,
but the spell hit Cho.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!" He saw the horrified look on Cho's face as she fell to the ground, dead.
"Well. That's that. The power is transfered to the one who killed her. I have the
power, and I will give it to my master. My work is done. I have no more purpose for you Harry,
and it doesn't seem I can kill you, so I will erase your memory. Obliviate!" The spell hit
Harry, and he lost all recollection of where he was, why he was there, or what had just happened.
"Oh. Hello, Sir. What are you going to do with that pretty girl taking a nap on the
ground? If you don't want her, I'll take her," Harry said dazedly.
"Oh, you can have her, but for your information, she's not taking a nap," Cedric said, laughing. But there
was something about that laugh that Harry remembered. He remembered something about a secret power. And that
pretty girl on the ground. She had a name. Harry liked her.
"Di-di-diggo-Diggory! Cedric Diggory! And that's Cho Chang! She's not taking a nap, she's dead!"
Harry yelled. His memory was suddenly back. But with it came a pang of sorrow. Cho was dead. Cho, the one girl
whom he had loved since his 3rd year, was dead.
"What? How can you remember that?!" Cedric shreiked. But Harry didn't hear him. Everything went
black, and he vaguely felt himself hit the ground. Then he saw her. It was Cho, walking toward him. He wanted to
run to her, and throw his arms around her, but he couldn't move. He was stuck, standing in that one spot. Then he
noticed that she was glowing with a brilliant light that seemed to make her even more beautiful.
"Harry? Listen to me. I don't have much time. My power has been transfered to you, not Cedric.
Apparently, he didn't know as much as he thought he did about it. The power is transfered to the one the original
holder loves, not who kills her. Unless she loves no one. Then it is given to the one who killed her. But if you
accept my offer, you won't need the power. You can come with me. You can come with me, and we will be together
forever! Come with me now, Harry! Please?" Cho said. Harry's mind was racing. He couldn't decide. Be with Cho
forever, or stay with his friends. He thought for a long time. Then he decided.
"Cho, I would love more than anything to come live with you forever, but I can't. I can't leave Ron, and
Hermione, and all my other friends on Earth! I'm so sorry!" Harry said. He truly was.
"Okay, Harry. I'll look in on you from time to time. I'll always be with you. Forever," she said. With
that, Harry was able to move, and ran toward Cho. He threw his arms around her, and kissed her, for the last time.
It felt so good, he wished he didn't have to ever stop, but after about 2 minutes, but which seemed like 5 seconds to
Harry, Cho started to fade, and suddenly, Harry was grasping thin air. He could hear her echoey voice one last time.
It sounded beautiful.
"Good bye, Harry. Good bye."

OK. That was the 3rd part, which was, in my opinion better than the 1st 2. I'll probably make a sequal, but I don't
know yet. If I do make one, I know the plot already. Please R/R! Thanx.
