"Oh! They're my favorite!"

"I know, humor me," Cedric said with a grin.

"What type are they?" Cho smiled with pleasure as she took in the scents of the wonderful smelling flowers. "Mmm..." she sighed. Today was so perfect, and her Cedric knew exactly what flowers she liked.

"They're lilies, you love 'em," Cedric said with a lopsided smile, he closed his light blue eyes as Cho tiptoed to deliver a kiss on his forehead.

"You remembered!" Cho said in mock surprise.

"Of course, my princess," Cedric kneeled down on the floor and took her hand, kissing it.

Cho smiled at him, "You are so adorable!" she said gleefully as Cedric picked her up and spun her around the room.

"And you," he started before taking a deep breath. "are gaining weight!"

Cho's jaw dropped open, she arched an eyebrow, "Cedric!" she said with surprise, she playfully hit him on his forhead before she started messing up his fine, blonde hair.

"Cho, I'm going to get you for that!" Cho's eyes widened before she jumped out of Cedric's arms and ran away from him.

Cedric started chasing her around the field, before he finally took a hold of her arm and dragged both of them onto the grass. Cho shrieked with giggles as Cedric started to tickle her with no mercy.

"Cedr--stop--it!" Cho managed to say between giggles. Cedric stopped, he looked at her. Her short raven hair was swept around the grass and her eyes were smiling at him. Brown eyes? Cedric looked deeper her brown eyes weren't really brown.

"Cho, you have hazel eyes," Cedric said.

Cho looked at him incredulously, "You can tell?"

"You told me you had brown eyes," Cedric pointed out.

Cho laughed, "They're almost brown!"

"Hazel," Cedric started to help her up so she sat next to him.

"Brown."

"Hazel."

"Brown."

Cedric stopped and turned her towards him, "Cho, you're so beautiful," he said after a long moment of silence.

Cho looked back at him, "It's these days, they're beautiful."

Cedric lightly kissed her on the lips and Cho leaned her head on his shoulder. "I love you."

Cho opened her hazelesque eyes, the first thing she saw was Cedric Diggory.

"Are you alright?" Cedric asked.

Cho got up and looked at him before sighing out, "My he-ro!"

"My princess," Cedric said so lightly only she could hear.

Cho sobbed into her pillow, thinking about a past that once was and never would be again.

"Cedric.."
