Oliver was there. He looked like he wanted to help me, but I pretended that
I didn't see him. He had turned and walked away in the end, looking
sad...but after all, wasn't he the one who said that we shouldn't be
together anymore? He was the one that was suppose to be angry with me. He
was the one who said that I kept thinking of Cedric and neglected him.
Which is true to some extent. It was my fault he got so unhappy. He tried
ways and means to console me...but I just kept going on and on about
Cedric.
But Cedric just died a few days ago. He was my best friend. Was it wrong of me to grieve for him? Was it my fault that his death caused me so much sadness?
Or was it simply all my fault, because I neglected Oliver?
I couldn't believe what was going on. In a span of a few days I had lost my best friend and the boy I loved most. He didn't give me a chance to answer that day...but yes, I loved him more than I loved Cedric. In fact, I didn't even LOVE Cedric... He was just my best friend. I didn't feel anything more for him than I would have felt for a normal friend.

The train arrived at King's Cross Station. I saw Oliver get down the train and Disapparate. I didn't have that privilege. I was still a student. And he? He was working in the Ministry. I sighed and scratched my head in frustration. I couldn't seem to get Oliver out of my mind. And judging from the way Oliver had alighted from the train, laughing...it seems like he has gotten me out of his.
On my way to the barrier between the magical and the normal world, I was stopped by Fred and George Weasley.
"Hey Cho..." Fred began.
"If it's about Cedric's death, or me being Cedric's girlfriend, I don't want to hear it," I told them truthfully.
"Nono, Cho...you misunderstand us. How could you? We're so hurt..." George put on a hurt look.
"Okay..." I smiled weakly. "So what is it about?"
"Well, we've heard about you and Oliver..." said Fred, trailing off.
"Oh."
"Is that all you can say? 'Oh'? Don't you even mind that Oliver told us about the both of you?" said George.
"Well, it's his freedom. After all, both of you are his friends..." I replied.
"Oh, okay. But I just want to say that I'm sad for you," said Fred.
"What? Why?"
"Because I know what it feels like to be on that side of the break-up. I've been there..." Fred replied.
"You? And...Oh. That Chaser...Angelina Johnson, was it?"
"Yeah, it was..." Fred said. "And well, I just want to say...Take it easy, okay? It's no biggie."
"Thanks, Fred. I don't even know you that well, and you're actually consoling me. It just feels so...weird." I grinned. "Thanks a lot, guys. But I think it'd take me a while before I will really and totally get over him. I bet Fred hasn't gotten over Angelina yet."
Fred turned red.
"I'll talk to Angelina one of these days...I'll ask her what happened. And then I'll tell you what to do to get her back." I smiled cheekily.
"REALLY? THANKS CHO!" Fred suddenly jumped and down with excitement.
"Hey...that wasn't what you were hoping to hear...was it?" I looked at Fred suspiciously.
He grinned. "Heh."
George said, "He's a sly one. He was WAITING for you to say that."
"I knew it." I laughed. "Okay, guys...I have to go. Thanks for making me laugh."
"You're very welcome. Just remember to talk to Angelina." Fred grinned.
I smiled and walked through the barrier. My parents were waiting.
