Today a bunch of us from the quiddich team got together and went out for coffee. It was nice to see people, but i felt that everyone was acting a bit strange towards me. Maybe i am just delusional, but it seems that since Cedric's death everyone has expected me to be some sort of grieving widow. It's weird. I mean I miss Cedric terribly, but I am sure that so do many other people. It was a tragic thing that happened to Cedric. He was so kind, and full of life, and his life was ended so senselessly and needlessly. I can still see him laughing and enjoying life, but he's dead, and no amount of grief can bring him back.
I think Ced would be appalled to see the way people are taking his death as an excuse for pessimism and anger. Cedric never hated anyone in his life. Hatred was not in his nature. I know he would berate all of us for using him as an excuse. "Cho" he'd say, "get back on your broom and beat those Slytherins", then he'd kiss me and hold me gently in his strong arms, not possessively but merely because he liked the feeling, then he'd laugh, pinch my butt, wink at me and walk away. No use dwelling on the dead. Roger told me that, but I don't think his motives were entirely altruistic. Roger's a great guy, but I know he felt threatened by cedric, and is glad to be able to mourn his death rather than resent his life. I'm sure he doesn't realize this of course, but it is true on a subconscious level.
I don't know why I feel i can't mourn for Cedric. He brought a richness to my life, mocking me for taking life too severely; he forced me to relax and live a little. I must not forget that lesson, for in honoring it, i think i can best honor his memory.
So, back to the living...
A few teams have offered me positions on them, but I think I'd be a fool not to at least finish school first. After all, one can only play quiddich a short while before one gets too old. And then where would I be without having graduated. Besides, much as I like quiddich, I think I might prefer a more intellectual vocation in the end. If the teams really are interested they will still want me when I am done with school in two years. Right? It might be fun to be a quiddich player for a while, but I am leaning more and more towards teaching. Professor McGonagall told me she thought I'd make a fine teacher; and that, if I was still interested when I got out of school, she would train me herself. So it's not as if quiddich were the only thign I am good for
