Harry held her close.
"Please don't die on me. Please don't die on me." He said.
Madame Pomfrey came running in with the other teachers.
"Get her on the bed." Madame Pomfrey said.
Snape and Mcgonagal took Cho out of Harry's arms and got her on the bed.
"Potter please.. you have to-" Madame Pomfrey began to say.
"No I can't leave. Cho could die right now and I will not leave her side until I know she's safe and is going to be fine." He said.
"But-" she began to say again.
"Let him stay Poppy." Professor McGonagal said.
Harry saw Madame Pomfrey look at Professor McGonagal with a look that was solemn.
"I'll explain later Potter. You just sit down over near the corner and I will explain once I'm done here." Professor McGonagal said.
Harry nodded and sat down in one of the chairs holding the invisibility cloak. Soon curtains went around her bed and all of the teachers except for McGonagal left. She walked over to him and sighed.
"We've managed to get a pulse on Miss. Chang. And she is still alive but she'll remain unconscious for a while. Her heart is weak. It appears some pressure was put into it. It'll take some time to heal." She said.
Harry nodded as he closed his eyes and put his face in his hands. McGonagal looked at him with tears forming in her eyes.
"You remind me so much of your father Potter. He was the same way whenever your mother got hurt." She said softly.
Harry looked up to her and then down at the ground.
"He loved your mother with all of his heart just like you love Miss. Chang. He'd stay by her side morning to night; night to morning until he knew for sure she was fine. That truly is love." She said.
"When will she wake up though?" he said voice breaking a bit.
"All in good time. You can see her now and you don't have to worry. I've arranged for you to stay by her side as long as you need to." She said.
Harry nodded and Professor McGonagal walked out.
Harry got up and walked over to Cho's bed. He opened the curtains and reclosed them again. Cho was lying on the bed with her hands out and she looked as pale as ever. He sat down beside her and took her hand in his again. He was truly scared now.
"Cho, I know you can't hear me right now but I want you to know how much I love you." He looked at her and sighed still holding her hand tightly. "I never wanted this to happen to you. If Voldemort wanted to kill anyone it should've been me. He shouldn't have tried to get you."
Of course there was no response from Cho. Harry didn't know how to feel now. Again Voldemort had come after him but he used Cho to get through him. And now Cho was near her end with the venom in her and the pressure on her heart. He kissed her hand tenderly and held it close to his face.
"You don't know how much I need you. How much I want to be with you. Cho if I lose you I don't what I'll do." He said softly.
For the first time in his life he felt tears in his eyes. For the first time famous Harry Potter was crying and over his first love. This time Harry knew if he got up, Cho wouldn't be awake if he turned around like she did the last time. Harry felt hopeless. Tears still rolled down his cheek. He didn't feel this way whenever he though of his parents. He felt sadness over come him but never has he gone to the verge of tears. Then he realized that besides Sirius, his parents, and all his friends, that he really did love and care for Cho. He wiped some of the tears away.
"Tears. I never cry. But I can't stand the thought of losing you." He said softly.
Harry held on to her hand and kissed it once more. "I might lose you. And to evil too. Please don't die on me. I love you.." he said once more.
That night Harry stayed with Cho for the rest of the evening.
The next morning Ron, Samantha, Paige, and Hermione went to the Hospital Wing to see them both. Ron and Hermione tried to pull him away. But they didn't succeed.
"You need to eat!" Hermione squeaked.
"I'm not hungry." Harry replied.
"You need to get some sleep." Ron urged.
"I'm not tired." He said.
"Er, you need to do your homework to be prepared for O.W.L. S." Paige said.
"I got excused from it since V- you-know-who came after.. Cho." He said softly not looking at them but at Cho.
They all sat in silence. Ron sighed and put his hand on Harry's shoulder apparently in a guilty mood since he yelled at him the night before.
"No one could've prevented what happened. She's not dead just.. Unconscious." He said.
But he still stayed silent, still holding on to Cho's hand. Samantha walked over to him.
"Harry, get some sleep, something to eat, relax, think of something else." Samantha said comfortingly.
"Relax? Think of something else? Forget about the fact that Voldemort wanted to kill me but then came after Cho? Forget about the fact that right now Cho could be dying slowly? No Samantha I don't think I can." He snapped.
Samantha stepped back. Everyone was so shocked to see Harry react like that. He sighed.
"Look I'm sorry but I-I just can't leave Cho. If I do somehow I know I will regret it." He said.
They didn't bother to get him away. Hermione and Paige just sat there aimlessly knowing they couldn't do anything. Samantha was sitting on Ron's lap and he had his arms around her. Both were looking at Harry and Cho. Harry just stayed in the spot he was in; holding on to Cho's hand and almost forgetting he wasn't alone.
Brief A/N: You're now entering Cho's mind or at least where her souls gone to.
It was a pale white scenery. It looked like a lost dimension and in the middle of it all was a girl in white robes with black hair. Her eyes started to flutter and she slowly opened her eyes. She slowly got up to a sitting position. She didn't know where she was and the place she was in was all new to her. She got up suddenly panting and breathing rapidly. She was scared and terrified.
"I can't be. I just can't be. No. No I'm not Cho get a hold of yourself. " She said softly to herself.
"And you're right. You're not." A voice said behind her.
She turned around and stopped in her tracks. "Oh.. Oh my god." She said softly.
Tears started to form but she didn't know if it was of happiness or sadness. Maybe it was both but whatever it was she couldn't believe her eyes.
"C-C-Cedric?" she said softly.
And it was true. It was Cedric Diggory who was right behind her.
"Oh my god. Cedric!" she said again.
Cho went up to him and hugged him and he did the same to her. Cho's eyes filled with tears and slowly came down. Cedric held her close.
"Shhhh. Don't cry Cho please don't." he said.
"I just can't believe this. Cedric, y-y-you're dead. A-a-a-and if I'm here then that must mean I am too." she said softly.
He smiled slightly. "Not necessarily. You're not dead although you are a fallen angel who was put on earth." He said.
Cho looked up at him and smiled. She put her hand on his face and he put his hand on that very hand.
"For so long I've missed your touch. Your smile. Your beauty. Everything about you." He said softly.
"I missed you so much as well. But I feel so guilty." She said as she walked away from him.
"You have no reason to feel guilty." He said as he walked up to her.
"But, Cedric I found someone else who I love even more dearly than I loved you." She said.
"I've seen. I've been watching you Cho and this is exactly what they want to see and what I want for you." He said.
She turned to face him. "They? Who's they?" she asked.
"Us." 2 more voices said as they appeared.
Cho recognized them completely. They were Harry's parents. Harry had shown her the photo album Hagrid had given him in his first year and she say the picture of him when he was a baby being held by his parents. Cho stood there in amazement.
"Cho, you've blessed our son with so much love in his heart and we know that he loves you with all the love that he can send. You have nothing to worry about." James said.
Lily walked up to her and shook her hand.
"I want to thank you." Lily said.
"F-f-for what Mrs. Potter?" she asked.
"For sheltering my son with love. You may not know this now but the both of you..well you hold a new legacy. You are the same image of James and I when we were in Hogwarts. Plus my dear, Harry loves you with all his heart like he would've loved us if we had lived." Lily said.
Cho was a little confused.
"But of course he would have to love the both of you more than he loves me." Cho said.
"It is true. He does. But you brought the love to him. He loves you with all of his heart Cho. And I know you seemed troubled by it now but you did nothing wrong." Lily said.
Cho nodded and looked at them all, not knowing what to say. Cedric sighed and hugged her again. Cho realized it was their time for closure.
Lily walked over to James and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and then with one wave of his hand he created a vision in the pale white scenario. At first it was blurry and no one could make out anything.
"Oh James." Lily said shaking her head and laughing a little bit. With one wave of her hand the vision was clear.
Cho departed from Cedric and slowly walked towards the vision. The vision was of Harry still in the Hospital Wing by Cho's side. He was holding on to her hand and looking at the promise ring he had given her. He sighed and kissed her hand again. As Cho was watching she put her near the vision as though she were to touch it. She had a strong feeling that if she did she would be able to touch him. But she put her hand on the vision and it shimmered.
"Harry." She said softly to herself.
She stepped back and continued watching. Harry looked at the ring and for some reason he was almost at the verge to laugh.
"I should've told you on Valentines Day that this ring wasn't from Hogsmeade." He said softly. Cho looked at the ring. The two heart shaped diamonds gleamed brightly. She turned around and saw James and Lily were holding to each other's hands tightly. Lily was biting her lower lip to keep in the tears. She turned back and continued to watch.
"It used to belong to my mum. My dad gave it to her the night he said he loved her and he vowed to her that they'd marry and be together forever. Through thick and thin." He said.
Cho smiled slightly and tears started to form once more.
"I thought it would've been a great present for you. And I guess it was. It hasn't left your finger once." He said.
"And it never will Harry. It never will." Cho said to the vision even though she knew he couldn't hear her.
Harry looked at her and sighed again. "People are starting to think we're the spitting image of my parents when they were in Hogwarts." He said smiling slightly. "They think that because we love each other so much."
Cho smiled and wiped the tears that were falling away. Harry looked out to the sky and say stars. He sighed and held on tightly to her hand again. He started to push some hair that was on her face away.
"That star I just saw at this moment, I wish right now that you'll come back to me." He said softly.
The vision then disappeared.
Sad and Short I guess. Lol. No one's reviewing but that's ok I'm just writing for the love of it. Lol. But it would be nice to get some. ~Cho Potter
Harry held her close.
"Please don't die on me. Please don't die on me." He said.
Madame Pomfrey came running in with the other teachers.
"Get her on the bed." Madame Pomfrey said.
Snape and Mcgonagal took Cho out of Harry's arms and got her on the bed.
