~Chapter One: Never Been Loved~
She sat in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, alone. She bitted her bottom lips so that the tears won't come out. She was a strong girl, she was taught to be one. Always, the tears would stand behind her eyes, she would never let them out in public. She was, Cho Chang, the most fortunate and unfortunate girl.
Cho was fortunate, she was pretty, popular, athletic, caring, sincere, dependable, and polite. Her father was a wizard, but her mother was a muggle. But for her, being a part muggle wasn't that bad. She enjoyed learning magic, going for a fly, and the other magical things, but she also enjoyed using a computer, telephone, and television. She had advantage to live two different kinds of lives.
Cho was unfortunate, true, she was bought up like a princess, but no one said being a princess is easy. She needed to attend swimming lessons, piano lessons, skating lessons, etc. She was always busy, she didn't have a normal childhood like her friends, enjoy the sun in the summer, make a snowman in the winter. She never had time to do these things, she was surrounded with what her mother called the 'more important things'. She knew her mother was doing good things for her, wanted her to have a better life later on, but she never felt loved. Her father was an Auror, always busy. Once, she hadn't seen him for eight months. She mother was a lawyer, a fairly good muggle job. Her mother taught her to be a lady, 'you should do this, you shouldn't do that; this is right, that is wrong; you need to learn this, you need to learn that'. She knew her mother loves her and wants her to be good at everything, but still, for a ten-year-old girl, it was too much.
When she received her Hogwarts letter, she was so happy, the first word popped up her head was 'freedom'. As her mother wanted, she was sorted into Ravenclaw; as her mother wanted, she got top marks for all her subject; as her mother wanted, she kept learning muggle studies by herself (Math, Science, etc.). She did all these, but she wasn't sure weather she did this for herself or for her mother.
In her entire life, she did only two things that her mother didn't want her to do. One, join the house Quidditch team, her mother thought this sport was too dangerous, but after a few arguments, her mother gave up. The other…
The other was a person who would give her the kind of feeling that no one had ever gave her, love. Yes, her boyfriend, the only person that could make her feel loved. She wasn't allowed, of course, as a Chinese parent, her mother told her she was not to have a boyfriend until her graduation.
Her mother didn't know this, of course, Cho never talked about it in front of her mother. She wasn't planning to fall in love at first place, but Cedric Diggory moved her with his sincerity. Until then, she felt she had never been loved. But now, the only person on the word who made this poor girl felt loved, left her, alone, in this cruel world.
Cho had told herself that there's only three people on the world who loves her, and she can only feel loved by one of them. She never felt so much pain in her life before, her whole world shattered. She had no one, absolutely no one to talk to. Her friends? They only knew a little, she wasn't into telling them the whole story. Her mother? Not unless she want an unthinkable punishment. Her father? A person she hardly know.
She learned to kept her feelings and thoughts to herself a long time ago, she never even tried to persuade her mother to understand her feelings, she knew her mother won't. She hid everything in her little heart, her fragile, bleeding heart.
She learned not to cry. Her mother told her that crying couldn't change anything, so why do so? No matter what had happened, she had to be strong.
She learned not to have emotions. No matter how happy or how sad she was, she still needed to do her daily work.
She did all this for her mother, she did this so that her mother would be happy, so that her mother would be proud of her. She listened to everything her mother says, do everything her mother tells her to do. 'Mom is never wrong' was her philosophy, but that was until she met Cedric. For Cedric, she disobeyed her mother once again.
The train stopped, she stepped out, took her trunk and walk out of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Her mother was standing there waiting for her as usual. Cho smiled and her mother smiled back, putting her trunk on the car. Cho got into the car, having normal conversations with her mother, telling her what happened in the year. Of course eliminated the part that made her heart bleed.
However, she wasn't that lucky, " I heard someone died during the Triwizard Tournament. Who was he?" Her mother asked, not knowing her daughter's misery.
Cho took a deep breath before replying, "Cedric Diggory."
"Oh, do you know him?" Her mother asked carelessly.
"Yes, I know him, he was my friend."
"Ok, a close friend?"
"Yes, a close friend, may I go to his funeral then?" Cho asked, hoping her mother would approve. She wondered why they deleted the funeral that long.
"Sure, tell me when and where, I'll drive you there."
"Thank you, mom." Cho replied with a bitter smile. "Is dad home?"
"No, he was so busy this month, what happened? Do you know? I haven't read the Daily Prophet for a while."
"Voldemort was back alive." Cho answered quietly. His father had told her over a hundred time not to say his name out, but she called him by Voldemort before, and she would call him by Voldemort now.
"The Dark Lord?!" Her mother said in a terrified tone.
"Yes." Cho answered, in a clam and tender voice.
"Oh my god! He killed the boy?"
"Yes."
"No one is safe now?"
"Mom, don't worry, we'll be safe, we will." It was her turn to console her mother, she did it quite often, but her mother never consoled her.
A/N: That's the first chapter, it's sad isn't it, oh well, I just like to make people miserable, doesn't mean I hate Cho or anything, she is my favourite character.
