Here is another installment! I'm going to be doing more, I
just have to get going on them! If anyone has any ideas for songs, give me
ideas! I would love them!
The song is "My Immortal" by Evanascence.
My Immortal
Professor Dumbledore stared at the girl with pity and compassion in his eyes.
"Miss. Chang," he asked softly. "It's Professor Dumbledore, the doctor said that you wanted to see me."
Cho looked up at the wise old man, and smiled. "Hello, sir. I wanted to know when you and the other professors will be deciding who will be Head Girl. I hope that I'm in the running."
Dumbledore sighed; the poor girl didn't even know what year it was anymore. "Miss. Chang, it's been three years since Mr. Diggory's death, you've been St. Mungo's for two and a half of those years… do you not remember any of it?"
Tears welled up in Cho's eyes, and Dumbledore sighed once again. Cho had fallen into a deep depression after Cedric had died, she would go through spurts of anger, then dissolve into tears at the mere mention of her former boyfriend's name. Eventually she regressed into what muggle doctors called "Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder", she refused to believe that Cedric was dead. She would make plans to be with him over the weekend and then get upset when he wouldn't show. She began to speak of him as if he was alive and the teachers finally took her out of school and, with the approval of her parents, institutionalized her. Now she was a shell of the former, vibrant girl she used to be.
Professor Dumbledore stroked his long, white beard and stood up. Cho immediately stood up as well and grabbed one of his hands.
"Professor Dumbledore, will you please tell Cedric to visit me more? I miss him very much."
"Yes, I know child, we all do."
Dumbledore left the 18-year-old girl and she lay down on her bed. She lifted a hand to her dry cheek and wondered why there were no tears. She wished that Cedric would come visit her, he used to come, a long time ago… and sometimes, she could still hear his voice talking to her, telling her she was the only one for him. Now she was alone, and it scared her very much sometimes. Sometimes, she wished his voice would just go away, she wished she would be alone again.
I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
She remembered how it felt when they had told her Cedric was dead; a wave of torment had hit her. A pain that was so deep spread through her body and she knew she would never be the same again.
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
They were such a perfect couple, they met each other before Hogwarts, their parents had been friends… soon Cedric and Cho spent all of their time together and the adults would smile indulgently and plan a future wedding between the two. It had taken Cedric 6 years at Hogwarts to finally ask her on a date, the Yule Ball, but it was worth it. He was her best friend, and she was always there for him.
when you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
and I've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
He was so perfect to her, light brown hair, chocolate brown
eyes, and a face that could light up with a smile and just as easily frown in
determination. He was a seeker, as she was, and the competition between them
was always fierce. He never knew that sometimes, during practices between them,
she would let him win just so she could see the expression on his face as he
caught the snitch.
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now I'm bound by the life you left behind
The Yule Ball was a breathtaking event. She was a bit annoyed
at first with Harry Potter for cheating Cedric out of the glory of being the
only Hogwarts champion but soon realized that it wasn't the poor boys fault…
plus he was awfully cute and embarrassed when he asked her to the Ball, it
softened a part of her heart for him. Cedric was a wonderful date, whispering
words to her as they danced, looking at her as if she was the most beautiful
girl there. When he had taken her back up to her room, he gave her the sweetest
first kiss any girl could ever have.
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
She had moments of sanity, like the one soon after Dumbledore
had left. But they were brief and fleeting. She wanted to believe that he was
gone, that she could go on with her life, with her friends and family… but he
was always there, and it was so hard to give him up.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Cho lifted herself from the bed and looked out her little window. Although the scenery was bleak, what she saw was a young boy and a young girl holding hands and kissing softly. Salty tears ran down her face and she lifted a hand to her damp cheek. Tears came now, flowing down her face and dripping to the floor. A sob tore from her throat and she finally believed.
He was gone.
