Okay, this is my first songfic, and it's not very well written, so go easy on me. Constructive critisism is welcome. No flames! I'll melt.
Oh yeah, and I won't forget:
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Nothing at all. Cho and Cedric all belong to the Harry Potter series, which I did not write. J.K Rowling has to take credit for that. 'Here With Me' is also not written nor is it performed by me, but by Michelle Branch. Have we all got the all-clear on that? Alrighty then.
...!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?...
It's been a long, long time since I looked
Into the mirror
I guess that I was blind
Now my reflection's getting clearer
------------------------------------------------
Cho stared blankly into the mirror in her dormitory. Her hand found it's way to the glass and her fingers softly touched her reflection. A tear rolled down her cheek.
Was she the same girl she was before?
------------------------------------------
Now that you're gone
Things will never be the same again
--------------------------------------------
Her memory slid back to seeing him, his body lying on the ground. Dead.
-------------------------------------------
There's not a minute that goes by
Every hour of every day
You're such a part of me
But I just pulled away
-------------------------------------------
She let another tear trickle down from her eye. She remembered freezing at the sight. She went cold, numb.
Then came the screams.
"He's dead!"
"Dead!"
"Cedric Diggory! Dead!"
---------------------------------------------------
Well I'm not the same girl
You used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed
---------------------------------------------------
She remembered Dumbledore announcing the news to everyone. Who had murdered him. Reality really hit her then; she let it all go. The tears rolled down her face, uncontrollably. She had never said how she really felt to him. Now it was too late.
----------------------------------------------
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
--------------------------------------------
Cho looked away from the mirror. The memories were too painful. She couldn't even face herself.
----------------------------------------------
You know that silence is loud
When all you hear is your heart
----------------------------------------------
She fell back on her bed, sobbing silently to herself.
A light wind blew through an open window; the same wind that blew past her as she walked along the lake after the feast. It filled her with even more sadness, if that was possible. He wouldn't be able to comfort Cho; He was no longer at her side.
------------------------------------------
And I wanted so badly
Just to be a part
Of something strong and true
But I was scared and left it all behind
-------------------------------------------------
She remembered the time they'd spent together. When he asked her to the Yule Ball. Her friends had giggled, but Cho smiled and accepted. He had saved her, too, from the Merpeople in the bottom of the Lake. She remembered clearly the look he had on his face, the moment she regained her conciousness. It was one of relief, and it was clear, then, that he really loved her.
-------------------------------------------
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
Here with me
-------------------------------------------------
Her longing for him to come back was so strong - it was incomprehensible.
-----------------------------------------------
And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you to come back to me
Please?
--------------------------------------------------
"Come back, Cedric" Cho whispered under her breath. Tears blurred her view and mingled into her jet black hair.
-------------------------------------------------
I never will forget that look
Upon your face
How you turned away
And left without a trace
But I understand that you did what you had to do
And I thank you
----------------------------------------------------------
Cho sat up and dried her eyes. She could stop the crying but not the misery that had settled over her.
-----------------------------------------
I know you had to go away
I died just a little
And I feel it now
You're the one I need
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me
--------------------------------------------
She heard her friends calling her outside the dormitory. Cho looked back into the mirror once more to make sure all evidence of her crying had gone. Then she turned and walked out the door, ready to face another day.

Here with me
