After much talking with my friends and half an hour of sitting, the sun was beginning to set and the hues turned purple, pink, and orange. I looked around the maze and wondered what was going on inside. I wished that I could through the maze to find out what Cedric was doing. It was then when Harry came tumbling out of the face, slamming hard to the ground. He was holding someone…but I couldn't quite make out who it was. I stood up and saw that it was Cedric.

"Oh my gosh!" the words tumbled from my mouth.

Professor Dumbledore, the Minister of Magic along with the other judges crowded around Harry, making it impossible to see him or Cedric. Fudge mumbled something to Dumbledore and the words were repeated and others began shouting it out.

"He's dead!"

"He's dead!"

"Cedric Diggory! Dead!"

The words took awhile to go through and process in my brain. I saw Dumbledore lean down and pick Harry up. The crowd of people from the stands began jumping down out of their seats and crowded around Harry. Marietta, Emily, SuYoung, Min, and I jumped from our seats and ran over close to Harry.

"Diggory's dead!"

"Cho…it can't be true," Emily assured.

"He'll need to go to the hospital wing!" Fudge said. "He's ill, he's injured." His voice grew quiet and he spoke to Dumbledore.

Tears formed in my eyes as I watched Harry, Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic. I then noticed Cedric's father running to the field to see what was going on. Mr. Diggory reached Dumbledore and Fudge and they turned around to talk to him not noticing that Professor Moody had lifted Harry up and carried him off of the field and back into Hogwarts. Some other girls began to sob as they saw Cedric's body lifted up by Mr. Diggory and Dumbledore suddenly walked away from the scene and followed Professor Moody but careful not to be seen.

I tried to make my way through the crowd, to follow Mr. Diggory. I wanted to know what was wrong with Cedric but the crowd pushed me back. Professor McGonagall was heard yelling orders for everyone to go back to the castle. Marietta tugged at me to follow her.

"Cho, let's go…"

I whined. "Marietta! Cedric—"

"He'll be okay. You heard Fudge; he's probably injured or something and not able to walk."

Tears fell as I followed everyone back into the castle. My friends and I walked up to the Ravenclaw Tower and into the common room. I hurried off to my dormitory and sat myself onto my bed, crying and I couldn't stop. I yearned for Cedric – I wanted to know what was going on. I crawled off of the bed and opened my trunk. I pulled out the charm bracelet Cedric had given me and kissed it. I clutched it in my hands and lay back down on my bed. I was in the dormitory for nearly an hour. I stood up and walked over to my window and sat on the sill, clutching the bracelet for dear life. The moon was beginning to rise and the stars twinkled brightly. I looked over to the field, the maze was still there. People were still on the field but the students were all in their common rooms.

Marietta came into the dormitory and sat beside me. I didn't even hear her come in."Erm, Cho?"

I wiped away the tears and sniffed. I looked at her.

"Professor Flitwick wants to see you for a moment…" her voice faded.

I stood up, walked out of the dormitory and to the common room where Professor Flitwick was waiting. He told me to follow him into Dumbledore's office. I put the bracelet in my robe pocket and wrapped my robe tighter around me, crying with my arms crossed. Flitwick said the password to Dumbledore's office and we walked in. I saw Cedric's parents – his mother was crying and his father's lip was trembling, I knew he was trying hard to be strong but he could break easily. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk and he motioned me to sit down in an armchair in front of his desk and I did.

He took a deep breath but I knew what he was going to say. "I can't tell you in any other way possible, Cho and as you know it seems tough already but…" Dumbledore hesitated. "Cedric is dead."

I broke instantly and I heard Cedric's mother sob. I cried, tears rolling down my face uncontrollably.

"The two of you were very close and it's the best to tell you."

I buried my face in my hands and cried. It was more than I could handle. A few hours ago I was talking with Cedric…I kissed him… How was I to know that it was our last kiss? That I should have savored every moment of it? It was hard and I didn't know what to do.

"He is in the hospital wing if you wish to see him. I've told Madam Pomfrey to let you see him…" Dumbledore continued. "That is only if you want to."

I nodded and stood up from the chair. I glanced over at Cedric's parents. I wish I had something to say to them but I didn't know what. Half of me wanted to see Cedric but the other half told me otherwise and my feet took me to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was behind a curtain helping someone in bed. It must have been Cedric. I shut the door behind me so no one else could come in. Madam Pomfrey appeared from behind the curtain. It looked as if she was ready to cry but she held herself together and let me behind the curtain.

He was pale and his eyes were closed and mouth half-opened. I reached for his hand but pulled back because it was so cold. Tears were falling from my eyes damping my robe as I let my hand into Cedric's cold one. I held his hand up to my face and caressed the back of it with my cheek. I bent over and kissed his forehead. I wanted to scream, I wanted him to wake up, to hold me, to kiss me and tell me that it would be okay but I didn't, I couldn't do anything to wake him up. I stared at him searching all over. What was he thinking before he died? Was he thinking of me – of his family? I let go of his hand and ran out of the hospital wing. I ran to the Ravenclaw Tower, into the common room and up to the empty dormitory, slamming the door behind me. I threw myself onto my bed and cried into my pillow. Why? I thought to myself. Why take him away from me and from his family? I heard a knock on the door but didn't answer. A few seconds later another knock came and the door opened. I didn't look to see who it was but buried my face into my pillow.

Someone sat down on my bed and I knew that it was Marietta with Emily, Min and SuYoung. Someone ran their fingers through my hair and another placed their hand on my back. I pulled myself together and sat down on my bed, pulling my knees to my chest. I looked up at them to see that they too were crying. I leaned my head on Marietta's shoulder and let myself go, my tears pouring worse than before. She wrapped her arms around me like a true friend should but didn't say anything – they understood my pain and seemed to be the only ones that understood how much I loved Cedric. Nothing could have broken our silence and I didn't want anything to. They left half an hour later and no words were spoken. They knew I wanted to be left alone. We didn't have to tell each other that…

I wanted to see Cedric again one last time before his parents left with him. I went into the dormitory bathroom, ran some cold water and splashed it on my face. I pulled myself together but couldn't stop the tears. I walked out of the dormitory and to the common room. Some of the kids there saw me and came to me trying to comfort me. They told me that it would be okay and they said that they were sorry but they didn't know me and they didn't know Cedric. I pushed them away running out of the common room. I could have broken down while walking down the stairs but I made it to the hospital wing. Mr. and Mrs. Diggory were there talking to Madam Pomfrey.

Mrs. Diggory must have heard me coming and walked over to me. She was still crying her eyes were red and puffy. She was pretty. She had brown hair with some strands of grey with hazel eyes. She was an inch or two taller than me and skinny. Mrs. Diggory must have known that I was in great dire of someone to cry along side with so she wrapped her arms around me and ran her long fingers through my hair. We parted and she tried to smile behind the tears. "Cho," she mumbled my name, "he was right…"

I looked at her.

"You are beautiful. He loved you very much. I'm sure he wants you to know that right now," she said between sobs.

I showed a smile through my tears.

"He talked about you all the time…"

"Mrs. Diggory…" I didn't know what to say. I had nothing to say. It was tougher for her than it was for me but she still comforted me. I looked over at Mr. Diggory, he was sitting on a chair and Madam Pomfrey had disappeared. He stood up and walked over to his wife. He smiled at me. He was trying so hard to be strong but I saw tears falling down his cheeks. "I want to see him…before you leave…" I mumbled.

Cedric's father led me behind the curtain where Cedric was laying. I wanted to stop crying but tears fell down faster than ever before. This was my last time to see him… His parents would gather his things, they would take his body home with them and I would be left alone. Madam Pomfrey must have done something to give his face some color but when I reached for his hand it was still cold. Mrs. Diggory was on the opposite side of me with her husband. She was holding her son's hand and holding some tissue in the other. Mr. Diggory had his hands on her shoulders. I didn't want to let go of his hand. I leaned over and kissed Cedric for one last time.
