A/N: Hey! First update in over a year, huh? Sorry! Had a major MAJOR writer's block. Okay..a mini-chapter here. A regular, longer one will be put up soon. Enjoy!
Chapter 7
It was dark, and the coldness in the air chilled him to the bone. Then..
He saw her. Crying.
"Cho!" Harry ran up to her, his anxiety mounting as each second came by and passed. "Are you alright?" He was finally within an arm's reach. But he stopped short.
She was kneeling in front of a tombstone. Cedric Diggory's grave. His heart skipped a beat and his insides were squirming.
What is she doing here of all places? Isn't she already over him, he thought furiously. She's with me now!
Trying not to let his insecurity get the best of him, he calmed down a bit. "Er..Cho?"he asked feebly.
"I'm sorry Harry! I couldn't help it! I-I just had to come here again. It just makes me feel safe.." She looked a little guilty. "I guess I'm just still not over him yet," she confessed as tears streamed down her flushed face.
Harry pulled her into his arms and embraced her all the while whispering sweet words of comfort. Cho rested her head on his shoulder.
"This is never going to work, Harry," she said softly in his ear.
Harry was confused. "What's not going to work?" he asked, worried.
"You..mr..us.." she trailed off. "I t-think we should break up," she said, looking down at the ground. She couldn't face having to look into Harry's eyes and seeing the hurt that she caused.
"What? Why?" Harry asked, startled. He looked as if he was struck dumb. Then he looked as if he lost his temper. Anger seeped into his words. "You enjoy this don't you?" he demanded, his voice hard and his jaw set. "Playing with my feelings?"
But Cho continued as if she hadn't heard him. "I'm not going to get over Cedric," she said, eyes shining with more tears threatening to fall. Then she repeated that, like she needed to hear her confirm it to her own heart. "I'm sorry," she whispered.
Harry was about to retort, but then the whole world started turning and turning. Fog surrounded him and he felt himself about to dissipate into it. "Cho!" he yelled, stretching his arm forward.
But nothing met his grasp. She was gone.
With a jolt, Harry woke up, bewildered. He was drenched with sweat and was breathing hard and rapidly. He gave an involuntary shudder and thought for a moment. Was this an omen of some kind?
A/N: Okay so what do think? Reviews are more than welcome! By the way since this fic was published before HBP nothing from it will be in here. All the magical elements will be based on everything before HBP. Just a little reminder! Now review!
