Cho was sad as she watched Harry going down the stairs on which's top he asked her out for the Yule Ball. She was sad because she had to turn him down, because Cedric Diggory had already asked her yesterday and she had accepted. Now she heard a nagging voice inside her:" Why didn't you told of Cedric just for one day? You could have gone with Harry, but no you threw away the opportunity, dumb head!" Cho´s eyes started to fill with tears.
The scenery shifted.
Even though she had fun dancing at the Yule Ball, Cho glanced occasionally at the table where Harry was sitting, together with his date Pavati Patil, his best friend Ron and Parvati´s sister Padma. None of them looked like they had a good evening. Just as she was looking at Harry he lifted his eyes from the table and looked directly into hers. Not even one second later he turned his head and bumped his leg against the table. Cho felt a sting of guilt inside her.

Cho gasped as her head broke through the lake's surface. She instinctively turned around to see who was holding her. It was Cedric, but her disappointment was quickly overridden by gratitude. Before thinking about it she gave Cedric a kiss just as they reached the shore, even though something felt not right.
Together with the other champions and "possessions" she waited almost an hour for Harry's return. When he finally resurfaced she felt jealous because in Harry's arm was non other than his best friend Ron Weasley and a little girl that looked like it could be the little sister of the Bauxbatons champion Fleur Delacour. Cho's jealousy grew even more when said champion pulled Harry out of the lake and kissed him on the cheeks for rescuing her sister which she had failed to do herself.

More memories flashed through Cho's mind but they were only blurred pictures: the night of the third task, her argument with Harry at Valentine's Day and their argument about Marietta.
But after that came one scene that she remembered crystal clear: Harry's duel with Voldemort just this night. Cho whimpered as she lived through it again and just as Harry got hit, Cho woke up with a scream.
Sitting upright Cho wondered briefly where she was until she herd the voice of Madame Pomfrey behind a door. Said nurse came through the door into the room, closely followed by headmaster Dumbledore. Madame Pomfrey immediately started to examine Cho with various spells while Dumbledore just stood next to her. After clearing he head a little Cho asked:" What happened to me? And where are Harry and Hermione?" "Well, to your second question: I'm here Cho" a certain bushy-haired witch said from a bed opposite from hers. She chuckled a little as she said:" Also you woke me up." "And to your first question," said Dumbledore "that's something even we don't know." Meanwhile Madame Pomfrey obviously had finished her examination and asked :" Why where you screaming?" "Nightmares." said Cho shortly. "Well Miss Chang, I think a Dreamless Sleep Potion is in order. I would like to talk to you tomorrow." Cho nodded and drunk all of the potion in one go. After both adults were gone Cho asked:" Hermione, do you think Harry will ever forgive me? I mean I let him down and couldn't do anything to help him." She was prepared for many answers but not for laughing. "Hermione? Are you making fun of me? I am already feeling miserable." ,she asked and started to sob. "Of course not Cho", said Hermione worried "but your question just showed how little you know about Harry. I can tell you: the first thing he will do when he gets the chance to talk to you is apologizing." Cho smiled and go tired as the potion's effect kicked in. Just before closing her eyes Cho looked to her left and saw Harry laying in the bed next to her.
As Cho opened her eyes again she found herself sitting in a room with completely black walls, but in the middle of the room there was a sphere radiating bright light. About on foot in front of the sphere stood a person and that person was… "Harry!" Cho screamed an run towards him. He turned around just in time to open his arms and embraced her. "Cho I'm sorry that I let you down. You had to fight against Voldemort just because I couldn't stop him." Cho squeezed him a little harder and answered :" It's okay Harry, you couldn't have done anything. By the way where are we?"
