To Fill an Empty Heart

Hogwarts Express

Life was not going so smoothly for Ravenclaw seeker Cho Chang. Last year, her boyfriend of three years Cedric entered the Tri-Wizard Tournament and on the final task he was murdered. According to Harry Potter Voldemort returned from the dead and killed him, according to the ministry Potter was hallucinating and this was a scheme by Sirius Black. But the blame game didn't matter, the fact that a student with a bright and promising future got his life taken from him was ignored. Everyone cared so much about how Cedric died, that no one cared about the fact that he died… well, almost everyone… she still cared…

Cho spent the entire summer in her room, crying her heart out and eating her feelings away. By the time she went to get uniforms she was 250lbs. The Ravenclaw quidditch captain fired her from the team on the spot, publically she might add, in front of her parents at Diagon Alley because of this. That only led her to be hidden in her room for another few weeks, but now it was time to go to school. She was planning on just trying to drown out her sorrows in her studies.

"Sweets! Anyone want sweets?!" Yelled the sweet trolly lady.

The other Ravenclaw students in her room stopped her and got their grub. Cho ordered a few pumpkin pasties, she bit down onto one and the sweet nutmeg taste. She smiled but was met with snickers from her dorm mates as she made a pig out of herself…

She looked at the next stop over and saw Harry Potter ordering some. She couldn't blame the kid, the fear in his voice and the shock in his eyes… he didn't do it, and wasn't involved. However, she didn't expect him to look at her with a look of sympathy and kindness… just like Cedric…

Cho smiled back at him gratefully as she ate the last of her pasties. Perhaps she should talk to Harry about how to move on, and get exercise to loose the weight to get back on the team!

It's what Cedric would have wanted… Although, maybe without all of the pastries…
