I really like this. Your Cho is miserable, paranoid, bitter, angry (which makes her IC as of OOTP :)) and yet that doesn't make her dislikeable. Just as I didn't think canon made her dislikeable - although billions of fans seem to disagree with me on this.

I love the way, when she occasionally does go too far along the route to self-pity, melodrama or hate, the silent voice of Cedric corrects her.

Nicely done!

Wow, thank you very much! I wanted to make her feel a little more human than she did in OotP (though I don't think she's dislikeable in canon either) and I've always been a little confused by all the Cho-hate, too.

(Got here via Hogwarts_today too.)

I don't usually leave reviews but I had to tell you how much I loved this. It's nice to see a human Cho, not the super angsty bitch that fandom has made her out to be.

And,
And yet in the end you still lost.
Gah, that line killed me!

Hehe, thanks :) (I love your icon, by the way).

I was actually afraid she seemed even bitchier in this fic than most people think she is, so it's relieving to hear that you think she seems more human. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a lovely review!

hey there-- since HP4 came out in the movies, i could just see how cute they are together and decided to go hunting for ced/cho fics.
i got here via hpfanfic forums where you were recommended.

and yes it was beautiful! made me just mourn for cho. you managed to capture her anguish and build on it, and thats what makes you a great writer. good luck for the future!

Haha oh wow, really? *blushes*

Thank you so much for your kind words! I haven't written anything for awhile and your review has really brightened up my day, and I think I might try some more (maybe actually romantic!) Cedric/Cho. :)

Wow. I love the different side of Cho. It's really good to hear her side of the story. I really hate it when fans say they hate her when they don't even know her POV. Now they can read how it feels to be in her position. This story is really believable. Keep up the amazing job! Please keep writing more Cho stories. Good stories like this are really rare.

Thank you! :) I tried to make her grief understandable and I'm glad to know that it worked for you!
