Grief

"Cho,"I say quietly,"Do you want to talk about it?"

We were in the Hogwarts Express, on our way home.

Cho's nose was red and her eyes were puffy from crying. Padma, Luna, Elizabeth, Catherine, Marietta, and I were soothing Cho from her grief.

"I-I'm ready to t-talk,"she stutters, and composes herself.

"Cedric didn't die in vain,"I say calmly,"We will do everything to fight Voldemort." I didn't stutter on Voldemort, like how I used to.

"Marmar?"Marietta says tentatively,"Do you think that's true? I mean, you know who being alive again. It's a highly unlikely story."

"Cedric Diggory's death wasn't an accident,"I reply cooly,"It was a murder. You can have your own opinion, but I will do whatever it takes to defeat him and the Death Eaters."

"So will I,"Cho says steadily. Marietta raises her eyebrows. But Luna, Padma, Catherine, and Elizabeth say,"I will too."

"Fine,"Marietta says, defeated,"I will."

"That's better,"I grin.
