Great! Wow! I really love the idea that Cho was so much more conflicted and devastated than people realized. It wasn't just a simple mourning that she was dragging on. Nice work!

I really like this fic. I was never really into the Harry Potter fandom even though I liked the books. In that way, I never knew poeple actually hated Cho, I felt really sorry for her throughout fifth book though.

I actually liked Cho, even if she was one of the most hated characters in fandom. I felt sorry for her. And this - ohmygosh, this is the Cho I visualise, not the bitchy skanky Cho that seems so prevalent in fanfiction these days. And the writing is gorgeous and the empathy is perfect and there's depth and meaning but not piled on too high - and well, you can tell that I like it.

-tear- Well done elaborating Cho's thoughts after Cedric's death. Love it xP

I can honestly tell you that this is one of the best Cho fics I have ever read.

I have never really given much thought to Cho before. I liked her when Rowling made her a more prominent character in the fourth book, because Harry liked her. However, I started to dislike her towards the end of the fifth book because Harry disliked her. Never had it really crossed my mind that she would have these sort of thoughts after Cedric's death.

You did a fantastic job of writing this. Cho is written extremely well and I really feel you wrote her character to a T. It made me really think a lot more about Cho as a person.

Great job!

Wow.

This is truly excellent.

When Harry first started to like Cho, I felt very indifferent towards her. Of course, as soon as she turned into the 'human hosepipe', I started to dislike her, though I couldn't really pinpoint the reason as to why. Reading things like this help me to understand her character better.

I love how you took the reader through the different phases of Cho's relationship with Cedric and didn't limit yourself solely to events occurring before his death.

I like that her thoughts are so raw- that she doesn't like the way Cedric's hands were rough on her ears, that he repeated himself, and that maybe she hadn't loved him- and that Cho didn't put Cedric up on some sort of inaccessible pedastal.

This was excellent and extremely believable. Great job on this.

What a joy to check my email and find you've posted a new story! It always brightens my day.

And I love this, as usual. I've always been somewhat indifferent to Cho, but now you've tugged me inside her head, and because I understand her, I can love her.

This story is so right. Of course she would feel exactly this way--she is so young and so was he, and I know most of the time I tend to credit these young people with much more certain emotions than they probably really have.

And this sums it all up: "Maybe was worse than no so she settled for yes." Exactly, exactly.

Magnificent as usual!

Really lovely exploration; I like this take on Cho, who I was never especially fond of, but she has been growing on me, thanks to fanfiction like this. Alas, I'm not feeling particularly eloquent tonight, I'm afraid--I wish I could give you better reasons for liking this as much as I do, but I can't seem to get them to come out somehow. It's very thoughtful and sad and deepends Cho's character nicely--which all sounds like a stock response, but I do mean it--I loved this fic. :)
