easily manipulated by the dark side to help them get to the person 
who "brought" Cedric to the graveyard.  We all know what really 
happened and that Harry is not to blame, but everybody else knows 
just what Dumbledore told them...that Cedric was killed by 
Voldemort.  How hard would it be for Lucias Malfoy, or some other DE 
who might be from Ravenclaw (they *can* be from other houses, you 
know, like Pettigrew from Gryffindor) to tell her some tall-tale of 
how Harry jumped behind Cedric to miss being hit by the AK, or that 
he knew that the cup was a portkey, or any other story, just to get 
her to do what they want?

(perhaps to Hogsmeade through one of the tunnels), where he wouldn't 
be under Dumbledore's and Hogwart's protection.  


Then, amazingly, Greg replied (I usually don't get replies to my posts; not very many original ideas...):

<<<First, if this were to happen, I can't see JKR doing it w/o at least 
allowing Cho to redeem herself. >>> 

Why is this?  Does every ever-so-evil person need to be redeemable?  Is it because she is pretty?  Okay, so I'm jumping the gun here...no, Cho's *not* evil....not *yet*, anyway.....  

<<<But that being said, what really do we know about Cho?  That she's cute, plays Quiddich & dated Cedric.  Which is why I've always been mystified by all of the H/Cho out there, there have been plenty of girls in my past that I thought 
were put on the earth specifically for me, until our first conversation at which point I promptly moved on to the next one.  I mean, to our knowledge, Harry's never even had a single conversation with the girl.>>>

How about when Harry asked "Wangoballwime?"  He had a conversation of 15 words or more with her!  Actually, you have a point with the "beauty is only skin deep" thing.  No, Harry doesn't really know her.  He *was* smitten with her before Cedric's death, but now he doesn't get butterflies in his tummy when he looks at her (like at the closing feast).    

<<<<But secondly, would Harry, whom I believe to have a great sense of 
personal responsibility ever allow himself to date the exgirlfriend 
of a now dead school mate? But I do think if Cho came up & told him 
she wanted to talk about exactly what happened in that graveyard, 
but didn't want to do it where anyone could hear, could he meet her 
in the Three Broomsticks that at Harry's first chance he would be 
headed off to that witch w/ the hump.>>>
 

Yes, I agree with you here.  I think a true H/Cho with Harry being the pursuer is out of the question.  But what if Cho pursued him?  And they became friends first?  Hey, if she's getting tutorials from Voldemort, who charmed Ginny with the diary, she could certainly learn how to charm Harry enough to get him out Hogwarts.  And maybe she *can* redeem herself...she stops whatever might happen to Harry by jumping in front of an AK at the last second, for example.     

I don't know why I like this Cho is ever-so-evil idea.  Maybe it's a sick, twisted attempt to get back at all those Barbie Doll girls who were really ugly on the inside....
