I love the dating Draco idea, it rocks!

I would like to add to this theory and say Cho, the betrayer, will
come to a sticky end (probably inadvertently by Harry's hand, although
this is based on a different theory that Harry is going to do
something very bad in the next book).

I believe Cho is for the chop because of the form her patronus takes -
a swan. In mythology spirits of the dead may visit mortals in the form
of a swan, also swans mate for life. So the patronus is a reference to
Cedric and an indication that they belong together and therefore she
is going to have to join him!!!
