Or perhaps she might approach him, saying, "I don't know if you would be willing to talk to me about it, but I loved him, and it's killing me not to know. Can you at least tell me what happened? Did he suffer?" > > If they could talk about this, it might be a comfort to Cho. It would probably be exquisitely painful for Harry, but if he cares about Cho, it might help him a little bit to set her mind at ease about THAT--at least he didn't suffer. And who knows what the conversation might lead to? (Scenes where your hero is in exquisite pain are GREAT for character development.) I think this is a very likely scenario. And though I'm not a shipper at all (they're still kids!), I'd love to see it open the way for Cho to be introduced as a fourth friend. After what's happened, she may very well want to join our friends as they continually fight Voldemort. voicelady _____________________________________________________________ This email message was sent via MailStation(tm) - a trademark of CIDCO Incorporated.
