IO to Cho ONLY

[mc_mike]

I know it's late in coming and I reckon it goes without saying but I'm glad you came and stayed on a bit. I know the space was tight, but I had a good time while you were here. A brill time, actually. You shouldn't go so long between visits. Ruddy crime, that is.


Though I'm thinking I'm in need to apologise again for your last night. Reckon I didn't know what I was thinking.

I guess that's true, too.

Because you're harder on yourself than anyone else could ever be. And if you were cocking everything up, you wouldn't have taken in so many friends. We all need you and you're there for us. That's what you're doing right, Michael.

How far back would you go?

I'm not talking about friends.


That's the million Galleon question, isn't it? Last week when you were here, August before I left, the afternoon Padma found out about Pansy, the day - no, the last two weeks before my dad died. The night of Terry's seventeenth birthday. Valentine's in Hogsmeade. End of fifth year. Loads to choose from and no clue where to start. I reckon I know how far you'd go back though.

Maybe not, but I want you to remember that you're doing that right. You're a good friend, Michael.


Everyone has things they'd like to change. How far back do you think I'd go?

The friend bit's not so hard though, is it?





The end of your fifth year, before the final task in the Tri-Wizard tournament. I know you'd do what you could to save him.

Sometimes it's harder being a friend than anything else.



I'd do whatever I could to change that, yes. But I'd also go back to all the times I hurt you. If you went back to the end of your fifth year, would you change us getting together then?

Like now.

Ah, but if Diggory lived, you wouldn't've hurt me. You'd still be happy with him. You deserve to be happy.

The answer to your question's no. I wouldn't've stopped it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_cho_chang/]

Yes, like now.

I don't know. Maybe I put Cedric on a pedestal that he wouldn't have been able to maintain. I loved him and I still miss him, but I loved and miss you, too, Mike.

You deserve happiness as well, Mike, and I'm sorry for making that hard for you.

I wouldn't have stopped it either.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You are making it hard on me. Thing of it is, it's not anything I don't want and therein lies the problem.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_cho_chang/]

Should I stay away? Would that help?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Do you want to?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_cho_chang/]

No. I don't.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

I don't either.
