I could have written this secret! Cho is one of my favourite characters and I think some of her best qualities are glossed over both in the book and in fandom, which is sad. Of course she's going to cry - I think it's a really realistic and human reaction, one of the few we get to see in people other than Harry. (Seriously - of the ten or so important deaths in the last book, we only see an extended reaction to Dobby's, and even then it's mostly Harry's reaction.)

More importantly, I feel like Cho's awesome loyalty is downplayed. I loved that at the end of the fifth book she stayed friends with Marietta because Marietta was fifteen and probably extremely confused and had just been scarred for life and I think it's a pretty cool thing for at least one person to say (in not so many words) "no, Harry Potter, fuck you, I'm staying here with my friend whom your best friend hexed" because god knows having Cho turn her back would have been the last thing Marietta needed just then. It always bugged me that the books showed that as more a bad thing than an awesome thing.

Wow, essay. Basically: this is a good secret.

Harry angsts out about his parents' murder years after it happens, and he's also really wibbly over Sirius. Why is it so bad for Cho to be getting teary about her bf being murdered just in the next book? (so like, several months?) She's gotten zero closure about it, nobody told her what happened, the guy who DOES know says that he's told his friends the details but won't tell her what happened in Cedric's last moments...plus there doesn't seem to be any counseling in the WW, so she's got all these ~feelings~ that nobody's helping her with. I think it's totally understandable! (and Harry is such a jerk for telling her off about getting emotional over her bf's death, COME ON, dude, where's the Power of Love?)

And HELL YES, I think it's amazing that Cho stood by her friend! Whatever Marietta did, Hermione being sneaky about putting a jinx that would scar people horrifically without even warning them is a terrible thing. And I love that Cho wouldn't abandon her, even though everyone else was shunning her. What a great friend- but no, the Trio judge her and look down on her for it. *eyeroll*
