He would tell him about Cho. Just...eventually. For now, they had to focus on this new war and there were more important things to say.

"And you weren't a 'spare,' Cedric. That's what's wrong with people like Voldemort and the Death Eaters--that they could see people like you that way. But I didn't. The rest of the school didn't. At the end of the year, Dumbledore said we had to remember you, that we'd have a choice to make between what was right and what was easy and that we should remember you when we made it. In the end, that's what we were all fighting for--for you and for everyone else who'd been killed, who'd had their families ripped apart, who'd had their lives ruined by Voldemort and the Death Eaters."
He nodded to himself, as if content with what he had said, with how it'd come out. For once.
"And I'm glad I'll have the chance to know you better now. I always thought I should have liked to have known you better."
He'd always wondered if he hadn't died that night in the graveyard if they'd have become friends after.
