Seth let her go when she moved away to pace around the room. He ran a hand through his hair and watched her, a little worried now. Oh, not that she was really a Grim or anything. But worried about her. If this went four years back, then it was something that was affecting her deeply.
Cedric. Seth remembered him. The Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain who had been in the Triwizard Tournament. He had been a couple of years below Seth at school, but the Triwizard Tournament had been in the papers almost constantly that year, particularly after Cedric's death. And Cho had been his girlfriend.
So she had actually dated Michael. Not that it really helped to know that, but it did only in that he had now died too.
"You are not a Grim," Seth said firmly, walking over to her to gently grip her upper arms as he gazed down at her. "And you know what? None of this is scaring me away. I'm so sorry that you had to lose Cedric and Michael. I really wish that you hadn't had to go through that, or what you're going through now. But you're not a Grim and you're not cursed. And I'm going to prove it to you."
