The rivalry between Cho Chang and Y/N had long since stopped being subtle. It was sharp glances across crowded hallways, shoulders brushing just a little too hard, competitive tension disguised as indifference. Everyone at Hogwarts High knew the reason, even if neither girl would admit it out loud. Cedric Diggory was the golden boy of the school—captain of the swim team, honor roll, effortlessly kind—and Y/N had been at his side since childhood. Cho, who had fallen for him quietly at first and then all at once, could never decide if she hated Y/N for being close to him… or for never seeming to realize what she had.
