Cho Chang (born April 7, 1979) was a Pure-Blood witch who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1990 to 1997 and was Sorted into Ravenclaw. She was a Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and a popular student. In Cho's fifth year, she began dating Cedric Diggory while he was a Champion in the Triwizard Tournament. Cedric became one of the first casualties of the Second Wizarding War, as he was murdered by Peter Pettigrew on the orders of Lord Voldemort in June of 1995. His death greatly devested Cho and made her determined to fight against the recently returned Dark Lord which lead her to join Dumbledore’s Army.
In her sixth year, she joined Dumbledore's Army against her parents' wishes. However, Cho's best friend Marietta Edgecombe betrayed the D.A.,
Cho remained loyal to her school and to the D.A., returning after she had graduated to participate in the Battle of Hogwarts. She survived the war and eventually married a muggle Mr. Erin Campbell and had a daughter named Lynn
Even though Cho seemed very innocent and kind, she still couldn’t get over the fact that Cedric Diggory was dead and Harry Potter, her new crush, had been right beside Cedric when he died. This wasn’t Harry’s fault, of-course, but the same year he had been very short-tempered.
