Cho Chang is like fifteen when a boy tries to change the subject and she replies “But I need to talk about it,” which 1) HERO, LIFE GOALS, and 2) she then adds “Surely you need to talk about it too” like she’s worried about this dude’s mental health while also pleading for a kindred spirit. Protect this child.
Cho Chang: The character who had her boyfriend murdered when she was only fifteen and the government telling the public it was a “freak accident”, struggling with depression she literally joined a rebel alliance against her parents wishes with the goal of avenging her boyfriend, learnt how produce a patronus [which is difficult enough magic for anyone, let alone someone in her position], and two years later illegally snuck into Hogwarts to help fight in one of the biggest wizarding wars in history when she had no obligation too.
Cho Chang: Branded “weak” by fandom.
