Cedric/Cho is the het pairing of Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang from the Harry Potter fandom. The two had a canonical relationship that was ended by Cedric's death in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Canon
Cho Chang was Harry Potter's longtime crush, but when he asked her to the Yule Ball in GoF, he discovered she was already going with Cedric Diggory. The two continued to date over the course of the book until Cedric dies at the end of the novel. Cho's grief over this event is one of the factors that eventually ends her following relationship with Harry.
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Cho/Cedric is uncommon as the sole focus of a work, usually appearing as a background pairing.
- Threesomes or poly works with Harry Potter often appear.
- Angst with Cho mourning Cedric's death.
- AUs where Cedric does not die.
Example Fanworks
Fanfiction
- Mistletoe in the Library by FloreatCastellum: Cedric has heard an interesting rumour about his girlfriend.
- ink and paper prayers by kitsunerei88: It’s OWL year, and Cho Chang has too many things on her mind.
- Where Love Remains by iNiGmA: All Cedric ever wanted was to be remembered. And dying hurts. Because they will remember him. But not as a champion, or a son, or a boyfriend, but as a sacrifice. His senseless death will mark the ending of an era where peace reigned. And he would rather be remembered for nothing, if it meant just one more moment in her arms.
