"Are you sure you want to do this?" Harry asked his twin sister Sara for the tenth time this morning. "Hogwarts has given us all the education we needed, Sara. What ever happened to wanting to become an Auror?"
Sara smiled fondly at her brother and tussled his hair from his green eyes, revealing the slightly faded red lightning shaped scar he had always been so famous for. "I still do, Harry, I really do. I just want to take a break from the wizarding life for a while…given everything that has happened these last few months."
"Voldemort is gone, Sara." Harry reminded, "He isn't coming back."
"I know, Harry." Sara answered "I was there, remember?"
Harry gave his sister a mock glare that broke into a smile. Being honest with himself, the only reason Harry was apprehensive about his sister going off to college was the idea that she was, for once in his life, going to be living away from him.
What was he going to do without his twin sister and fellow Gryffindor graduate? There was no doubt that things were going to be different without her. "You will come back this summer? For the wedding?"
Sara smiled at her brother, "Of course, Harry. I wouldn't miss you getting married for the world. And you know I'll always write you whenever I get the chance." Sara bent down for her suitcases, but Harry being the gentlemen that he always was, beat her to it.
"Hermione is waiting for you with the car." Harry said as he led his sister down the steps of the apartment that they had previously shared, "She is trying to teach Ron how to drive, but I made her promise she wouldn't do it while you were still in the car."
Sara laughed, "Harry. Always one to worry."
"I have the right," Harry defended, "You're going an ocean away."
As if it had suddenly hit her, Sara threw her arms around her beloved brother's neck forcefully. An entire ocean away, when they had never been apart. Not even since birth. All those years at the Dursley home, those wonderful and terrible six years at Hogwarts, and that year of wild living and searching desperately for hoarcruxes. They had always been together, throwing their burdens upon each other. She was really going to miss him.
Harry gruffly embraced his sister, trying not to show his mirroring emotions in her presence. It would only make his goodbye harder. Only when his sister was in the car and driving away towards the airport did Harry allow his worries to swallow him.
Sara Marie Potter, his little twin sister, was leaving out into the world on her own.
