And Eden calls you home:

Hermione and Ron are dead. She's lying right in front of you, her eyes wide in horror. He's about 6 feet away, face down, motionless.

They're dead. They're dead. They're dead.

And it's all your fault.

No…

Harry Potter jerks awake. Immediately, he sits up and pulls on his glasses. Slowly, he looks to where his two best friends lay and breaths a sigh of relief.

Hermione is curled up in her blankets, and Ron is snoring away next to her.

They're sleeping soundly, and they're safe.

'You can't let this go on.' The voice in Harry's head tells him. And Harry agrees.

They'd been on Voldemort's trail for about a week, and they were getting closer. All the Horcruxes had successfully been destroyed, apart from The Dark lord himself. And there was no way Harry would lead Ron and Hermione to their deaths. From this night on he would continue alone.

All three of them had been gone for 5 months now. Harry was tired, so very, very tired. It was only the understanding that he was the only one who could destroy Voldemort that kept him going. If it wasn't for that he would've chucked in the towel ages ago, and gone back to Ginny. But he couldn't. Not yet.

He crawled out of his blankets and calmly gathered together his things, before he scribbled a note to leave with Ron and Hermione.

Then with one last look at their sleeping forms, he slipped away into the night.

Ginny was heading to Transfiguration when she heard the commotion in the Entrance Hall. Frowning, she followed the throng of student heading towards the scene. Ron and Hermione were standing at the foot of the Marble Staircase. Without faltering Ginny sprinted into her brothers arms with a cry of "Ron!"

She'd never been so happy to see him. "Thank God you're both alright! I've been so worried! Thank God you're here… where's Harry?"

Hermione looked at her over Ron's shoulder, through sad eyes. Ron didn't say anything, just silently clutched Ginny tight.

Ginny looked at him, and suddenly her certainty about Harry coming back was washed away. "Ron?"

"It's ok, we're sure he's still alive… he left us Ginny. He left last night, while we were asleep."

Hermione continued, "When we woke up her was gone. But he left this." And she handed Ginny a small scrap of parchment upon which a few words were scrawled.

Ron, Hermione, please don't be too mad.

Ginny-

I'll be home soon.

I love you.

- Harry.

Ginny smiled quietly, and then hugged her brother again. He and Hermione were safe, she was so glad. They were the ones she'd worried about. Harry would be back soon. She wasn't at all scared that he'd gone off on his own. Everyone that knew he would, in the end. And now the end was drawing closer…

He would win, and then he'd come home, and they'd all live happily ever after. He swore it.

O.k. I know this had a v basic plot but please bear with me. The last instalment will be up soon… another And title, of course.

Please R and R.
