~*~ Leaving Hogwarts ~*~
The last day of school. The first day of total freedom. You'd probably think that's wonderful...Well, you were wrong. Not all people feel great when they finish school. Some of them loved their school like it was their home. Some of them considered it the nicest place in the whole world. This is how Harry Potter and his closest friends felt about leaving Hogwarts.
"Ron! Are you done yet?" A girl with extremely red hair shouted at her brother who was staring at his bed "We're gonna be late!"
"Oh, we won't! Chill out, Gin! We still have a plenty of time." Ron replied still looking at his empty bed. He felt so strange. He had left this place for seven years after the school year was done , but this time it was for good. Ron knew that he won't be standing here any more and that bothered him slightly.
"Fine! " Ginny nervously shrugged and turned around herself to see the room . "Your bedroom is a bit smaller than mine. I think it is because of that window over there. You know, it is quite unusual for me to stand in boys dormitory."
"Yeah... "Ron replied absent-mindedly.
"Okay, Ron... Are you done now?" Ginny asked when she realized that her brother wasn't paying attention to her at all. He just kept staring at his clean bed.
"Harry couldn't even say goodbye to this place... " Ron muttered.
"Of course he didn't. He's not a wacko such as yourself. " Ginny responded and added with a grin" May I know since when have you become so sensitive?"
"I am not sensitive! " Ron looked at his sister at once with fire flaming in his eyes" I was just ... unprepared, I guess. "
Ginny stared at her brother for a few seconds and then softly hugged him. "Okay... I understand. I'll probably feel the same way next year... " she whispered.
Ron enjoyed in her embrace for a moment. It didn't last for a long time. " And since when have you become my older sister? I am the one who should say stuff like this. "
"Times change. " Ginny smiled and grabbed her brother's hand. "We're off now. "
Ron wanted to say "see ya" but something was wrong with that. He thought that he should pick some other words " Farewell, room. Never see ya again... " he sadly murmured and closed the door of his dorm.
~* Hogwarts Express *~
"Oh I am so gonna miss this place..." Hermione sighed, face stuck to a window in one of the compartments of Hogwarts Express.
Ron slowly nodded, but Harry didn't respond at all.
"You okay, mate?" Ron asked him. He noticed that Harry was quiet all day. All of them were quieter than usual, but Harry didn't say a word.
"Let him be. " Hermione whispered. She heard Harry talking to Hagrid the day before. Harry was so unusually stiff whenever Hagrid would mention Hogwarts. They were all very sorry to leave the school , but Harry had the toughest time of all. He never had a real home. The Dursleys don't count. Hogwarts was the only place he'd ever been really happy. And probably Burrow.
"But he hasn't..." Ron wanted to protest but Hermione's look shushed him. She turned around to see if Harry was watching them. She found him in the same pose. Harry didn't react to their talk at all. It seemed like he was completely unaware of their presence. He obviously needed some time to face the fact that he was leaving Hogwarts. Forever.
~* At The Station *~
"Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione! Over here!" Mrs. Weasley waved ecstatically . She waited for them on the Kings Cross Station in London.
"Mom... " Ron rolled his eyes. " We are still not deaf and we aren't blind. You don't have to yell."
"It so good to see you!" Mrs. Weasley ignored Ron. She was still rather happy, but after seeing the expressions on their faces the tone in her voice immediately changed "I see. You three got the leaving-Hogwarts-fever. "
"They have - what?" Ginny asked although she had an odd feeling that she knew what the answer was.
"We all felt the same way you do, dears. It is not easy to leave such a magical place after seven years."
"Tell me about it. " Ron gloomily muttered. He wanted to say something else but a voice called his name somewhere from the crowd.
"Ron! Ron!" a voice shrieked .
"What the ... ?" Ron tried to see who was desperately trying to reach him. It was a girl. A Ravenclaw girl named Padma. They've become pretty nice buddies for the past 2 years. In all this mess he totally forgot about her.
"You were going to leave without saying a real goodbye?" she asked him a bit bitterly.
"No... No!" Ron murmured " I was just going to ... "
"It doesn't matter. I've come to you anyway. " Padma smiled and embraced him. "Goodbye , Ron. I'll miss you..."
"Me too. " Ron felt the rush of blood running through his body "Bye, Padma."
She let him go, smiled and ran to her sister who was becoming a bit impatient . Petil Parvati , who was standing with Lavander, waved to Harry, Ron and Hermione who waved back. Next one to say goodbye was Neville, then Dean and Seamus. Some Hufflepuffs came as well. And then Cho Chang approached them. Mrs. Weasley saw how Harry freezed when he saw her, so she just said that she'd wait them on the Muggle station.
"Harry, could you come here for a minute?" Cho charmingly smiled.
"Oh, yes. Sure." Harry stuttered and came towards her. Ron muttered to Hermione " He doesn't want to talk to us and he talks to her!"
"Well, this is it. " Cho said looking Harry straight in the eyes.
"Yeah, I guess. " Harry didn't know what he should respond. He felt so strange. Cho has never become more than a player from the Quidditch team he played against. She's never become a friend of his. And obviously nothing more than that.
"This might look a bit silly to you , but I wanted to give you something..." Cho whispered. It seemed like she was afraid that somebody could hear her words.
Harry's mouth were shut. He didn't feel this stupid since Dobby had told him that Winky liked him.
Without waiting a response , Cho put her hand in her pocket and seized a little box. "Please, don't open while I'm still here..." she said as a few tears formed in her eyes.
Harry was stunned. He wasn't that kind of person to grab presents when someone would give him. But this time, he really wanted to do it.
"Okay.. " he murmured.
"Bye Harry." Cho quickly leaned toward Harry and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Bye!" Harry said. He watched as she joined her parents and left the Magic world.
"What was that?" Ron went straight to Harry to see what she had given him. Hermione was close behind.
"She gave me this. " Harry answered still not getting what it was all about.
"Well, open it!" Ron pushed him.
"Yeah, I'd like to see as well. " Hermione agreed.
Harry showed them the small back box and Ron exclaimed without thinking " She proposed you! It's a ring!"
"It's not a ring! Have you gone mad?" Hermione laughed.
"Well, what is it then?" Ron hotly responded.
"I don't want to guess anything until I see it. " Hermione said. The two didn't notice that Harry had already opened the box. It was something shiny in it.
"Ha! I told you it was a ... " Ron exclaimed with triumph in his voice.
"...snitch!" Harry finished the sentence.
"What?" Ron gave a closer look to it and almost fainted when he saw. "A real golden snitch! Where did she find that? It must've cost a fortune!"
Harry couldn't think. He didn't know where he was. He couldn't believe that he didn't say thanks to Cho. He couldn't believe that he was really leaving Hogwarts. He couldn't believe that he wouldn't stand there any more. He couldn't believe that he wouldn't see all those faces any more. Students and teachers. He was almost sorry that he wouldn't see Snape any more. Among all of these thoughts only one started to become sharper and sharper. It was something that he wanted to do. It was something that he needed to do. Harry said that thought out loud before he even realized what he was doing:
"We're going back to Hogwarts. One way ... or another!"
