I don't own Harry Potter.

Your hug was loving and desperate. And I tried hugging you back, but all you felt was a chill. You probably just realized what all of this meant, and you would think the chill originated with that thought... but I swear, it was me, love. I'm sorry for giving you a chill at this moment. I love you.

I have to leave, darling. You'll know when I get there, I promise. Please don't cry for me anymore, darling, let me leave in peace. You know how I need peace after all we've been through. You need to sleep, just go lay down for a while. Even if I leave you behind, I will always think about you, and I will watch out for you and our family.

"Goodbye, love", it hits me like a thousand bricks.

Your voice is cracking, and it takes every bit of my will to not run from this place to go back to you. I need your hugs, and I will probably alway need them.

Please, darling, stop crying, calm down. You'll always have me, even if not physically by your side, in your heart. I'll never leave, even when you move on.

People start coming to give you their condolences, and I step aside, close to the door. You're still crying for me. I promise I'll always be here for you, dear. You've made me the happiest person in existence... so happy, that's the least I could do for you.

There's a soft light calling me, I have to go, darling. I won't leave without kissing you goodbye.

I go through everyone else, but I don't care about their chills. I decide to kiss your tears. They stream like rivers, and join in a little sea forming in your chin. You shudder with my kiss, but I see you take a deep breath.

"Goodbye, love", you repeat, and I smile, because I know you will be okay without me. It will probably take you time, but I know you will be okay.

I go to the light, so different from King's Cross station when I was survived a second killing curse. It's not familiar, but it's somewhat calming.

"He'll be okay, Harry"

Sirius was there to greet me. I hugged him.

"I know", I muttered, "Thank you"

"Hello, son", my almost clone hugged me too, and then let my mom hug me as well.

"I swear if George tries to make my grandson a prankster I will haunt him", she said with a soft smile.

"I don't think he would make our son a prankster, mom. At least not so young", I sighed.

"Are you ready?"

"I was ready back in the Forbidden Forest, you know", I muttered. They only nodded in understanding, "He gave me a purpose. I don't know how I will ever repay that... where are we?"

"Where life comes and goes. It's leaving now, though"

I give one last glance at you, dear, and I see you looking at me. I'm not sure if you can really see me or hear me, but I don't care.

"I love you", are my last words, only this time not with my physical vocal cords.

You smile faintly, your face stained with drying tears, and then you turn your attention to our son. He has your freckles, and your red hair, but he has my eyes. He doesn't understand what's happening, I know, but I know you will raise him good. You pick him up, and sing the lullaby we learned at our honeymoon, in Greece.

I leave with my parents and my godfather, and I just know we'll see each other again.

This was inspired by a rather sad song, so sorry if it's depressing.
