A/N:I don't own Harry Potter

Saying goodbye was never easy, especially if its someone you love. The only thing you have to keep in mind is you'll see them again. Sometimes that isn't enough, though.

The summer had gone by really fast, and now Ginny was going back to Hogwarts for her final year. It would be hard on both of them to not see each other until Christmas. Of course they'd write back and forth, but it wasn't the same.

" Come on you lot." Mrs. Weasley called, as it got closer to eleven o'clock. " The train wont wait for you, Ginny."

Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione trudged down the stairs, Harry magically levitating Ginny's belongings down with them.

" I know, I know." Ginny said to her mother. " Forgive me, but I'm a little depressed."

" Oh don't be." Mrs. Weasley said. " Christmas will be here soon, and you'll be home again."

" Yeah, yeah." Ginny sighed. " Its not even just that. I'm going alone. I'm the last Weasley."

" Yes, but think about that." Hermione said. "When someone says 'Weasley', you'll know they're talking to you."

" Sure." Ginny said. "Let's go."

They left for platform 9 ¾, getting through the barrier with ten minutes to spare.

" I can't believe I have to go by myself." Ginny said to Harry, while they talked by themselves, away from everyone. " I mean yeah, I'll have friends at Hogwarts, but you're not there, and Hermione isn't there. What if while I'm gone you find another girl to fall in love with, and I'm not there to stop it…"

" Stop right there." Harry put up a hand, and rested it on her shoulder. " What would give you the crazy idea that I'd find another girl while you're gone?"

" Well you did just defeat you know who, and girls are probably going to fawn over you." she said. " Whose to say you won't change your mind about me?"

Harry grinned. " You're cute you know that?" he said. " Let me just tell you this. I will not fall in love with another girl while you're gone. How can I when I've already fallen in love with you?"

Ginny smiled. " There's that silver lining again." she said.

" And look at it this way." Harry said. "Without Ron and Hermione there, there'll be a lot less bickering."

She laughed. " You've got a point there." she said. She looked over her shoulder at the train. " I'd better get on the train. Looks like its leaving really soon."

" Yeah." Harry said. " I'll miss you, okay? Have a good first day. I'll write really soon."

" I'll miss you, too." Ginny said.

Harry took her chin between two fingers, and gave her a quick kiss.

" Bye." he said.

"Bye." Ginny said, and quickly walked away before she could talk herself into not going.

Harry watched as she said goodbye to her mother and father, brother, and Hermione and then got onto the train. It was going to be a long couple of months.

He must have got lost in a daze, because the next thing he knew, Hermione was trying to get his attention.

" Harry." she was saying. "We're leaving. The trains left already. We're apparating to get home."

" What?" Harry muttered. "Oh, right."

He closed his eyes, and imagined himself at the Burrow. Suddenly he was there in what could be described as a blink of an eye.

" Want to go play quiddich?" Ron suggested, after they had all gotten home.

" Maybe later." Harry said, walking away to the bedroom that he and Ron shared.

Ron frowned.

" Don't take it personally." Hermione told him. " He's just a little upset."

He nodded. " I understand that." he said. " I mean she's my sister. I miss her too."

" You miss her in a different way." Hermione explained to him. " She's your sister, but she's Harry's girlfriend."

" Hermione, its not like they're never going to see each other again!"

Hermione sighed. " Yeah, but they've been together all summer after they spent a whole year apart from each other." she said. " I guess it feels the same as last year to them."

" Listen, I'm going to go try to practice on my own." Ron told her. " I'll be outside."

" Do you want me to come with you?"

" If you want to." he said. " Can't promise you'll see anything good."

" Don't be hard on yourself." Hermione said. " Besides, someone needs to be there when you knock down that practice goal post."

They both laughed.
