Chapter 31- Good-Byes

Anaka stood at the airport terminal, anxiously watching the other travelers get on the plane.
"We'll be on the plane soon enough," John said, noticing her anxious looks.
Anaka nodded. She looked around the airport and sighed with relief when she saw their parents and Leslie walking towards them.
"Well, the baggage has been checked in," Leslie said with a smile. She quickly handed out their passports and tickets.
"You keep in touch John," Mrs. Miffugan said quietly, holding back tears.
"I'll be fine mom," John said reassuringly. He hugged his mother and father.
"Just keep an eye out for trouble," Mr. Miffugan said in a low voice. John nodded.
"Don't get into any trouble," Remus said sternly to his daughter, "and keep up with your school work. Write me and if you ever need anything I'll be on the next plane out."
Anaka smiled and hugged her father tightly.
"I'll be fine dad. Just think of it as an educational experience. I bet we'll see each other soon."
"You bet," Remus said kissing his daughter on the top of the head.
"Well then I guess we should be off," Leslie said quietly. Anaka nodded and followed John onto the plane.
"You know I'll watch after them both as closely as possible," Leslie said reassuringly.
"Watch after yourself too," Remus said with a smile.
"I always do," Leslie replied. She gently squeezed his hand and walked onto the plane.

Leslie quickly took her seat by the window and silently acknowledged the person sitting next to her.
"Are you sure Sunfire will be ok?" Anaka asked from behind.
"He'll be fine," Leslie replied.
"I guess so…"
Leslie smiled to herself and quickly took out a magazine. Anaka stared out the window. She could see her father and John's parents in the airport. As the plane started to move she noticed another figure standing off to the side and behind them. A slow smile crossed her face as the figure waved.
"Leslie," she said quickly, "Look who came to say good-bye!"
Leslie glanced out the window and started at the sight of the figure. The figure smiled slightly and waved before turning to leave. Leslie blinked and watched the figure leave.
"Why Severus Snape," Leslie murmured, "I have the strange feeling we'll be seeing each other again soon."
