Ron wasn't too pleased with his two best friends deserting him in his fifth year. He had terrible dreams at night about his best friend being Draco Malfoy, and about the two of them skipping merrily over the school grounds picking flowers. Let's just say he woke up in a cold sweat, breathing so hard he almost required an inhaler.
Hermione and Harry promised they'd write to him every day, and twice on weekends. But to Ron that still wasn't enough to let him sleep easy every night.
On September 1st, Harry and Hermione arrived at Platform 9 ¾, just like all the other students. They sat in a compartment with Ron and Ginny, quietly eating every flavor beans and chocolate frogs. They were all too scared to speak, and with the absence of Fred and George, the train was eerily quietly.
Of course, they weren't immune from a visit by Draco, who popped into their cabin with a disgusting smirk. "So Potter and his little Girlfriend are going off to America?" He spoke in that same drawling, monotone voice as always. Ron remembered his dream, and quickly averted his eyes to the window were he saw a fresh field of daisies. In an insane panic he jumped up quickly, stumbled, and fell hard onto the floor.
He received a lovely applause from Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, who continued down the hallway, chuckling hysterically.
"What was that all about?" Hermione asked, lending Ron a hand to get him back on his feet. Dusting off, he grunted and sat back down were he opened a fresh frog. After moment of silence he sighed. "I can't believe you guys are leaving me here"
"Well, at least you have your baby sister!" Harry said, giving Ginny a playful nudge to the side. She blushed a bright red a beat.
Everyone knew Ginny had a big thing for Harry. It had been so obvious since her first year where she trailed his every move. Harry just took it like a joke, much to Ginny's unhappiness.
"America wow! You must be so excited." She said with fake enthusiasm. "What is this school like? Do they play Quidditch? What kind of classes are you taking? Do they wear the same robes?" Although Ginny fit in around Her brother and his friends, sometimes she felt childish and got carried away with her questions.
"Whoa, slow down!" Hermione laughed, but her voice now sounded very scared. She was only realizing now how much she would miss her friends.
The train slowed to a stop, it's whistle blowing to signal it's arrival. Ron and Ginny stood up and retrieved their belongings. Harry and Hermione remained on the train, which was supposedly taking them to Salem School how it would cross the Atlantic ocean was still a mystery to them.
They all stood together in their compartment. "I guess this is goodbye." Hermione said at last.
"I guess so" Ron replied, almost in tears. They were all near crying, because it would be so long since they met again. Hermione kissed him on the cheek, and gave Ginny a hug. Harry stood frozen until the whistle blew again.
"Promise you'll write us!"
"Goodbye!" Harry and Hermione stuck their heads out the window as the train
pulled away.
