"Harry are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure" Harry Potter stared at his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
"But Harry, why? Why do you feel the need to just up and leave?" A note of anger was detectable in Ron's voice.
"Ron, I'm tired, I'm 20 years old, and I feel worn out, like I've done everything. How many 20 year olds can say that they saved the world from the darkest wizard of all time? How many 20 year olds have carried the weight of the world on their shoulders since they were a year old? I'm tired Ron, I need a break. I feel, I don't know" Empty a voice in Harry's head completed the thought for him.
"Are you sure you will be safe?"
"Mione, Voldemort is dead. The worst of the Death Eaters were killed or brought to justice, nothing has happened since the final battle. I'll be fine. Please understand that I need to do this, I have to leave the wizarding world. Not forever, but for a while. I'm not leaving you guys behind, I'll still owl you and you know how to use a phone, but I have to get away from it all."
Hermione looked at her best friend. She was concerned, but she knew that Harry was going to do what he felt he needed to do, whether they supported it or not, it was best to support him so that if he was unsuccessful at his attempt to live in the muggle world then he would always have them to come back to.
"I understand Harry, but you understand this, if an extended period of time goes by and we don't receive an owl or a phone call. We will hunt you down and use the Unforgivable Curses on you until you are an inch from death, understood?"
Harry smiled. "I understand Mione. Ron?"
Ron seemed to ponder the discussion between Harry and Hermione. He knew that his fiancée had as many qualms as he did, but in the end he came to the same conclusion as Hermione, never mind that he wanted to avoid be on the receiving end of her temper. His neck was still sore from sleeping on the couch the previous week.
"I understand as well Harry, but you heard Hermione. We'll miss you, but we love you and we support your decision"
"Thank you" "When are you leaving Harry?"
"Tonight. I'll apparate back to my flat and then into my new flat in London. I'll owl you as soon I arrive"
"Good luck Harry" Hermione and Ron embraced their best friend and with a small pop he apparated out of their flat, and out of the wizarding world
