Harry lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, just thinking, as he so often
did.
Tonight, it was about his friends.
**FLASHBACK**
Harry, Hermione and Ron stepped off of the Hogwarts Express into the sea of students on Platform 9 3/4.
"I can't believe tha-", Hermione started before she was shunted to one side by another student.
At that the three friends moved into a corner where they would be well out of the way.
"As I was saying," Hermione began again, while giving the girl who shoved her the evil eye, "I can't believe that we just finished our seventh year of Hogwarts."
"Get over it already!" Ron exclaimed, "You've been saying that for the past hour and a half, get over it already! You're impossible!"
"Let her say what she wants." Harry interrupted before a fight broke out. At that Ron gotoff of Hermione's back but looked thoroughly put out.
"I just can't wait to move out in October," Harry said, trying to change the subject. "Our Hogsmead apartment should be ready then." Harry was refering to the apartment that Hermione had found on sale in The Daily Prophet for the three of them to share.
"Ya! That's gonna rock!" Ron exclaimed. "But before that old git gets out of there you're both staying at my house, right?"
"Of course I am Ron, do you really have to ask?" Hermione replied, she was obviously still mad at Ron for calling her impossible.
"And I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'll be able to get away from the Dursley's, and you know I'll do anything for that." Harry added
"Perfect, I guess I'll see you guys on the 25th of July. Anyways, I've gotta go now, Mum will have my head if I don't hurry. I'll owl you guys as soon as I can, ok?"
"Alright then." Hermione said monotonously.
"I should probably get going as well, Uncle Vernon will leave without me if I don't hurry up" Harry said.
"Ok then, bye Harry, bye Hermione. I'll see you later!" Ron yelled as he ran across the now nearly empty platform.
"I guess I'll see you at Ron's house then." Hermione said.
"Ok, I'll see you there, bye!" Harry said before he too sprinted across the barren platform.
**********
That day that Harry said goodbye to his best friends he didn't know it would be his last. Oh sure, he sent letters, but never got responses back. He tried floo powder as well, but for some reason was always sent beck to his own fireplace.
This game went on for five whole years.
