The carriage had arrived. Oliver had loaded his bags into it and was
standing just outside of it saying his good-byes to Sarah.
"I'm going to miss you." Sarah said, wiping a stray tear from her eye.
"I'm going to miss you more." Oliver said, feeling tears welling up in his own eyes.
"I'll try to send Midnight to you everyday. But don't kill me if I miss a day or two." She said with a small laugh.
"I'll write back just as much."
A question was nagging at Oliver, but he was hesitant in asking it, in fear of the answer.
"When will I see you again?" He blurted out, not being able to hold it in any longer.
"Very soon...I actually spend quite a lot of time at Hogwarts. I'm there almost every weekend, to visit my grandfather." She said with a reassuring smile.
"Then how come I have never seen you there before?" He said, half relieved.
"I stay out of sight to help prevent any unnecessary questions and speculations upon my grad-dad. I can come and see you too, if you'd like."
"I'd like that VERY much."
"I'll visit you on one condition." She said raising her eyebrows.
"ANYTHING!" He said very quickly.
"I want to come watch you play Quidditch. I've never actually been to a real match before."
Oliver thought for a moment. Would he be able to play Quidditch again? Had he lost his edge? And if he didn't play, could he live with the repercussions, not seeing Sarah?
"Deal." He said determinably.
Oliver pulled her into his arms, holding on tightly.
They stayed like this until Oliver loosened his grip in order to lean down and kiss her. It was a very passionate kiss. When they stopped, they leaned forward in order for their foreheads to touch. Both still had their eyes closed.
"I love you." Oliver whispered.
"I love you too." Sarah said as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
They pulled apart, wiping away tears and straightening themselves out.
"Well...I better go." Oliver said sadly.
"Yeah" Sarah said, sniffling.
"This isn't good-bye, ya know." Oliver said matter-of-factly.
"I know." Sarah said. And she did know it, but it didn't make it any easier.
"I'll see you soon, Ok?"
"Ok."
Oliver gave Sarah a quick kiss, then got into the carriage.
They waved to each other as the carriage pulled way.
Sarah stood there, and watched it until it was out of sight. Then she went inside.
Everything became how it was in the beginning, only it was much different now.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I hope that was an Ok ending. I couldn't think of any other way to do it. I hope you all liked my story. Thanx VERY MUCH to all of those who reviewed. I might write another story, kinda like a sequel, but we'll see.
Bye for now.
