The days that followed in conclusion of delaying Voldemorts rise to power was filled with happiness. Everyone took a vacation and toured around Egypt, Madison and Harry made the most of their last days together. When her aunt and uncle had found out what happened they decided to cut their visit short by a week. That put a damper on everyone's cheerful spirits. When they had returned to the Burrom, Madison and Hermione sneaked off for hours. Harry tried to ask Ron what was going on, but Ron was just as clueless. Finally their last day at the Burrow had come and the dismal weather seemed to match everyone's mood.
" Thank you everyone. I loved meeting you all. " Madison said teary-eyed. " And thank you for rescuing me. "
Mrs. Weasley was the first to step forward and grasped Madison in a motherly hug. " You take care now. You're welcome here anytime. " She hugged Harry next. " You be safe to dear. "
" Thank you Mrs. Weasley. I appreciate everything " he replied.
Each of the Weasley's took their turn in hugging Madison and Harry and bidding Madison farewell. Finally they came to Ron and Hermione.
" See you on the train mate, " Ron smiled faintly, shaking Harry's hand. He moved on to hug Madison. " Always a pleasure. "
" Bye Ron. "
Hermione brushed right past Harry and tackled Madison in a tight hug. Harry smiled, Madison was the closest girlfriend Hermione had made other then Ginny.
" I'm going to miss you. " she wept. " Please promise you'll write. "
" I promise to write every week. " Madison replied her own tears flooding her eyes.
When all the farewells were made, Tonks accompanied Harry and Madison back to Mrs. Figgs. Her guardians had left a note saying they were to be out for the night with Mrs. Figg and would be back in the morning to gather everything and leave. After they said goodbye to Tonks and she left, the two teenagers curled up on Madison's bed. They had one last night together and were content for the moment of just being in eachother's arms.
" I love you, Madison. More then anything. " he whispered, stroking her hair gently.
" I love you too. " she shifted from his arms and kissed him lightly.
When the kiss ended, Harry smiled. " I have something for you. I slipped out with Ron to get it one night. "
He moved off the and dug through his bag for a few minutes, before coming to sit next to Madison again. He held out a small box.
" I promise this won't get you into trouble. "
Madison smiled, taking the box. She opened it slowly to reveal a gorgeous, ruby encrusted locket.
She gasped softly. " Harry, this must have cost a fortune. "
" Open it up. " Harry urged.
Madison nodded and opened the locket. She gasped again as a shimmery blue light emanated from the locket, revealing a picture of the two of them and the words " I love you always " glowing beautifully. Madison bursted into tears and tackled Harry in a hug. When she regained her compsure, she smiled.
" I love it, thank you. I have something for you as well. " She reached into her open trunk bringing out a gold-plated album. She handed it to Harry. " All of the good times. "
Harry watched as word lit up across the front in red. " Even across the distance, my heart belongs to you forever. " Harry felt tears spring into his eyes as he looked through the pictures.
" Hermione helped me. " Madison explained. " That's why we'd hide out. She helped me with the message charm. "
" It's beautiful. Thank you. " Harry said. He laid the album aside and kissed Madison deeply. He wanted to touch her, kiss her, everyday. The truth was sinking in as the two of them let their passion take over. That night, their seperate hearts melded into one.
The next morning was surreal for Harry. He helped Madison finish her packing in silence. Once everything was set, Madison turned to him.
" Don't forget to write. "
Harry nodded and Madison hugged him tightly, tears staining both their faces.
" Au Revoir, ma ami. " she whispered.
" I love you. " he whispered back.
Harry waved goodbye as the car sped off down the street. He watched until the vehicle was out of of sight before sinking to his knees in grief.
