The next morning Harry woke up refreshed. He put on some clothes and went downstairs.
When he got there Sirius was nowhere to be found. Harry looked around the kitchen and found a note on the table.
Harry,
I'll be at work until 6:30 this evening. Why don't you go down to Diagon Alley? I've left some money on the table.
Harry looked at the table and saw some Galleons in a pile, and kept reading:
Hope you had a good nights rest; you've had a rough few days. See you later tonight.
Sirius
Harry ran over to the table and put the Galleons in his pocket.
He then decided to go to Diagon Alley and walked out the door.
As he was walking he spotted Ron and Hermione sitting at a table in front a Café.
"Harry! Hi!" Ron shouted at him
Harry walked over to their table, "I can see you've changed your mind about me, Ron."
"Yeah, I did some thinking last night. You seem like you're a totally different person... so I'm just going to hope this isn't a trick." Ron said
"It's not. I swear." Harry said
"Why don't you sit down?" Hermione said
"Actually... I was just on my way to the book store." Harry said
"Well... do you mind if we tag along?" Hermione said
"Oh no, not at all." Harry said
"Great!" Hermione said, "You coming, Ron?"
"Yeah." Ron said standing up and taking Hermione's hand.
"So... Harry... how are you?" Hermione said
"I'm good..." Harry said weakly
"You don't sound too good." Hermione said
"No... really I'm great." Harry said, "I mean... what do I have to feel bad about? I've just lost six years with my best friends in the whole world... no big deal at all."
"Harry... why are you taking this out on us?" Ron said
"I'm not. I just wish everything was the same... that's all." Harry said
"Well, Harry... I mean, it's not going to be easy but we can try to get things back to normal." Hermione said
"That's impossible. There's no way anything could ever be the same." Harry said
"Sure there is! We just need to get to know each other all over again... no big deal." Hermione said
"But see that's the thing, Hermione. I already know you. And Ron. For example, Hermione... your favorite color is red, you've had straight A's for your entire life, you hate to be bothered when your reading, you have different smiles for certain times: when you think something's funny, when your with your friends, when someone compliments you, when your just trying to be nice, or... well in my "old" life... when you were with me." Harry said," But see, Hermione... things won't ever be the same because you'll never smile like that when you're with me anymore!" Hermione had tears in her eyes, she had no idea.
"And you, Ron. Your mum makes you a scarlet colored sweater with an R on it every Christmas, you hate spiders, your favorite color is royal blue, you can't stand it when someone touches your hair, and you have exactly four facial expressions: when your happy, when your mad, when your scared, or when you just don't know what to say." Harry said
Ron stood there in amazement.
"Harry... I... I don't know what to say." Hermione said
"You don't have to say anything. I just have to deal with it." Harry said as he started walking again.
Hermione and Ron followed.
Harry wasn't very happy all day, but he tried to make it seem like he was.
He spent the rest of the day with Ron and Hermione, it was one of the best days he had in a long time.
He looked at his watch and it was 6:15.
"Guys, I have to go. Sirius will be home in fifteen minutes." Harry said
"Okay... um, do you want to meet us here tomorrow?" Ron said
"I'd like that." Harry said
"Alright... how about at the book shop at lets say... 11:30?" Hermione said
"Okay." Harry said, "See you tomorrow then. And thanks..."
"For what?" Ron said
"For being my friends again." Harry said
"Oh... you're welcome." Ron said
Harry nodded and walked back up to Number 27 Diagon Alley.
