A/N: Yeah, I know the last chapter was a bit depressing, but that's how the story goes! LoL

Harry pushed his way through the crowd at the train station. Ashley was holding on to his arm. He was desperately looking for someone.

"Hermione!" he yelled, "Hermione!"

"Harry," Ashley said, "You look towards the front of the train and I'll look back there."

"Okay," he said, "Hermione!"

Finally he found her. She was sitting by herself in an empty compartment.

Hermione saw him and quickly wiped away her tears.

"Where are you off to?" asked Harry.

"Back home," she replied.

"What?"

"I got a letter from my mom. My dad's not well and you know how my parents just moved in to a new house. There's a lot of work to be done so I'm going to help out."

"Have you gone mad?" Harry asked, surprised, "You get one letter and all of a sudden you're gone?"

He grabbed her trunk. "You're not going anywhere," he said as if that were the end of it.

"Harry," she said, "I have to go."

"How can you leave in the middle of our seventh year?" Harry said, trying to drag her trunk outside, "I mean, doesn't our friendship have any meaning to you?"

"Harry, please try to understand..."

"You can go when school is out."

"Harry, I have to go!"

"I said you could go after the goodbye feast."

"Harry," she said seriously, "I might not even come back for that."

Harry stopped at the door to the outside and turned to look at her.

"I'm not coming back, Harry," she explained in simpler terms.

"Oh!" he said, really hurt and angry now, "You are leaving Hogwarts, leaving me...and you didn't even tell me about it."

He threw her bag at her feet. "Okay," he said, "I see how it is."

"Harry..."

"I don't want to know," he said as he stepped out of the train and began walking away.

"Harry," she said, "I'm going."

"So go!" he practically yelled, as he walked towards Ashley who was standing there and watching.

"Harry, I'm not coming back!" she yelled after him.

"I don't care!"

Hermione started to cry now. Ashley looked at her. All of a sudden, Ashley thought could see something in Hermione's eyes that Harry hadn't been able to notice. Hermione looked at her and Ashley's suspicions were confirmed. Hermione took her red scarf off and threw it to her. Ashley caught it and said her silent goodbye to Hermione.

The train whistle blew loud in the air. Harry stopped walking away and turned and looked at his best friend crying in the entrance to the train. Reality just hit him.

"Shit!" he muttered, as he ran to catch up with the train. He ran beside Hermione while the train was going slow enough.

"Hermione!" he yelled, "Hermione, don't go! Who'll I play basketball with?"

"You used to lose anyways," she sobbed out.

"But why are you going?"

"My parents need me..."

"And I don't?"

"Now you go irritate Ashley. You've bother me enough!" she said, trying to laugh.

"I'll fail my classes!" he added.

"Then fail."

"Hermione..."

"Stop chasing those stupid girls now, okay?"

"Hey!" he said, pointing at her.

"What are you going to do about it?" she asked.

Harry couldn't keep up anymore. He stopped and watched Hermione go past him.

"I'll miss you, Hermione!" he yelled after her.

"I'll miss you too!" she yelled back.

They did their little handshake in midair and then they watch their best friends go smaller and smaller in the distance...

(End of Flashback)

(Rest of Letter)

That day I realized that perhaps I had come between Harry and Hermione. Perhaps I had come between two friends...Hermione's silence told me everything. And that day I was sure that she loved your father. Perhaps even I couldn't love him as much. Hermione never owled Harry. She had gone away from our lives forever. Your father used to say that "Love is friendship." Yes. I became his friend, but I could never become his best friend. Your father is alone now, and I know he won't say anything. He needs a friend. He needs love. That friend and love is Hermione. Get her back into your father's life. Return Hermione her first love. She and your father are made for each other. This is the truth and this is my dream. Will you fulfill your mother's dream? Get them back into each other's lives. Make my dream come true...

Mya looked up from the letter with tears streaming down her face. She looked in the envelope and found a picture of Hermione. The she looked up and saw the picture of her mom hanging on the wall.

I won't disappoint you, Hermione thought.

At breakfast, as Hermione and Anna were saying Grace, Harry walked in, late, as usual. He sat down and tapped Mya.

"Happy birthday," he said, as he did the little handshake with her.

"Thanks," she whispered.

"Shh," Anna said.

"Oh, sorry," Harry apologized. He closed his eyes and began to say his Grace.

Mya saw that both her father's and Anna's eyes were closed so she took the opportunity to grab the letter from her pocket and look at Hermione's picture again. When her father looked, she pretended to have her eyes closed while still having the letter in her hand. He saw the letter in her hand. He took it and places it on the table, smiling.

Anna decided to owl Severus. (A/N: They call him that now.) Every year, around the time of Ashley's death, Harry, Anna, and Mya went to go spend some time with him.

We'll be at Hogsmeade tomorrow at 4 o'clock. Make sure you don't forget like last time.

-Anna

Meanwhile, Mya was watching The Nicole Skeeter Show on the Wizarding Channel in her room. (A/N: Yes, they do have TV's all of a sudden.)

"Today we're going to play a game," Skeeter said. "I'm going to say a word and the first word that comes from your mind you've got to say," She told her audience, "But you've got no time to think. Okay, we'll start with you," she pointed at someone. "Clouds," she said.

"Er..."the man replied.

"Oops! Times up. Next person. Clouds."

"Rain," another person said.

"Beautiful," she said.

"You," he replied.

"Thanks! Heart."

"Love," he said.

"Er...Love," she said.

"Kim," he replied.

"What?!" a girl in the back exclaimed, "You love me?"

"Wow!" Nicole said, "This game really works. You saw how the real feelings came out. Why don't you try this game for yourself? We'll be back after the break."

Mya's little face lit up. I'm brilliant, she thought to herself.
