Chapter 3: Goodbyes are Never Easy

Hermoine ran from the library and into the Great Hall to find Ron and Harry playing Wizard's Chess. Harry had sent his knight to stomp over one of Ron's little pawns. The piece shattered and was blown off the board. Ron had sent his knight to Harry's and the two battled until one chipped so much off the other that it fell apart.

"I still say thats a barbaric game to play. Besides, shouldn't you two be working on your Potions essay? Not going to do it without Snape's book?" Hermoine asked. She smirked at the thought that her jealousy was no longer needed and could wait for Ron and Harry to ask for her help.

"Well, we figured you'd help us out in the library or something." Ron replied. Harry nodded with Ron and continued to play with Ron at chess. Hermoine sat down next to them and watched the game. She pondered whether to tell them about the book. The book could be interesting and could show more about Sirius and the past. Then she thought to herself, Harry is leaving soon, he won't want to hear about some book, but it did have Sirius in it and his dad. Maybe it has more in it about Harry's family.

"Harry, I found a book in the library that had a conversation with your dad and Sirius in it. Do you want to see it?" Harry beamed. He stood up and Ron did too. Hermoine led the way through the corridor to the library. She hoped that no one had misplaced the precious book and was left unattended. Ron noticed Hermoine's robes on the ground and picked them up.

"What were you doing in here?"

"I, I left my robes in here since I heard someone come in. I got startled." Hermoine said. She picked up the robes and put them on. Then she spotted the red book in the corner where she left it. She closed the book and handed it to Harry. He held it gently and flipped through the pages. His face turned from joyous to confused. He put the book down and then slid it towards Hermoine.

"There isn't anything in it. Its just a blank journal." Harry said. Hermoine flipped through the pages and then gave up looking to find only the brown blank pages. She put the book down on the desk and sat down herself in a library seat. Harry put his hand on Hermoine's back. Hermoine looked up at him and stared into Lily's eyes. She could read them like a book, easily and clearly. He silently told her that it was okay. That even if he was leaving, he would come back. Hermoine felt tears stream down her face. She stood up and threw her arms around Harry.

"Please don't go." She whispered into Harry's ear. He shook his head. His arms held her back and he fumbled his fingers in her bushy hair. "I just can't. Hermoine, I have to." Harry said. He led the way out of the library. Hermoine wrapped her arms around Ron and Harry's arms. Both held her back and the trio left for the courtyard. Hermoine felt Malfoy rush past them. He didn't care where he was going and hit Hermoine. She fell back against a wooden lampost and Harry glared at the blonde.

"Out of my way Potter." Malfoy said.

"One day you'll regret it Malfoy! Or I'll make you!" Harry shouted to Malfoy who didn't pay any mind to Harry. Ron helped Hermoine up and she burst into tears again. She ran off after Malfoy. She continued to the Fat Lady and shouted the password.

"Carnivous Death Parrot." She said. Hermoine walked through the empty Common Room to her dormitory which was also empty. Lavender was there before she left but now was gone. Her parents probably whisked her away home before she could think about saying goodbye to her friends.

"I wonder why this book didn't have the conversation in it." She opened the book to find an entry inside it.

Blue: Huh, that's weird. Who would make such a stupid book?

"Oh I see!" Hermoine looked over at the inside cover to read the activation phrase.She smiled and read her last phrase in the book next to the word Red

"It's a set! I wonder who has the other book." Hermoine said. She looked out the window at the sunset to see Harry out on the Quidditch Field. Hermoine leapt off of her bed and dropped the open book on the ground. She ran to the cupboard for a broom and mounted.

"Harry! Don't leave yet!" She shouted. She zoomed out of the dorm to the field to watch Harry begin to talk off. She sped to the field and dove to Harry. She jumped off the broom falling six feet and ran to Harry. She reached out her arms and grasped Harry's robes.

"Hermoine. You can't come!" Harrry shouted. Hermoine let go but Harry remained afloat above Harry.

"I know I can't stop you, I never could, but I didn't want you to leave without knowing this."

"What?"

"You always have a place to come home to. Here at Hogwarts. Even if you come back with Voldemort in your head or that you failed in your mission of vengeance. You always have a place to come home to. Ron, Ginny, Luna, and I will be waiting for you Harry. Don't forget us!" Harry sped up as Hermoine watched him go. She could barely cry from Harry's launch. She waved him goodbye and he left without a word. Maybe it was too emotional for him. So that way he wouldn't turn back.

Hermione left the field for the Common Room again. She sat down on her bed and picked up the red book.

"He's gone. Whoever you are, he's gone. Harry left school. One of my best friends is gone to fight a war by himself and I can't do anything about it!" Hermoine shouted. Her shout turned into a sob. The book then appeared with different phrases.

Blue: Well, maybe he had to leave because he needed to make ends meet. He couldn't just stay.

"He could have at least said goodbye!"

Blue: He couldn't. Saying goodbye might make him want to stay. Ever thought of that? He knew that he had to leave. I'm guessng you knew too, but he had to leave and seeing you cry or seeing you beg him to stay might have made him not leave.

"Then he would regret it right?"

Blue: I can only imagine. Regret isn't something someone wants following them around.

"Who are you?"

Blue: Why should I answer that Granger?

She shut her book and changed into a cami and shorts for the night. Hermoine put the book in the drawer of her ngihtstand and dropped her head onto her pillow. She wondered whether or not things would ever get better.
