Jen was sitting outside the gym thinking about today. It had been about an hour since she had last seen Harry.

Not that she was counting.

Nope, it wasnt that, it was something else.

Ever since he had left, she had been in a daze. It's not everyday you see your bestfriend after leaving the country for 6 years.

Bestfriend...can she really still consider him to be her bestfriend? It had been 6 years, he could've made new friends, its not like he's going to hold on to a second grade memery of her just because she had.

Oh well, when he comes back, we'll take about it, she sighed. Its not like things had changed THAT much...

sigh

"Hey, Jen!" a voice called out to her, making her snap up from her thoughts. It was Harry. He had came back, and from the looks of it, he had washed up a little bit too. Things are getting a little too complicated around here and they havent even had a real conversation yet!

Time to face the music... however depressing it might be.

"Hey,where have you been old friend of mine?" she replied, faking a smile.

Harry, who can still remember every little detail of Jen, knew something was up. "Hey, whats wrong?"

Jen looked around, avoiding his eyes, "Nothing, why you ask?"

"I had known you for practially as long as I can remember. You think someone like that would know if you're feeling a little down or not."

She blushed a little pink, "Yea, well isn't it strange? Just seeing me here all of a sudden? I know it is for me, that's for sure."

Harry agreed, "Yea, it's kind of strange, but that doesnt mean it's bad or anything. Strange can be good, and in this case, it's very good. Great, in fact. Sure, things had change over the coarse of the years, but we can still talk it out, right?"

Suddenly, Jen smiled, good old harry always know how to cheer her up. "True, but we have lots of catching up to do."

"Yea, but first, I got to tell you something," Harry didnt really want to tell her about the little problem called Dudley, but knew that she'll get mad if he didnt say anything. "You see, it's something I know you're not like, but trust me, it's really not that bad once you think about it."

"Ok..." she replied, not really sure she wants to hear this.

"Well..umm, you remember Dudley?"

Jen winced, why on earth did he have to bring him up for? "Yea, how can I not?" You see, Jen never really liked that whale of a bullying pig, not even a few years can change the fact that she dispise him. A mean, spoiled Dudley is alright with her, but can you imagian an overly-sweet, wannabe loveable one?

Ewww... that's just not right.

"well when I went home to tell my uncle about the job interview, I kind of let it slip that you were here, andnowDudley'sonhiswayovertoseeyou," Harry ended really fast, hoping that she wouldn't catch the last part.

Not a chance. "What? why did you do that for? You know how much he...well...you know...eck," Jen just couldn't find the words to express her thoughts on it.

"Yea, I know, but you know what? Im perfectly fine with it. It's not like he will remember me anyways right? His memery capasity probably doesn't even extend that long..." Jen was trying to convince herself, hoping that it would be true.

Harry looked around guiltly, knowing how much she dispised Dudley, "Will not exactly... you see, he seem to have remembered you perfectly well, and you should've been there," Harry continued,"it was like a light bulb had lighted up through his head, and a great big picture of you came up in his mind. His love for you is probably stronger then his forgetfulness," Harry thought up.

"yeah, likes thats any better," Jen replied back.

Harry was about to answered back when the delima itself appeared.

Someone had tapped Jen from behind, and as she turned around, she prayed that it wasn't who she thought it would be.

"Jen! Your back!" Dudley cried out.

Oh shit, was the only thing Jen had on her mind right now.

After they had settled down, with James and Lily on one side, and the nameless guy on the other.

Things were quiet for a moment when the guy finially decided to introduce himself.

"Hello you two, I know that your bewildered minds are just bursting for answers, but trust me, you will know in due time. I would like it if you don't interupt me till I'm done, and then you will be able to ask away. My name is Bob, and I am the guider for those such as yourselves. Death, my dear, is only just the end of the beginning and the start of a new beginning. You two are different from most people that had pasted through, but in a good...no, great way. You don't know how pleased I am to have met you two. For what you had done in the mortal world had been a really great help to both worlds. For that, you both each get a Meteor Star."

Lily lifted her eyebrow in confusion. "A what?"

"A Meteor Star," James answered. "Didn't you hear the guy?"

She shot him a glare, " Of corse I did, what I meant to say is, huh?

"like that's any better," he muttered to himself, but unfortunily (for him) she had heard him, and he got a nice smack on the head for that.

"Oww...what did I do?" he asked, rubbing his head.

"You were born."

Bob watched the exchange with an amused smile. "Now if you're all done acting like children, I can answer your question. A Meteor Star is something that we rarly give out because it's only given out to those who truely deserves it," he explained, "You know how when you see a Meteor Star back on earth, most people make a wish on it?

Suddenly, Lily broke into a huge grin 'yaah, I might be able to have my old life back after all.'" Really, so I can wish for practially anything and it would come true?"

Bob nodded his head, yes.

"Wicked! So can I wish to go back to my old life?" she asked hopefully.

Bob sadly shoke his head, "Sorry, that's one of the 'certain extents' I was talking about and one of the few things we can't grant."

"Awww...why not?" whined Lily. She really wants her old life back, and seeing as how bob isn't going to cave in, she's starting to become depressed again.

'My poor little Harry. What would he do without us?'

"Look, I know it's hard dealing with the fact that you won't see your little boy again for a while,but you got to know, you're not the only ones who has to deal with that. Many others parents had died, leaving their kids behide, and they don't even get the chance to say goodbye. At lease little Harry would know that his parents love him, and cared very much about him."

Lily was at her breaking point right now, she just can't handle it right now. Sure she was able to handle the media, deatheaters, and crazy, persistent reporters like Rita, she may be a powerful witch to the public, but right now ,she just couldn't bare to be seprated from her darling little boy.
"sometimes knowing that you have to say good-bye is the hardest," she sobbed, holding onto James's hand. "How can you live your life, knowing that you might die the next day, just because you don't fully trust the secret keeper, and some crazy, psycho out there wants to kill your family off."

Bob, well lets just say that Bob simply had no clue as what to say. He knew that this situation was going to hard to handle, but he didn't think it was going to be this bad. That lady was just too attacted to her kid, the guy too, but it doesnt seem like he knows what to say anymore. The shock of it probable finally hit him.

"I know it's hard to say good-bye and leave the only world, and life that you know behind, but there's nothing I can do to change the past. I don't have that power, and even if I did, I still wouldn't change a thing," Bob said, knowing that it would hurt the young lady even more. "The event that had occured last night was meant to happen. It is a huge chain reaction for the events of the future. It HAS to happen for the sake of the future wizarding world, which I might also add, includes your son."

With watery eyes, James asked, finally realizing that there is no way that they would be able to go back to their normal lives, "Ok, we understand it all now, our lives are in the past now, but what about our future? You said that we each get a Meteor Star, since we can't go back to our previous lives, what else can we do with it?"

Bob smiled, " Good question, and now, let me give you the answer. Well, since we rarly grant anyone a Meteor Star, let me see if I remember clearly... oh yes, i remember now...
