Chapter 20 : Who Will Save Me
The group of four were back at headquarters. After the attack at Hogwarts, no one truly felt safe anywhere.
"Harry I'm glad you changed your mind about next year. You need to stay in school!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Mione does everything with you have to involve studying?" Ron questioned.
Hermione frowned at him and stuck out her bottom lip. "You said I was hot when I talked about school."
Ron blushed. "Shh Mione not here."
Harry laughed as he leaned over and kissed Ginny on the head.
"Well I'm just glad you're going to be around." Ginny said to her boyfriend.
"It would seem weird without you mate. We've been together since day one." The older Weasley stated.
"I know Ron that's about the tenth time you've told me that." Harry frowned looking out the window. "I just wish she hadn't left."
"Harry, it was something she had to do." Ginny reminded him reassuringly squeezing his hand.
"Remus come on get up. I know you're upset that she's gone but she'll be ba. . ." Sirius stopped and looked at what Remus Lupin was holding in his hand. He took the letter out of the opposite hand of the werewolf and read the note.
My Dearest Remus,
By this time I'm sure you've noticed that I'm gone. I'm sorry for not saying goodbye but it's something that I just couldn't get up the courage to do. I can't be here right now, I can't be with you right now. I need to find out who I am first before I commit myself to someone.
I love you Remus Lupin, and I always will.
Halle
Sirius looked at his bloodshot eyed friend. Remus's right knuckles were white, and Sirius knew why. Clutched in his hand was the engagement ring she had returned.
She got out of town
On the railway New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway
Well, some things in this world you just can't change
Some things you can't see until it gets too late
It was odd for her to be on Kings Cross and not being heading for Platform 9 ¾ . It was something that kept stiring in her mind even as she boarded the plane. Turning back she took one last look at her home. It was quite muggle of her to use an airplane to get there, but that's what she wanted wasn't it? To be muggle again. Sighing, she turned around and entered the cabin of the plane.
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
He had aparated to the airport, he knew that's where she would be. His heart dropped as he saw her enter the airplane. Unlike the muggle movies she always told him about, Remus Lupin had arrived too late.
I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me in her apartment in the city
But some things in this world
Man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't leave until they leave you
And then the things that you miss, you say
When the wheels of the aircraft touched down excitement ran through her which continued as she entered the cab and saw the skyline. She looked at the large sign they were about to pass on her right and smiled. "Welcome to New York Halle." She whispered to herself.
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
A very broken man sat and watched the sunset over the city of London. At that moment, he didn't know exactly what he was going to do with himself. And at that moment, he didn't really care.
