THE BOYS WHO LIVED

Chapter 21: Good Journey Hakkai

It was raining in Hogsmede as students said their farewells to their professors mostly to Hakkai Hunter who stood there with her clothes soaked to the bone. Surrounding her was 'The Boys Who Lived,' as they each gave the dragon a hug and wishing her farewell. "There is no farewell for dragons," said Hakkai as she looked at all of them. "There is Good Journey to you," she said her face was blank but they all could see that she was sad seeing them go. "Don't worry Hakkai we will write to ya," said Seamus as he boarded the train. Dean already said his goodbyes and they all gave one final hug. Hakkai could only look at them with a sad smile. "You have learned much my students and learn you have," she said.

She then called out the other two boys as they walked out again to say good bye. "Before you go I have something for you," she said and plucked a few hairs from her head which instantly turned into feathers. "Take these," she said holding them up to them, "Remember me my fellow dragons," she said as she backed away and they all boarded the train.

They watched as the Hogwarts Express began to move and Hakkai began to grow distant as the train sped faster. Hermione sighed as she watched her new friend disappear into the distance.

It was not even an hour later that some screaming could be heard and the others looked out the train. "What?" asked Ron but they were suddenly surprised by a shadow descending from beside the train. It was Hakkai in her true form.

They laughed as the dragon gave a happy honk and then another voice filled the train and a large Iron belly filled the other side of the train. Soon more dragons appeared as if flying with the train. They soon then dispersed and only Hakkai remained as she honked and the boys began laughed as she took off heading towards the west and they watched as she disappeared as she soared higher.

The train moved on and eventually stopped in London where they got off and said their goodbyes. Harry was left alone as he waited for his Aunt and Uncle to come pick him up. When they came everyone eventually left and he stood alone on the platform. His uncle though did not look very happy as Harry walked with his trunk and Hedwig's cage in hand as he walked towards the car.

When they got home he could not help but notice that he had the feeling of being watched. When he looked up there was nothing but he saw the feather that fell down and he gently took it. Looking up he saw a form disappear with the moon which is now waning.

Smiling to himself Harry walked back into the prison that was #4 Privet Drive it was yet the end of another school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The end
