Chapter 1.
"You ok Harry?" asked Ron.
"Just a dream from the past," yawned Harry.
"Nightmare?" asked Ron.
"No," said Harry. "Memories."
Harry and Ron walked down to the Gryffindor common room. Harry looked around. Was this going to be the last time he walked into the common room? Hermione and Ginny came down from the girl's dormitory.
"Ready to go?" asked Ron.
"I guess so," said Hermione, looking at Ginny who nodded.
"I'm going to miss this place," sighed Ron.
Harry climbed out of the portrait followed by Ginny. Then Ron and Hermione followed.
"You know Ron. You and Hermione don't have to come with me. You could come back here," said Harry.
"No mate. I'm with you and so is Hermione," said Ron.
Ginny looked at Harry.
"We need to move quicker or we'll miss the train," warned Hermione.
They ran to the train and found a compartment. Five minutes later Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom walked in.
"Hey Neville. How are you feeling?" asked Harry.
"Better than I did, Harry," replied Neville.
Harry looked out the window and sadly watched Hogwarts fade into the distance.
"This time next year will be our last journey on this train won't it Harry?" sighed Neville.
"Actually Neville. I won't be returning to Hogwarts," said Harry.
"Why?" asked Luna.
"I've got something else to take care of," said Harry.
"Like taking care of You-Know-Who?" asked Luna.
"Yes," groaned Harry. I don't need this.
"You dumped Ginny so you could go off running after You-Know-Who?" asked Luna.
Ron looked at Harry.
"You dumped Ginny. You said you two split up," said Ron.
"We did," said Ginny.
"Why split up?" asked Hermione.
"Harry wants to be noble and do the right thing," said Ginny
"I don't want to be noble and I don't want you to be hurt," said Harry.
Harry opened the door of the compartment and left. Ron followed.
"Harry wait up," called Ron
"What?" asked Harry.
"You shouldn't have done it," sighed Ron.
"And let her get hurt?" asked Harry.
"You already hurt her by that. I might not be that good at reading girls but you hurt her," Ron sighed again.
"What's that for?" asked Harry.
"Now I've got to do my duty," Ron clenched his fist.
Harry looked at Ron. "What?"
Ron punched Harry and looked at him.
"That." He said before walking off.
