Chapter 8

Good-Bye

"It's alright. You tried. It's not like you could take me out or anything." Sirius let out a bark laugh, kind of the type he did before dying. Harry smiled. He couldn't believe that tomorrow he was going to leave. So the four of them decided to talk untilmorning, just to bond, before Harry had to leave.

They talked and drank tea, they mostly talked about Teddy and then made something to give him when he left, until Mrs. Weasley came in to make breakfast. Harry thought Teddy would love it. Remus stuck the package in his pocket, quickly, before anyone else came in the kitchen. After a while, people started walking in for breakfast. Everyone sat down and starting talking, waiting for the food to come. "Good morning," Ginny sat down beside Harry.

He smiled, "Good morning," he kissed her on the lips.

"Ewwww." Albus said. The younger Harry and Ginny laughed.

Teddy sat between his parents. "I've only known you for a few days. But I'm going to miss you," Remus said, looking at him.

"I've been missing you every day, since I was about three. When I realized that you wouldn't be coming back. I don't want to modify your memory. I want you to remember me,"

"We want to remember you too. You are such a sweet kid." Tonks smiled.

"But at least I will have some memories of you," Teddy said, weakly.

"Yeah we won't remember you." Remus said.

"Breakfast," Molly came in and the table was filled with eggs, toast, bacon, and orange juice. They started eating, making the conversations on hold. Everyone ate slowly, not wanting to leave, or others to leave. When everyone was done, the future people went upstairs to change into the clothes they all came in.

Then went back downstairs, where everyone was lined up to say there good-byes. Snape, Dumbledore, Arthur, and Moody had also come, to have their memories modified. Harry went down the line first. "Never give up you three," He told himself, Ron and Hermione.

"You'll get me eventually," He winked at Ginny. She blushed back. "Your joke shop is great," He smiled at the twins. Smiling, they high-fived. He hugged Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. He came to Snape, "Thank-you. For everything. I never got to say it." and he hugged him. Snape looked surprised from this action. Harry just laughed, and moved down the line, seeing Ginny, Ron. Hermione following him. "Sir," He nodded at Dumbledore, and hugged him also. He shoke Moody's hand, and then moved on to Remus and Tonks. "I'm sorry,"

"No you have taken great care of son. I thank you," Remus said, and hugged him, then hugged Tonks. The last was Sirius, he hugged him. "I'm going to miss you," he said.

"I'll miss you too. But I'll still have the other Harry," They both looked down the line, seeing younger Harry hugging Victoire, who was second to last.

"Yeah," Harry nodded, and he hugged him once more, having tears in his eyes.

It was Teddy's turn to say good-bye to everyone. He hugged everyone, even if he didn't know them, not saying much. (Yes even Snape. I can't even imagine the look on his face.) Until he got to his parents, he had tears in his eyes, and he hugged them tightly, not wanting to let them go. "I love you guys,"

"We will always be here," Tonks said, as Remus put his hand over Teddy's heart.

"In your heart," He finished for her.

"I'll never forget you," Teddy said, letting one tear fall.

"I wish I didn't have to forgot you," Tonks said, her tears falling also. He hugged them once last time, then said bye to Sirius, and stood by the other time-travelers. But one was missing.

"We are going to miss you little buddy," Fred and George said at the same time, as Fred ruffled James' hair.

"But I don't want to leave you!" James yelled.

"James Sirius! Over here now!" Ginny scolded her oldest son.He rooled his eyes, then hugged the twins, then ran over to the others.

"Good-Bye! We will miss you! We must leave now, and I'm sorry, but I must do this," Harry pulled out his wand. "Oblivate!" It hit all of them, and they all looked confused for a second, then looked by the door, and the time-travelers were gone. They all wondered why they were standing there. Then went back to their own business.
