It was the day. September first, once again. But this time couldn't help but feel a little different from their past experiences from this day; Especially for Ron and Harry. They were with Hermione and Ginny, dropping them off at the platform before they went to the ministry for their first day of training. Everyone was nervous. Ginny couldn't believe she was going back for her final year and Hermione couldn't believe she was going back period, but she couldn't be more thankful. Something would've been missing if she had missed out completely. Still, it would be quite different without the boys but she had to make the best of it. She wasn't alone at least. In the time she had decided she would be returning, Hermione received a letter about a week prior to current day, that said she had been appointed head girl. Everyone was so excited for her. Good news also came for Ginny. She would be captain of the quidditch teams this year. No one knew how truly excited she was. That was something she had wanted since before she even began at Hogwarts. They were final through and onto the platform. The train would be leaving at any time, so they said their goodbyes as a group and then walked together as couples. Harry and Ginny went ahead, while Ron and Hermione dropped back.

"Ron…what is it?" She looked at him with worry, and he just stared into her eyes.

"I know I don't express my feelings all that well most of the time, but I just wanted you to know I'm really going to miss you…so much." He took her into a deep hug and she rested her head on his chest.

"Oh, Ron. I miss you already. I know we've technically only been a couple for a few months now, but you've always had my heart. You don't have to ever worry about me not knowing."

"It's just I'm really going to try harder now. The thought of you being gone just makes me feel low. But I know you're doing what you need to do."

"And so are you. I'm beyond proud of what you've done and what you will be accomplishing over the next year. Just think, when I graduate, you'll be an auror. Plus, we'll even see eachother at Christmas!"

Ron smiled at her. "Absolutely. Now, Mrs. Head Girl. Shall I escort you to your carriage?" He held out his arm. Hermione smiled at him, and a single tear fell as she took hold of his face and kissed him with all she had.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too. To the moon and back.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Well, I guess this is it." Ginny said, trying to sound peppy.

"You sound so excited." Harry smirked.

"I am…it's just weird still. Thank Merlin I have Hermione."

"That's true. You'll make it. Christmas will be here before you know it!"

"I know, I know." She hugged him, and pecked him on the lips. "Do me a favor and try to write, will you?"

"I promise." He said reassuringly.

"I'll see you." She smiled at him and waved goodbye as she boarded the train.

"Bye love."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"They're gone for real now, aren't they?" Ron said, as the train disappeared from sight. "This is going to take some getting used to that's for sure."

"You've got that right." Harry told him. "Listen Ron, before we head to the ministry there's something I need to ask you."

"Yeah mate, what is it?"

"Well, you know how I have rights to Grimmauld Place now. I talked to Kingsley about it and he says I can live there during training rather than the dorms if I wanted to, since it is so close to where we will be."

"Oh, that's brilliant! I'm sure it would be more comfortable anyway."

"Right, well my question was, would you want to move in with me? I mean we'll be there together anyway. I just figured it be more home-like and enjoyable."

Ron looked slightly shocked. "Wow mate, you mean it? I'd love to." They shared a quick hug.

"It settled then." Harry laughed. "We'd best be off. Don't want to be late."

"Yeah, right." Ron agreed.
