Briana decided she would tell Samantha first. Of course, telling your best friend you're leaving her behind is hard, but telling your boyfriend is much harder. With that in mind, she quickly sent an owl to Sammy and invited her over. Forty minutes later and she walks in the door.

Samantha smiled at her, "Hey BriBri. So what's so important that I had to rush over here? I'm not becoming a god-mother, am I?"

Briana chuckled, "Yeah, right. No, this is serious, Samantha."

She sat down on the couch next to her, "Okay. Well, what is it?"

"I'm leaving. Back to London."

"Forever?"

She nodded.

Samantha sat back and sighed, "At least you're going home."

Briana shrugged, "I guess so. But I don't wanna leave you guys."

She waved her hand, nonchalantly, "Come on, BriBri. You know I always land on my feet. Besides; I'll come visit you every chance I get! You know my parents have the money, so don't even worry about it. I'll fly over and bother you all the time. And if you want me to, I'll even bring Justin! Speaking of J, have you told him yet?"

Briana shook her head, "Naw, I wanted to tell you first. I'm kind of dreading the moment I have to tell him."

She stood up, "Well, I'm not allowing you to put it off any longer, girly. I'm leaving now, so you owl him right away and tell him to get his ass over here. Kay?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. OH, and you better be here Saturday morning to say goodbye to me!"

She blew her friend a kiss and opened the door, "Wouldn't miss it for the world, Briana! Now send an owl to him! Love you!"

"Love you too!", Briana called as she left.

She sighed to herself and quickly sent an owl to Justin's house as well. The letter sounded serious and sad, and she hoped he would get the point that he wasn't coming over for fun. She sent the owl on its way and groaned, hoping Justin would take a long time to get there. She sat on the couch, making up a sort of script in her mind of what she would say to Justin. Twenty minutes later, he walked into her house, calling, "Briana! I'm here!"

Great. Well, no turning back now. Briana walked out into the front hall where he was standing. When he saw her, he grinned that stupid, adorable grin of his, and she fell into him, giving him a big bear hug.

He pulled away and looked at her, "What's the matter? You only hug me that tightly when there's a problem."

"Exactly, J. There is a problem. A big one."

"Well let's go sit down and talk about it, then," he looked nervous and a little scared.

The two of them sat down on the black, leather love seat that matched the couch and three chairs in the large living room. He sat down with his legs sprawled out on the couch and motioned for her to come sit with him. She did and Justin wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"So. Tell me, baby. What's this big problem you're so worked up about?"

"I... I have to leave."

"What? Okay, where to? For like a month, or something? Are you going to boarding school?!"

She shook her head, already feeling the tears coming, "It's worse than that. I'm going back to London. Forever. I'm going to live there now, for the rest of my school years. London. I'm going to go to Hogwarts, Justin. Move back into my old house. I love the sound of it, but it will be without you."

She was crying lightly now. Justin's face was very serious and he looked sad, too, saying, "Hey, it's okay, Briana. You get to back to your actual home, right? And see your old friends again. I mean, it does feel a bit like a hell, losing you, but we both know that long-distance relationships don't work."

Briana nodded slowly, "So you understand, then? You're not mad? I really still want to be friends with you."

"I'd never be mad at you. It's not like you're purposely moving away from me. And I'll always be your friend. And part of me will always love you, Briana."

"I love you too, Justin."

The couple just looked at each other with so much emotion as they kissed for one, last time. And they kissed for a long time, with all the passion and lust they had left for each other.

Because they both knew that from the moment they broke that kiss, they would just be friends.

Saturday morning and everything was packed in boxes and the Brightsman family's furniture and everything was already sent to their house out in England. Things go by that quickly when you're a magical family. Briana and her parents were getting ready to go and as promised, Samantha and Justin were both there to see her off.

"Ugh, Sammy, you better keep that promise and visit me like it's your part-time job!"

She hugged her sad friend, "My full-time job, BriBri. And don't you worry at all. Now, I want you to get a look at all the clubs around where you live in England so that when I DO come to visit, we'll know where to go, kay?"

Briana laughed, "Will do sister. Love you, Samantha!"

"Love you too, Briana!"

She turned to Justin next, "Mr. J, you have to come visit me too! And don't you dare forget that I'm like, your best female friend!"

"I'll come up with Sammy sometime. And I couldn't forget if I tried! I still love you, Briana. Enjoy England for me, will you?"

She nodded and gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, "I love you too, Justin!"

As Briana stepped into her car, she gave them one, last, long look, etching their faces permanently into her brain. She vowed that she would never ever ever forget them. She rolled down the window as the car started slowly pulling into the road, "Don't forget about me, loves!"

"Wouldn't dream of it, darling!" "We'll remember you always, BriBri!"

She smiled a little sadly, but she couldn't stay all that sad when she thought about how she was moving back to her birthplace; to herr old, real home; to her favorite place in the world; to right back next door to her best friend's house. She suddenly thought to herself about Draco, "I wonder if Draco's exactly how I remember him; small, innocent, cute, friendly, but also a jerk sometimes... funny and of course, a quidditch freak."

It has been 5 years, so she assumed he would be a bit different, but she hoped it was not a bad different. She wondered what he thought she looked like? Whenever she looked at photos of her younger self, she had to admit that she looked rather different now, in a good way, according to Samantha and mum. But when it came down to it, she was really just excited to see him again! And his parents! Narcissa and Lucius were like Briana's second parents, honestly. This will be good. No, not good; BRILLIANT.

The Brightsman family boarded the airplane, taking off. Briana looked out the small, circular window at the passing clouds until her eyes grew heavy and she fell into a comfortable sleep.
