 The goodbye.

Harry was sitting in his Common room, he looked around at the empty room.

Everyone was down the stairs in the Great Hall for their dinner but Harry couldn’t join them, he sighed as he leaned back on his bed to look up at the ceiling then smiled when a memory hit his mind.

‘Harry, you solved it, you solved it!’ Hermione screamed while running up to him and giving him the biggest hug he had received from her.

It was in Second year, Hermione had been petrified by the basilisk, Dobby had begged him to Leave Hogwart but he had firmly refused because Hermione was muggle-born and he was not going to leave her while she was in danger.

            He didn’t know why she occupied his thoughts but she did, from the very first moment he had met her, he was amazed by her sassiness, yeah okay, so he thought she was cute, but who didn’t?

            He knew things about her that no one else knew, he knew how she bit her lower lip whenever she was nervous or concentrating on her work, how her deep brown eyes were filled with concerned for him whenever he was explaining how he had the nightmare of his parents, Cedric and Sirius dying, how they were filled with fear and admiration when he was stormed off to go and rescues the people he cared about with no thoughts for himself. He knew what she was thinking before she even said it and vice versa for her to him. They were that close, ever since 4^th year during the Triwizard championship, she was the only who stuck by him when everyone, even Ron, turned their back on him so it made him closer to her, so close that he was able to finally confide in her how the Dursley treated him, she was shocked and furious that she ready to go to the house and blast it to pieces.

            Harry smiled at all the time when she was furious, now bear in mind, he had never really been in the receiving end of her temper and was thankfully grateful for that but he just couldn’t help but chuckled when he remembered that she slapped Malfoy in order to get back at him for making a mockery out of Hagrid, she was that protective that she was scary or bloody mental what Ron used to label her.

            Ron…his other best friend, the one who became his best friend from the minute Ron stepped into the compartment and asked if he could sit there.

Ron made him laugh and made sure to lighten the moment when ever it got tensed, he knew that Ron felt a third wheel when it came to Hermione and Harry because they both were the main part of the group but Harry made sure to include Ron in a lot of things but it was quite hard.

            Both Ron and Hermione were happy, Hermione was going out with Krum and Ron…surprise, surprise! He was going out with Lavender which was not a big surprise for Harry but a big surprise for everyone else because they were convinced that Ron and Hermione were going to get together which had caused Harry to be in fits of laugher the entire day, Ron to be stunned that people were expecting him to go out with someone he saw as a sister! And Hermione was furious beyond words that she threatened to find the person who started the rumour in the first place and hex them, which had sent nearly the entire student body to head out of the great hall to the classroom in an amazing speed.

            Wanna know the real reason why Harry wasn’t down in the Great Hall with his friends?

He was preparing to leave Hogwart and finally go to war with Voldemort, he just couldn’t tell Hermione and Ron. That was Professor Dumbledore’s job.

Harry sighed as he picked up his rucksack and hauled it over his shoulders while grabbing the sword and placing it in his sheath and strapping it to his back, he placed his wand in his holder while a knife in it sheath then into his boot.

            Harry walked down the stairs till he reached the Great Hall, the doors were opened but everyone was facing the Teachers table. Harry looked and saw that Hermione looked a little puzzled about what was going on, he saw Ron lean over and asked her something which caused her to shrugged, his heart broke at the thought of never seeing them again, he saw Neville and smiled, he had grown to be a fine man, he was more confident in himself now, Ginny had grown in to a fine woman and was now going out with Draco.

Draco… Now that was the one thing that shocked everyone, he had turned sides and was now on Harry’s side, he had helped Harry to keep his temper under control and to control his emotions in order for the spells to work which he would be forever grateful for.

            Hagrid was sitting at the table, looking around, which Harry presumed to be him, he smiled lightly when he remembered how Hagrid came and saved him. He was like a big father figure and he loved Hagrid.

“Goodbye everyone, I hope I will see you again but if I don’t, I will forever protect you.” Harry whispered then turned away and walked out of the door

           

Prof. Dumbledore POV

            He had called everyone to face him while he had news to give them. The truth was that he had called everyone to face him so that Harry could get out unnoticed.

He had saw Harry come to the door and look at each person who was there for him through out the years, he felt his heart break when he saw the utter heartbreak in Harry’s eyes as he looked at Hermione and Ron, the first two to become his best friends and stick by him.

The famous Trio everyone had called them, you never saw the one without the other two with them  apart from that incident in their fourth year.

Their friendship was precious to Harry that he refused to let them know that he was going to fight Voldemort in order to save them from following him, Dumbledore knew that Harry knew that he might not live and he didn’t want for his best friends to see him die before their very eyes like Harry had seen Sirius die.

He remembered when he had first met Harry, all scared about coming here then seeing him willing defeat the troll in order to save Hermione, why did he do that? Save a girl that he barely knew and Ron disliked her at the time, yet he saved her for some strange reason, their friendships grew stronger each year they had an accident, he had one wish, that Harry could just lead a normal life but he knew just as well as everyone else, Harry was not normal and would never be.

Today was the day that he was going to tell the whole school the truth about Harry and Voldemort, the truth that Harry had kept to himself ever since he had learned it.

“I’m so sorry Harry for keeping this from you, I should have told you from the moment you asked me why Voldemort had come after you but I was scared, I let my heart rule my head, I let love cloud my judgement.” Dumbledore whispered as Harry turned away and walked out of the castle, hopefully not forever.

Now it was his time, he stood up and cleared his throat as he faced the school, he opened his mouth to the eagerly awaited people in front of him.

Hermione POV

            ‘Where was Harry!’ was the only thing that was running through her mind as she looked around for her raven dark hair, green eyed best friend, he was no where in sight and she was also confused why Dumbledore had told everyone to look his way as he had something to tell them, she noticed that he was deep in thought about something.

She let her mind wandered to the first time she had met  Harry, even through he was in a compartment with Ron, she could tell that he felt alone, that he wasn’t used to all the attention.

Hermione sighed when she remembered when Harry had told her how the Dursley treated him, she was furious beyond words and was extremely upset that Harry had went through all that just because of who he was.

She loved Harry more than just a best friend, she knew she did but she firmly believed that he didn’t feel the same way about her because he had never given any indication that he felt the same, she had broken up with Krum the night before but hadn’t had the chance to tell anyone because it had been such a hectic day, not to mention that Harry was barely around.

“Where’s Harry?” Ron whispered, Hermione shrugged as she looked back toward Dumbledore as he rises from his chair, she smiled when a memory hit her mind, when Harry saved her from the Troll.

“What made him do that?” Hermione asked herself as she tuned herself back into Dumbledore.

She knew everything about Harry, just like he knew her, she knew how he would bite on his tongue while he was thinking about something, how his green eyes would be filled with concern and care for her whenever she was upset about something, how they would flash with anger whenever someone insulted her or his family, how they would go dark whenever he talked about his nightmares or think about the past.

She knew how bad of a childhood that he had and she desperately wished that Harry would be able to have a normal childhood but she knew that her best friend, no matter how unselfish he was, no matter how many times he placed everyone before him, he would never be normal, he was a special person to have walked this earth.

“Students, teachers, I have something very grave to tell you and it breaks my heart to tell you this…” Dumbledore started.

Ron POV

            He was confused and annoyed, he wanted to know what Dumbledore was keeping from them and he wanted to know where his best friend was!

He smiled when he remembered when he first met Harry, he really expected Harry to be like Malfoy except he came in contact with a normal boy who didn’t have a clue who he really was and what to expect.

            He remembered how Harry would defend anyone who was being annoyed and that was when he knew just how special Harry was, he was nothing like anyone else he came in contact with, a young boy who put people before him and was willing to give up his life for his friends if that what kept them safe, he was always in awe of Harry.

            Yes he knew that he was extremely childish and thick-headed in 4^th year, but he really believed that Harry had put his name in the goblet, it was only after the dragons, he knew that Harry would never willing place himself in that kind of danger unless his friends was, Hermione had managed to knock sense into him, telling him that Harry doesn’t want fame, his just wanted his best friend back.

            He looked at his female best friend across from him, she looked really worried about Harry, he knew that Hermione loved Harry more than a friend and he knew that Harry loved Hermione more than a friend, even though Harry didn’t know it, it in the way how they acted together.

            You can’t tell that you are in love but feeling, thinking or even talking, Love is in what you do.

            Ron was startled out of his musing when Dumbledore stood up with a grave face.

“Students, teachers, I have something very grave to tell you and it breaks my heart to tell you this…” Dumbledore started.

“Students, teachers, I have something very grave to tell you and it breaks my heart to tell you this…” Dumbledore stated as he looked around. “Harry Potter is no longer in the castle in anymore.” He said but was cut off from the gasp from everyone, he noticed that Hermione had tears in her eyes. “Harry had left to go and finally face Voldemort for the final battle, he had came to me last night and told me his plan, he even left a letter for me to read to all of you about who he really is and I hope you will listen to it. But first I have to tell you something what I told Harry in his 5^th year, straight after his Godfather had died.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows not…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies… Yes people, Harry is the only one who can Kill Voldemort.” Dumbledore confirmed as he looked at everyone, they were all utterly stunned to say.

“What about the letter? What does it say?” One of the Ravenclaw demanded, Dumbledore nodded as he picked up the letter and opened it, he cleared his throat once more.

“You may speak.” He said to the letter, he placed the letter on the table and soon Harry’s filled the air.

*Flashback to Harry writing the letter*

‘Hi everyone, it’s me Harry, I just wanted to let you all know that I am grateful to have met you all and to have gotten to know you all.

I just had to make some things clear, to some of you, especially a lot you of you apart from Gryffindor, think I loved the frame. I didn’t, I am only famous because I was the only one who stopped Voldemort, and did any of you think about what I had lost? I lost my parents to him, I lost my godfather, I suffered years of abused from my aunt and uncle then my cousin. All I wanted to be was normal but I finally realised that I can’t be normal, I can never be normal, no matter how much I wish for it. All I wanted to do was belong but when I first came here I realised that I don’t belong here just like I don’t belong in the muggle world.

Ron, you are my best friend, you helped me when I first came here and you make me laugh,  we had a lot of fun didn’t we?…’ “We sure did buddy.” Ron muttered ‘And I want you to thank your family for me, for making me feel welcomed and a part of you family. I hope that you and Lavender will have a great life together and I will do everything in my power to make sure that you will have a life.

Hermione, you are my other best friend, the one who knows me better than myself and I can’t think of another woman to share myself with, every time I go out with a woman, I find myself comparing them to you and you are and always will be the most important one woman in my life everyone else just comes second to you. I have to tell you this, I love you more than a best friend, and you are my soul mate and the only one who can keep me grounded. I’m really sorry that I never told you this before but I was scared, amazing, the boy who lived is scared of a girl who is half his weight and nearly in height…’ “I’m not that small!” Hermione huffed out. ‘Teasing, teasing I know that you are not that small but you are amazing girl and Krum is lucky to have you…’ “Oh Harry.” ‘I just hope that one day you will find the happiness you deserve.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I love you all like a brother or sister, most of you as moms and dads, grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, you made my life more bearable to live and I will do what ever it takes to protect you all! I hope that I will see you all again but if I don’t I will protect you in my after life, no matter what it takes.

Be safe that all I ask you and please don’t come after me, I can’t fight Voldemort while worrying about you as well.

Harry.’

            Hermione was sobbing while Ginny comforted her.

“I love you too Harry.” Hermione whispered, Ginny had tears in her eyes when she heard Hermione’s statement, most of the women were crying and the men were stunned. Dumbledore had a tear rolling down his face as he lifted up his goblet, everyone did the same.

“To Harry Potter, the only one who could make us cries.” Ron muttered and everyone laughed while wiping their tears away.

“To Harry Potter, our best friend and may he come back to us in one piece.” Hermione stated while looking at and Ron, he grinned nodded as they clinked glasses.

“To Harry Potter.” Dumbledore cheered, and everyone lifted their goblet into the air.

“To Harry Potter.”

            “I will do what ever it takes to protect you.” Harry muttered to himself as he smiled in the darkness of the night while heading off to face Voldemort.

The end
