Neville grabbed his bags and got off the Hogwarts express, with new hope. He decided to put what Colin had said out of his mind. And as soon as he did, the first thing he saw was Luna's face. He dropped his things and ran to her as she ran towards him. Her warm embrace was the last happy memory he had of her. Because as Luna kissed him on the cheek gently, she opened his hand and dropped the ring into his palm. It was ice cold. "Goodbye, Neville." she said as a tear streamed down Neville's face. He held her hand, but she shook her head and walked away, stronger than ever before.
Harry waited for Ginny in the Great Hall just before breakfast that morning. The Hall began to fill with students, but they were all invisible to Harry. He had to see Ginny. Harry stared down at his feet, ignoring others as they grudgingly shuffled past him. His shoelace was untied….like the rest of his life. And now it was time to tie up the loose ends. "Harry?!" Ginny exclaimed. He half-smiled as he held her tightly in his arms. " I'm so glad you're back. I need to tell you something.."
"Wait..let me go first." She said, letting go of him. Confused, he looked at her and waited for what she would say. "Harry….I don't know how to say this..and I'm sure you weren't expecting me to..but I want to break up." Harry didn't know what to think. A strange feeling erupted inside him..freedom. Liberation. Confusion. I don't have to hold on to her anymore. I don't have to stay with her. I don't need to feel guilty anymore…
"Ginny.."
"Harry, I know, I'm sorry.. I just..you're never here for me anymore! You're so distant…and distracted…I need someone who can—"
"Ginny! Thank you."
He smiled, kissed her on the cheek and walked away.
Ginny was dumbfounded.
It was 3 in the morning, and Harry ran, harder and faster than he ever had, and he didn't care who saw.
He would run till the ends of the earth to find her. But luckily, he only had to go just down the hall. He ran up, into the girl's dormitories, and he didn't care who knew. Right up to where Luna was dreaming.
"Luna?" Harry Potter whispered softly into her ear, each word dancing around her heart like a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Luna closed her eyes as he continued, "I can't imagine life without you..Promise you'll love me forever?"
Ugh. Another stupid dream...must be time for classes….
She opened her eyes to find Harry kneeling next to her. She touched his soft, smooth face…and it was real.
