3.9 happy goodbyes

Y/N's pov ϟ

"Hello Harry. Y/N." Remus nodded to us as we entered his office, light jazz music playing as he packed his things. 

"I saw you coming." He held up the Marauder's Map before shutting the cabinet next to me with a flick of his wand.

When Professor Lupin saw how worried we were, he said, "I've looked worse, believe me," with a small grin. I returned the smile as Harry started walking towards Lupin.

"You've been sacked."

"No. I resigned."

"Resigned?" I questioned as I stepped up next to Harry. "Why?"

"It seems Professor Snape has let slip of my condition. This time tomorrow the owls will start to arrive and parents will not want a-" he paused before continuing. "Well, someone like me teaching their children."

"But, Dumbledore-" Harry pleaded as Professor Lupin waved his wand to close up his suitcase.

"Dumbledore has done enough for me. Besides, people like me are used to it by now. Why do you look so miserable, Harry?" 

I looked over to see Harry's face scrunched up in sadness. 

"None of it ever made a difference. Pettigrew escaped."

"Harry, you helped uncover the truth and saved an innocent man from a terrible fate," he chuckled as he lifted up his briefcase. "It made all the difference in the world."

"Since I am no longer your teacher, I feel no guilt giving this back to you. Mischief Managed." Professor Lupin handed the map back into Harry's hands.

"This isn't goodbye. I'm sure we will meet again soon, including you, Y/N." He turned to look at me. "Your mother was exceptionally kind, just like Harry's, but that's a story for another time."

He then turned towards the door with his cane and left Harry and I in his office. We watched as Lupin left the classroom, my head leaning on Harry's shoulder.

"Harry!"

Harry and I walked into the Great Hall to see Neville running up to us.

"Wherever did you get it?"

I looked at Harry quizzically as he did the same.

"What are you talking about, Neville?" I asked.

"Harry!" It was now Seamus' turn to run up to him. "Can I have a go, after you of course!"

Harry quickly ran over to the Gryffindor table where people from all houses were standing around a large package.

"Quiet!" Ron yelled at Seamus. "Let the man through." 

He looked at Harry apologetically before saying, "I didn't mean to open it and they made me do it!" pointing at Fred and George.

"Did not!" their voices rang in unison.

"It's a firebolt!" Harry exclaimed as I gasped with joy.

"Harry! That's- that's an international standard broom!" I managed to get out as he lifted it into the air. "It's the fastest broom in the world!"

"But who sent it?" Harry looked around the group of people but no response.

"No one knows." Hermione pulled out one of Buckbeak's feathers and smirked. "But, this came with it."

The four of us gave knowing glances before Harry took the firebolt and ran towards the courtyard, a large group of people following him. I laughed as I ran after him, arm linked with Hermione.

I could see Harry getting on the broom and screaming into the air as I entered the courtyard. Hermione and I laughed in amazement at how fast the broom flew.

"It's the Quidditch World Cup this summer!" Ron exclaimed, standing next to Hermione. "Dad probably can get tickets from work."

"Mine too!" I said happily. "I'm excited to see the match! I've been waiting for the last four years."

The three of us then bantered about quidditch, Ron and I begging Hermione to consider coming with Ron and Harry. She narrowed her eyes at us before lightly agreeing as Ron and I jumped up and down with joy.

~~

Whoosh!

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I stepped through the barrier of Platform nine and three quarters to see the busy train station.

"Bye Hermione! Bye Ron! See you at the World Cup!" I yelled as they left with their parents, both smiling widely and returning the goodbyes.

I turned to see Harry staring at me, a goofy grin plastered onto his face.

"What?" I asked with a big smile on my face.

"Nothing," he replied as we began walking out of the station.

"Harry?" I asked as I turned to him.

"Yea-" he was cut off as I planted a soft peck on his left cheek.

"Bye! I'll see you at the World Cup!" I began running out of the station, leaving a red and stunned Harry.

"Y/N!"

I enveloped my parents in the biggest hug and mumbled "I missed you so much!" into their shirts. They laughed as I took my mom's hand in my right and my dad's in my left.

"Are you excited for the Quidditch World Cup?" My dad turned to look at me with his eyebrows moving up and down, a silly thing he always did when he was excited.

"Did you get the top box tickets?" 

My jaw practically dropped to the flow as he nodded. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I sang as wrapped him in a big hug, my mom laughing in the back. 

"Now, make sure you behave young lady!" My dad waved his finger at me playfully as we apparated away from the station, my head full of happy thoughts.
