Before he’s finished packing, the boy arrives, as he’d known he would. Though he’d hoped he wouldn’t.
He thinks he’s making things better, saying goodbye, he thinks with quiet regret. He’s too young to know he’s wrong.
Leaving Harry is so much easier than stepping out through the doors of the Great Hall, and shutting them firmly at his back. Picking up his bags, and marching down the steps to the lawn, and on down the path to Hogsmeade, away from Hogwarts and everything it stands for to him. Love and betrayal, and lastly…
Hope. The cruelest gift of all.
