Thanks everyone! Glad that you are liking it You might have to wait a bit for the wedding Jennie. They are rather young for that!

None of us could believe how quickly the rest of the break flew, and before we knew it we were saying our goodbyes to Sirius and on our way to the train station. I had woken up from the night before with a sick feeling in my stomach. Everyone told me that it would be okay, but I hated to think of the idea of hurting Seamus, and no matter how understanding he was, it was still going to hurt.

We approached the Hogwarts Express and I saw him standing there talking to Dean. He turned and looked through the crowd, his eyes landing on me and a huge smile crossing his face.

"It's for the best," Hermione told me as he started to come towards us. "You can do this."

"Thanks," I said quietly, separating myself from the rest of them. I had been debating all morning the pros and cons of what time to tell him that I was going to start seeing Harry. Every time I felt the slightest bit prepared I thought of Seamus' face, and all my confidence disappeared.

"Hey!" said Seamus, pulling me in to a hug. "How was your break?" he asked, releasing me from the hug.

"It was good, how was yours?" I asked, giving him a little smile.

"Eh, same old I suppose. There's never a lack of funny stories when you spend a couple of days with my loony grandmother."

We both chuckled lightly before I shifted my focus to the ground. I could tell he could sense that something was wrong, but he didn't want to push.

"You alright?" he asked.

I inhaled before looking back at his face. I owed him the courtesy of at least looking him in the eye. "Listen, Seamus, I have a great time dating you these past couple of weeks."

Seamus took a small step back. "Don't," he said, holding up his hand as I went to continue. "I'll spare you having to say it."

"But Seamus," I protested.

"No, it's alright Abby. You think I didn't know? You think I couldn't sense it." He gave a shrug that was more tense and rough than he was trying for it to be.

"I never wanted to hurt you."

Seamus gave a little smile. "I know you didn't Abby. Sometimes things like these just happen, and there's not much we can do about it."

"I really am sorry Seamus," I said, wanting to hug him but not sure if my physical contact would make things better or worse.

"I swear Abby, it's okay." Seamus reached out and pulled me into another hug, holding me for a moment and breathing me in, before letting me go and walking off.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all starring at me, along with Ginny who gave me a sympathetic smile. I slowly walked over to them, watching Dean and Seamus board the train.

"Well, he seemed to take it alright," said Ron, giving me a gentle pat on the shoulder.

"Yeah he did, but he's still going to be hurting for a bit," I said with a frown.

"Well, it's alright. He'll be okay in a couple of days, and he'll find someone new," said Hermione, sneakily giving a wink to Ginny who immediately blushed.

"Well, you better start boarding," said Mrs. Weasley, separating from the group of people she had been talking to to come over to us. "Have a great semester and don't forget to write!" she said, as Ron stealthily dodged a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah, sure mom," he said, before speed walking off to the train, hoping no one had noticed. Hermione gave a little shake of the head before giving Mrs. Weasley a hug and thanking her for letting her stay with them over the holidays.

"Of course dear, of course!" she said, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley," I said, pulling her in to a hug.

"Oh you are so welcome dear," she said with a smile.

I waited for Harry to finish receiving his hug before we headed off to the train to find a place to sit. Luckily we were able to find a compartment all to ourselves, and we filed in. I smiled warmly to see Luna sitting there, reading another one of her father's magazines upside down.

"How were your holidays Luna?" I asked.

"Lovely," she said with a smile. "Father made some of his famous pumperwick beat soup."

Ron's mouth fell open slightly at the name of the soup, and Hermione discreetly stomped on his foot.

"Sounds yummy," he said, trying to recover himself. As usual Luna hadn't even been phased by Ron's reaction. I was the only one who really knew that Luna came to expect people to find what she said to be strange. In fact she was quite unsettled when they didn't find her strange.

"I could take a nap," I said to Harry as the others started in small chat about how they thought this coming term was going to be, and how nervous they all were for their O.W.L.s. Although none where quite as worried as Hermione.

"Me too," said Harry, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I laid my head against his shoulder and let out a little sigh of peace.

"I feel so stupid," Harry said, loud enough so I could only hear.

"Why?" I said, lifting my head up slightly to look at him.

"Because, we fit you and me, and I can't believe how long it took me to realize."

I let out a little laugh. "Sometimes it's easier to miss the things right in front of your face."

Harry smiled before leaning down to give my forehead a kiss.

"I love you Abby," he said.

"I love you Harry."
