Chapter 1 - Good Bye
Chapter 1
August 12th, 1982
"Well, tomorrow we go back home, actually I will be on my way to Scandinavia and you... you will be on your way to America." I said as I looked into those crystal blue eyes of his. "Dwayne..." I felt a tear run down my cheek. "Yes?" he asked as he wiped the tear away ever so gently. "Please write to me, stay in contact, I know its far away but...please." my voice had a high pitch as I burst into tears. He wrapped his arms around me, it felt so right, but why did this have to happen. "Everything will be fine Ariana, you will see" he said as he held me, my head rested on his chest. I was exhausted from the stress of losing him, but I didn't want to miss one moment with him.
I was accepted to the Scandinavian Academy of Transfiguration and Dwayne was accepted to the American University of Aurors. We are going to be thousands of miles apart and I don't know how we are going to make this work. "Ariana, can I tell you something?" He asked as he placed his hand on my cheek.
"Sure you can." I said, "Remember in third year, when we met, I had always had a crush on you..." He said as he gave me a gentle kiss on my head. "What? Really? I thought you never even noticed me, I was Ariana "Invisible" GoodWood." I said as I held him tight. "You weren't invisible to me." He said as he gently rubbed my back. I started to slowly drift away into a deep sleep, before my eyes closed, I muttered "I love you".
August 13th, 1982
I felt the warm sun against my cheek as I woke up, I had such a lovely rest but then I remembered, today was the day I leave Hogwarts after seven years and the last day I ever see Dwayne again. "How did I get into my bed?" I thought to myself, Dwayne probably carried me to bed, Oh how I wish he was next to me as I slept. I slowly sat up and looked around then room, the rest of the Ravenclaw girls were starting to pack all their belongings into their trunks. Though I didn't even want to start packing, but I knew I had to. I reached for my glasses on my bedside table, I felt a piece of parchment underneath my glasses. I grabbed both, put my glasses on and looked at the piece of parchment., it was a letter, to me, from Dwayne. It read:
Dear Ariana
You are one of a kind but I could not find it within me to cope with today, I am truly upset that I will be losing you. I understand that you are probably upset and very disappointed in me, that I don't even have the courage to stay, to say good bye, to hold you one last time, though this isn't good bye, for now... I'll see you soon.
I promise to write to you everyday.
I Love you Ariana GoodWood and Always will.

I couldnt believe it, he was gone. I burst into tears as crawled back under my sheets. How could he do this to me? Just not stay and say good bye. I am heart broken.
"Are you okay?" I heard Lindsey's voice as she sat on my bed. I felt her hand on my shoulder. I lifted the sheets from my face. "Dwayne, he left, without saying good bye" I said as I burst into tears again. "Ariana, I am so sorry!" She said as she hugged me. I didn't know what to do with myself. I looked down at my wrist, and looked at the sterling sliver and ruby heart charm bracelet Dwayne gave me for my birthday last year. I just stared at it as the tears run down my cheeks.
