Of course, the family, our friends, the whole Wizarding World welcomed him back with open arms.

The Boy Who Lived was back, and getting married, and the war was finally forgotten.

And no one but Ginny noticed that I was still upset.

She blamed herself for not warning me, I think.

And maybe if I’d known about them, known he was coming, known that I’d see him.

But couldn’t have him.

Maybe if he hadn’t been sprung on me like that, hadn’t held me, hadn’t kissed me.

Maybe I could have welcomed him back as a friend.

But Harry had made the first move.

He’d never beaten me at chess, but I’d played black this time.


My Big Damn Table.
