Disclaimer: So I do not own Harry Potter. Dang. Where's a freaking Genie when you need one. Oh, yeah, I'm also disclaiming Fergie's song 'Big Girls Don't Cry'.

A/N: This is probably the last chapter but keep your eye out for the sequel which will be called Spotlight. You guys are awesome. Thanks so much. P.S., the song is going to skip around a little but that's just the way I am. Thanks again for reading.

October 18

Dear Harry,

The smell of your skin lingers, on me now,

So I've had tons of time to think about what you told me in that last dream, though I admit I never really wanted to think about letting go even though your gone.

You're probably on your flight back to your home town.

Until I met you, Harry, I never believed that it was so easy to fall in love and yet here I am, completely torn up inside and slightly dependent on your presence.

I need some shelter of my own protection, baby.

I suppose you were right when you said that the dreams weren't helping me. They made me miss you all the more. They made me crave the very thought of you.

To be with myself instead of calamity,

Peace, serenity.

But I thought of you drive me crazy sometimes and I'm overcome with grief and I get so scared because I don't know how I'm ever going to make it without you, alone.

The path that I'm walking, I must go alone,

I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown.

And I always thought that we'd be together after the whole war, and we'd have our house and, I don't know, maybe even create a family together, though we never thought that far.

Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they.

And every time I think about what we could have had and what I don't have now, I get so angry and life just seems bitter and worthless. Which is why I guess you were right when you said I should let you go.

And I foresee the dark ahead, if I stay.

Harry, I love you.

I hope you know, I hope you know,

That this has nothing to do with you.

But I know I can't hold onto you forever because I'll drive myself insane if I try to.

It's personal, myself and I,

We've got some straightenin' out to do.

I already know I'm always going to think about you at some point in the day, most times in the day.

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,

And I already know that it's going to be hard for me to move on, because I'll never be able to forget about you. But there's things I need to do, things I need to accomplish that I can't if I hang onto you.

But I've got to get a move on with my life.

It's time to a big girl now.

Of course, there will be tears, quite a few, trust me, but I've got to stop crying.

And big girls don't cry.

I love you Harry, and I'll never forget you.

Love,

Katrina.

I placed the last letter in back of the others, folding them up and writing 'Dear Harry' on the front. Smiling at it, I kissed it and placed it in front of some flowers on his gravestone.

I shook my head as I got to my feet. "I think I'm going to be okay now, Harry. I'm going to get a new job and everything, you know? Something I actually like to do. You don't have to worry anymore. And neither do Ron and Hermione," I added glancing back at the two of them. "So I'm not as alone as I thought I was. And I'm fairly certain that I'll be fine."

I pressed my fingers to my lips and blew him a kiss. "Until later, Boy-Who-Saved-The-World."

Grinning, I spun around to go join Hermione and Ron, slipping my arms through both their arms. "You okay, Kat?" Ron asked me, smiling nervously.

I looked at the both of my friends and I said, "Yeah, I'm completely fine. Let's go get some ice cream or something."
