Day by day by day has passed him by here. Here, in this place of peace that is nearly beyond all war, this second home of his beyond where wars matter anymore. What battles of men and mages matter when all the stars are singing their own deaths hour after hour outside the window?
Day by day until the days seemed almost to melt together sometimes, until one day, he approaches the bar, and instead of his usual butterbeer and breakfast, only a note appears.
It's time.
Harry looks over his shoulder towards the door and nods.
"Thank you, Bar." He rests his hand on the smooth wood surface for several long moments, fishing for words that are not there. He has no words to explain the deepening uncertainty in his heart that has been sleeping like a winter beast all these long, long months, or the sudden fierce love he feels for this place.
She seems to understand.
A second note appears with a large bar of chocolate.
Just in case.
He almost laughs, tucks the chocolate bar into his pocket, and withdraws his hand.
After a short trip to his room to gather what few belongings of his he feels should come home with him, he slips around the tables and to the door, clicking it open easily. He takes one final look around, draws in a deep breath, and leaves.
Whether in this life or the next, the threads that hold souls to the meeting of ways break only when they are meant to. This thread is strong, and will hold no matter what transpires outside that door between now and his return.
Harry isn't one for long good-byes, or allowing others to try to follow or advise or worry, but Bar will thoughtfully provide a note to any of Harry's acquaintences:
It's time.
[OOC: Harry has now officially moved into book 7 canon. It has been generally agreed that all posts by characters moving through book 7 canon will be made behind LJ-cuts with spoiler warnings until September to give everyone time to read the book.
In an attempt to be organized, there are two Potter puppet posts: HERE is sort of a role call; other discussion points are less important unless anyone really avidly disagrees with spoiler-cutting book 7 stuff until September. HERE Potter muns, non-Potter muns, and prospective future Potter muns can sign up to RP stuff from book 7, either for Millicanon or just to have some fun tinkering with characters and ideas that grabbed your interest.]
