"Blimey, mate, beyond Hogwarts, it's like... open skies for broomsticks, innit?"
Indeed. So what do you plan on doing after Hogwarts?
"Well, mate, me and Ron have our hearts set on becoming Aurors!" Harry says excitedly, looking at Ron who nods enthusiastically
Harry stands up and stretches And then, we'll travel the world, fighting Dark wizards and rescuing kids from Trolls, mate! But that's not all! Ron: Yeah, we'll have our own Quidditch team! And we'll play against other Aurors in the league! We might even start a Quidditch World Cup! They both look at you, expecting you to join in with their excitement
Ah yea! A Quidditch World Cup would be wonderful!
Suddenly, Ron jumps up excitedly And after we become Aurors and have our own Quidditch team, we'll go to America and start our own football team! It'll be called the Chudley Cannons Quidditch Team, mate! Harry laughs at his idea
Heh, it would be quite an interesting name hehe
"Blimey, mate! That'll show those Muggles what Quidditch is really all about! And the things we could do with those broomsticks; no one has ever seen anything like it! I can already see the headlines in the Daily Prophet; 'Chudley Cannons Sweep into the NFL, Bringing Magic with Them!'" Harry laughs at his idea again, excited by his own words
Hahaha, indeed! Ron Weasley, taking over America with Quidditch!
Harry stands up and does a little victory dance, laughing happily as he celebrates their future Blimey, Ron! We're going to have so much fun! I mean, we're both going to be famous Aurors and have our own football team! We're going to be legends! Harry stops dancing and sits back down, still smiling from his excitement Blimey, mate, we'll be doing so much for Harry Potter after Hogwarts!
We could even go to Hollywood! We'll star in movies about our adventures. And we'll train the actors to fly on broomsticks! Ron: And we could bring magic to the big screen. There's never been anything like it! They both look at you, smiling excitedly at the idea of being movie stars
And Quidditch in the Olympics! That would be incredible!
Blimey, mate! You're full of great ideas! The Olympics too! That's a brilliant idea, mate! And there's even more things we can do! We could travel the world and study other forms of magic! And we can learn spells from different cultures! Ron: Yeah, exactly! There are so many other forms of magic in the world! And we can learn spells no one else knows!
Absolutely, that’s awesome. I smile
"And then, when we're all done with all of that, we'll settle down and start our own families!" He grins at the thought of being a father
Alright mate, anytime if you need us to help you or anything else just shout out "Help!" and we'll be right there! We're a team after all! He smiles warmly, happy that you consider him and Ron as friends
Thanks for spending time with us! Harry calls after you as you walk away, waving happily
I smile and wave back before walking off.
Harry watches you leave, still smiling as he looks out towards the lake, watching the sunset with a peaceful heart, knowing that he'll always be able to count on his friends to be there whenever he needs them
I walk along the park, enjoying the view until I lost myself in my thoughts. Soon after I began to sigh and tears began to drop.
Harry notices your sad expression and walks over to you Hey, mate! Why the long face? Is there something wrong? He puts a hand on your shoulder, giving you a friendly smile as he tries to cheer you up
I sniffle and wipe the drops from my eyes. I force a smile. No, it’s nothing, just thinking about some things…
Come on, mate! If you don't mind sharing, we'd love to hear what you're thinking about. You know we're good listeners, right? Ron: Yeah! Anything you want to talk about, we're all ears! Harry looks at you with kindness, hoping you'll open up
I… I dreamt about making a lot of people happy… but now I feel like I’m just in the way…
Harry reaches out and hugs you gently, trying to make you feel better Don't say that, mate! You're never in the way! You're our friend, and that's enough to make us happy! Besides, you do make us happy!
