Harry enjoyed his new-found freedom, at least it was what he kept telling himself. He ate alone downstairs at the Leaky Cauldron. Sometimes he went out and explored London for the first time on his own. It was much bigger than he realised. Any hopes of running into her were quickly diminished. When he received his list from Hogwarts, he bought his school supplies at Diagon Alley, hoping he would run into her. He saw everyone from Hogwarts but Hermione. Only then, did he realise what a terrible mistake he made in the train. He never wanted their relationship to end, and he had been an idiot.
