Ron couldn't help but notice that though all the years they were always just going, going, going: going to class, going to danger, going anywhere they were needed to be because they had to. But their final destination was never quite clear; they always had something else to do after, somewhere else they were needed, something else they had to keep on living and fighting for, and there was never an end or a final stop in sight.

But when he saw Harry's body limp in Hagrid's arms and heard Hermione's horrified sob, he finally realized that their final destination maybe wasn't so far away after all- because Death doesn't like to be kept waiting and they'd already evaded him long enough.
