It was a couple of months after the Battle of Hogwarts and they were having a memorial service for all the victims that lost their lives on the Hogwarts grounds while they were trying to rebuild the castle. Harry never thought he would be back so soon, or at least seeing familiar faces he hasn’t…
“What’s new with me?.. Nothing. I started volunteering at this bookshop down in Hogsmeade. Life was fairly boring at home. Now that school is over I have nothing to look forward to so I’ve just been spending my days there, helping out in whatever way I can.”
Astoria laughed at his last question, “Dating? No. Still single. I think that’ll have to wait. I’m not really at that point in my life where I want to date.. I don’t know. Not yet, I guess.”
“Hmm. I think Draco might be staring at you.” Harry said as he looked into the distance and could clearly make out a blonde hair boy staring in his direction. “Don’t worry about it. I saved his life during the Battle. The least he could do is to have some courage to come up to me and say thanks. But he won’t.” Harry sighed as he tried to take a seat amongst the rubble and wait for the ceremony to begin. He could see Professor McGonagall make her way to the stage. “It kinda feels…weird to be coming back does it?”
Astoria frowned ever so slightly, “If you don’t mind, I think everyone needs to get off his back for a bit. I.. I’ve talked to him a few times and every single time any of this comes up, he struggles with the conversation. I think all of this is just as hard on him as it was on any of us… As it was on you. And if you don’t mind me saying this, when everything was over, you got everyone’s love and blessings.. He and his family just got spurned by everyone. In the end, they were merely trying to stay alive and keep each other safe. That doesn’t mean that what they did was never wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I’m just as upset as anyone that they allowed themselves to get involved in Voldemort’s business. I just wish that others would understand their helplessness.”
Astoria looked briefly at Draco who was standing a little ways away before looking back at Harry.
“I know Draco.. He’s extremely grateful. There’s just something in him that won’t allow himself to walk right up to you and thank you. While many may think it’s pride, I think it’s humility.”
She gave Harry a small smile at the end of her long lecture, “He’s finally seen the light so to speak.”
Harry looked over at him and stared at him for the longest time. Then he stared back at Astoria. “I know.” He finally answered her. Then at that brief instant, Professor McGonagall got to the stage. “Good afternoon. It’s been a merely 5 years since the Battle of Hogwarts and some of you may remember some of it. We’ve lost loved ones here, but without their sacrifice, the wizarding world would not be where it is today. WIthout one hero, who happens to be with us, You-Know-Who would be just as powerful as he was 25 years ago. So with that, I give a salute to Harry Potter, the man who gave up everything to make our world peaceful once more. To Harry Potter!”
Harry watched as every wand was raised in his memory. He let out a small little smile and looked towards the sky where the sun was peeking in through the clouds and could feel the sun lit upon his face. It felt good to be recognized for doing something so good. “Thank you.” He said to the crowd and to Astoria. “Thank you.”
Astoria tipped her head at him in respect. She did respect him. Even if he tried to, he couldn’t deny the fact that he had saved them all from a horrible fate. Things could have gone south for everyone, but he was the one who made sure that they all and the generations to come didn’t have to live in fear.
Harry didn’t want to get up and give a speech. He felt like he just wanted to remain quiet and be grateful that he did save al their lives from Lord Voldemort. He gently looked at Astoria and smiled. “So um, care to have a cup of coffee later?” He said as a friendly gesture.
I can.
Make a post. I was replying to yo wife haha
Oh boy.
Harry had been trailing Draco Malfoy for weeks. He was almost curious to see what was going on and what he was up to. He could hear Ron and Hermione just begging him to stop following Malfoy and to give it a rest. But he even knew where his secret hiding spot was…..The Room of Requirement. Why was Malfoy going there on a daily basis? He couldn’t even get there anymore and he couldn’t even take Ginny there alone anymore because he was always there. After sneaking around the castle in his invisibility cloak, he smacked head first into Draco. Shit. He thought to himself. Don’t let him see me.

ooc: I might be going out with my parents out to eat tonight, but if I get back soon enough, I’ll think about it!
I am the chosen one.: I’m in love with you Part 2 @Ginny
Harry smiled and almost skipped with Ginny all the way to the Room of Requirement. His heart was also skipping and he never knew he could be so happy and so in love with someone…
Ginny looked at Harry. “The room knows what we both want” she giggled. “But it’s up to you what you want. I want to show you how true my feelings are for you.” She ran her fingers through his hair, a cheeky smile appearing on her lips. “While we’re alone, I have something to tell you.”
“Well we’re alone now.” Harry smiled as he led her into the room. “So tell me what you want to tell me. Do you need me to put Imperturable charms on the doors so no one can hear us?” Harry asked and then pointed his wand at the door where a burst of purple light shined on the door. “It’s a nice place. Maybe I like being alone and quiet….away from everyone for a change.” He smiled. “Away from Quidditch. Away from the drama.”

Well this is a roleplaying group, Bellatrix. I am not attacking you or your beliefs in any way. And I’m not sure by what you mean by it being so hard to communicate with me. We are a group, Bellatrix and we need to get along with ALL members of the group. You can’t single someone out because you don’t like them. I’m trying to roleplay with you and trying to set something up with you but it’s like you’re ignoring me. I’m trying to make an effort. But saying you’re avoiding me really really hurts.

I basically see RPG as being a fun and energizing experience and making friends and just basically being as creative as possible with the person you are roleplaying with. Harry Potter roleplaying is basically roleplaying the world of Harry Potter with your fellow roleplayers and reliving that whole Harry Potter experience. What happens before the books? What happens after the books? Those are the things I am interested in exploring. Also exploring Harry’s world a little bit deeper.
Harry, can I ask you a question?
What’s your definition of RPGs? How do you see them?
Can you please send me an ask? I rather answer this question privately. Thank you.
Even though I’ve sent you an ask, I think it’d be better to discuss it openly, let other members to have a chance to get an idea of how you see and what you expect from the group as this is a matter that concerns the whole group and not just between ourselves.
I understand that. But I also do not want to bring drama into this group and make things worse than they already are. That’s why I want to discuss matters privately so that it will not turn anyone away.
