The war was over. He was gone. For the first time in almost eighteen years Harry Potter felt at peace. However, his victory brought a new level of fame that he simply didn't want and so, he made the decision to leave.
It had been simple enough. He'd told only Ron and Hermione about his intentions and had assured them that his absence wouldn't be permanent and that he would always be on the end of an owl if they needed him.Then he put on his invisibility cloak and vanished.
He was away for five years.

It was a regular Saturday morning and Harry was doing what he normally did every Saturday morning and was enjoying a much-deserved lie in. After he had left the wizarding world Harry had re-joined the muggle world as he knew that was the only place where he'd be able to live in peace. He'd managed to fake enough qualifications in order for him to train as a muggle primary school teacher, the job he'd been doing for the last two years and loved. Harry was snoozing when he heard the familiar tap of an owl at his bedroom window, he hauled himself up out of bed and opened the window to let in the bird. The owl flew over to his bed and dropped two letters before flying to his bedside table and helping itself to the owl treats that Harry kept there. Harry sat of his bed and held the two envelopes in his hands before deciding to open the more official looking one first. He quickly read the card enclosed, a massive grin spreading across his face as he took in the words.
The honour of your presence is requested
at the marriage of
Hermione Jean Granger
and
Ronald Bilius Weasley
On Saturday 4th June
Two thousand and five
At four o'clock in the afternoon
The Burrow
Ottery St Catchpole
He quickly opened the second envelope, which was as he expected a more personal note from Ron and Hermione. He hadn't seen them in person in five years, but they kept in regular contact and filled Harry in on whatever news that he was missing whilst being away. This was how Harry knew about all the weddings and births that had occurred during his absence.
We finally set a date! Mum was about to do her nut in so 'Mione and I decided to pick one out of thin air! I reckon six weeks is enough time for her to plan a wedding, right?! I really hope you come mate, I'd love you to be my best man but of course I understand if you don't feel…
The handwriting on the letter changed and it looked as if the paper had been grabbed out of Ron's hands by a very frustrated Hermione.
You are coming the wedding Harry. I for one simply am not taking no for an answer never mind Ronald. Five years is a very long time and we need our best friend back.
Harry laughed to himself. Hermione was right though. He'd been gone for long enough and it was time to go back. For that reason, Molly Weasley had the shock of her life when Harry Potter turned up on her doorstep unannounced that very afternoon.

I'm sure this idea has been done to death, but the plot bunny visited me and wouldn't leave me alone until I did something about it! Please be gentle I haven't written anything for a very long time! I of course don't own Harry Potter (though I wish I was clever enough to have created something so amazing!) I apologise that this chapter was short, I promise the next chapter will be longer! xx
