After Voldemort's defeat the Death Eaters have gone into hiding, but eventually one by one they have been captured and sent to Azkaban. Because of this joyous news, the people of the magical world of Britain celebrated, for their nightmare has finally ended. The celebration ended for days. After the joyous event, everyone tried to return to their normal lives. The remaining students of Hogwarts tried to continue their studies, and the business in the Diagon Alley is slowly recovering from the casualties of the war.

Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger continued their relationship as lovers since the war has finally ended. While Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley tried to pursue their relationship….. but sadly it did not turned out as they want too.

At the end of their 7th year at Hogwarts they finally achieve their dreams. Ron received a letter stating an offer of a keeper position in the Chudley Canons Quiditch team. Hermoine has been accepted in Hogwarts as a Muggle Studies Professor. And Harry became the Defense against Dark Arts Professor.

Harry changed since the war ended. It was too hard for him to take it all at once, His been staring into an empty space and been more solemn lately. He tried to act more casual around by his friends but he can't. The horrors of the war have been haunting him since the day it started. In the end he tried to live his life alone. Away from his friends and families, he also ended his relationship with Ginny. Thinking it would never work out.

Harry's POV

3 years have passed since Ginny and I broke up. She insisted that, she can wait. Whatever has been bothering me, saying that it will pass. But I know it will not. Something changed in me since the war begun. Until today that it finally ended, the horrors of past kept haunting me. But no matter what I said she still promised that she would wait. Well at least until I can find someone whom I can settle with.

Now I tried to play matchmaker between Ginny and Seamus. I know they have feelings for each other, but they tried to hide it fearing that I would not allow them. But with all my efforts in sweet talking them to date each other and trying set them up alone in the same room, have finally paid off. They have been dating now for almost a year.

Almost everyone around me has found someone they can settle with. Even my best friends are acting like love birds. Every time I see them I couldn't help to feel happy yet at the same time jealous for them.

They kept saying that I would find someone that I can settle with. But I know I won't. For the person I loved the most is with the person I trusted the most. And I am happy for them, even if it means for me to live my life in solitude.

But then all of these bitter feelings changed until I received a single letter.
