Chapter one
The first few months after the battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world were slowly realising their world was safe, so shops were being repaired and opened, shoppers were once again seen in Diagon Alley. The new minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt with the help of the order of the phoenix and other honest people were cleaning out the ministry of any supporters of Voldemort. Everyone knew that Hogwarts would take a long time to repair, enough to take students again, but they were slowly working on the old castle. The Minister, the Headmistress and the newly formed Governors had decided that all seventeen year olds and over that fought in the battle of Hogwarts did not require to sit for their N.E.W.T.s and could apply for any job they wanted, and because these young people were classed as hero's, they would get the job they wanted. Then it would be up to them to show they could do the job.
People like Hermione Granger wanted to rest for a while, then go find her parents before she applied for a job, so Minister Shacklebolt gave her a letter to use when that time came. Ron Weasley decided that even though he did want to be an auror, he was going to help his brother George with the shop.
Harry Potter still wanted to be an auror, but not straight away, all he wanted to do was rest. It was the first time since the age of eleven he didn't have to worry about Voldemort and he never realised how tense he had been. The first few weeks after the fighting, Harry startled easily, jumped at sudden noises and sometimes even sent spells flying. After the first time where he had stunned Ron, Harry only used simple stinging hexes so he wouldn't hurt anyone. So he decided the best thing for him was to take his time until his mind and heart believed it was truly over.
The Weasley family stayed with Muriel for a couple of weeks after the fighting until after Fred's funeral. Harry visited, but never stayed either at Muriel's or the Burrow. Molly Weasley tried everything she could to get Harry to stay, but all Harry said was he liked his space and liked the idea of being alone, that he was going to buy his own place, which he did, a house in Godric's Hollow. He spent the first few weeks shopping for furniture and even though he wasn't sure what to buy or how to decorate, he mainly bought things he liked, whether they matched or not. After setting up his kitchen and getting basic furniture like sofa's, beds and all the linen, he moved in. Not long after moving into his home, he did organise to have his parent's house repaired even if he was never going to live there or allow anyone else to live there. Harry just wanted to be able to go in sometimes because it was going to be the only way he would ever get to know his parents.
Harry had finally gone into Sirius's vault and he only did that to place items in there that he took from number 12 Grimmauld place. Harry had given that house to the aurors to use as a safe house and said since he knew Sirius hated the place and Harry himself hated it, he would never live there or use it again. Harry had found a couple of letters in the vault addressed to him; he could only assume they were from Sirius. While Harry was at Gringotts, he found out exactly how much the Blacks were worth and exactly how much his parents had left him. After realising that if he was to die, his only living relatives, the Dursley's would get everything, so Harry organised a will. Because of the way he was treated now, like a celebrity, Harry also spoke to the woman in the legal department about protecting his assets but also he wanted this for his own peace of mind. He was explained about legal documents he could have made up so if he ever go into a serious relationship, whether living with someone or married, he's parents and Sirius's money and belongings would always remain his. So if he separated or divorced he could organise how much to give, that gave Harry peace of mind knowing he would always obtain everything Sirius's and his parents owned.
Even though Harry didn't want to live with the Weasley's, he did spend a lot of time at the Burrow. He also helped out financially until Arthur Weasley could return to work, since he had been in hiding for months before the battle; they didn't had much money left. Harry also helped Hermione out by giving her enough money to see her and Ron through while they went to Australia to find the Grangers. The first time Harry went to Gringotts, the goblins weren't happy and weren't going to let him in. But after a lot of arguments between Harry and the goblins and arguments of other people that had overheard the goblins saying Harry couldn't go to his vault, the goblins relented because they realised the magical world thought of Harry Potter as a hero and would support him and not the goblins and they might lose all their customers. They were also concerned that if they did turn Harry Potter away that the ministry might decide to take care of everyone's money themselves.
It was a couple of months before Ginny approached Harry about them resuming their relationship, which is something Harry had been thinking about. So the young couple finally got back together much to Ron's annoyance as he had to watch his little sister snog his best mate. Harry liked Ginny a lot, but this time when they dated something was different and he wasn't sure what and didn't know who to talk to about his feelings. He had no parents, no close uncles or cousin's, no family apart from the Dursley's and Harry was determined to never see them again. Since the time he was eleven, he never really thought about personal things before, and not once did sex ever enter his mind. Now though, Ginny seemed to kiss him differently and times when they were lying together either in her room or down at the pond, they were pressed right up against each other. Even with Ginny's hot and passionate kissed, Harry never got excited and that worried him wondering if something might have been wrong and thought if he should speak with a healer. But the moment Harry thought about this, he's face heated up and he felt his whole body flush with embarrassment. Harry did get on well with Bill and Charlie Weasley, so he started to think about talking to them, but since he was dating their little sister and this was about erections, Harry wasn't sure how they would take it.
One day after visiting Ginny at the Burrow, again with nothing happening when Ginny rubbed her body up against him, Harry decided it was time to speak with someone, so he apparated to Hogwarts. Since Hogwarts was still damaged, there were no enchantments around the castle apart from the ones to deter muggles; they would still see a damaged castle even if now it was damaged for real. He thought Madam Pomfrey had treated him for years and he was comfortable with her and she was a healer, he would see her, so Harry just needed to get over his embarrassment and tell her what was going on.
Harry slowly walked inside the castle, saying hello to some of the staff, but also to other students and their parents who had turned up to help. Harry had told Professor McGonagall that he would hang around to help with the repairs, but she adamantly refused, telling Harry he had done enough and it was time for him to rest and relax.
Harry stepped into the damaged hospital wing and saw Madam Pomfrey, another healer and some students all helping repairing the walls. He took a couple of deep breathes before stepping over to her ready to explain his problem, a problem of not being able to get a hard on. Of course Harry wasn't going to say those words to her, that would be worse, but no matter what he said, he knew he was about to be very embarrassed.
