On a whim, i have decided that this will be the last chapter. Read and Review!
Harry stood in the archway leading to Diagon Alley. Since Voldemort's death, it had started coming back to life. Shops were reopened, Ollivander returned from the influence of the Imperius Curse. The street was as crowded as ever, and a new energy gripped the air. Actually, a new energy had gripped the entire wizarding community. People were nicer, friendlier. Complete strangers stopped in the middle of the street to help each other. As Harry walked down the Alley, past windows now free of the Ministry's purple-lettered safety posters, he smiled - something he hadn't done in along time. People were finally starting to get it right. Well, he thought to himself, at least I accomplished something good. People were wishing each other "good day" left and right. As he turned to smile at a family of witches passing by, he knocked into a small, skinny wizard.
"Sorry sir," he apologized, picking himself up and offering a hand to the other wizard.
"Nothing to be sorry about, dear boy!" he said cheerfully. " No harm done!" Standing now, he stretched out his hand. "Dan Moonwolf," he introduced himself.
Harry groaned inwardly. He knew what was to inevitably follow.
"Harry Potter," he said, taking Dan's hand.
Dan's eyes widened in shock.
"H-Harry P-Potter?" He took off his hat and sank into a small bow. "An honor, Mr. Potter, a rare and true honor!" An emabarrased Harry nodded to the man and turned to go, only to find the whole street full of people staring at him. All of a sudden, they started to clap. One by one, the people on the street put their hands together and applauded. This was to much for Harry, who pushed his way back to the brick archway and ducked into the Leaky Cauldron.
Sept. 12
Dear Ron and Hermione,
I have found myself a comfortable job as an assistant at Flourish and Blotts. The manager is a nice man, who provides me with room and board. I cannot go across the street for an ice cream without being bowed to and applauded, and you both know how much I hate that. But, I guess it's time I come to terms with the fact that I'm always going to stand out. Hopefully, after life returns to normal, people willl start to calm down and I won't be as legendary as I am now.I still consider becoming an Auror sometimes, but I suppose the thrill will be gone and it'll be rather boring now that even Bellatrix Lestrange has been caught. (Yes, I read it in the newspaper and had myself a little celebration.) However, until I figure out what I'm going to do, I have been assured a spot right here. You know, teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts sounds appealing. I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but I think I am in a great position to teach it. I just hope that now that Voldemort's gone I the job is no longer jinxed. But enough about that. How are you guys? I miss you. This might not make any sense, but with all this popularity and attention, it's gets kind of lonely.
I heard about Lupin and Tonks engagement and I'm so happy for them. I guess I'll be seeing you at the wedding. Or before that even. You know I'm not hiding or anything. You could come visit m if it's not too much trouble. Anyway, Ron, say hello to your family for me.
Love,
Harry
