Hey guys, I'm back with a new story I hope you like it, please check out the end for update information!

Harry Potter has a nice life, it's been almost thirty years since he defeated the strongest wizard in fifty years, and even if his life didn't turn out to be the way it was supposed to be, he was more than satisfied with the way his life is right now.

After the war ended, he traveled across the world trying to cure some of the scars that Voldemort caused around many innocent people, he tried to regain the trust of those forgotten magical communities, he was like an ambassador, if the world wanted to avoid creating another Voldemort, then getting closer as a community seemed like a good idea.

He didn't even finish his studies at Hogwarts but he still got his diploma, after all, that's only given to those who do something extraordinary, and saving the world was one of them, after those days as an ambassador, Harry enrolled into the Auror forces, he thought that was the perfect job for him.

On his job he had many struggles, the first one was the training, he thought it was going to be easy considering what he learned during the war but he couldn't be more wrong, not only he was given wizard soldier training but he also trained like a muggle army soldier.

The reason for that is because many times they have to infiltrate amongst muggles and they need to pass like one of them because sometimes they do undercover operations with them, so they need to get used to magicless operations with their wands long gone.

But that did wonders to Harry's body, and he tried to keep it muscular as much as he could, even if he's in his mid-forties right now he still maintains the same body from back then.

His first years in the Auror forces were fun for him, he participated in many operations to catch the remaining Voldemort followers that were still alive, and those operations continued for so many years, but once Harry reached his thirties, those operations were ceased and life became more boring.

Yes, there was peace but not so many interesting things happened for someone like Harry who had a great amount of training due to that missions became too easy, and as for his personal life, well, he was so focused on hunting those bastards that he didn't pay too much attention to that part of his life.

He dated Ginny for ten years, but it came to a point at which she wanted to start a family and Harry was less and less time at home, they had to part ways and thankfully it was a peaceful breakup even if Ginny's mom made a tantrum.

After that he dated different women, he dated Narcissa for a few years but they decided to put an end to it due to her son, Harry didn't care too much about him but he knew the older woman was too attached to him, after all, it was her son, so he knew he had nothing to offer against that, so they parted ways, they had sex from time to time though.

A few years later he dated Gabrielle Delacour, it was a fun experience for Harry it was the first time he dated someone a few years younger than him, she was like a princess, and that caused many men to hate him for dating such a beauty.

The problem with Gabrielle was her constant jealous moments, it didn't matter how much Harry tried to convince her that he loved her she still felt insecure about it, and eventually that led up to their breakup.

After that experience, Harry decided to remain alone for some time, and that time extended until he reached his forties when he finally decided to retire, during that gap between his last relationship and his retirement, the older man was still having fun with different women, some of them older some of them younger.

After all, it wasn't difficult for him to get someone in his bed, just the mention of his name was enough to get him a bunch of girls ready to spend time with him, and the last time he had sex was with a muggle fangirl twenty years younger than him.

After his retirement, Harry decided to finally publish his real biography to break some myths from his childhood, even so, his editor told him that his biography could be arranged into some fantastic novel format, his editor worked in the muggle publishing world too so, he decided to reach with a publisher to get Harry Potter's life adapted into seven fantasy books that are a complete success, they are currently in the third book right now and thanks to that, Harry became richer than he already was, it seems like karma was finally working in his favor.

And now, Harry is in his luxury flat in the wealthy part of Hogsmeade, he's in the living room holding a glass of wine while he contemplates his life, the wrongs, the rights, the successes, the failures, and the many amazing moments he has lived alongside all the people he has met through his life.

- Forty-five years… It's been a good life till now, I don't know if this could get better – Harry smiled before he sipped a bit of his drink.

And suddenly he did something that would've been unthinkable a few years ago, he took and turned on a small muggle artifact… His cellphone and he knows he's probably doing something illegal.

But somehow Harry managed to find a way to make electronics work thanks to Hermione's investigations about static magic and a magic magnet that he crafted after too many experiments.

It doesn't matter how much he loves magic, due to his muggle upbringing there are some things he can't help but miss, one of them being videogames, he can't have a console but at least he can play with his cellphone, however his decision to take his phone doesn't have anything to do with games, he's looking at his contact list.

- Okay, editor, manager… Meghan twenty, Sally nineteen… Here it is… Astrid eighteen… Maybe visiting the muggle world right now is a good idea – Harry said with a smile on his face as he thought about a blue-eyed, blonde girl from Sweden – I need to stop getting numbers from my fans… This is going to get me canceled one day – Harry sighed – Well I'll care about the consequences later, time to visit the muggle world – Harry got on his feet and picked up his coat, it was a cold winter after all.

He was thinking about his plan and he was about to open his door, but suddenly someone knocked violently on his door, he picked up his wand as the Auror instincts kicked in, he moved slowly towards the door and took a look at the peephole, his eyes widened at the sight outside of his door and quickly opened his door.

There he found a beautiful auburn-haired girl dressed in a tight red dress that ends above her knees, her petite but nicely formed figure is accentuated by this dress, also, sustaining her body, a pair of black high heels.

Now, in normal circumstances when Harry finds a beautiful girl like her (A situation that happens too much during the promotions of his new book releases) that would usually be an amazing opportunity for him, the problem here is that this girl is someone he has known for a long time.

- Rose! What are you—Harry was about to ask but suddenly the girl hugged him.

That caught the older man by surprise but it didn't take too long for him to hug her back as he closed the door, suddenly the girl started sobbing and he tried to comfort her as he moved their bodies into a couch near them, Harry decided to not say anything and to just let her release all her emotions and hard feelings she has been clearly holding.

He has no idea what's happening, it's been a long time since he has seen his friends, and due to his constant trips to the muggle world to promote his books, he barely has time for any other things than his work and the girls he fucks.

But right now that didn't matter, his best friends' daughter clearly was having some problems so, if he could help her with something he wasn't going to deny her anything, they aren't that close ever since she started Hogwarts but that doesn't mean he was going to abandon her.

A few minutes passed until she cried her heart out, suddenly she looked at him and he smiled at her, he wiped her tears and she smiled sadly at him.

- It's okay Rosie, I'm here for you – He said in a calm tone and she nodded.

They remained in silence for a few moments before she finally calmed and now after they separated, Rose was sitting on one side of the couch while Harry was bringing two glasses of wine, Rose smiled at him when he handled her glass, and she suddenly crossed her legs surprising Harry who tried to stop himself from thinking what he was about to think.

- That's good – Rose said after she took a sip of the beverage.

- So… Rose, what brings you tonight to my humble home? – Asked Harry with a raised brow, he couldn't stop staring at the younger girl's legs.

Rose stared at her glass for a few seconds, she closed her eyes before sighing and looking at Harry once again.

- There are a lot of problems at home Harry – She finally confessed – Our family is on the verge of bankruptcy – Confessed Rose shocking Harry completely.

- What? That can't be true, I mean, Hermione has a good job at the ministry and Ron still holds right to the store he owns with George, right? – Harry shockingly took a sip of his drink, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

- Well, yes, Mum has a good job as a minister, but she's an honest person, Harry, politics don't pay too much unless you become corrupt, if you've never heard about a politician in poverty it's time for you to meet my mom – Rose smiled weakly at her attempt of a joke – After he retired from the Auror forces, dad has tried to build his own business, you know him, sometimes he's too proud to admit when he's wrong and let's say that attitude led him to fight with uncle George and that involved the blaming of uncle Fred's death – Rose confessed and now it was the time for the dark-haired wizard to swallow more of his drink.

He remained in silence for a few moments, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, Ron indeed had to retire earlier than him, a near-death mission left him in the hospital for months, they were raiding a place that some maniacs were using to develop a magical version of muggle weapons, especially chemical weapons, it seems like those fools were trying to recreate the level of destruction of an atomic bomb and on the way for that they created a lot of dangerous potions.

Sadly the fight against those mad potion fanatics broke many glasses and it created a cocktail of smells, the experts at the ministry had to come as fast as they could to clean the area before it expanded to the nearby towns, sadly, Ron managed to breathe some of that potion cocktail, but that was enough to be a problem.

That stuff made him weak and it seems like it was draining his magic reserves he had to be put in intensive care before his magic core was destroyed, and the treatment lasted for almost a year, but in the end, it wasn't enough, Ron couldn't adapt to the working environment once again so he had to retire earlier than Harry.

He knew his friend always wanted to make a name of his own and he always tried to support him as much as he could to encourage him to not stop, and every time he visited him it seemed like things were right according to him.

- So, he lied then – Harry said before sighing, Rose looked at him strangely – Every time I visited him, he always said that everything was fine, he always rejected my help – Harry said with a serious tone.

He was seriously disappointed with his friend, it doesn't matter how much time passes, it seems like he was still the same proud person he has always been, if only he knew earlier, I could've helped him if he asked, but it seems like the man was more eager to ruin his family than to ruin his pride.

- I can't believe him… He could've reached me and we could've started something together – Harry was annoyed at his friend.

- It's useless Harry… He doesn't even want me nor my grandparents' help – Rose confessed with a sad expression.

Harry quickly reached her to hold her once again in case she decided to release all those hard emotions once again, but she decided to be strong.

- That's why I came here tonight Harry – She finally confessed trying to hold her tears as much as she could.

- And you did well by doing that, you can always count on me… But it's going to be difficult to help him, he's too prideful – Harry sighed.

- I have an idea Harry – Rose confessed – If you give me a loan I could pay it all in his name, after all, I'm one of the persons that's on the list to pay in case something happens to him – Rose said with a serious expression.

Harry remained in silence for a few moments, he didn't know if this was the right thing to do, it seems easy but Ron would never learn a lesson if they solve this problem too easily for him.

- Look, Harry… I'm not asking you to just give me the money and also, we need to tell my family eventually that you're giving me money – Rose said with a calm expression – Why don't you give me a job? I mean someone like you surely needs someone like an assistant to take care of many of his necessities – Rose said with a smile on her face.

- That doesn't sound bad… But are you sure you have what it takes to be my assistant? I'm a very complex man with complex necessities – Harry confessed with a smile on his face.

Rose didn't say anything, she just remained in silence for a few moments before she placed her glass on the little table nearby them, she walked slowly towards where Harry was, she was in front of him while he was sitting looking at her with a surprised expression, but of all the things he expected her to do, using her wand to make her clothes disappear was the last one of them.
