A/N: I am speeding up the timeline, so when the dark lord has been defeated its 2012 now. Harry's age is 18 and Teddy will be turning 1 in a future chapter .

Chapter 1

[Harry]

It has been 1 month since the fall of Voldemort and everyone is beginning to rebuild what was destroyed and the School is almost completely rebuilt. Many lives were lost and the funerals for all of them have just passed a week ago. The Ministry of Magic has dedicated a memorial wall in the main lobby of the department to list all the fallen wizards and witches of the light side.

It's been a long month of rebuilding and mourning the loss of friends and family. It really hit me hard when Remus died along with his wife. I am glad that Teddy wasn't with them, but with his Grandmother, Andromeda, when the battle broke out. Now that they have died I, godfather, Lord Harry Potter-Black has taken in little Teddy. He is a sweet little boy who, like his mother, is a metamorphmagus.

Life has not been easy. Ever since that day, more people have been giving their attention to me. I can't walk down Diagon Alley without people staring, praising, or asking for an autograph. This is why I am holed up in Grimmauld Place playing with Teddy instead of outside with the rest of the community.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Three sharp pounds on the door had me at attention. Only a few people knew I was here. It must be the Weasleys' or Hermione. I reach the door and peek outside, it's Hermione..

"Hello Hermione" I say as I move aside to let her in.

"Why are you always indoors Harry? You should be out in town or just not here" She says turning to look at me.

"I can't deal with it Hermione, its too much for me. You know how much I hate the attention."

"I know," she said with a resigned sigh.

"I have to tell you something Hermione, not sure how you'll feel about it" I say as I walk over to the sofa by the fireplace where I left Teddy to play with his stuffed dragon.

She looks to me and I continue before she says anything. "I have been thinking about leaving England for a little bit and I am not sure if I want to really come back and live here. I was thinking about going to New York for a change of scenery."

I look at her and her facial expression is not one I was expecting, she was actually smiling from ear to ear at me. I was kind of freaked out because she hasn't smiled like that since before the war. "What? Why are you smiling like that?" I ask very curiously.

"Oh Harry, I am so happy to hear you say that, I know you have been having a hard time adjusting to life after the war, so I came here today to give you a little gift," she reached into her extended beaded bag and pulled out an envelope addressed to me.

I took the envelope and stared at her before curiosity got the better of me and I tore it open. I stared down at my hands cause in the envelope were two first class tickets to any destination I would like to go with Teddy. I didn't know what to say so I rushed and squeezed the life out of Hermione trying to convey how grateful I am to have her as my friend. She just squeezed me back and at that moment Teddy decided to scream. I looked over at him and he just looked at us with raised arms wanting to join the hug. Hermione and I chuckled as we walked over to his playpen and scooped him up into our arms.

"So, when have you decided to leave?"

"I was thinking that since today is only Tuesday that I would take the time to pack and leave around Friday afternoon. It will give me time to say goodbye too."

"Well I shall take my leave and see you tomorrow at the Weasleys' for dinner," Hermione said as she reached the door.

"I wouldn't dream of missing it," I waved her off and with a pop she was gone.

A/N: Please Review and Follow. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. This has been changed from the earlier versions, but not by much just fixed some mistakes and kept it all in Harry's POV.
