Character History:

You've read the books! You know what happens. Little boy loses parents, grows up in a cold, restrictive, neglectful environment. Boy finds out he's a Wizard, goes to school, makes friends. Finds out a sociopathic Dark Lord wants to kill him. Spends 7 years training to kill the Dark Lord first. Meets godfather, loses godfather. Makes friends with House Elves. Encounters huge snakes, Hippogriffs, giants and dragons. Falls in love, goes on a year long camping trip, finally defeats Dark Lord, but only after dying first. Harry says it's a very boring story so let's focus on what happens next.

After the Final Battle at Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and Neville (according to JKR, can edit if eventual Ron & Neville players want to change backstory) accepted Kingsley Shaklebolt's offer to join the Aurors and help round up Death Eaters. They did a sort of accelerated training and were partnered with Senior Aurors. As it turns out, it's probably a good thing Harry got this training, as there seemed to be a good amount of people out for his blood. And then there were the fangirls and reporters who stalked him. Without Stealth and evasion techniques, who knows what might have happened!

In his free time (what there is of it) Harry prefers quiet nights with friends, sometimes at a pub, to wild nights partying. He and Ginny got back together, but it didn't last. Harry wanted too much too soon, and Ginny...didn't. After catching her snogging another girl while out with some Auror mates, Harry gave up his dream of the "perfect" relationship. He finally admitted to himself that he wanted to be part of a family, and had grasped at Ginny as his best chance for that. It took awhile, but he and Ginny have finally come around to being friends again. Since then Harry hasn't dated much, mostly because that one time he asked a girl out, she tried to kill him in the loo. And then there was the bloke he went home with, who sold pictures of them making out to the Prophet. And we won't mention the girl with the twin sister and a toy chest under the bed, all right? That's just too horrifying.

Since then, he sticks pretty close to home when not working. It's not that he doesn't want to date, and have a normal life, he just can't. He's pretty content hanging out with Ron and Hermione, having Teddy over for sleepovers, and mediating disputes between Ron and Hermione. He also likes spending time with Neville, the two have become very close since the Final Battle. And he's a fixture at every Weasley gathering ever, so hopefully there will be lots so he's not always stuck in his little flat, or out hunting Dark Wizards.
