( KEYWORDS ) :
kind - At first stance, people will speak highly of Harry. Not only due to the fact that he, well, saved the country, but generally, people without bias (such as Slytherins and Voldemort’s followers) think of him as a nice sort of fellow. Upon meeting him, most teachers said he was engaging. And if it hadn’t been for Dudley’s shadow growing up, he would have had a lot of friends, which is something that’s not difficult for him.
selfless - He’s kind, usually modest, reliable, helpful, extremely loyal; and these are all things people are able to see from the start. Then, when you’ve become his friend, you’ll get to experience how much he loves them and is willing to sacrifice for them. Hell, he’ll even sacrifice himself for complete strangers. He’ll defend those in need and is not afraid to stand up for what he believes.
stubborn - But if you’re close to him, you’ll also get to see just how stubborn he can be, at times tactless, though unintentionally, and sometimes even a bit arrogant. You’ll know that he appreciates sarcasm and that his temper can get the better of him more easily than not. He has a clear tendency to be impulsive and not think things through carefully, but luckily, he’s able to think fast and manage his way out of the most precarious situation.
loving - But despite all these things, Harry is someone you’d want to have a friend. He didn’t grow up loved, but he’s very capable of it. He’s grateful to the people who’ve been there for him. He’s giving, aware that he’s been blessed economically, often trying to help out where he can in that regard.
determined - And really hard to kill. He's The Boy Who Lived.

( HAIR ) : Harry's hair isn't exactly what he would like. It's too out of control and has a life of its own. Seriously, if he dares cut it, it grows back within hours. It's black like charcoal and sticks up in every direction, just like his father's did. But Harry does have to thankful for the fact that it covers his scar and allows him, at least in some places, a certain degree of anonimity.
( EYES ) : Deep green, just like his mothers. It's what everyone says. This fact now reminds him of Severus Snape's death, which isn't exactly pleasant, but he lives with it. His eyes aren't very helpful with concealing Harry's emotion, so he's not exactly upset about having to wear those round glasses. Yes, his eyesight could do with some fixing, but Harry doesn't want it. So long as it doesn't prevent him doing his job, all is well.
( FACIAL STRUCTURE ) : There's nothing outstanding about Harry's features. Thin nose, thin lips, oval-shaped face. His messy hair, lighting-bolt-shaped scar on the forehead and bright green eyes are pretty conspicuous on their own; no one's looking at Harry's nose.
( BODY STRUCTURE ) : He's always been very short, very pale and very skinny. He was an easy target for Dudley's friends as a kid. Puberty didn't seem to do much for him either, but he did startb seeing some changes after he began playing Quidditch. Auror training was the best thing for him, though. Harry's in the best shape he's ever been, his back is a bit broader and while he's still not very tall, he doesn't have to worry about his weight as he isn't so skinny anymore, but developed a better build.
( ATTIRE ) : Nothing that stands out. When not wearing auror robes, Harry stays in jeans and t-shirts to move about London. Not only to blend in with the muggles, but also with any crowd.
( SUMMARY ) : You could say he's good looking. The writers at Witch Weekly think so. a lot of the girls who send him love letters and hate mail to Ginny think so too. Harry just prefers to not be seen, unless he has to. This was difficult with the part of his training that had to do with concealment. Harry dresses for the occasion, is content with his glasses and many years ago gave up on trying to change his hair. He's not the scrawny little kid he used to be and he likes the way he looks now.
( PLAY-BY ) : Daniel Radcliffe.

( PARENTS ) : Jame and Lily Potter. Members of the Order of the Phoenix. Deceased.
( SIBLINGS ) : None.
( OTHERS ) : If you count the Weasley, which I do, this could take a while.
( HISTORY ) : The days following the defeat of Voldemort are somewhat of a blur to Harry. The weeks following, actually. The first thing he did after speaking to Dumbledore’s portrait was sneak into the Gryffindor common room and sleep for almost twenty-three hours. Alone, as far as he was concerned, and very much detached from the world for as long as the slumber lasted. It was Kreacher who, not so ceremoniously, apparated into the boys dorms with a plate of food, to remind the boy just how hungry he was, which Harry was thankful for.

After that, he would spend the next couple of days at Hogwarts with the remaining Order members fixing the castle, doing a body count and being aware of the news from outside and learning of the plans Kingsley and the others made for the future of Wizarding England. Then to the Burrow it was. While Hermione proceeded to fetch her parents in Australia, Harry stayed with the Weasleys to mourn the death of their friends and, for the family, especially Fred’s. It may have been one of the few times the entire family was home. He doesn’t remember much from those days except going to one funeral after another; he remembers holding his godson Teddy for the first time at Remus and Tonks'. He almost didn't go to Colin Creevy's since by then, everyone was so emotionally exhausted from hearing euologies and trying to keep George from sinking. But how could he not?

Then there was the amount of owls he kept receiving from all over. It got to a point, on the day of his birthday, where he, along with Arthur, Ron and the rest of his brothers, had to conjure up fireworks just to keep the birds at bay in order to enjoy their small, half-hearted celebration. Journalists requested interviews, prominent members of Wizarding society wanted to meet him, regular witches and wizards wanted to thank him.

The entire population of Britain waited to see how the world continued to develop over the course of the year. Hogwarts was rebuilt almost to its full previous splendor. Its doors reopened just in time for a new term, despite changes still being made as it began. The ministry took longer to get back in shape; people were fired, trials were being held daily, entire departments were redone. One of the few times Harry got to see Kingsley during these busy times was shortly after his birthday, when he came to the Burrow to talk to the trio and offer them jobs under his new reign. While Hermione not so surprisingly postponed accepting the offer in order to go back to Hogwarts and graduate, Harry enthusiastically accepted to be a part of the auror training program and fulfill the dream that, then more than ever, he knew he was destined for.

And so, with the summer almost over, he decided to make use of his inheritance and move to London. Number 12, Grimmauld Place wouldn’t look as it does today without the wonderful help of Mrs. Weasley, for which Harry is now able to call it his home, despite one day having hated the huge house. It’s too big, but it’s all his and, even better, it’s still unplottable. It keeps nosy reporters from knocking on his door. And they still seek him despite him having answered all (important) questions four months after the end of the war. Rita Skeeter had been quick to publish a book on his life that made absolutely no difference to Harry and the names of certain members of the Order were being cleared in the papers, to the skepticism of many, while other members of society were being exposed as Death Eaters through the same means. The papers got the facts mostly wrong and this fact slowly, but surely got to Harry. So, in the end, he decided to finally sit down with one reporter of his choosing and give out and exclusive, quite comprehensive and quite lengthy interview that was transcribed for every wizarding publication in the country as well as broadcasted in the Wizarding Wireless Network, in which Harry was able to, under his terms, tell how things really went down (minus the details he deemed the world didn’t need to know). He cleared both Sirius’ and Snape’s names and talked about the Death Eaters the Order and the Ministry hadn’t yet been able to capture, as well as the ones who were at the time undergoing investigation. After that, the owls diminished considerably, though not entirely.

By the time he began auror training, Harry was starting to adjust to a normal life, people slowly started to leave him alone more and more and he was able to devote his time to becoming an auror just like any wizard his age would do. He visited Ginny on Hogsmeade weekends and ate at the Burrow on all the others. His first year of training came to an end and Harry is so far doing splendidly, minus at times having to fight expectations, preconceived notions and his own flaws.

He just turned twenty. He sees Ginny more now that she’s graduated from school, although not as much they would like due to their chedules; pressure is tough, but they've tried to work it out. For a while everything seemed to be taking a turn in the right direction for him. For a while at least. It's been over a year since he defeated Voldemort on the 2nd of May and they still haven’t caught all who need to be incarcerated.

( ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE ) :
Luke took the file and the records as they were handed to him. His brow creased as the officer told the story and every now and then he lifted his eyes to steal a glance at the small figure on the other side of the glass. It was certainly unnerving. He’d been wrong earlier that night to think he was done being disturbed. Even after years of hearing the most sadistic of stories first hand from their protagonists, human nature remained fascinating to him. As he listened to the tale, however, his mind raced. There was a pretty good chance the girl was in fact innocent. There plenty of maniacs out there, he knew this well, who could have done something so vile without real purpose and disappeared, unknowingly leaving the daughter of the family the only survivor. Then again, he had to review the file meticulously because that theory wouldn’t necessarily explain the other killings. The asylum staff would certainly have a lot to say. In the meantime, she was here and apparently all there, so a trial was definitely in order. If all evidence had been destroyed, well, this girl had just made Luke’s job a little easier and the D.A.’s more of a pain in the ass.

"Right now she's giving us this innocent act but I can see right through it. You know a good few nights of lock up will get her out of that."

It was probably true, Luke secretly agreed. This young and with no one to call, he didn’t expect her true colors to stay hidden for long. This whole amnesia thing had been a smart move on her part if she was indeed guilty. An asylum wasn’t that different from juvenile hall but the care was still better. Luke really hoped she wasn’t planning on keeping the act up with him, though. If he couldn’t know the truth, then what was the point?

"She's a bit forgetful so just be wary of that."

“Right,” muttered Luke as he was led into the room. For a brief moment, though, he paused. It was one thing to claim to have lost all long term memory, it was another to pretend to keep forgetting stuff. Guilty or not, she was going to need a new strategy. But choosing to say nothing quite yet, he continued and stepped in the room as a paper plane landed smoothly at his feet.

The girl lifted an eyebrow at him. “He looks expensive.”

She seemed fine. Quite unlike the picture he’d been shown only a minute ago.

“He is,” Luke replied. He had already established, anyway, that right after a brief exchange with the girl, he would pass her on to someone who was willing to sustain that she was either a) crazy or b) innocent, which Luke didn’t think left any other possible, more interesting, options open.

The cops left. Luke lingered in his spot for a second, still assessing the girl, before finally moving toward the table and taking the sole chair opposite her. He opened the file and spread its contents somewhat. Then he looked at her. No, the eyes of the person in front of him did not resemble those of the characters he’d seen locked up in strait jackets.

Maybe there’d be no need to call another attorney. Maybe she wouldn’t have to worry about him being expensive. Maybe.

“Phay,” he began, “I’m Luke Pratt, criminal attorney. Do you know why I’m here?” he continued after a pause. His eyes rested on her.
