Seventeen days after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter packs up all of his belongings and moves into Grimmauld Place.
It feels like the right thing to do.
Which is why, three months later, when Robards approaches him with a job offer to be a Junior Auror, he accepts. Because hunting down dark wizards and ex-Death Eaters seems right, correct— expected of him. Just like bringing Ginny back to Grimmauld to celebrate his new job and new house and new aliveness is right.
When Ginny breaks up with him six months later, he simply smiles and says of course we can still be friends— because it’s the right thing to do.
A month after that, while he is lying in bed— alone, unable to sleep and questioning how exactly he ended up here— he decides to clean out Grimmauld.
