Tired of all the attention, after finishing his education, Harry James Potter, left the wizarding world and joined the Muggle University, Biology is fun, especially when you have an unexpected classmate.
1. Prologue
Harry POV
"Are you sure, about this?" Remus asked me for I thought the thousandth time.
"Yes Remus. I am tired of the attention, I have given my NEWTs and finished my magical study. I just need a break from all of this." I replied.
"Is it because of what happened with Ginny?" I felt a pang in my heart and I sighed. "It wasn't working Remus... It happened for the best, I suppose."
Remus looked at me sceptically. I looked back at him. We continued our glare contest until Tonks entered the room carrying a year old Teddy.
"Hawwy" the little kid said. I took him from Tonks and sat him in my lap as he played with my glasses.
"You can stay here as long as you like, Harry." Tonks said to me in hope that I'd stay. I adjusted Teddy on my lap.
"No Tonks, I am just tired of all the media and attention, and I have finished my education. I'll join the University. Take a while off, clear my head sort things out..." I trailed off.
"But you leaving is not a solution." Remus added.
I smiled at him, "Remus... Please."
"Fine." He conceded.
" manage the business and stuff while I am gone." I said referring to the Potter and Black enterprises.
He nodded.
"And... no one should know my location unless extremely important." I added.
"Not even Hermione?" Remus asked and I shook my head.
"That's not fair though, Malfoy knows."
"He is my business partner and been my side when others weren't." I said and added, "Hermione doesn't needs to choose again between me and Ron, last time she chose me but this time I doubt that and besides she deserves her happiness." Whatever happens Hermione will always be like a sister to me, no negative feelings towards her. But I was not ready to give away my secret to her, yet.
I stood up and started to leave.
"Bye Remus, Tonks... Tedd. I'll be back for Christmas, okay?"
Remus nodded and gave me a hug.
After final goodbyes, I left the Grimmauld Place.
It was after 6 hours drive I reached the Melchester University campus. It was sort of deja vu because, the campus was on the basis of a castle. Nothing magnificient as Hogwarts but inviting in its own way.
I went to the office to meet the Headmistress.
The office and the classes took place in the main building. The boys and the girls dorm were separate in newly built buildings.
I waited for about ten minutes and I was called in the office.
I entered to find the crisp and strict Headmistress I'd seen for two interviews for the University.
"Morning Mr. Potter." she said crisply.
"Morning Professor Thomas." I replied.
"Well, here is your i-card and other formalities papers, sign them and submit them in the office and collect your dorm number and locker number."
I nodded and with permission of the headmistress I left the office.
I completed the technicalities and formalities and went towards the dorm. Thankfully, we had our separate dorm rooms and hence, I got adjusted with a few spells.
Classes were to start from Monday and today was Friday, I had two days to explore the campus.
I strolled through the ground towards the basketball court and bumped into someone I'd never expected to be here,
"Potter." wide brown eyes said in surprise.
"Greengrass." I said.
