“Chiara, I hate thinking of anyone as my enemy! The wizarding world has been incredibly welcoming. People have been so kind. But it’s hard to explain the value of privacy to those who already have it. Sometimes I think I would give everything I own to be anonymous again.”
While Mr Potter drifts into silence, this reporter remembers reading multiple interviews wherein Mr Potter explained the role his friends, the Weasley family, the DA, Dumbledore himself, the Order, and so many others played in winning the war.
“How do the two of you manage constantly being alone? Is it isolating?”

“When we’re alone, in my house, for example, it can be a little isolating, but…” Mr Potter’s face lights as if from within.
“He takes care of me, Chiara. He’s fun. We watch telly. We play silly games, like Exploding Snap. He’s trying to teach me to play chess, but I’m honestly terrible at it, so far.”
At this admission, Mr Potter’s smile is both self-deprecating and suffused with love. This reporter is forced to take a moment to regroup.
“As for me, I’m teaching him to cook, which is a lot of fun, I hope for him as well.”

“What could you two do with anonymity?”
“If we could go outside together, be left alone... if we could walk around Hogsmeade or Diagon holding hands, doing really normal things, you know? Like shop, have an ice cream, eat at a restaurant… I think it would be good for us. I know it would be really good for me.”
Mr Potter pauses.
“I know people care about me, want to thank me. I’m grateful for the love. But I feel like I’m in a phase of my life where that could, er, best be expressed by, letting me be normal?”
