Future Harry was satisfied, he avoided many deaths from happening, however, this is the point where things should change for real, his friends, especially the female ones deserve better, from today onwards second stage of his plan is about to unfold.

It’s been a month since Voldemort’s destruction and things have been pretty decent, to be honest, Harry’s collaboration with the ministry and the forced use of veritaserum on the employees was approved, yes, some might say that this is bad because it could be seen as a totalitarian move.

However, the complaints of a few wizards were disregarded, the most important thing was cleaning the ministry and without any hint of surprise, those who complained about the use of veritaserum turned out to be supporters of the dark lord or distant collaborators of his followers.

Many escaped to avoid being fed the truth serum, but this gave the ministry and the Aurors complete control to do as they pleased. The ministry was completely cleaned and most death eaters have fled, been killed, or captured, the panorama looked good.

“…And you see, I was thinking that maybe we should start a family to fix our relationship,” the older Harry heard Tonks say with a worried tone.

To be fair future Harry was not on very good terms with Remus because he died twenty years before he made the travel back in time, in fact, the only reason why he didn’t let him die this time was because of his parents but aside from that, he doesn’t feel like a friend or if he were his unofficial nephew even though the man was his mother’s best friend, or at least that’s what he always said.

After the war, he tried to find out more about Remus' life and all the people who knew him came to the same conclusion, this man was far from gone, he had all the potential to do great things but his condition and inferiority complex stopped him and now, it was happening again, the best thing that could happen in his life was at risk of dying.

However, the victim of this situation was Tonks, not him, Harry was sure that Remus was just looking for an excuse to escape, it was hard to live like a werewolf of course, there are instincts you can’t ignore, the wildness calls you even when there’s no full moon.

That’s why the man has lived like a nomad since his parents died, and now his wife was hurting because of his decisions, Harry needed to be honest to stop Tonks before she did something stupid.

“Tonks, I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Harry said with a serious tone.

They were in Greece, this beach town was so beautiful, the houses looked to be made of marble as they were completely white but it could be just the painting, regardless of that, the view was beautiful.

They came to bring back Hermione’s parents before the new term started, it was funny, during his lifetime at this point they were already running away and now they were ready for their last year at Hogwarts, the happiest one about this situation was Hermione while Harry and Ron were disappointed that they wouldn’t have an adventure.

However, after hearing how awful the future Harry and his friends had it with Ron being angry most of the time and complaining about their living conditions, it made Harry and Ron see that this was for the best. Tonks suddenly glared at him, it was clear this wasn’t what she wanted to hear.

“Tonks, a son or a daughter is not going to solve your relationship, listen to me,” Harry suddenly placed his hands on her shoulders.

The metamorph couldn’t help but blush at the sight of his green eyes looking straight into her blue ones, she didn’t know why but she felt at ease when she was with him, she had tried to avoid these thoughts since she met him but she couldn’t deny the attraction she felt towards him.

Combined with the fact that her husband spends most of his time feeling sorry for himself for being the last of his group of friends that are still alive and the fact that he’s a werewolf, well, it was easy for her to feel ignored and future Harry was providing her with the attention she craved from her husband, still, she wasn’t going to cheat on him, she wanted to save their marriage and a son or a daughter was the best thing she could think of to achieve that.

“Yes, at first he’s going to be excited and I’m sure he’s going to enjoy the process, he would be an idiot if he didn’t,” he winked at her and she giggled. “But once the happy state is over, you two are going to end up resenting each other, and worst of all, your son or daughter who hasn't done anything wrong is going to receive some of it too,” Harry’s words were crude but real at the same time.

Tonks couldn’t help but feel awed at the man in front of her, she indeed dated Remus thinking he was mature but the Harry from the future was clearly far beyond him even though technically he and Remus were at the same age.

“Harry…Would you date someone like me?” Asked Tonks out of nowhere.

Harry was taken aback by her question but he quickly recovered.

“No,” he said bluntly and Tonks felt a little disappointed for some reason, she was married that’s true but a woman likes to feel desired even if she’s not going to act on those desires. “Well, at least not if you’re still married, now let’s suppose in a distant future the stars align and we're single, I wouldn’t mind dating you,” He added trying to ease her worries.

Tonks couldn’t help but blush, his warm smile was enough to make her feel some interesting things that she hadn’t been able to feel with Remus lately due to his lack of interest and also because it was a symptom of how bad their relationship was these days.

“Do you think we should separate? I mean, you come from the future and—” She was suddenly stopped.

“I’m sorry Tonks but I can't say much about your marriage because you two died in the battle of Hogwarts that was supposed to happen next year,” his words made her gulp. “However, I think you two should talk and see what you want in your life, tell me, what do you desire Tonks?” Harry asked showing interest in her and that made her blush.

“I want to travel around the world, I want a family, I want to feel desired, you know?” Harry nodded all the time. “It’s just…I don’t think that is going to happen if I stay with him,” she couldn’t help but sigh.

“Then you know what to do, I’ll be there if you need someone to rely on if you decide to end things, I think Sirius would love it if I helped his favorite cousin during such a difficult time,” Harry added and she couldn’t help but shily nod.

Soon they got close to a certain house, they knocked and waited for a few seconds until the door was opened by a couple that was wearing bathrobes, they looked annoyed until they realized who was behind the door.

“Oh, Harry!” Said the husband and wife at the same time.

“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Granger, this is Tonks and we came here for you, it’s over, you can come back to your normal lives with Hermione!” Harry said with a smile on his face.

They fakely celebrated, it’s clear that they enjoyed their short vacations but in the end, they couldn’t help but nod and accept that their break was over, it was time to have their normal lives back.
