When an Auror approaches Harry and Neville and shows them a way out of a perilous situation at the end of the war with Voldemort, they accept his help with some trepidation.

While Harry and Neville deal with their new "job", Ron and Hermione have to learn to live and love in a strange new post war world. There is swearing and some violence. Very little sexual content.
