i don’t understand what people don’t understand about harry becoming an auror. he spent his whole adolescence not being able to trust the ministry to do their jobs properly and having no power to change things for the better. do you really think he’d just be able to kick back and live a normal life, putting his trust in the government after all he went through? do you think there are any lengths he wouldn’t go to to make sure his friends and family were safe? if you want things done right, do them yourself. did you all read the same books as me? because i’m pretty sure that the harry potter who i read about would never just stand back and watch other people run things when he could be directly involves in making positive changes for making the world a safer place.
#also he… *wanted* to be an auror#as in that is the job that he wanted for himself#he heard about them and immediately thought ‘yes that sounds like the job for me’#regardless of what he had been through or what was going to happen he just liked the sound of it#does that count for nothing?#he never expressed any desire to be a teacher#yes he was good at it in the DA but he was browbeaten into that position by ron and hermione#plus… there is a lot more to being a teacher than giving practical lessons#and harry never demonstrates any interest in any of that other stuff - essays and theory work and… you know… teaching in a classroom#it’s almost like he has an affinity for the practical side of defence against the dark arts#if only there was a job where he could put that practical ability to good use…………..
(via @theabsentear)He’s always been a doer, not a speaker - he’s got a saving people thing - he hates being stared at (unless he’s playing Quidditch) - he would want to actively help take down evil, not stand in a classroom every day. It’s so obvious to me, IDK.
