Murder on the Hogwarts Express
Chapter 1
Prologue
Set in early 2000, in the office of the Minister of Magic.
"Kinglsey!" Roars a furious, panicking Arthur Weasley as he barged past the minister's secretary desk and through the brown door into Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt's office.
"Arthur, calm down. What can I do for you?" Asks Kingsley as he stands from his seat letting the files he was examining lay abandoned on the light-brown, mahogany desk.
Arthur's panicking face rises up to Kingsley's as he says, "Death Eaters! The Lestrange brothers have escaped Azkaban! The guards have no idea how. I immediately sent three of my best Aurors out to check it out as soon as I heard the news!"
"Good, now we wait." Replies Kinglsey, calmly.
"Mister Shacklebolt! Mister Shacklebolt! There are three Aurors demanding to see you and Mister Weasley, they say they have a report for the both of you," yells Miss Clearwater, Kinglsey's secretary from the other side of the door.
"Let them in, Penelope," Kinglsey replies before three Aurors barged through the door, visibly exhausted.
"Auror Robards, report, please!"
"The Lestrange brothers are out. So is Antonin Dolohov. We believe they broke him out as well."
"Shit!"
"Arthur!"
"Sorry, Kingsley. What shall we do?"
"The public must be informed, these men are dangerous," says Kingsley, grimacing, "Penelope! Schedule a press release! Arthur, I want more Aurors out at Azkaban! We can't risk anymore escapes. Go!"
"Yes, Kingsley!" Yells the secretary and the Head of the DMLE as they scramble out of the office, the three Aurors right behind them.
Kinglsey lets out a long sigh, "Have we not had enough of this already!"
"Talking to yourself is not a good sign, Kingsley!"
"Go do your job, Penelope," replies Kingsley humorously.
