A/N : Any character you can recognize belongs to J.K. Rowling. The plot and the OCs are born of my imagination. Happy Reading!

From the Office of Minister for Magic,

To whomsoever it may concern,

It is with great joy and honour that I, Kingsley Shacklebolt, interim Minister for Magic, Order of Merlin First Class, declare that the groups of terrorists who called themselves Death Eaters have all been apprehended and are pending trial. I also promise that the accused will be given fair trial during their hearing at Wizengamot. The date for the trail will be finalised shortly.

In this regard, I also would like to thank the newly reformed Auror Office for their tireless efforts in rounding up the last of the Death Eaters. Also, I would like to make special mention of the following officers, whose hard work has made the fragile peace we have won, possible. The ministry has taken measures to honour these following individuals.
