Chapter 1: The Reunion

Harry hit the ground hard after jumping out of a tree. He began running again. His lungs felt like they were about to explode, but he had to keep running. Anything to catch the minion of Voldemort he was trying to catch. No matter how hard Harry ran, he couldn't seem to catch him. Of course, that might be because he had left his wand on his dresser like a stupid idiotic muggle, not unlike Dudley would have as a matter of fact. But he couldn't think about that now, he was gaining on the un-named servant. Harry dove and caught the person in the small of the back, sending him hurtling to the ground with a howl of pain. Harry pulled out the perpetrators wand out and cast a small stunning spell upon him. Harry groaned and got to his feet.

"Now do you see how easy that was Peter?". Peter Pettigrew rolled over; hands stuck together behind his back as a result of the stunning spell, and whimpered. "Oh come now, I didn't hit you that hard." Harry was suppressing his builtup anger and hate at Pettigrew from years past. He helped him up and they walked back to the village, Harry staying close so as Peter didn't run. "You do realize the magnitude of what you've done don't you?" Harry asked. Peter nodded as they got back to the broken down old shop Harry had started his chase from when Peter had taken off running. They walked inside to see a kindly old man sitting in a chair, waiting.

"Oh, THANK YOU Mr. Potter, I feared he would have gotten away from you and I would have lost something so valuable" said the old man.

"It was no trouble, Peter and have a, how you say, fond, past. Ok, hand it over Pettigrew" Peter handed over a few pieces of candy and as small glass ball, only about 1 centimeter larger than a rememberall. "Be sure to keep that safe Sir" Harry told the old man.

"Oh ho ho, I will, you can be sure of that." Laughed the old man, putting the small glass ball back into the safe and casting a powerful locking spell upon it. "I'm terribly sorry for having you to come down and help me, would you like anything? Anything at all?" said the old man gesturing to the shelves upon shelves of objects lining the store.

"Oh no, that's quite all right…Well, actually, do you have a spare wand, you know, one just in case your main one brakes or you lose it, which would be HORRIBLE as you already know." Harry said.

"Actually, I think I do have an adjusting wand somewhere around here" said the old man, rummaging through some old looking boxes.

"Pardon? Adjusting wands?"

"Yes, amazing little things actually, they adjust to whomever the holder is, acting just like the real ones. Ah HA! Here we are." He pulled a box out, looked inside, and handed it to Harry. "Only thing is, they seem to cost about 4 times the price of a normal wand, haha" Harry smiled and nodded.

"Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse us, I really have got to bring Peter here back to the Ministry" Harry said, grabbing Pettigrew by the shoulder, causing him to give out a slight whimper.

"Oh yes, yes, right. Well thank you so much again" called the old man as Harry and Peter left. As soon as Harry walked out the door of the shop, he bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry, didn't see you there" said a familiar voice. Harry looked up, staring back at him was the surprised expression of Hermione Granger, one of Harry's old school friends. "Harry? Oh Harry, it IS you!" said Hermione, helping Harry up.

"Hermione! What are you doing down here?" asked Harry hugging his old friend.

"Looking for you, Ron called me and told me the ministry had found something out and that they assigned you and him and me to it. I think its something about" at this Hermione looked around, "Voldermort." At this Harry rolled his eyes.

"Not agaaiinn, Ron has sent me on so many wild goose chases I've lost count." Harry laughed along with Hermione. Then they got on their brooms and flew to the Ministry of Magic.

Once there, Ron met them in the lobby. After handshakes and a small amount of catching up, as well as some minor insulting between Ron and Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went up to Harry's office in the Auror headquarters.

Nice ending for the first chapter ain't it? R&R please.
