Chapter 1: Chosen one turned murderer
When the article finally came out, it was front page news. At first no-one really believed it, it seemed so unlikely that the saviour of the world would suddenly be on top of the list of the Aura department. Especially since he was the one running the Aura department up until a few days ago.
Of Course Ginny Potter had known that it would only be a matter of time until the Prophet got a hold of the story. They would run the stories against him just like they used to when he was considered crazy saying that Voldemort was back when they were still in school. Ginny knew that the was nothing she could do to stop her husband's name being dragged through the mud once again, but now that there was a picture of him on the front page with the title:
Chosen one turned Murderer
She stared at the page for a bit, looking at her husband; who she hadn't seen since a day before this all started. It had been only a week but she still missed him like she hadn't seen him in a year.
1 week earlier
"Gin, I'm heading back to work. I just got a message from Kingsley saying that he needs me back at the ministry ASAP," Harry said as he walked into their bedroom.
Ginny looked up from her newest article towards her husband, "Harry it is your birthday, why do you need to go now?"
"Like you wouldn't sprint off back to the prophet if they needed you there to cover a story,"
"Shut up, what I would do doesn't matter. I am about to finish my article and then I was going to give you your birthday present, since the kids are all at Ron and Hermione,"
"I definitely can't refuse that," Harry said as he leaned down to kiss Ginny but just as they touched, a knock came from the window. An owl with a letter strapped to it was sitting outside the window observing the whole situation.
Harry moved to the window and let the owl in and took the note, it was quite short but it was apparently completely relevant.
Don't let Ginny convince you to stay, this is serious.
"Gin, now I really have to go,"
Harry kissed his wife and walked straight out of their front door and into the raining night.
Ginny had stayed up late waiting for Harry but she eventually fell asleep and the next morning she woke to the sound of banging on their front door.
"Do you know what time it is?" Ginny shouted as she opened the door.
"We are aware that it is early Mrs Potter but this is a matter of utmost importance." It was a man and a woman dressed in black ministry robes. They pushed Ginny back into the house and shuffled her into the kitchen.
"Well are you going to tell me why you are here if it is of utmost importance," She said mockingly.
"When last did you speak to your husband?"
"Last night before he went back to the ministry,"
"So you haven't had any contact with him this morning?"
"I just told you that I spoke to him last, last night. Now tell me what the hell is going on, is Harry ok?" Ginny was starting to get annoyed with these officials.
"We are currently unaware of Mr Potter's whereabouts…"
"HE'S MISSING?"
"…what we are suspecting, is that he might be hiding,"
"From who?"
"From us, Harry James Potter is suspected for the murder of Harold Buffet," The official said without a hint of emotion.
"Harold is dead?"
"Murdered, yes…"
The questions went on for what seemed like forever. Ginny wouldn't believe that Harry could have murdered Harold Buffet.
Harold Buffet had been a world class potions master and the daily prophet had assigned Ginny to have an interview with him and write an article about his success and his fame. Ginny was quite excited at first but then she actually met Harold Buffet, never before had she met someone with their head so far up their own ass. She hated every second that she had to spend with him and one night after a particularly bad session Harry had told her to write about how idiotic he was. Ginny wrote a mock article at work about how stupid he was but she left it on her desk, so when she got back from the bathroom, it was gone. Ginny discovered the editor reading it and when she said that it wasn't the real article, the editor told her that he loved it and with this type of grit, she would be well on her way to the top of the prophet. The problem started when her article came out and Harold Buffet was depicted as a pompous, arrogant self-loving jackass. Of course Harold did not like his new light even if that was how he acted. He had threatened Ginny's life and swore he would get revenge on her.
Present day
This was what the prophet was saying was the reason for the murder. It said that Harry would do anything to protect his wife and that he went straight to Buffet's house in the middle of a muggle suburb and blew the house up, right to the foundations.
Ginny grabbed the paper from in front of her and threw it into the dustbin, she didn't care what the prophet said, she was going to find the truth for herself.
