Okay so after much deliberation, I'm deciding to put this up. Before I get flames, I do not condone cheating myself but sadly it does happen in real life and it's not always because the person is just a prick. There are numerous factors to this that will be explained this. This is set after the birth of Albus, one year after at least so Albus is 1, James is 6 and Teddy is 7 years old. Lily Luna is obviously not born yet. These will be told in a series of short drabbles due to time constraints and because this is basically the background for my Next Generation story. Thanks to Valerian for helping me with this.
She was a Slytherin even if she was the Black Sheep. He was a Gryffindor. They were poles apart when they were in Hogwarts and she had secretly supported Potter's side even if she hadn't done it openly. Now, 12 years later, Daphne Greengrass had received an amazing job offer from the Ministry of Magic to work as an undercover auror for them to discover the mysterious death eater attacks that had been happening. She had been trained privately by one of the best aurors there was, Kingsley Shacklebolt and had gained the certificates necessary for this job. This was an amazing chance to get a well-settled job so she had taken it. In all these years, she had never really settled down in life because she had never found the right person to settle with. She had had short-term relationships but nothing too major that she could consider a serious commitment. Today was her first day at work and she entered the office slowly, pressing a few codes to get inside. As the door swung open, she came forward to meet her new boss, Auror Harry James Potter who she would be working in partnership with him.
"Ms. Greengrass, right?" Harry's soft voice asked and Daphne could only nod her head.
"Yes," Daphne said softly. "I saw an ad for this job and applied. I didn't expect to get a response back so soon."
"Your application was quite impressive to the Head Office," Harry replied, smiling a bit. "There have been some mysterious death eater attacks but we cannot seem get a hold on where these death eaters could be hiding. Ever since the defeat of Voldemort, something like this is quite odd and should not be happening."
Daphne listened to this and frowned. Harry had a point. Voldemort was gone and for a long while, his supporters had not shown himself because there was no point in it when they had no support. But recently, there had been a series of death eater attacks, after which the death eaters had vanished into thin air. Did they have a new dark lord? No, that couldn't be possible - could it? She didn't know, however she would do her best.
"Mr. Potter," Daphne began but Harry cut her off.
"Ms. Greengrass, if we are to be working together, I think being at a first name basis would be a lot less formal," Harry intervened softly. "Please call me Harry."
Daphne smiled a bit. "Then you too...please call me Daphne. Now, what is my mission?"
Harry placed some papers on the table. "I want you to go to these locations but make sure you're not seen. Go in your normal attire since you are undercover and report back to me as soon as you can."
Daphne nodded. "I understand. I promise I won't disappoint you, Harry."
Harry smiled. "Good luck." He extended his hand and Daphne shook it, before wrapping her cardigan tighter around her body and heading out.
