The ministry of magic was bustling with witches and wizards on this fine morning. One witch was buzzing with excitement on her first day being an auror. That witch was upstairs in the aurors department. Her name was Sophie DuBois.

"I can't believe that I'm actually here! Working in the ministry. I have always dreamed of this!" said Sophie filled with excitement in her voice. She hugged her old time friend Remus Lupin. "Welcome to my world" said Remus. He chuckled and hugged Sophie back. He was so happy for her and proud of her. Sophie and Remus were very close. Sophie never went to a magic school. She went to a prep school in Chicago. Sophie found out about her magic ability when she was 17. Sophie's uncle, who was a wizard lived in Scotland. Sophie moved in with her uncle once she found out that she was a witch. Her uncle hired Remus to come over to Scotland and tutor her in every wizarding subject that existed in Hogwarts. Remus was Sophie's role model and guide from now on.

Sophie went to her cubicle in the office and sat down on her chair by her desk. "It's pretty small, but it will do" said Sophie as she eyed the cubicle. Remus smiled at her and sat on top of her desk. "Sophie?" asked Remus. "Yes" she replied . Hey eyes rested on his. "Dumbledore, wanted me to ask you if you would like to come teach at Hogwarts this year?" he asked. "What? Are you serious?" she asked. "Yes, you can come and teach Defense against the dark arts" he said as he stood up and went over to her. "Please Sophie, its for your own good, you'll be much safer there" Remus wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Please?" he asked. Sophie stood up and faced him. Her eyes were filled in tears and her cheeks were all red. "Remus, this job is my future, and I can't do it because Lord Voldemort wants my blood and wants me to be his stupid wife?" she yelled. Remus swore under his breath, walked over to Sophie, yanked her to him and put his hands over her mouth. "You are not to say that again in public, you here me?" he asked, his eyes glaring at hers. She nodded still under his restrain. He let go of her and took her hand. "Will you do it?" he asked. Sophie nodded and walked over to hug him. He hugged her back and kissed the top of her head. They pulled away. "Lets get you home sister cookie" he said as he took her hand. She chuckled Remus was the only one allowed to call her sister cookie. "Okay, let's go" said Sophie, she turned and smiled at Remus.

The two walked out of the ministry of magic and into the world of muggles. They were heading to Sophie apartment so Sophie would be able to pack her things and leave to Hogwarts.
