So here is the first chapter of the revised version. It is short but it is straight forward. The next chapter will be longer. I am hoping to keep the updates reguluar. But that won't start until August. I am going on a vacation to the beach and then to a festival and will not have time to update. Afterwords I should be able to update this more and more. Anyway I hope you guys like the rewrite and I will be putting a poll up for you to vote on who else comes back in time.

I do not own anything.


Chapter One: The Attack

Harry Potter was sitting on his chair at work. After going through a year of Auror training the Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, stuck him in an office by himself. The department was still on the search for the runaway death eaters. It seemed that Crabbe and Goyle Sr. were smart enough to escape from Voldemort before he was defeated. Either that or they were too stupid to know where Hogwarts was. Harry personally thinks it was the latter of the two options.

Lucius Malfoy was thrown into the newly fixed Azkaban. There was no way he could bribe or pay anyone in the ministry to look the other way on his case. Narcissa and Draco Malfoy were not in Azkaban. Narcissa was let off the hook when Harry crashed her trial and told the court that she defied Voldemort and told him that Harry was dead when he really wasn't. With that motion she helped set Voldemort to his doom. Harry might have forgotten to mention that she was only doing it to find Draco and not help defeat Voldemort, but Harry didn't think that information was important.

Draco was let off the hook when Harry crashed into his trial. (Harry is extremely lucky that Kingsley is the Minister of Magic because Harry could be put on trial himself for breaking and entering a Ministry trial. Then again could they really throw the savior of the Wizarding world in jail?) Harry told the court that Draco was forced into getting the Dark mark in order to save Voldemort from killing the most important women in Draco's life, his mom. Eventually the court voted that both Draco and Narcissa were to be set free from all charges.

Draco had then gotten a job as an Auror too. And although it ticked Ron off a bit, slowly, very slowly, Draco was becoming friends with Harry and, even though Ron denies any thoughts of this, Draco was becoming friends with Ron too.

There was a bustle of noise outside of Harry's office and then the door blasted open. Crabbe Sr. came running in. Crabbe Sr. clothes were extremely dirty. From the flies flying around him Harry expected the Crabbe Sr. hadn't bathed in days, weeks even. The thing that caught Harry's eye though was the wand being pointed on him.

Two Aurors ran in the room and launched themselves at Crabbe Sr. It was too late. Crabbe Sr. had finished casting a spell at Harry and it was shooting straight at Harry. Harry stared at the incoming spell for a split second before jumping out of the way. Harry signed thinking he was out of harm's way and turned around expecting to see the spell hit the wall.

What Harry didn't expect was for the spell to change course. The spell was coming after Harry again. Harry tried to dodge it but to no valid. The spell struck him straight in the chest as Ron and Draco ran into the room to see what was going on. Harry's vision turned black. The last thing he saw was horror on Ron, Draco, and the two Auror's faces and a look of triumph on Crabbe Sr.'s.
