Chapter One
"Good morning, Hermione!"
"Hi, Hermione!"
"Good to see you, Hermione!"
The auror office rang with good mornings on that fine, Saturday morning, which hadn't happened since the golden trio became aurors at the Ministry of Magic. Hermione finally reached her desk, and set her bag down.
"Good morning Harry, Ron," Hermione smiled at her friends, whose cubicles just happened to be on either side of hers. She sat down in her chair and sighed. She thought about how lucky she was to be here. It was five years since they had been at Hogwarts, and it took them four years to get through auror training. "So, any luck on the regurgitating toilet incidents?" asked Hermione to both boys.
"Actually, yes. We actually solved the case," said Ron proudly, puffing up his chest importantly.
"Really? Who was it?" Hermione questioned excitedly.
"Well, remember the man Ron's father caught with the regurgitating toilets, Willy Widdershins?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded. "Well, we got an owl from a squib in Canterbury that there was a 'plumber' doing things that he shouldn't be to her toilet, and, quite coincidental, her husband, who's a wizard, comes home, recognizes Willy, and puts the full body bind on him." Hermione nodded approvingly, and Harry continued. "Well, shortly after that, Ron and I apparated to the house, and we got Willy in custody. He is now in Azkaban waiting for trials, and this time, I don't believe he will be able to worm his way out of it."
"Bravo!" Hermione exclaimed, clapping her hands quietly for her friends. "So, do you guys know what you're doing next?"
"I'm really not..."
Just then, Tonks walked over with a bulging folder.
"Hello, Nymphadora," said Ron sweetly.
"Ron, how many times do I have to tell you? DON'T CALL ME NYMPHADORA!!!" Heads turned in every direction. "Sorry!" she said, grinning sheepishly . People turned back to their work and began disapperating and apperating once more.
"Hello, Tonks," said Hermione, who glared at Ron. "Is there something we can do for you?" asked Hermione.
"Actually, there is. There has been several reports of people tortured in their homes, and we have found proof that it is Death Eaters. We weren't planning on giving this assignment to you three, but Professor Dumbledore owled us with another concern of his, expressing his deepest wishes for you to take the assignment at hand."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked at each other with questioning looks, but nodded anyways.
"Of course we'll take the assignment," said Harry.
"Yes, of course," agreed Hermione, taking the folder from Tonks.
"Good. I suggest you go see Dumbledore as soon as possible. He wishes to tell you three something regarding the assignment, though he wouldn't say what." She shrugged, and walked off.
"Well, after five years of being away from school, we finally have to go back," said Ron with a sigh.
"I guess so," replied Harry, and the three disapperated.
----------
Crack!
The golden trio apperated into the village of Hogsmeade, wearing their work robes. Where the Hogwarts crest would be on the school robes, they had a different crest. It had the Ministry of Magic symbol at the top, and across the bottom, centered, said 'Auror', all in silver. The three began walking slowly up the path that led to the castle.
In the distance, a big figure grew closer and closer to them, until they saw it was Hagrid.
"Hey Hagrid," shouted Ron, Harry, and Hermione all in unison.
"It's good ter see ya," he said, grinning widely at them. "What brings you here?" he said, as they began to walk up the steps and into the castle and into the Entrance Hall, where students were coming from every direction to eat. The students stared at the half-giant and the adults next to him, and pointed to the badges on their cloaks.
"Their from the Ministry of Magic!"
"Their aurors!"
"Cool!"
"Is something going wrong?"
Whispers came from all over as they walked from the Entrance Hall into the Dining Hall, where they saw Albus Dumbledore sitting at the head of the table. He slowly rose and walked towards him, heads turning in his wake, leaving the whole room silent.
"Hello, Prof..." began Hermione, but she was suddenly interrupted.
"We can not talk here, for it is not safe. We will go to my office." His words echoed off the walls, and everyone in the Great Hall. Dumbledore turned quickly, Hermione, Harry, and Ron right on his heels, leaving a confused Hagrid behind.
"Well...Owl me...or...I'll owl you!" Hagrid shouted after them, and, with a shake of his head, he headed up to the head table.
