The Ministers Request
The downfall of the darkest wizard who ever lived, left so many destruction, hundreds have lost their lives in a fight against the dark forces for freedom. The killing curse that came out of the dark lord's wand rebounded killing him. And so the world believed it was over, and the dark lord was no more.
A few days after his downfall, a man named Kingsley Shacklebolt was chosen to be the acting minister of magic, and to start the rebuild of the wizarding world. Before Kinsgley starts his journey on acting minister of magic, he visits Harry Potter the boy who put his whole life on the line to seek out the horcruxes, and destroy them, to bring down Lord Voldemort. He finds harry in 12 Grimmauld place. Where Harry kindly welcomes his arrival and his best friend's mother Molly Weasley prepares them tea. "Alright Harry?" asked Kingsley. "Never Been Better" responded Harry. "We are proud of you my boy" said Kingsley. "We all are" said Ron entering the room followed by Hermione and Ginny.
"Harry!, I have a request if you do not mind" said Kingsley. "I would like you to be by our side, and help us rebuild Hogwarts, and our corrupted ministry that Voldemort left behind in horrible condition" continued Kingsley smiling at Harry. "No thanks, I think I had enough stress for a life time" responded Harry. "Merlins beard Harry, I think you might be right" said Kinglsey. They continued conversation for over thirty minutes.
"Before I go, I have a question to ask each of you." Said Kingsley. Harry, Ron and Hermione, are you all going to finish your final year at Hogwarts?" asked Kinglsy. "No that place is bloody torture." said Ron. I will be going back to finish sir." Said Hermione. "I won't be going back, I am Taking a year off everything" said Harry. "Where are you going" asked Ron. "it is just something that I want to do, Sorry guys but I will be going alone and I will be traveling the muggke way, No magic." Said Harry. "Are you bloody mental? There are still death eaters out there and what not, you cant go alone." said Ron "Fine! We will keep an eye on you from the ministry." Said Kingsley smiling at Harry. "I will put in a request to make you and Mr. Weasley Graduates of Hogwarts". Then Kingsley leaves through Flu Powder. "when are You leaving?" Ginny asked Harry. "Tonight" responded harry.
As the sun was setting, Harry was packing a back pack to take with him, Hermione came in the room and pulled out a wallet out of her purse and hands it to harry. "it has Muggle money in it, my oarents had an account I emptied it before I left last year." Said Hermioni. "Thanks!" said harry, and he gave her a hug. "good luck mate" said Ron also hugging harry. Ginny waited by the door where she hugged him and kissed him and watched him walk away, fading in the dark streets.
The Sorrow At The Grave
Harry took a bus to Little Whinging, ehre he grew up with the Dursleys. After Several hours on the bus, he finally came to a stop across the park where in his fifth year his cousin Dudley and his gang try to torture Harry. Harry followed the path where he and Dudley ran until they were confronted by dementors. Harry could still remember how cold it was when they appeared. A few minutes after walking, he reached his first destination "number four privet drive" to Harry's surprise the house was still empty. Harry entered his previous home and walked around remembering his memories of his mistreated childhood. He sat inside the cupboard under the stairs where he slept for many years.
The next morning harry went to a muggle market to more food. He got on once again on a bus and got off and on several of them on his way to Godrics Hollow to visit his parents grave. Once there he sees and stares at the house his parent's lives was taken by none other than voldemort.
Harry walks to the cemetery where his parents lay to rest and sits there staring at their graves wishing he still had the resurrection stone. A few hours go by and he finally decides its time to find a nearby motel. Once he gets up, he turns around and to his surprise he was staring at the face of his aunt petunia. "is it all over?' asked his aunt Harry sensed a tone of depression in her voice.
"Aunt Petunia! What are you doing here? Asked Harry. "I came to visit the other piece of my heart which lays buried here" Harry looked at her with surprise as he never heard her speak any good of her sister. She walks and stands infront of the grave, "I have not visited her grave since that monster took her away from me" said petunia angrily fighting back tears.
Harry puts a hand on her shoulder where she immediately placed her hand over his and heald it. Harry can feel tightness in his aunts grip. She took Harrys hand and put it by her face, and to harrys surprise she gave it a kiss. "I never heald your hand Harry, not even when you were a little boy." Said petunia shaking with tears coming down. "Harry forgive me" said petunia with a shaky voice. All harry could do is look at his aunt. "Harry forgive me fpr how I mistreated you" harry continued to stare. Shaking she fell to her knees in front of her sister grave stone looking at her sisters name. "FORGIVE ME" she bellowed. "FOR NOT BEING THE MOTHER YOU NEEDED WHEN YOURS WAS GONE" she bellowed crying. She continued yelling angrily with more tears coming out of her eyes. "FORGIVE ME FOR NOT DEFENDING YOU WHEN YOU NEEDED IT, FORGIVE ME FOR NOT CELEBRATING YOUR BIRTHDAYS" FORGIVE ME FOR ALL THE WRONG THAT I HAVE DONE". On her knees she heald Harrys hand tighter. "LILLY" Petunia Bellowed. LILLY FORGIVE ME, I WAS JELOUSE, I WAS ALWAYS JELOUSE LILLY". Continued petunia. "I ENVIED AND HATED YOU LILLY PLEASE, EVER SINCE YOU LEFT MY HEART SPLIT INTO PIECES I MISTREATED YOUR SON WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOTHER YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR MY SON, I LOVE YOU LIILY, I MISS YOU. OH DEAR GOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME. Harry kissed his aunt on her fore head and got on his knees wrapped his arms around her and place her head on his chest. All petunia could do is repeat "my beloved sister forgive me. Harry was at loss for words as he never thought he would hold his aunt this way, or ever see her react this way about his mother she always spoke badly of.
A few minutes pass by and petunia begins to calm down. Dudley appears by the gate where he helps his mother into the car. Vernon Dursley came out of the driver's side and shakes Harry's hand also apologizing. And gets back into the car. Dudley pulls harry to a side. "Hey cousin everything alright" said Dudley "yes! Everything alright with you?" asked harry. "could be better. I asked dad to apologize to you for everything I know it is not enough." Said Dudley. "just that simple apology is more than enough for me" laughed harry. "Mom has been staying up late thinking about aunt your mother, just last week a man came to our home and spoke to my mother. Dad was very mad as usual, but he gave her this bottle and a note to give to you. He also brought this bowl that he used to put the things from inside the bottle, he put moms face in the liquid and next thing you know she was gone. I was worried the entire time. But when mom returned she was different. Wanted to visit her sisters grave since" said Dudley. "Do you recall who that man was Dudley?" asked Harry. Mother was yelling at him and I think his name was Severous Snape. Mother was going off on him , told him to go back to spinners end until he dumped her in that bowl" said Dudley. "thanks Big D" said Harry. "oh I am not big D no more Harry, I was a terrible person those days." Said Dudley. "I like your change" said Harry.
Dudley opened the trunk and pulled out a box and handed it to harry, "oh wait I almost forgot" said Dudley. Dudley wrote on the box. "that is our new address, please don't be a stranger and send us your owls, keep in touch" said Dudley and just like that he gave Harry a squeezing hug , got in the car and drove away. All Harry can see is his aunts watery eyes and shiney stare at him from the back seat while they faded away.
Harry ripped out the address and places it in his pocket. He opened the box and out came Dumbledores Pensieve , a bottle with memory in it, and a note that said "there is a eighth Horcrux the dark lord told me about. We do not know what it is but the war might not be over.
