Misfiled Paperwork
Chapter 1: Battle at the DOM
"Let's see how long Longbottom lasts before he cracks like his parents…unless Potter wants to give us the prophecy." mocked Bellatrix, turning she pointed her wand at Neville "Cruciatus!". The shaking pale boy dropped to the floor jaw clenched in determination not to scream as he jerked and spasmed on the cold stone. "Awww, come on Longbottom scream, just like your parents did. SCREAM!" The woman shrieked laughing insanely as she ended the curse. "So what do you say Potter? You going to be a good little boy and hand over that prophesy?" cooed Bellatrix.
"Go Fuck Yourself!" Gasped Neville as he tried to stand his eyes blazing defiantly. "Harry don't give it to them! Don't!" Green met Hazel and the normally quiet boy shook his head firmly in the negative
"Such disrespect from youth these days, Lucius!" She gasped.
Aforementioned man turned dispassionately toward his sister in law and nodded in agreement, his one hand holding his wand the other had a raven haired boy by the front of his clothes.
"Honestly I am just shocked! You'll just have to be taught to respect your betters,won't you?" She twisted her lips half in a snarl and into something that could only be described as a grimace. "Cruciatus" and the boy dropped to the stones again. Holding out for nearly half a minute before finally letting out a gut wrenching scream in agony as he flailed hard against the ground.
"Neville, NO! STOP! STOP IT! I'll...I'll give you the blasted thing if it's that important to you" Harry screamed struggling to get to his fallen friend.
The woman smirked ending the curse once again "I knew you'd give in Potter. Now hand it over to my dear brother in law."
Malfoy released the teen and held his arm out expectantly, wand poised at the boy's throat as if daring him to try anything. Harry extended his slightly trembling hand from his robe slowly. In it grasped a glowing blue sphere which he placed in the blonde mans outstretched palm. Just as his fingers were closing around the glass ball the door to the chamber burst open and in ran Moody, Remus, Sirius, and Tonks firing curses and hexes at Macnair as they chased him into the chamber. Bellatrix shot into movement leaping wildly, psychotically in her element. Harry fired after her as Malfoy turned to beat a hasty retreat to his master. He had obtained his goal, no need to bother risking it all now, the man started for the door. Seeing his one chance Neville pushed himself to the right and forward with his feet and grabbed Malfoy's legs causing the man to stumble. A short drop and then then the circular room was filled with a booming eerie voice-
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."
Silence reigned as all stared at where the sphere fell. Seconds seemed to stretching for days as everyone's eyes turned to Harry as he ran to Neville's side. Macnair saw his master's plan shatter with the orb and immediately shot a 'reducto' at the two boys which Luna blocked as her and the other teens entered the death chamber. Then all hell broke loose. Tonks started shooting at Malfoy causing him to dart to the side and away from the boys. Bellatrix whipped around to attack her cousin who threw a stunner her way to distract her from the young wizards as Harry dragged Neville towards his other four friends all of them injured. Remus was trying to make his way over to them firing back to back with Tonks.
"BOY take the others and go! GO NOW!" Commanded Moody as he spun and shot with stilted grace that only years of fighting in his condition could bring. The teens for once heeded authority as the able ones started helping the others and cautiously making their way to the exit. Halfway through the room Macnair leapt seizing Harry from behind. Neville reacting purely on instinct jabbed Hermione's wand through the masks eye hole. With a howl of pain the man dropped the dark headed teen. Harry looked up to see his godfather taunting and mocking Bellatrix as they fought around the edges of the room. With a sudden dull 'CRACK' another person forcefully entered the room via apparition breaking through the ministry's wards. The six teens turned behind them to see a female around their age crouched low on the stone floor. She seemed to be surveying the situation judging what was most important before jumping up to her feet and dashing over to them.
"Who's been hit and with what?" She asked urgently.
The six friends looked at each other. Should they trust her? If she wanted to kill them they'd be dead by now wouldn't they? Finally Harry gave the tiniest of nods.
"Neville had the Cruciatus cast on him twice a minute or so each. And I think they may have broken his nose." Responded Harry if she was asking about them and not shooting on site she had to be here to help, or at least he hoped. The girl pulled a vial of yellow potion out of a pouch on her waste handing it to the sandy haired boy who was still shaking from the curse or nerves she didn't know. She quickly fixed his nose. With a quick glance at the others she cast a good eight healing spells on them, fixing concussions, cuts, scrapes, Ginny's broken ankle, then pulled back and noticed the blood seeping through Hermione's shirt. She lifted the fabric before turning to the others "Dolohov?" They nodded quickly and she pulled a light blue foggy vial out and poured it down the brunette's throat. Reaching to her left ankle she produced her spare wand and handed it to Neville as he gave Hermione's her own back. "Get against the wall the six of you now!" She waved her wand casting a strong shield over them she smiled and then pulled a rectangular small metal box out of her coat pocket. Looking back at the battle she seemed startled by something briefly then hitting a button on the top she slammed it against the wall before turning back and started making her way through the crossfire. In about 30 seconds the room was suddenly filled with sirens and noise from all side as if it was coming from the stone building itself. The two male Death Eaters spun around bewildered
Harry and the others watched intently as the stranger charged straight toward Sirius and his deranged cousin who seemed oblivious to the noise. Meanwhile the others in the room kept fighting and searching for the source. Tonks and Moody had been taken down, Remus was fending off both Macnair and Malfoy and seemed to be slowly being pushed further back. The girl stunned and bound Malfoy as his accomplice took down the soft spoken marauder. The girl raced past Macnair just as Lestrange hit the dark haired fugitive with an unheard spell. Sirius looked shocked as he started to fall backward into the billowing curtained archway. Lightening quick the new comer pulled a whip out of her jacket shooting it toward the falling man. The leather wrapped around Sirius's arm cutting into the flesh sharply and with a fierce tug she threw him to the ground in front of the veil. Bellatrix and Macnair turned to her. Smiling the girl shot a blasting hex taking the wand and hand off at the wrist and then stunned the screaming deranged woman. Turning to Macnair she went to cast a stunner but he was quicker and disarmed her. Pulling a shiny black Beretta 92 out of her side holster she fired at the robed death eater missing him by a fraction of an itch it was just enough to clip his mask sending it flying off to the side. Macnair stared at her in awe. "Remember me Mr. Macnair?" She snarled. She vaulted toward him tackling him to the stone ground she wrestled him onto his stomach. Pulling out a a pair of magic inhibiting handcuffs she secured Macnair who still had yet to say a word.
"You okay Black?" She turned and gabbed her wand, re-holstering her gun. She started reviving the other order members.
"Who the hell are you?" Sirius asked as he struggled to get on his feet. Before running to the students stopping abruptly at her shield; which held up even after getting hit by several stray spells, that the convict was now adding to in his attempt to get the shield down.
She smiled at him and walking over healed the gash her whip had caused. Turning to the wall she removed the box and suddenly the room was silent with the exception of heavy breathing and slight groans from the order members. She turned to walk back and release the teens when suddenly there was three wands at her throat, face, and head respectively.
"Auror Tonks, Ex-Auror Moody, Mr. Lupin... that isn't a sporting way to thank the person who just saved you." She smirked at the teens and winked.
"State your name and purpose." Moody gruffly demanded.
"Legion of American Wizards, LAW Agent Codename Artemis, I have orders to take down the Lestranges', Malfoy senior, Macnair, Dolohov, and any other Marked Death Eaters in their company." She responded coldly. "Remove your wands now if you would like to keep them."
"Badge?" Tonks responded just as icily.
"My front left pocket." Artemis replied. Tonks pulled out a thin leather case flipping it open inside was a badge and ID card. The wands were lowered and she turned and smiled at the other woman before taking her wallet gently and pulling three pieces of metal out of one of her inner pockets.
"What did you do to my godson and his friends, Why can't I get to them!" yelled a very frustrated Sirius. He had finally given up spells and was just hitting the slight shimmering enclosure with his fists.
"Oh, it's just a shield to protect them dude chill out." she responded and distractedly waved her hand in his general direction causing the cover to collapse in a shimmery poof. Pulling out a cell phone she hit the speed dial not noticing every eye on her as the adults realized the students were all healed already. "Artemis checking in I have Malfoy, Macnair, and the female Lestrange, one injury on the female- permission to send them in." She stated clearly. The response was immediate "Good hunt send them through. Artemis" Just as she hung up Dumbledore and Shacklebolt came running into the room.
"Where is the Prophesy?" commanded Dumbledore
"Malfoy dropped it, it shattered. Sir." Whispered Neville. The Headmaster paled and lost the twinkle as he looked at Harry.
"What is going on here? Who is she?" The Auror demanded.
"Artemis" The new comer retorted and then kissed the first piece of metal dropping it on Bellatrix, she vanished instantly. Turning she glared and repeated the process to Macnair. Finally she went to send Malfoy too but found someone gripping her arm.
"Miss. Artemis I'm afraid I can't allow you to do what you are doing. There is information that you do not have that makes things very different from as they appear. I'm going to need those two back also. They are citizens of England and as such they have to be tried here in front of the Wizengamot." Dumbledore stared at her sternly. Taking her wand from her other hand.
"No Sir, I'm afraid you have no say in this. They are wanted fugitives and I was sent to send them back to my country so that we may see justice seen. Sir to be frank with you we don't trust you to see that done if the past frauds of trails should be taken as the norm." She calculatedly responded. "If you have a problem with this I suggest you call Madam Bones. She knew I was going to be in England on business." She smiled at his confused expression "No matter she should have gotten by distress call already. Oh and I'm gonna need to talk with Lord Black after this is over, there seems to be a discrepancy with his trail transcriptions. Mainly that there are none. Anywhere." She raised an eyebrow and pulled her arm free she went to throw the piece of metal on the still subdued Death Eater.
Unfortunately the old man quickly conjured a mouse and tossed it in the path vanishing the vermin instead of the well larger vermin. Before she could do anything there was a blast throwing everyone to the ground. In walked Voldemort followed by the Lestrange brothers and Dolohov.
"Where is the Prophesy?" Hissed Voldemort.
Before anyone could answer the room was swarmed with Aurors, Ministry workers, Reporters, and the minister of magic himself. Who on seeing Voldemort promptly fainted while the others tried to help the fighters up. With everyone momentarily distracted Artemis drew her gun again.
"Blondie dropped it, it's gone Tom." Spat Artemis before she opened fire taking down the two brothers and hitting the Dark Lord in the wand arm, before Malfoy grabbed the brothers and Macnair and they all disapparited.
"Son of a Bitch!" The American witch growled getting to her feet and right up to Dumbledore "You'll pay for this old man." She sneered. Holstering her gun and snatching her wand back from him.
"Agent! That will be enough!" Snapped Madam Bones.
"No that will not be enough Ma'am, Not At All! I had him detained, I had permission to send him in, and this old goat threw a rat in front of my transportation token! I will not have this go on anymore!" The younger girl bit back. "And I'll be taking Lord Black NOT your Aurors Do I Make Myself Clear, Ma'am?"
"Very well Agent Artemis you may use integration room seven if you'd like." Bones responded.
"Thank you Madam Bones if it wouldn't be too much would you please join me with your two first responding Aurors?" She inquired dusting herself off studiously ignoring the photographers snapping away at her, the room, and the others inside.
"We will be there in ten Agent." She responded looking coldly at the two order members.
"Auror Tonks and Ex-Auror Moody fought very admirably." The agent stated as she walked past the head of the DMLE. Gathering Sirius and the students followed by Moody and Remus they headed for the interrogation room. The crowd gave the intimidating American a wide berth, well as intimidating as her five foot two frame allowed her to be.
Sighing Madam Bones looked at the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry wearily. "Do you have any idea what you've done this time Dumbledore? This isn't good, not at all"
"Now come Lady Bones. The poor thing was just distraught she'll calm down in a bit an apologize you'll see. This will all blow over by tomorrow. Besides we have bigger problems with the Dark Lord being back and the war looming." Dumbledore tutted before making his way toward the reporters and photographers.
Shaking her head she looked at her two best aurors and signaled for them to follow her. 'This wasn't good and if Dumbledore thought this was just going to get swept under the rug he obviously never heard of Artemis. It just had to be her didn't it' The director thought as she lead her two down an empty secluded hallway before turning on them
"What the HELL were you Thinking?" She growled
"It was a trap ma'am, Voldemort lured Harry and we had to come." Tonks quickly supplied
"That doesn't explain why neither of you called for backup, Auror Tonks. I had to wait for an outsider to send me a warning when she traced Macnair to the ministry building. Then she broke through the wards to make sure you didn't get yourselves killed! Ugh, okay lets go get this whole ordeal over with." The director huffed and spun around going to the interrogation room seven.
Artemis lead her misfit little army into the spacey interrogation room locking the doors before facing her audience. Smiling she gestured for them all to have a sit. "These interrogation rooms are so cool, they can tell exactly just what you need and how much of it." She chirped as she sat and realized that audience was the best description for the lot. They hadn't stopped staring at her the entire walk and now it was just getting plain annoying. "Alright you all can wipe that stunned lemming look off your faces now thank you oh so very much." being brisk and right to the point usually worked at the very least it might knock them out of this creepy display.
"Why?" was the only thing uttered after a full three minutes of waiting. Swinging her head in the direction of a petite blond with doe like eyes that showed nothing but curiosity.
"Why what?" It was a start she supposed.
"Why...why everything? Why did you save us and heal us? Why did you shield us? Why did you fight and save the order members?" The little blond muttered. 'Oh crap that might be shock setting in' she though snapping her fingers a soda popped up in front of everyone seated at the chilly metal table. "Drink up, all of you it will help starve off the shock that is surely to be coming once the adrenaline fades." She waited til they all were drinking before answer the questions "And well for your questions, because that's my job. It's what I do."
"What do you mean? You can't be much older then any of us!" exclaimed the red headed girl looking flabbergasted.
Smiling gently at the group she decided it was time for a chance of topics "What are all of your names? I mean it seems hardly fair that you know mine and you haven't introduced yourselves yet. I'm not sure if this would be considered a slight against my person or not, hmm..." She cocked her head to the side her face in consideration of wither to be insulted or not. And that did it, first the blonde girl started to giggle and the rest of them just followed in falling apart laughing in relief that it was really over now. She smiled over at the adults in the little group, who didn't know if they should be worried for their charges or happy that they weren't slipping into shock. "Don't worry, they'll be fine just stress of the night I would bet. Mr. Lupin, Ex-Auror Moody would either of you need any healing or anything?" She asked seriously, which they both declined being nothing more then bruised and bumped around a bit.
"How come you didn't ask me if I was ok?" pouted the dark haired marauder.
"Simple really, I healed you before when you first got up and besides I'm legally not allowed to do anything to you until there are ministry aurors here." She laughed. But before he could say anything the three missing peoples showed up.
"Agent Artemis what are these civilians doing in the interrogation room?" Madam director Bones asked fighting down a smile at the seemingly lightened children then she saw just ten minutes before.
"They were just waiting for their Auror escorts to safely be let out of the ministry building Ma'am" the American smiled up at the director.
"Hmm, I see." the older woman agreed, giving her aurors the 'This is FAR from over' look they lead the six students and two adults to the private floo system in the next room. "So what is this interrogation about Agent?" Bones asked trying her hardest not to sound interested or bitter to have someone a fraction of her age checking in on her peoples work as she seated herself next to Artemis. Across from the two Sirius seemed to understand that it was his quiet time.
"There seems to be a problem with Lord Black's interrogation and trial transcripts Ma'am" She replied dutifully as she removed a packet of paperwork from an inner jacket pocket.
"And what would this problem be exactly?"
"They don't seem to exist Ma'am. I've searched for them myself and with help, I've asked around to the people who were on the Wizengamot at the time of the trial was supposedly held and none of them recall there being one. In light of this evidence I was sent to find Sirius Black, hold a questioning of my own and to see if it needed to be followed through with the criminal trial that we are all due to, under the law of both your and my land." She handed over half of the paperwork. To say that Madam Bones was shocked would be an understatement, the director was absolutely floored. "You may of course use your own Veritaserum and ask the questions of course but I must be present Ma'am just for propriety's sake not because I don't trust you personally." She reassured the higher ranking woman.
"And what may I ask prompted this in depth investigation?" The director asked curiously.
"Oh.. hmm, there had seemed to be a couple misfiled and in some cases completely wrong paper work filed coming from the English Ministry of Magic. I was asked to reorganize all the files. Now normally occasional misplacement can occur but, what was a little off was that they were all from the same employee. I had to follow through with an investigation. It's protocol Ma'am. I apologize for how this may seem to some on the inside and outside but we aren't attacking the English Ministry, it's just that these checks and balances are in place for a reason; to make sure justice is served." She retorted honestly.
"I see and who was this employee if I may ask?" The director prompted.
"Hmm" the younger woman flicked through the paperwork "Ah! Here it is, a Miss. Delores Umbridge." Suddenly Sirius let out a barking laugh causing both women to jump. "And what is so funny Lord Black?" The young Agent inquired.
"Oh, Nothing except the fact that they put...that, that...THING! In charge of the children of the British Wizarding World is all." Sirius smiled slightly shaking his head "A women who as a Professor of DADA refuses to teach anything but theory, who uses a blood quill on her students, and now apparently can't even do paperwork correctly. This is ridiculous. But then again I'm just an escaped convicted murder ya know. Well except for the convicted part, oh and the murderer part... I did escape from that hell hole though." Both women stared at him for a minute.
"Blood quill...on students?" The young woman asked is open disgust and disbelief "Amelia isn't your niece currently in Hogwarts?"
"Susan... oh, oh god! I'll murder that ignorant cow myself! What is that old man thinking?"
"Fudge or Dumbledore?"
"BOTH! Artemis you have Veritaserum on you right?"
"Yes I always do. Lord Black would you mind tilting your head back and opening your mouth?"
"Anything you say Agent Artemis!" Sirius smiled happily and complied. The American Agent walked around the table twisting something on her right hand as she did so. Pushing his chair a good foot away from the table she then put her hand upside-down above is mouth. She tapped her ring three times delivering the appropriate amount out into his system. His face took on a blank expression awaiting questions. Nodding her head Artemis signaled for Bones to start before switching positions with the Head of the DMLE.
"State your name for the record please." Bones asked 'If we have to do this might as well do it right' she thought
"Sirius Orion Black" He replied monotone.
"Date of Birth?"
"August 2nd 1959"
"Were you the Potter's secret keeper?"
"No"
Silence hung in the air as both women looked at each other before Artemis stood and gestured to her chair which the older woman took gracefully. The young Agent leaned on the table looking at the dark haired man.
"Who was the Potter's secret keeper in October of 1981?"
"Peter Pettigrew"
"Did you kill Pettigrew?"
"No, but I would have if I had gotten my hands on the little rat."
"Were you questioned after your arrest, Lord Black?"
"No, I just woke up in Azkaban."
"Were you given a Trial?"
"No."
"What happened the afternoon you cornered Mr. Pettigrew?"
"We were shouting I just wanted to know why he betrayed us all. He yelled that I betrayed James and Lily. Then he blew up the street, bite off his finger and turned into a rat scampered down into the sewer."
"A rat? How did he do that?"
"He is an Animagus we all were me, him, and James. He takes on the form of a rat, James was a Stag, and I turn into a black dog."
"What about your friend Mr. Lupin?"
"Remus can't because he's a werewolf. He's the reason we completed the Animagus training in the first place, so he wouldn't have to go through his transformations alone."
Seeing that the Veritaserum was starting to wear off she decided to ask one last question. "Are there any other illegal dealings you would like to share with us Lord Black?" She smiled.
"No."
Turning away from the man she looked at a woman she has known since her second assignment almost two years prior. "Madam Bones I know you have inherited this problem when taking your office last week, would you like to deal with this yourself or would you like me to?"
"I believe we should both handle this situation Agent Artemis." Amelia smiled as a buzzing suddenly filled the room. "Excuse me Ma'am." the younger woman pulled he cell phone out of her pocket
"Artemis" she spoke into it.
"We only received Lestrange, Macnair, and a mouse. Where is Malfoy, Artemis?" Snapped a man out of the speaker.
"I ran into a bit of a problem in the form of Dumbledore. He intercepted the transfer Sir."
"Unacceptable Agent! Why did you not check in immediately?"
"We got more company Sir, Death Eaters, Voldemort, Press, Aurors, Ministry Workers. Sir it was a mad house the Death Eaters escaped in the ensuing chaos."
"I expected better from you Agent! Maybe you weren't the best choice for this assignment after all." The man spoke wearily. Hearing this Madam Bones gestured for the phone.
"Director Turner Madam Director of the DMLE Bones would like a word with you." The agent stated cautiously.
"Put her on!" he commanded. The younger girl handed her phone to the other woman.
"Director Turner I think your Agent needs a change of pace after what happened last month. We do still need a liaison Agent from LAW her at the DMLE." Bones spoke clearly
"Yes that would be a very good suggestion Director Bones, you will have her transfer papers on your desk by next week. Please put my Agent on the phone. Oh, and Amelia it would be wonderful to hear from you more often. I know you'll take care of our girl." He stated as Bones handed over the cell.
"Director Tuner?" the agent asked. "What will my assignment be for the next week?"
"Find a place to stay Agent get settled in. And finish up this Sirius Black business I expect a detailed report before you start any assignments there." he told her with a chuckle.
"Alright Director. Just one thing before you go?" she smiled.
"And that would be?"
"Laugh at Ares for me?"
"What did you do now?" he asked sounding exasperated.
"Oh, you'll know when it happens. Now I have to take a certain Lord to pay a fine and get registered as an Animagus. You'll have your report by next week Sir." She laughed as she ended the call. Turning to her new commander. "That is of course if you allow that Madam Director."
Sirius sat shock still in his chair, they knew the truth now! He wanted to scream, to yell, to jump up and hug the young stranger and thank her. But he wasn't free yet. They hadn't said it yet. He watched the two women with baited breath as they spoke to an unseen man through some box communicator. Finally Bones turned to him.
"Lord Black you are free to go. Seeing as no charges were ever brought against you, there is no reason to hold a meeting of the Wizengamot. I apologize on behalf of the Ministry and you will be compensated for your unlawful imprisonment in Azkaban. Your name is clear, if you would just follow Agent Artemis she will take you to get registered and we will be waiving the fee for today." Madam Bones extended her hand to shake the dark haired marauder's in congratulations, when he jumped up and hugged her. Hearing laughing she turned to her new and youngest Auror. "Agent Artemis please take Lord Black to the registrations office it should be open by now. Also Agent you are suspended with pay for the next two months. I will not be talked to with disrespect regardless of the situation." Black jumped back and offered his arm to the girl. Smiling at her new commander she nodded before turning and looping her arm through the one offered and together they left the room.
"So Artemis is it?" Sirius asked after a few minutes of walking in silence.
"Yes Lord Black that is my codename." She looked up at him as she steered him toward the lift.
"Ah, so what is your name then?" he asked catching her eye.
"That is none of your concern at the moment Lord Black." she replied cocking her head to the side. "I'm just here to get you registered and off to your godson as quickly as possible. He must be worried." The lift opened and they entered much to the shock and fear of the two witches who promptly left before the doors could close. "Well that was rude! Do I smell or something?" She asked looking at the older man.
Sirius let out a bellowing laugh as he stared at her. "No Agent you don't and please call me Sirius."
"Why would I call you that? You don't seem like the serious type to me?" She said smirking.
Laughing again they exited at the correct level to the stares of all of the workers. Suddenly a stunner flew by Sirius's head. "CEASE FIRE! I am a LAW Agent, what is the meaning of all this?" Artemis yelled as she found every wand in the room pointed in their direction. "That's escaped murder Sirius Black!" someone from the back yelled. "Ah, I see." she muttered.
"Put down your wands at once! I just interrogated this man myself with the Head of the DMLE. IT SEEMS, that he was never questioned under Veritaserum when arrested. Never actually charged either as a matter of fact. Really makes you wonder though doesn't it?" she looked at the crowd of confused faces.
"Makes you wonder what?" a woman asked as she lowered her wand.
"Well if a Lord from The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, a pure-blood and a ministry Auror at that can be thrown into Azkaban with no problem, no questioning and no trial... how much of a chance do the rest of any of you have?" She sneered as every other wand in the room dropped and the stunned Witches and Wizards looked at each other in dawning understanding.
"Lord Black the Animagus registration should be just down this hallway." she lead the man away from the still silent room.
"What made you do that?" whispered Sirius.
"Well if this place is anything like home your name should be cleared before the breakfast is even cleaned up." She smiled cheerfully leading him at a counter.
The older gentleman behind the desk looked up and smiled. "Artemis lovely to see you again dear! Did you discover another form you need to register?" he asked excitedly.
"No Sir, I think six forms is quite enough for me. I'm just here to help Lord Black register." She smiled at the old man as he didn't even flinch he just pulled out the paper work before congratulating Sirius on his exoneration. Artemis steered him over to a desk before stepping out of the room, returning in under fifteen minutes, a plain folder in hand. With the paperwork and everything done in record time. The pair was head out toward the atrium amongst now many a warm reception for the former ex-con.
"Well this is where I leave you Lord Black." the agent said once they reached the public floo.
"Thank you again for all you've done and not just for me. I mean helping with the fight, protecting the kids, and standing up to Dumbledore and Bones; you've got guts." Sirius smiled and then threw some floo powder in the fire stepping in. Tapping him on the arm she handed him a folder.
"No thanks needed. Farewell Sirius." She smirked as his confused face disappeared from sight.
Artemis spun on her heal for the doors making her way through the crowds of workers and reporters she exited out into the street. Shaking her head she thought over everything that she now had to accomplish. 'Might as well find a place to stay' she thought as she started walking down the road, abruptly a hand grabbed her shoulder and she as forcefully side-apparited off the street.
Alrighty that is it for chapter one. I hope you liked it. The first line in the story is taken straight from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Other then that I really won't be following them anymore
