A/N: This chapter is only an introductory chapter to set the stage for the story. Following this the chapters will be longer.
The past week had been her most chaotic on the job. Amelia Bones worked in the department of magical law enforcement, but no one had cared about departments for years. Not with the war going on. But now it was over, and somehow that caused a greater disturbance then the war itself. The first few days had the highest level of statute of secrecy infractions ever recorded as witches and wizards mingled in broad daylight, send owls at suspicious hours.
Then, there was Sirius Black. The murder trial following the Potter's death had gained international attention. Though it had first appeared that Black was the killer, questioning him with veritaserum had changed everything. The least likely suspect, the less talented Peter Pettigrew, was an unregistered animagus and a death eater. Unfortunately, his animagus form was a rat, and tracking him would be a difficult task.
But at least when it was over, everyone would be safe. Everything would be back to normal.
