Chapter 1

A tired Harry snapped into the Ministry of Magic one morning, tired from not getting much sleep last night from too much running though his mind. He slowly walked down the hall to his office at the far end. After walking by a few offices he slowly picked up his head, which had been staring at his shoes and turned it to the left looking into the next office that he past, the office of Julia Johnson. This was becoming a morning ritual, looking into her office that is, it was not like he was spying on her or anything, its just that she was always there before he was and already hard at work on one of her missing kids files. She always had the end of her pencil in her mouth, staring at a piece of paper on her desk then moving it around so she was looking at another. They never really talked, the two of them, didn't really know each other though were comfortable to give a small smile if they pasted each other. There was a rumor going around that Julia went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a year ahead of Harry and His friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and was friends with Ron's Twin older brothers Fred and George, but no one they had talked to remembers her being there, he guessed she was always the one in the shadows, or a dark corner reading.

His gaze returned to his feet as he continued on to his office, witch he shard with his friend Ron, he arrived and slowly opened the door and let himself in, finding that he was alone and Ron had not arrived. He walked over to his desk and sat down resting his head on his desk for a moment. Not wanting to fall asleep there and then he quickly raised his head and started to gather some paper work to look over. A couple of minutes later he head a voice call out.

"Hey mate, which you working on there!" Ron asked as he entered the room and took his set at his desk.

"Malfoy's paper work!' Harry stated 'He got out again just after you left to take Hermione out to dinner! His father sure pulled some like of strings, throwing a lot of money around to keep him getting out so much."

Hermione and Ron had "finally" figured out that they had feelings for each other a bout a year and a half after the famous trios last year of school, to everyone's amassment. The dates had been nothing big, usually just dinner and a movie, or pizza at one or the others apartment, but it was still better then what everyone else had to live thought when they were still in school.

Ron nods before answering, shuffling some paper on his own desk "Any idea where he may go this time?"

Harry shakes his head with a soft sigh "Nope, he is getting trickier and trickier ever time he does this disappearing act!

Ron pushes away form his desk rolling part way to Harry's, once he stops he notices something on Harry's desk and picks it up giving it a soft shake "Now who did you get this lovely gift from?"

Looks up from the paper on is desk for a moment, lowering it away before answering "Most likely that Elizabeth girl, and not to be mean or anything but she only likes me because I'm "Harry Potter!"

Slowly undoing the boxes Ron replied "Yea, but she's hot!"

Giving a small laugh Harry replies "Better not let Hermione hear you say that, where is she anyway?"

"At one of her "Meeting things" Ron says while looking at whats inside the newly open box.

"Hey that's mine!" Harry says reaching over and snatching it away from Ron with a laugh

She waited, like she always does, till he passes her door before looking up from her work and out the door with a small sigh. She has had a crush on Harry Potter for a long time now, since seeing him on the plate form for the train to Hogwarts she guesses. It's not one of those crushes just because he is famous, no. She could care less about hearing his stories over and over again, especially the last one, about how he defeated "He who must not be named." She figured that he didn't always want to talk about those things, well that's what it seemed like during the school year.

She sighs and goes back to looking over the report in front of her, it was a bout a little kid that had gone missing from the front of her house. She was looking at the statement that the mother had made and all the interviews that she and others working for her had done on anyone who might know what could have happened to this little girl. None of the effort had seemed to be for any good yet though, for nothing had come up. She picks up her cup of hot chocolate and slowly brings it to her lips taking a long sip still looking over the papers. She didn't realize it but her secretary had walked into the room and was standing before her.

"Mrs. Walter is hear to see you!" Susan stated.

Julia looks up slowly and replies "Send her in then please!"

Julia had two kinds of secretaries working for her, will they worked for the Ministry of Magic and Julia needed the help right now. It's kind of hard to believe they really know what they are doing, they are more beauty then brains.

Susan left the room and Mrs. Walter entered "Do you have any leads on finding my child yet?"

Julia stands up and walks around her desk towards Mrs. Walters "Not yet, none of the leads we had looked into had brought up anything, everyone seems to had an alibi and no one seems to have seen Sara that day!"

Takes a small step forward "Are you saying that I'm lying about my own child? Mrs. Walter asks.

Julia walks around Mrs. Walters and closes the door and the offers her the sit in front of her desk before she herself returns to her sit "I'm not saying that you are lying Mrs. Walter,' she says 'just that none of the people you thought might have her, have her is there anyone else that we can try."

Thinks for a moment then shakes her head "Not that I can think of right now, I just want my baby back!" she says

Julia leans forward onto her desk 'Yes I know, now you go home and rest and you call me if you think of anything!"

Nodding Mrs. Walters gets up and Julia walks with her to the door saying Good Bye Julia watches her walk away with a sad look on her face before closing the door again and returning to her desk.
