Disclaimer: This multi-chapter fic is brought to you by me, Mists. I in no way own Harry Potter, this story is written for laughs. It was inspired by the fact that J.K. Rowling said the trio, later in life, would work to help "reform" the Ministry of Magic. And somehow…I think their track record at causing mischief at Hogwarts would transfer over to the Ministry as well…

So I am now happy to present:

-Ministry Misadventures-

By: Mists

-Surprise!-

-Kingsley's POV-

It had been a relatively quiet day in the Ministry of Magic. Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt was just finishing up some paperwork on that cool September night, when he heard a commotion from coming down the hall.

Curious, Kingsley laid down his quill and straightened his stack of papers. After he had corked his ink bottle, he got up and moved quietly toward the door. He pressed his ear to the thick wood and listened carefully.

Scuffle like noises could be heard on the other side.

Kingsley frowned at this, how had someone gotten past security so easily? Since the time of Voldemort, he and the rest of his team strove to make the Ministry as safe, if not safer than Gringotts itself.

But as he tensely listened at the door, he was beginning to think they may not have done as good as a job as he thought.

In one swift motion, he drew his wand and threw open the door. He quickly assessed the situation. No one was in the hall…only a single light was lit…and it was coming from the Magical Law Office.

"Is somebody trying to steal the files?" he wondered as the auror made his way down the hall.

Suddenly, Kingsley heard muffled struggling coming from within the office as he approached.

Quickly, he pressed himself against the wall and caught the sound of two voices inside.

"Oi! No way, you're coming with us."

"You're not getting out of this, so just stop struggling."

Kingsley could hear a woman's muffled voice as well.

"Hermione," he instantly thought.

This was bad.

Whoever these two were, they somehow got the drop on Hermione.

No one got the drop on Hermione Granger-Weasley.

Kingsley the carefully leaned forward and glanced through the crack in the door.

There were two men with her, cloaked in black robes. Hermione had somehow been hit with a full body bind curse. The black threads encased her entire form, from her mouth to her toes. The two kidnappers were just about to lift her off the ground and make their escape when he had arrived.

Their backs were turned toward the door.

Now was his chance.

Kingsley burst through the door and struck both men down with the same binding spell they had used on Hermione. And both fell to the floor, before they could even blink.

The Minister stepped over the two men as they wiggled helplessly and released Hermione from the black ropes.

"Hermione! Are you all right?" exclaimed Kinsley as he removed the last of the ropes from her mouth.

"Oh no! Oh sir, I'm so sorry I involved you in this!" said Hermione as she covered her red face in shame.

"I don't know what's going on, Hermione, but it's quite all right. Whatever it is, you're safe now and that's all that matters." said the Minister as he turned back to look at Hermione's assailants.

"What the? Have Ron and Harry been kidnapped as well?" asked Kingsley as he saw that her attackers had taken on the appearance of Harry and Ron, his heads of the Auror Department.

Kingsley grabbed the one who looked like Ron up by the hair, "You both polyjuiced into them didn't you?"

The fake Ron groaned and rolled his eyes staring angrily in Hermione's direction.

"See!" screeched Hermione, "You two couldn't just leave me well enough alone! And now we're all going to get fired and it's all your faults!"

Kingsley stared at Hermione completely perplexed and then looked back at the clearly annoyed faces of the two men he had captured.

"Are- are you telling me that these two are really them?"

The prone form of Harry Potter, nodded his head in confirmation.

Kingsley rubbed his eyes as hard as he could as he released to two from his curse.

"Thank you, sir. Sorry you had to find out about this…." said Harry as he blindly searched around for his glasses.

"Well I did. Now will one of you please explain exactly why you were trying to kidnap Hermione from her office?" asked Kingsley as he crossed his arms and waited for an explanation.

"I believe, I can answer that, sir," said Ron as he handed a very grateful Harry his missing glasses.

Ron dusted himself off as he continued, "You see my lovely, hardworking wife here has been working late for the last three days-"

"It's a very important case Ronald!" exclaimed the wild haired woman now sitting at her desk.

"I don't care. Today is the nineteenth! And come hell or high water, Harry and I weren't going to let her work all night on her BIRTHDAY!"

Harry nodded his head confirmation as Ron helped him up, "She just wouldn't leave, sir. And we were quite prepared to take her out tonight and get her nice and drunk, to forget about work. But she sent us an owl, saying she had decided to work late….AGAIN."

Kingsley shook his head trying to follow this, "So…you two decided to come here, kidnap her…and make her relax on her birthday…."

"Right," said Harry and Ron as they nodded in agreement.

"Well it won't matter if we go out now, anyway!" exclaimed Hermione frantically, "We're all certainly fired for sure! Well…I'd better prepare this case for my replacement then, so if you all would just kindly leave…"

Hermione then picked up a fresh sheet paper from the large pile next to her desk and began to write.

Both Ron and Harry gave Kingsley a look that said, "Now do you see why we had to resort to this?"

Kingsley let lose a tired sigh, he was getting too old for this.

"Nobody is going to be fired, Hermione." said Kingsley as he gestured to the boys to carry on, "Take her away, boys. She needs to let loose."

"What?" exclaimed a frazzled Hermione as an ecstatic Ron and Harry whooped for joy.

"Hermione, tomorrow's the weekend. Live a little will you?" said Kingsley as Harry and Ron hoisted her up by her arms out of her seat and through door.

Kingsley called to them as they made their way down the hall, "You two make sure she has a lot of fun, and take off Monday you three, all of you deserve it!"

"Will do!" cried Harry as he and Ron shoved Hermione into the nearest fireplace to floo to The Leaky Calderon and have one heck of a night.

Kingsley laughed merrily thinking about how nice it would be to be young again. With a flick of his wand he straightened Hermione's office and closed the door.

One thing he could say about having those three in the Ministry was that there was never a dull moment when they were around.
