Some Like it Hot
Chapter 1: New Beginnings
Harry Potter graduated from Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry, with his best friend Ron Weasley and became Aurors for the Ministry of Magic. Harry and Ron were both the most unorthodox Aurors in their department, which is why they have not been able climb the ladder as fast as Ron's little sister Ginevera Weasley, most commonly referred to as Ginny Weasley. Harry and Ron would often sneak off to a plot of land where some terrorists called Death Eaters would often meet up, even though they have not been heard from for at least 20 years, the leader called Lord Voldemort was rumored dead but somehow he has been resurrected. Ginny was not aware of their whereabouts most of the time.
Harry and Ron apparated a mile away from the rendezvous point and slowly snuck through the forest and saw a group of hooded men with mask shaped like a skull. The only man without a hood or mask was a man with a serpent like head, Harry assumed this was Voldemort.
"Tonight is the night we have been waiting for, the night we have ousted after for 19 years! My knights no mudblood will be safe tonight, they will learn where they belong and soon the world will be rid of this disgusting race that has plagued the wizarding world for centuries!" After the leader said that the followers all cheered in happiness but one. Voldemort raised his bald head toward the follower how did not cheer, without warning the man lifted his wand and a red light emitted from the tip causing follower to drop on the ground seizing and screaming in pain. After at least ten minutes Voldemort released the spell but it seemed to be to late for the seizing man.
"Next time you will cheer Malfoy! Or I won't be so lenient next time." He snickered. Ron moved closer so he could hear better but as he did he stepped on a branch causing all the Death Eaters to turn their heads towards them. Harry slowly backed away silently wishing he had some sort of invisibility cloaking device while cursing Ron. As the Death Eaters neared both men they laughed at the Auror's scared faces as they surrounded them.
"Well, well if it isn't Potter and his little freckled friend!" Voldemort laughed nasally, all the Death Eaters laughed along this time. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley gaped at the Death Eaters and their leader in horror. Not knowing what to do Harry aimed a stupify at the gang's leader and the duo ran out of Voldemort's sight whilst he was distracted and barely got far enough away to apparate away from the terrorists. When they made it to the safety of the Auror Department.
"Harry James Potter and Ronald Bilius Weasley! How dare you guys go on a bloody unauthorized mission to spy on bleeding Death Eaters you daft gits!" It was safe to say Ginny was scared for her friend and brother and also extremely enraged at them.
"Ginny we c-," Harry was cut off by Ginny.
"It is Miss. Weasley to you Potter," she said sounding more upset with each passing word, "I am not going to deal with this rubbish anymore, I have gotten more complaints than approval for your stupidity, not to mention how many galleons we have spent fixing everything you guys damage."
"Mis-!"
"And that is why I have no other choice but to fire you guys, effective immediately." With that last statement Ron and Harry froze inn shock hoping to God their ears have deceived them. After the high of the war has died people have been down on luck along with the wizarding economy, people have lost their jobs, people with the highest medical degree are out on the streets begging for a sickle, not to mention the ban on alcohol due to they rise of alcoholics, it is the closest the wizarding community will understand muggles during their lowest.
Two weeks after being fired the duo were not entirely sure what to do about the job situation they have come across. Ron casually dug into his pockets until his eyes widened at the two galleons he had in his pocket and turned to Harry abruptly, "Harry! We have two galleons you know what that means!"
"We can have a final proper meal before going to live on the streets and going into deep depression?" Harry said bleakly.
"No... What's wrong with you mate? I meant we could bet on the next hippogrif race and get four times returned!" Ron looked like he just found clarity.
"First of all what happens if we get nothing back in return? Then we won't even have a last meal." Harry said looking super upset as he rubbed his scar.
"Have faith, my brother! With your luck and my charisma we will be fine." Ron gave Harry a reassuring smile and Harry reluctantly nodded his approval. Ron skipped away to the nearest hippogrif racetrack leaving Harry trailing behind Ron.
"You stupid idiot!" Harry screamed at Ron, his face is as red as his friend's hair, "I can't believe I trusted you with all the money we have only for you to gamble it away!"
"I'm sorry!" Ron said also upset at how stupid he was.
"Well, you remember Cho, my old girlfriend from Hogwarts?" He said eyes brightening with every word.
"Yeah, what about her?" He said not understanding what was so significant about her.
"Well she now works at the Wizarding Unemployment Agency! I'm sure if I talk her up a bit she will at least point us to a decent place that's hiring. HA! It just might work!" Harry grabbed Ron's arm and apparated in front of the agency and rushed into the building. The building was rather large with basic glass doors leading to the main area entering the main level with white tiled floors and marbled walls, three elevators on the right side and the receptionist in the middle with a line of aggravated looking people. The receptionist was obviously ignoring the person in front of her, Harry decided that he could sneak past the line and go into the elevator but right as soon as Ron pressed the button the receptionist stood up and told the duo to go to the back of the line.
"Oh you don't understand I just came to see my girlfriend, Cho Chang!" Harry said hoping the receptionist would not detect the lie. She pondered it for a bit.
"Why not, you are much better looking than that Diggory guy, she is on level 3." Harry chuckled at that remark and went up. As soon as the elevator opened and he scanned the room littered with desks in front of doors, finally Harry saw Cho. He strutted up to her and cleared his throat so she would look up from her paperwork. She looked up and automatically her eyes narrowed at him, "What do you want?"
"Aw don't be like that! I'm just being friendly." He said mustering his most charming smile.
"Friendly would be calling me and not avoiding me like the plague after screwing me Potter!" Harry flinched at that remark but plastered his smile back on.
"Oh darling, I was young and I have changed, I would take you out for lunch but I have this job issue... The issue is I don't have one." After Harry said that Cho looked up with a twinkle in her eye but her face remained blank.
"Oh is that all? Well there is this one opening... its for a bassist and saxophonist. You guys still play right?"
"Yeah, we still play, after that experimental year when Dumbledore made us learn an instrument Mrs. Weasely made us play for her every holiday break. So we still have practice." Harry shrugged at Ron who nodded in return.
"Okay then, head into the room to my right then."
