The next couple days went in a haze. People he'd never met, came up to Harry and talked to him about defeating 'He who must not be named', but everything they said just washed over him.
The hardest part of the week was Fred, Tonks and Remus's funerals. The best part of the week was the fact that it made Harry and Ginny closer, she never left his side that week and for that he was eternally grateful.
"Harry, are you ready to go?" Ginny asked him.
It was the day that everyone was going home, and Harry was sat in the Gryffindor Common Room in front of the fire.
"Yeah" Harry was going to stay at the Weasleys house, this was after being shouted down by Mrs Weasley. He had said, that he was going to get a place of his own as he was going to start working as an Auror at the Ministry, but Mrs Weasley wanted her family around her for as long as possible and as far as she was concerned Harry was family.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione dinner!" shouted Mrs Weasley up from the Kitchen.
"Do you know when Minister is getting here?" Hermione asked the two of them as the walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.
"I don't know" Ron said looking at Harry for help
"I think that he said he was going to try and come over in the next week or so but I'm not really sure" guessed Harry
"Come on you lot, dinner's getting cold" said Mrs Weasley
Mrs Weasley had out done herself again, the meal was biggest dinner for the whole family that Harry had seen.
"Oh Harry, Head Auror Roberts, has been asking about you and is wondering when you're going to take the test to become an Auror, he really wants you on his team" Mr Weasley said looking up from the Daily Potter that he was reading on the other side of the table.
"What? When did you talk to an Auror? Is that the one who took on seven Death Eaters at once?" Ron asked.
"He came up to me just before I left to come here, and asked me if I wanted to become an Auror" said Harry
"And Ron, he's not just the Auror who took on seven Death Eaters at once, he's done so much more than that" Mr Weasley said with pride
"He's a legend" Ron said cutting across his father and gazing into the distance
The conversion until bedtime turned to how Harry would be working with the best Auror in the business and Ron asked Harry if maybe he'd introduce him.
The next morning Harry left for the Ministry with Mr Weasley but before he did that he went to find Ron, Ginny and Hermione. He found them sat on the beds in Ron's room.
"I'm just heading off to the Ministry, and wanted to say bye before I left".
Ginny got up and kissed him on the cheek, hugged him then sat back down on the bed opposite Ron.
"Hope you don't mind if I don't kiss you mate" Ron said with a broad grin on his face "see you later mate you'll be great".
Hermione said "Goodbye, see you later when you return as a fully qualified Auror" she started to laugh and waved goodbye.
"See you later then" Harry said as he left the room.
When Harry and Mr Weasley entered at the Ministry, there was a buzz of excitement which increased in pitch the further they got into the building .
Mr Weasley led Harry towards the lifts and they made their way down towards the Auror Headquarters. As they neared the opening to the headquarters Harry had a sudden feeling of belonging, that he was home and this was the job for him. As Harry waved goodbye to Mr Weasley and made his way to the top of the hall (where he knew that Auror Roberts's room was) he suddenly saw three men came out of door to his left and he recognized one of them as Rockwood.
"Hi, there" one of the Auror's said to Harry "You must be Harry, Auror Roberts is in his room down the hall, last door on your right"
"Thanks err" Harry looked at the Auror
"Oh, my name is Gregory Thompson, and hopefully I'll be seeing a lot of you. Oh yeah, call me Greg, hate my name, I do"
"Right, thanks, see you later then Greg" Harry said, he then turned and continued to walk down the hall toward an interview that could change his life, forever.
