Chapter 2: The Glorious Life of an Auror
(Harry's POV)
I groaned as I collapsed into the couch. I had just spent a ridiculous amount of time questioning a Bulgarian Wizard about the location of several death eaters that we thought he had smuggled out of the country. Turns out, the poor bloke was exporting grandfather clocks! I saw Ginny come into the room and motioned for her to come over.
"Tell me again," I said as I pulled her into my arms. "Why did I decide to enter the glorious life of an auror?"
"Well," Ginny said, appearing to be seriously thinking about this. "Could it be that you wanted to help people?"
"Oh yea, helping people," I grumbled. "I forgot about that when I arrested a man today for exporting clocks! I didn't understand a single word he said all day, all he spoke was bloody Bulgarian! Why does Kingsley always make me deal with the foreigners?"
"Wait, let me guess," I interrupted when I saw Ginny open her mouth to answer me. "I'm a famous, talented wizard who happens to be the head of the auror department, so Kingsley gives all of the delicate foreign matters to me to deal with."
"You're no fun!" Ginny pouted. "If you insist on asking the same questions every day, at least let me answer them! If you already know what I'm gonna say, then don't ask!"
"Are you done?" I asked when she finished her lecture. Ginny thought about it for a second and then nodded. So I grabbed her even tighter and brought our lips together for a very deep and passionate kiss. Ginny seemed to enjoy it, that is until she smacked the back of my head.
"Oi!" I yelled, clutching my head. "What was that for?"
"You idiot," Ginny yelled back. "What if one of the kids walked in?"
"Where are the kids?"
"My mother's."
"So why are we just standing here when we finally have some alone time?"
I didn't let her answer. I swooped Ginny up in my arms and carried her upstairs to our room. As I went to lay her down, I noticed an owl sitting on the windowsill.
"What the hell does Kingsley want now?" I cried as I dropped Ginny onto our bed and made my way to the window. The owl must have picked up on my anger, because it flew away as soon as I grabbed the letter.
"Sorry honey," I sighed as I finished reading the note. "Some emergency has come up at work and Kingsley only trusts me with the situation."
"Damn it," Ginny said, rolling onto the floor. "This is the first alone time we've had in weeks! What does he need you for? Not another foreign relations crisis?"
"Yea, it is," I said as I pulled on a nice set of robes. "It doesn't say much about it other than it involves some Americans – thank God, some English speakers finally! – and that it's something for McGonagall. They better not be sending me out to recruit some bright, new, magical prodigy."
I finished getting ready as Ginny looked on in sympathy. She knows I hate it when Kingsley and/or McGonagall use my fame for their own reasons, no matter how good those reasons are. I crossed the room and gave Ginny a good-bye kiss.
"I shouldn't be gone very long, and when I get back," I smiled. "How about we pick up where we left off?"
"Oh," Ginny grinned. "That sounds…"
"Mom! Dad! We're home!" I heard James yell as he entered the kitchen
"It sounds like it's not going to happen." Ginny sighed.
I looked at her. "Why did we have kids again?"
Ginny thought for a second. "You know, I really can't remember."
I smiled, kissed her one last time and left to find out what errand Kingsley wanted me to run now, not knowing the this errand would change my life, and my family's life forever.
'Kay that's Chapter two! Hope everyone enjoyed it! Chapter 3 is already written, and it's about double the length as the first two. I just have to type it up, and then we're good to go!
