Chapter 1:

Good News in the Morning Prophet, and Quidditch.

Harry woke on a bright, sunny morning, and headed down for breakfast. When he got to the kitchen of Number 12 Grimmauld Place, noticed the Daily Prophet, on the table. As he walks to the table to sit down, someone else enters the kitchen, and speaks to Harry in a toad-like voice.

"Master, would you like anything for breakfast?" asked the voice. Harry looks up in surprise. It's obvious that he didn't hear him enter.

"Oh, yes," said Harry, "thanks, Kreacher." Harry continued to look at the Daily Prophet. At the bottom of the page was an article that caught Harry's eye. Harry read the article with excitement.

Shacklebolt Resigns: Weasley named Minister of Magic.

Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic at the time of the Battle of Hogwarts, has resigned his post, due to an illness. In an interview, Shcklebolt stated, "As much as I would like to keep my post, I must resign. I am due for an appointment at St.Mungo's Hospital, tomorrow morning. So in my place I will name Arthur Weasley, head of the Department of Muggle Artifacts, as the new Minister." When asked why he chose Arthur as his Successor, he stated, "I can think of no one better. Arthur has been with the Ministry for many years, and, was a valuable member of the Order of the Phoenix, and I think he is the perfect person for the job." Arthur Weasley was interviewed as well. When asked about the promotion Arthur Weasley said, "I am very honored to be promoted to Minister of Magic. I will do my best to make sure Magical Law is carried out through the world." When asked about the past events Arthur stated, "It has already been a year since Harry Potter defeated Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts. Yes, we lost many friends in that battle, but the world will always remember them, as true heroes for fighting against the Dark Lord. The Ministry has recently communicated with the Creevey family, whose son Colin, was lost in the Battle. They said they are very proud of him for standing up for what he believed in, and would like his ghost to stay at Hogwarts." Arthur also had a couple of comments about Hogwarts this year, "Hogwarts will be starting again soon, and I can think of no one better to be the Headmistress, than Minerva McGonagal. I will try to reach her to ask if she will accept the position. We are in the process of finding new teachers for Hogwarts. Teachers will be needed for, Muggle Studies, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Transfiguration (if Minerva takes the Headmistress position, that is)." We will let you know on more information about Hogwarts in later issues.

Harry looks up from the paper and looks over at Kreacher who is bringing Harry his food. "Here you are, Master." Harry took the plate from him, "Thanks, Kreacher. I have to talk to the Weasley family to congratulate them on the recent promotion. Maybe I can talk to Ron, and Hermione about something I've been wanting to talk to them about. I will go to the Weasley house and talk to them, then I will invite Ron, and Hermione over and I will talk to them." After breakfast Harry went upstairs, got changed, and left the house. When he was on the front porch he Apparated. He appeared in the yard of the Burrow. As soon as he got to the door, it opened and Molly Weasley, was standing in the doorway.

"Hello Harry, dear." She said, hugging Harry tightly. "Hello, Mrs. Weasley," replied Harry. "I read about Mr. Weasley, in the Prophet this morning." "I know," said Mrs. Weasley, "isn't it wonderful?" Molly leads Harry into the kitchen, where the Weasley's are having breakfast. "Hello, Harry." said Arthur. "Hello, Mr. Weasley." replied Harry "Congratulations, I read the news this morning. That is wonderful."

"Thank you, Harry." Said Mr. Weasley. "I was shocked myself when Kingsley told me. I thought he was kidding, but he assured me that he was serious." Harry looked across the table to Ron, "Hey, Ron." said Harry. "Hey, mate." replied Ron. "Did you hear what dad plans to do as Minister?"

"No." answered Harry. Ron looked over at his dad. "Tell him, dad." He said.

"I'm going to create my own Quidditch Team." Arthur said. "With you as the captain, Harry." Harry looked at him with a look of shock. "Me? Are you sure? Why Me?"

"Yes, Harry, you. You are a great Quidditch player, and the world needs to see you in action." Arthur told him. "But I've only been the captain of a Hogwarts team. I don't know how to captain a professional team." said Harry. "Relax, Harry. You'll do fine." said Ron, "Besides, and can't be much different, can it." Harry looked around the table, Fred, Percy, Ginny, Arthur, Molly, and Ron were all looking at him hopefully. "Ok. Fine I'll do it." He said. "Yes, thank you Harry." said Arthur.

"What is the name of the team?" asked Harry, looking around the table. "I will let you decide that, captain." Said Arthur. "Now, do you know anyone who will try out for the team?" Harry looked at the Weasley's. "Fred, would you like to try out to be a Beater?"

Fred looked at him. "I don't know, it won't be the same without George. And I have Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, too. Oh, I will try out." Harry nodded and looked at Ron. "Ron, will you try out to be the Keeper.?" Ron looked surprised. "Really? You want me to try out for your team?" Harry nodded. "Ok. I'll do it." Ron said.

After a few hours of visiting, Harry left, and went back to his house, to think of a team name. After awhile of thinking he came up with a couple of choices: The Burrow Bears, The Potter Peacekeepers, and The Hogwarts Hippogriffs. He wrote a letter to Mr. Weasley:

Mr. Weasley,

I have thought of three names for the Quidditch Team: The Burrow Bears, The Potter Peacekeepers, and The Hogwarts Hippogriffs. Tell me which one I should go with.

Harry.

After he finished the letter he had Kreacher take it to Arthur. Then he went to bed. In the morning, Harry went downstairs, and saw the Daily Prophet on the table. He picked it up and on the bottom of the first page, saw another exciting article.

Arthur Weasley, Minister of Magic, Starts New Quidditch Team.

Arthur Weasley, has decided to start a new Quidditch Team. The Team will be captained by none other than the famous Harry Potter. The name for the team is still being discussed. Tryouts for the team will be held on the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch. For information on tryouts contact Harry Potter or Arthur Weasley.

Harry put down the Daily Prophet and ate his breakfast. Then he walked over to his fireplace, grabbed a hand full of floo powder, stepped into the fireplace, threw down the powder, and shouted "The Burrow!"

The Weasley's were sitting around the table, when they heard something in the fireplace. "What is that?" asked Arthur. Getting up and walking to the fireplace. "I don't know," said Molly. "maybe the goblin." Then Harry comes out of the fireplace. "Harry!" exclaimed Arthur. "Hello, I got your letter last night. Those are some good ideas for names, but which one should we use?" Just then Ron, and George came down the stairs. "Oh, hello Harry," said Ron. "dad showed us the names you thought of. Pretty good mate." "Yeah," said Fred," now we can all be Potters." "But we haven't decided on a name yet." Said Arthur. "Oh, right." Said Fred. "Well you guys know what I'm hoping for then."

"Anyway, Harry, why are you here?" asked Ron, sitting down at the table. "I was just about to go to Diagon Alley, but I decided to come here first to see if you wanted to go." Said Harry. "Yeah, sure. I'll go." Ron replied. "Ok, let's go." Said Harry. "Ok, I'll be back soon, mum." Said Ron, getting up from the table. "No you won't, 'cause you're going to be with Harry." Said Molly. "I know how you two are." "Ok, fine." Said Ron. "I will probably stat with for a few days. Is that better?" "That's fine." Said Molly, giving him a hug. "See you later, Ron, Harry." Said George. "Bye." Said Harry and Ron together.

When they get outside Harry stops in the middle of the yard. "We have to go get Hermione, too." He said. "Ok. Fine." Said Ron. And then they both apparated.
