Hey guys! Sorry for updating later than usual but it's still Wednesday :) I know this chapter had a really crap title but whatever. Hope you enjoy it all the same.


Setting things in motion

Harry put down the final book he had set himself to read. He and Ginny had been coming to Potter mansion and staying the day for the past month. They would have liked to just move in but Harry still didn't want anyone other than Ginny about the place and there was also Teddy. So to avoid too much suspicion they had just came to spend the day, leaving Teddy with Molly.
"Well I don't think my brain could contain any more information without it exploding." Harry exclaimed.
"Me too." Ginny agreed.
"I think we're ready to go to Kingsley and tell him we want to help re build Hogwarts." Harry said.
"Yeah, let's go then." Ginny said. Just before they apperated away Flame appeared in the library.
"Is Harry and Ginny leaving already?" he asked.
"Yeah." Harry said, "We have been here all day, though." He reasoned.
"Will you be back tomorrow?" Flame asked.
"Oh, I don't know flame." Ginny answered.
"We might be at Hogwarts, helping to rebuild it." Harry finished.
"Oh, alright then. Flame and the others will keep care of potter mansion." Flame said.
"You always do such a good job." Harry complemented.
"Thank you, Harry." Flame said.
"Bye, then." Ginny said, taking Harry's hand to apperated back to the burrow just in time for tea.
Molly was just setting the table for tea when the arrived in the Weasley's kitchen, helped by Ron and Hermione.
"Oh you're back." Molly said with a smile. "George has Teddy in the living room, you might want to go and get him."
"Alright, thanks Molly." Harry said, making his way to the sitting room along with Ginny.
"And the love birds return." George announced as they walked into the room, Teddy bashing him on the side of his head where his ear should have been.
"Hey! Hey, don't do that, Ted!" Harry scolded, taking the blue haired toddler into his arms.
"Thanks, George." Ginny said.
"No problem." He said, "Kid's got potential."
"Great. Just what I need, a prankster for a god son." Harry complained light heartedly.
"Dinner!" Molly shouted, bringing their conversation with George to an end.
Dinner went like it always did. Hermione had been living at the Burrow for the last couple weeks but planned to go and stay with her parents who had recently been returned from Australia by some aurors. George was getting better and better by the day, though you could still catch the empty look in his eye. Harry and Ginny remained quiet, redirecting all the questions the others asked them about where they'd been, claiming to have gone to diagon alley and Gringotts, still looking into Harry's family history. Luckily the elves had told them a lot about Harry's ancestry and so they didn't come up empty handed when they were asked what they had found out so far.

The next day Harry and Ginny left for the Ministry early in the morning; leaving themselves just enough time to get a slice of toast and a goblet of pumpkin juice.
"What's the rush?" Molly asked when Harry handed Teddy over to her.
"We've got something to tell Kingsley." Harry explained. Molly looked like she wanted to ask more questions but Harry and Ginny had flooed to the ministry before she got chance to ask.
"Do you know where Kingsley's office is?" Harry asked.
"No." Ginny admitted.
"Oh… Let's go ask at the desk." Harry said. They walked over to the reception desk. The lobby of the ministry was now without a statue, the horrible statue that had sprung up in the middle of Voldemort's power had been publicly ripped down. The witch behind the desk wasn't paying any attention to anything, she was just sat twirling her wand in her hand with a bored expression.
"Excuse me?" Harry tried to get her attention.
"Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute." She said, trying to look busy with some paper. Ginny cleared her throat and the witch looked up and looked as if she was about to have a heart attack. "Merlin's beard, You're Harry Potter!" She cried.
"Oh, I can't take you anywhere!" Ginny complained, jokingly.
Harry looked at the floor in embarrassment, the witch behind the counter changed her body language so Ginny got the impression she was trying to hit on him. Harry noticed Ginny's expression hardening then noticed she felt threatened by this witch. Silly of her, really. He took Ginny's hand and squeezed it reassuringly; her expression softened.
"How can I help you?" The witch asked.
"We're here to see Kingsley shacklebolt." Harry told her.
"Do you have an appointment?" She asked, and then seemed to remember who she was talking to, "You know what, considering who you are I don't think it'll be too much trouble, come with me."
"Ugh… Thanks." Harry told her awkwardly. The receptionist led them through a few hallways and up 5 floors until they reached shacklebolt's office. She knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Kingsly asked. The witch walked in to the office.
"Harry Potter, sir." She announced.
"Oh, Harry. How can I help you?" he asked.
Harry and Ginny walked into the office and the receptionist left them. "Um. I wondered if it would be okay if Ginny and I help with the rebuild of Hogwarts."
"Oh?"
"We um…"Harry stuttered and then decided since Kingsley was the minister of magic, if only temporarily, he should tell him, "I found some things in my family vault; they led me to um… Potter mansion."
"Go on." Kingsley urged.
"Well it had quite an extensive library and a training room. Ginny and I have done some reading and put the spells to the test. We believe it could really help speed up the cleanup process." Harry explained.
"Very well." Kingsley said, "When can you start?"
Harry and Ginny looked at each other, dumbstruck. They were expecting forms and permission from parents- Ginny was still underage- They weren't expecting immediate acceptance.
"Uh, as soon as you want, I suppose." Harry said.
"Wonderful, here I'll make you a port key and you can join the people already there. Tell them I put you in charge of the rebuild. Out of all of us, if nobody else, you can fix Hogwarts." Kingsley said.
"Oh I don't know." Harry said.
"Always so modest!" he exclaimed, "Harry, You're the most powerful wizard of our age."
