Chapter nine

Ron got up and stood at the door to Harry's office, then everyone stood behind him, watching Harry repairing the room.

'Don't say anything,' Harry said as he kept repairing the damage to everything, the desk was crumpled on the floor, the book shelves were also broken, pretty much everything was wrecked.

'Couldn't you have waited till you got home?' Cho asked but kept chuckling.

'No, that's another thing with this Morphixen, it takes over and you just have to mate, or shag, whatever you want to call it.' Harry handed Ron his robes, 'Thanks, it's good I keep more clothes here.'

'Harry, Terry and I were talking, how you and Charlie sensed he had a dark mark. What if someone didn't have a mark but were strong supporters of the dark arts?' Michael asked.

'I could sense it, even if it's just their thoughts about anything dark. Is there a reason you wanted to know?'

'Yeah, what if you got permission to go through every department? We know it would take a long time, but imagine if you could. You'd find anyone that either had the mark or was into dark magic.'

'Not bad Michael, I'll put a request into the minister, see what he has to say. The department of mysteries will be the hardest though; they don't like anyone in there.'

'Excuse me,' a tall woman asked from behind the group.

'Yes, can I help you?' Harry asked.

'I'm Jessy Carpenter, the minister asked me about becoming an auror, told me to speak with you Mr. Potter.'

'Oh right, come on in and we'll sort everything out. Ron have you lot decided who's going to partner who because with Jessy here, that will make teams of two unless I join you?'

'Yeah, Michael and Terry, Ernie and Parvati, Cho and Seamus, I was thinking of partnering you like we talked about.'

'Well for now you'll be officially partnered with Jessy but I will be out with all of you as well, so maybe I'll just go with random pairs for now. So Ernie and Parvati, go do that check in Hogsmeade, Cho and Seamus, the one over in Briantspuddle. Michael, Terry and Ron, work on the information for that blokes trial for now and I'll be out with Jessy soon.'

'Yes boss,' they all said together making them all laugh including Harry who shut the door ready for his meeting with the new auror.

'You're not from England, I noticed you have an accent.'

'I'm Australian, I came over when I heard Voldemort was taking over, I have family here so I wanted to help.'

'A very brave thing to do, which means you will make a great auror. Just so you know, all of them out there, we're all friends, went to school together, fought the war together and had our own group call the DA when we were fifteen, it was so we could be ready to fight. Their all great people and you'll get to know them, just try not to feel left out if they talk about things you might not understand.'

'I'm sure I'll be fine and eventually fit in. If you don't mind me asking though, did the minister give you the job as head because you killed Voldemort?'

'One reason, but that's not the main one. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of a Morphixen?'

'Yes, I remember reading up on them when I was at school.'

'Well I'm one, I become a dragon. I was having lunch with everyone including my partner Charlie when we sensed someone with a dark mark. He's now locked up.'

'Right, so you can sense danger, anything dark, it makes sense now and with your experience with Voldemort as his death eaters, you are the best person to run such an important office.'

'Thanks, now if you take these forms, fill them out and I'll lodge them with our personnel office. I'll show you to your desk, and welcome to the aurors,' Harry shook her hand, grabbed a set of robes, waited until Jessy put them on then headed out and pointed to the empty desk. The last three aurors all introduced themselves to Jessy and sat there talking to her and getting to know their new work colleague.

Harry filled out the request to go through the other departments, then thought he'd mention it to Charlie. Their connection was stronger when they were holding each other, so maybe Kingsley could give them both permission to go through every department.

Harry kept thinking about what Charlie said about a shop and hoped he would let Harry fund it even if he wanted to pay it back, Harry didn't care as long as Charlie got to do what he wanted.

'I'm going to file that request, I've put on it Michael Corner and Terry Boot so he knows that it was both you that came up with the idea.'

'Looks like you don't need to go anywhere, the minister is here.' Ron grinned.

'I was just going to see you Kingsley, sorry, Minister, I'll get there.'

Kingsley laughed, 'It's fine Harry, we had to get used to it when Rufus was made minister, you will as well. So what were you coming to see me about?'

Harry handed the form to the minister, 'Michael and Terry had the idea, I think it's worth considering.'

'I could probably approve you Harry; you're employed by the ministry. But I don't think I could approve Charlie.'

'I wasn't sure if you could or not, it was just an idea. I can still sense it without Charlie, he just makes it stronger.'

'I know, but I will approve you and the aurors to go through every department,' Kingsley took a quill of Ron's desk and signed the form, 'Now I'll have to speak with the department of mysteries. As you know, they don't let anyone in there. But I do know some of the workers and they have been concerned about whether they have any supporters in their department.'

'What is your opinion on whether they will let us or not?'

'I think they will Harry, word spread quickly about Saxon. How he was a death eater and you caught him while having lunch, including you turning into a dragon and Charlie, well they didn't know who Charlie was, but he turned into a stag.'

'You should have seen these two when they came back here,' Ron chuckled, 'They destroyed Harry's office.'

'You're still having trouble controlling that part of the Morphixen?'

'Especially when there's danger around, but I think I could have controlled it, Charlie couldn't. Oh Minister, Jessy's here.'

'Sorry I didn't noticed you before Jessy, it's good to see you.'

'It's nice to see you again Minister.'

'I meet Jessy as she was fighting a death eater; I gave her a hand, which she didn't need. Then she explained what she was doing here in England. A lot of people were running away, she deliberately came here to help fight Voldemort and his death eaters.'

'Brave woman,' Terry grinned at Jessy, 'We were right in the middle of it and because we all knew Harry, we wanted to help.'

'Not to mention Harry always was the one Voldemort kept trying to kill,' Ron said, 'So being friends with him, we were all involved.'

'Like everyone, we've all heard the name Harry Potter, survived the killing curse as a baby. But why was he always trying to kill you, if you don't mind me asking?'

Kingsley noticed Harry looked uncomfortable, 'Harry hates talking about himself, so I will explain. First there was a prophecy, it was basically Harry or Voldemort would kill the other one. Voldemort only heard the first part about a boy born at the end of July that could vanquish him, he figured it was Harry as his parents were order of the phoenix members and were fighting against Voldemort. After killing Harry's parents, then tried to kill Harry, he disappeared for thirteen years. When he came back he was determined to hear it all, luckily he didn't. So from then on he tried everything to capture and kill Harry. How many times did you escape him Harry?'

'Not including the night at Hogwarts, five times.'

'He's got the scars to prove it. After all the fighting was finished and we were back at the Burrow, that's my family's home, Harry bought his own house, just visited my place all the time. We all went swimming one day, when Harry took his shirt and jeans off, blimey, Hermione almost fainted, then she started crying all over Harry, Ginny got angry and started blasting trees and I wanted to kill Voldemort all over again.'

'My friends are my hero's,' Harry laughed.

The group started to fill in Jessy about Voldemort and the war, more about Harry though. He would explain things, but not much about himself, so the others, mainly Ron would tell Jessy as much as he could.

Over the next month their training was coming along well. It took all of them a while to act professional and to learn what they could and couldn't do. Kingsley still spent most nights at Harry's home taking him through everything he would need to be in charge of a department and a very high up important department.

Harry just stepped out of his office with Kingsley when Harry grimaced as he groaned, grabbing his backside and his chest.

'Harry, what's wrong?' Ron stepped over to him.

Harry groaned loudly as he sank to the floor, still clutching his chest and backside, 'It's Charlie,' Harry got up, he instantly changed into his dragon and flew out of the auror rooms.

'Harry,' Arthur ran into the office.

'Arthur what's going on?' Kingsley asked.

'Ginny, she's gone to find Charlie.'

'That's the pain Harry just felt, he was holding his chest and backside before flying off,' Ron said.

'Do you know where Charlie is?' Kingsley asked.

'He told Molly he was going to look around Diagon Alley. He's been thinking about opening that shop he wants.'

'Auror's lets go, Ron quickly write a note for the others so they know where we're going, grab Harry's spare clothes, then meet us in the atrium,' Kingsley, Arthur, Jessy, Michael and Terry all ran out of the auror office. By the time they got to the atrium, Ron was with them.

'Straight to the Leaky Cauldron,' Kingsley waited until everyone apparated away, then he followed. The moment they appeared in the Leaky Cauldron they never stopped, just ran towards the back, tapped the bricks and hurried into Diagon Alley. They instantly saw the large dragon and the crowd. The aurors, Kingsley and Arthur ran towards it where they saw Charlie on the ground bleeding badly as Harry dragon had Ginny in his jaws.

'Harry, let her go and get Charlie to St mungo's,' Ron called.

Harry growled loudly, then dropped Ginny where she landed hard on the ground. Harry dragon picked up Charlie, keeping him in his mouth but his jaw was loose before he flew off.

'You were warned to leave Charlie alone,' Arthur said as he gently picked up his daughter causing Ginny to cry out in pain, 'You're lucky Harry didn't burn you.'

'Let's go Arthur,' Kingsley led the group back through to the Leaky Cauldron where they apparated to St Mungo's. Kingsley spoke to the welcome witch who led the group straight through into a room. They all heard the loud growls coming from another room.

'I'll go see if I can settle Harry down,' Kingsley hurried from the room with Ron and the other aurors following, 'Harry, let the healer at Charlie, he's not going to hurt him, he's trying to help him.' Kingsley said trying to get the dragon side of Harry to realise what was going on.
