Chapter twenty five

Kingsley was awake before Harry, showered and was sitting at the table remembering their night together and couldn't stop smiling and knew he had to do something like that to Harry.

'What are you grinning about?'

'Thinking about last night, merlin what you were doing to me. No one has ever made me give in like that, well in anyway. So I promised, what did you want from me and please don't ask what I'm doing at the ball?'

'I won't, but it's connected in a way. I want to talk to the two bands, work out a surprise, but I can't tell you. So can you get them to contact me?'

Kingsley stared at Harry, 'Alright, but you're being mysterious.'

'It's just something I've planned. So when is this ball anyway and when are you going to show me how to dance?'

'It will be probably in a month, maybe a little longer. I'm still working on the plans with Beatrice. We can start practicing every night if you want. Do you want to learn just standard type dancing, waltzes, rock and roll, what, I can do it all.'

'Where did you learn to do all that?'

'My parents were dance instructors, so I grew up learning that stuff. I taught Charlie some, but he wasn't really into dancing.'

'Then let's surprise every one, show me a bit of all of it. Will you have time to do that?'

'Easy, I'll work on two different types of rock and roll, then the waltz and some normal slow dancing but not just moving slowly around in circles like some do.'

'Okay, I'm in your hands, but I'm not sure how good I'll be. I only ever danced at the yule ball and only the one dance to open it.'

'You might not ever make a professional Harry, but you'll look good when I've finished. We'll have to buy some formal robes to wear, maybe something that matches, but we'll need some normal nice clothes underneath for when we rock and roll. Robes get in the way too much.'

'We can organise that when we go shopping on the weekend.'

'Morning you two,' Samuel said as he stepped inside, 'You both look happy. I take it Harry's surprise was worth it?'

'Oh yeah, but don't ask because we're not telling, especially me.'

'Why, because I had you losing it and begging me babe?' Harry laughed then turned to Kingsley, 'I made a deal with him, if I could make him beg or lose it he had to do something for me, which he did.'

'Harry did that, made you lose it Kingsley, because from what I remember and heard from Charlie, that's not possible, Harry must be good.'

'Eyes off Samuel, he's mine and yes, he is good, too good.'

Harry laughed, 'I had a good teacher, but we need to get to work. I've got a meeting this morning with my whole office.'

'Let's go then,' Kingsley said and got up with Harry and Samuel and they headed for the ministry.

After Harry kissed Kingsley goodbye, he went to his office, 'Okay, let's get this meeting started,' Harry opened his office and set chairs up for everyone then they all sat down, 'Alright, I wanted to do something, the minister approved it. But I would like this office to run it, everyone here will have an input into it,' Harry summoned some parchment and sent them to every person, 'As you can see, it's a fund to help people who need it. I've kicked it off with twenty million to start with.'

'Merlin Harry, I knew you were rich, never knew you were that rich. Is that from what Sirius left you?' Arthur asked.

'I combined my vaults and that is only a small amount.'

'So we'll need to let people know they can apply for help through this fund Mr. Potter?' Percy asked.

'Yes, either a formal letter, or leaflet to be sent to everyone in the wizarding world. Now of course we'll get asked by people that don't need it, this is where all of us have to work out who needs it and who don't. If you think this is too much work, we can get someone else to run it.'

'I think we could handle that Harry,' Susan said smiling at him, 'This is a wonderful idea and will help lots of people.'

'Yes, it will, people that really need it.'

'If you don't mind me asking, what made you come up with this idea Mr. Potter?' Debra asked.

'See, I'm godfather to a small boy, Teddy Lupin. His grandmother, Andromeda Tonks looks after him, but she lost her husband before the fighting and he was the one that worked. It took me a while to talk her into letting me help, so that gave me the idea, then Rosemary told me how her parents were killed and her aunt looks after her younger brother while she works. So I realised that a lot of people were suffering financially and it's something I can help with. Money never interests me, as long as I got by. So if say Rosemary's little brother needs to buy things for Hogwarts, the aunt can apply for financial help to be able to buy him everything he will need, new robes, books, all that stuff. Even with someone like Rosemary, if she wasn't working here and still looking for work, this would help someone like that until they got back on their feet.'

'What about kids of death eaters Harry, I'm not talking about ones that were involved, because we know some kids never wanted anything to do with what their parents were doing?' Arthur asked.

'Well, I know the minister seized all death eaters vaults and I do know that Draco Malfoy has helped the aurors, he helped me as well, his mother did too. So we'll have to go over those very carefully before they get anything. I'm planning on going to see Malfoy, maybe he wants to go back to Hogwarts and finish his last year and might need assistance, I'll ask him. So we need to work out how to let everyone know and what the criteria is to be accepted. But one condition I had was that no one knows it's me that set it up. I'm not sure if we can keep that quiet, but I would like to try. I don't need any more attention.'

'I think it should be a formal letter Mr. Potter, stating everything that is required to apply and how to go about it,' Percy said.

'Alright, well I might get you to organize that Percy, when you have some time. I don't want you to leave you're other work with Arthur. Susan, if you and Debra could work out what needs to be put in the criteria, then Percy can get that done. Arthur if Rosemary helps you, maybe you could go through the records of people that died, find out if they were the only one working and if the family might need aide. We can notify them straight away. Also, I want to organise orphans to be able to access this fund, so I'm going to contact those orphanages after I speak with Minerva.'

'Looks like we all have a lot to do, so we should get started,' Susan said, 'This is wonderful Harry,' she smiled and left with Rosemary, Debra and Percy.

'Did you want something Arthur?' Harry asked as he moved all the chairs away.

'Yes, I wanted to discuss this when we were alone. The vault you set up for Molly,' Arthur saw Harry instantly tense, 'I didn't want to bring up anything unpleasant, but it's there and we wanted to know when you're going to take care of it.'

Harry took a couple of deep breaths, before he looked up at Arthur, 'I actually thought about that a couple of days ago. I hope you will, but I would like you and Molly to keep it for everything you did for her. Put it into all the grandchildren you're going to have. Let Molly have her dream kitchen to cook her wonderful meals in, you can have the best collection of muggle gadgets you can.'

'We really don't need that Harry, it was for Molly.'

'Yes, who was you're grandchild. It's sort of a gift from her to say thank you to two wonderful people that was there for her.'

Arthur sighed, 'Alright, thank you, but you know Molly's going to want you to come to dinner and hug the stuffing out of you.'

Harry gave a small laugh, 'Yeah, she probably will. How's she doing at the moment?'

'Cooks a lot, Charlie said he hasn't eaten this well in years. It keeps her mind occupied and off Ginny, Molly and Fred.'

'Something else I've been thinking about, Kingsley mentioned it to me but it gave me an idea and Molly Weasley would be perfect for it.'

'What's that Harry because I'd like Molly to do something other than cook?'

'Kingsley told me that a lot of kids were orphaned, but they live with muggles. So I want to start a wizards orphanage, Molly could run it and she did raise seven children, including Fred and George, so I think she could handle any child, what do you think?'

Arthur felt himself choke up, 'You are remarkable Harry and I think it's brilliant. You know, we could get the wizarding world to help, put on a fund raising ball or something. That way there will always be enough funds available.'

'Okay, well I'll put the request in to Kingsley, then we need to organise. So if he agrees, which I'm sure he will, I'll contact Molly. She will know exactly what's needed, so don't go telling anyone yet, until I get approval from the Minister.'

'I won't, but I hate keeping things from Molly, but she's going to love it Harry. Okay, well I better get started on this other fund why you see you're man,' Arthur hugged Harry, 'You are doing great things for our world Harry, so please, be happy with Kingsley.'

'I am Arthur, more than I thought I ever could be,' Harry smiled and watched Arthur leave, then he sat at his desk and filled out another request form, before heading to Kingsley's office, 'Is he available Beatrice?'

'Yes, go straight in Mr. Potter.'

'Thanks,' Harry stepped into Kingsley's office and saw him hard at work, 'Do you miss being an auror babe?'

'Sometimes love, but I'm enjoying all this. Is that another request you need me to look at?'

'Yes and again from me, you actually gave me the idea for this.' Harry handed over the file.

Kingsley opened the file and read, 'Wow, first the fund to help people who are suffering and now you want to help the orphans. I know you can afford all this Harry, but are you sure?'

'Positive, when you told me about all the kids that had been orphaned, I realised they were in muggle orphanages, they need their own and I had an idea of someone to run it that would be perfect.'

'Who?'

'Molly Weasley, Arthur told me all she does is cook to keep her mind off everything,' Harry sighed, 'She raised seven kids on next to nothing, she would work wonders with this place Kingsley and it would help her as well.'

'You have one of the kindest hearts I've of anyone I've ever seen,' Kingsley picked up his quill and signed the form, 'Why don't we put some of the seized death eaters money into this, since they caused some of the deaths of these kids parents?'

'We can do that and I like that idea. So can we go to lunch now or are you too busy still?'

'We'll go now, I can get back to it later. But a private snog first,' Kingsley pulled Harry into his arms, as close as he could then they kissed passionately, 'That'll hold me till tonight.'

'Why, aren't you going to kiss me in front of everyone again?' Harry asked but made it look like he was upset.

'No, I'll still kiss you no matter who's watching, I just wanted to feel you up against me, can't do that in the dining room, can we?'

'Alright, that I agree we can't do, let's go to lunch babe,' Harry and Kingsley left the office and again arm in arm, made their way to the ministry dining room where they shared some private time while they ate and never realised everyone was watching them, but at least most were smiling
