Chapter twenty eight

Over the next few weeks, Harry and Rosemary, with Samuel following, went through every department. Harry would talk to the head of each department, Rosemary would take notes as Harry would listen in on everyone's thoughts. Some he wished he never heard as they were very private, others let him know who were into dark magic and would follow any dark wizard or witch if they could get rid of all the mudbloods and of course Harry Potter. He also heard people thinking that they all felt safe with Harry Potter working for the ministry but is also partners with the Minister, some of course hated gay people but they did still think the Minister was doing a great job and so was Harry Potter, some people hated Harry not for dark reasons, just because they thought he was good at everything and they were jealous. While Harry was listening to everyone, he was let Rosemary know in her mind who were into dark magic but he also let Samuel know there were some that were part of Voldemorts people, but not death eaters. After the last of the departments had been checked by Harry, the aurors took all Voldemorts people to the holding cells and everyone that was into dark magic but had never done anything wrong, they were fired and told to leave the ministry instantly.

Harry's office had started getting requests from people that needed financial assistance, so everyone was working on who deserved it and who didn't. Harry had asked Arthur to bring Molly in for a meeting, which was going to be the following day. The ministry had found a large piece of land, had the buildings finished pretty quickly, now they just needed someone to run it and for them to tell them what needed to be bought.

Harry and Kingsley left for work early, they kissed goodbye and both went to their offices. Harry was going over any new requests from other departments when Rosemary stuck her head inside.

'Mr. Potter, Mrs. Weasley is here for your meeting.'

'Send her straight in Rosemary, tell Arthur to come in as well,' Harry smiled and stood up. The moment Molly Weasley stepped inside the office Harry hugged her, 'I've missed seeing you.'

'I have too Harry, but I must say, you look better than I thought you would. Are you feeling better now?'

'I'm good Molly, really good and that's thanks to Molly. I went down to the cemetery one day, it helped.'

'Harry,' Arthur said as he stepped in and put his arm around his wife.

'Why don't you both sit and I'll explain to Molly why she's here.'

'Yes, I've been wondering about that,' Molly and Arthur sat on the couch in Harry's office.

'Alright, I'm sure Arthur told you about the fund I started to help people.'

'Yes, he did and it's wonderful. I also know you don't want anyone to know, so I will keep it to myself. Is that the reason I'm here?'

'No, but I also set something else up and thought you would be the perfect person to run it. Now of course you can refuse if you want, but I have a feeling once you know what it is, you will do it and do a wonderful job. The wages are excellent and you get to run things as you see fit. You will have a full staff under you along with five house elves. You will only work five days a week, you can appoint who runs it on the weekends and night time. So I won't say anymore, but show you what I'd like you to do,' Harry handed Molly a large folder and watched as she opened it to the first page.

'The Molly Potter wizarding orphanage. You've funded an orphanage and want me to run it?'

'You raised seven kids Molly, not to mention Fred and George. If anyone could keep those two in line, it was only you that could. You have experience with children, you have the love they need along with just the right amount of yelling to keep them in line. They are witches and wizards so they will need someone powerful enough to control them when they use their magic, but to also teach them while they are young. You have everything these children need and deserve. The place is ready to bring the children from all the muggle orphanages, but whoever is running it, hopefully you, needs to go buy everything the kids need. A vault has been set up all I have to do is tell the goblins who's name to put on it that will be accessing it. Now if you want to and know people that would work under you, then you can do that, if you would like the ministry to find staff for you, we can do that as well,' Harry smiled then looked at Arthur because they could see tears falling down Molly's face.

'Molly dear, are you alright?' Arthur asked his wife.

'Yes and of course I will do it Harry, thank you.' Molly cleared her throat, 'How many children are we talking about?'

'A lot, eight seven children, from a few months old right up to seventeen year olds. Those older ones were allowing to stay until they find work and a place to live, up to a year at least. So we need to work out how many people you think we need to control that many children.'

'Well, staff around the clock is needed, but I do know one woman that would love to help and she would do a good job as well, Andromeda, Teddy can be there with her, playing with the other children. Can I have a couple of days to think about how many we need because I might know of people that would love to work there?'

'Take as much time as you need, but we will need to get beds, blankets, toys, books all that stuff bought straight away, then food, the house elves will be taking care of all the cooking and washing, that leaves you and your staff more time with the children. Once you set all that up, then we can start bringing in the kids.'

'Okay, I'll start buying everything and talk to some people I know. I'm sure I know of five that will love to do it, I will need more though. Have you got a limit, because I'm thinking ten to fifteen full time staff here?'

'I leave that to you Molly, you would know how many are needed to handle that many children. Now you can go through the personnel files, find out who's looking for work and who might be suitable. If you would like to go down with Arthur, I'm sure your husband could give you a hand going through all those files. I will send an owl to Gringotts so you will be able to access the vault. I will need an accountant to work with you on occasions, just to keep an eye on the money and find out when more might be needed. Arthur mentioned about putting on a fund raising ball, Kingsley is going to work on that, not for a while though and he said we might do it every few years to keep the funds up. So you have a lot to do Molly, but from now you are on the payroll. The orphanage is basically run officially that is by the ministry, so you will be known as a ministry employee. You'll have to fill out a personnel file yourself,' Harry handed her another piece of parchment, 'That will need to go with it, so they can fix up you're wages. One thing as well, you and Arthur work the same hours and days. This office will be who you need to contact for any type of problems you might find and Arthur said he will handle that so basically you need to contact your husband,' Harry grinned.

'Well then, I think I should get started. So if you can spare my husband, we can go see about staff, then I will go and have a look around at where these children will be living. If you could Harry, do you think you could spare Percy just for today, I will need someone to write down everything that needs to be bought as I'm walking through.'

'Already worked out for you Molly, Percy is waiting for you.'

'You are wonderful Harry and you know what, you're daughter and parents would be proud of you, just like we are,' Molly pulled Harry into one of her famous rib cracking hugs, 'You have a very kind heart and a loving nature,' she smiled then stepped back from Harry, 'Come on Arthur we have a lot to do.'

Harry laughed, then Arthur hugged him, 'I think you just saved my wife Harry, thank you, for everything,' Arthur said softly, then let him go and followed his wife out of Harry's office.

Harry couldn't stop smiling and just needed to go see his man. 'Rosemary, I'll be with the Minister, if anything important is needed, I'm sure Susan can take care of it, if not, you know where I'll be.'

'Yes Sir, but I'm sure everything will be fine,' Rosemary smiled at Harry and could see how peaceful he looked and realised he must finally be coming to terms with the loss of his daughter and she couldn't be happier for him.

Harry stepped into the outer office of the ministry of magic, 'You can go right in Mr. Potter,' Beatrice said instantly.

'Thanks,' Harry walked in, pulled Kingsley too his feet and kissed him passionately.

'Now that was a nice hello Harry, what did I do to deserve that my love?'

'Nothing really, I just felt I needed to see you and kiss you, so I did. I just spoke to Molly, she was in tears and has left with Arthur to see about staff and to look over the place. Arthur hugged me and said he thinks I just saved his wife.'

'Arthur spoke to me a few days ago, he was getting very worried about Molly, so I think you did Harry. You know Charlie never went back to Romania, he was worried about his mother as well, so he took a job over here working with dragons. Not the big ones he's used to working with, but at least he's still doing what he loves and is close to his mother.'

'I'm glad he decided to stay, Molly would have missed him more if he left. But have you got anything on for the next hour or so, Susan's taking care of my office,' Harry leaned in and started to kiss Kingsley's neck, giving him little nips with his teeth as Harry's body rubbed up again Kingsley.

'Oh merlin, um, no, not doing anything important, but I need to tell Beatrice.'

'Go do that, then seal the door, because Mr. Minister, you're about to be very occupied.'

Kingsley licked his lips, nodded, then went to his door, 'Beatrice, I'm going to be busy for the next couple of hours, anything important comes up, let Susan know or the aurors, depending on what it is, I don't want to be disturbed.'

Beatrice smirked, 'Yes Sir, have fun,' she said softly as the door closed, then giggled.
