Harry and Ron aparated straight to the ministry to gather up a team. The two split the list in half to double their chances of getting everyone there in a timely manner. The worst call Harry had to make was back to the house to see where Teddy had gotten off to "Harry Potter you tell me what's going on this instant or I swear you will be on the couch for a month!" Ginny raged.
"Ron will be too if you don't tell us." Hermione glared "You two are always leaving us women here to stay with the kids because apparently it isn't safe. Well guess what pal I fought a war with you, by your side. Cooked in horrible conditions, nursed you back to health I don't know how many times and..."
"Hermione!" Harry interrupted.
"What?" Hermione snapped coming off her tirad.
"If you would just stop for a moment I will tell you." He said looking at his sister-in-law.
"Oh right well go on then." she blushed pushing her brown bushy locks from her face.
Sighing Harry shook his head and told the two women what he knew "Neville flooed and said that Greyback was sighted in Hogsmeade by one of the villagers so we're just going on a routine check. It should be no big deal, nothing to worry about."
"Harry Potter when the words 'nothing to worry about' come out of your mouth there is something to worry about." Ginny said narrowing her eyes at her husband.
"Ginny it will be fine I promise." he assured her.
"Do you need any other MLE out there?" Hermione asked.
"No we should be fine with just the Aurors." Harry assured her "But we might if he's actually there."
"I'll put a team of hit wizards on standby for you."
"Thanks Mione' you're the best." Harry said pulling his head out of the fire glad to be out of the firing range of any bat-bogey that might just happen to fly his way. He still hadn't found out where Teddy was, but he was sure he'd show up.
"Hey mate everyone I talked to is on their way. Teddy was at Dean's so that took care of that call." Ron said sticking his head into the office.
"Ok great." Harry smiled walking into the conference room. Teddy came in looking a bit horrified, but waved Harry off when he questioned him about his odd behavior. Dean was the last to arrive looking as frazzled as Teddy had looked horrified "Dean, mate are you ok?" Harry asked.
"Harry have you ever caught the two of them snogging?" he asked looking at Teddy who's hair went from mousy brown to a deep red.
"Several times." Harry chuckled. "But Teddy's been here for the past ten minutes, why are you late?"
"Because I've spent the past ten minutes arguing with my daughter." Dean sighed running a hand over his face and sending a glare towards Teddy.
"Abby thinks we shouldn't have to hide our affections, while I think we should respect her father's wishes of no PDA." Teddy said running both his hands through his hair "This of course earned me a smack to the shoulder and her saying we wouldn't snog for several weeks if I agreed with him. Dean thought my thoughts were correct, but that there should be no PDA period. They started fighting and that was when Ron flooed. So I left and let them go at it."
Ron coughed something that sounded a lot like "brown noser" and "coward." earning a smack from a few of the female aurors. "What?" he questioned looking at them only to see Alliah roll her eyes and mutter "men." under her breath.
"Look let's worry about that later, I need a team to accompany Ron and I to Hogsmeade. Greyback was spotted there with a woman and we don't know if it's Lestrange or a hostage." Harry explained.
"I'll come." Teddy said.
"Count us in." Hopper and Jones cried from the back.
"I'm in too Harry." Seamus smiled.
"There's gotta be at least one woman on the team." Alliah smiled smugly.
"Make that four women." Lisa, Padma, and Parvati smiled.
"I'll come as well." Dean said with a nod.
"We need a few more." Ron whispered to Harry.
Harry nodded "We need more people, this isn't an easy task I know but please think of those kids at Hogwarts and the people in the village if we don't get enought people innocent lives could be in danger."
"I'm in Harry." An older Auror said from the back.
"If he's in I'm in." another said clapping his friend on the back.
"Me too." Yet another said.
Before Harry knew it he had a team of twenty-one including himself "Wonderful. I need someone here to be a sort of liaison to all the wives, husbands, and significant others who floo."
"That's my job and don't you dare go giving it away Mr. Head Auror." Harry's receptionist Samantha said hands on her hips.
"Sam when did you get here?" Harry asked confused. He knew he hadn't called her and he was pretty sure Ron hadn't. Was she really Samantha? Or was she possibly an imposter?
"Been here the whole time. I got a message on my coin and came down here." She said rolling her eyes "Your wife probably did it." she smirked at him. Harry mentally slapped himself for not thinking of that. Of course Ginny would send a message to Sam. "I'm sure I will get a frantic floo from Ginny, Lavender, Hermione, and a few others."
"Not Susan?" Dean asked confused on why his wife had not been added into the normal list of wives that flooed.
"Please you're going to be in the same place she won't be flooing me. Now your daughter on the other hand, with both the men she loves out she will more than likely floo. Now I am getting overtime correct?" she asked Harry.
Harry chuckled in spite of himself "Of course Sam."
"Good because it is date night and you interrupted that, my husband is not happy. However, going home and telling him I got overtime, well he'll be happy."
"You're getting overtime Sam." Harry laughed.
"I was hoping you'd say that." Sam smiled sitting down at her desk.
"We'll keep you posted on everything that's going on so the wives and others aren't to frantic." Harry promised.
"And if one of you knuckleheads should get hurt?" Sam asked knowing they were going to.
"Lie through your teeth until I can get in touch with them myself." Harry said with great emphasis on this sentence.
Sam raised an eyebrow and said with her ever so charming California accent "And should it be your brain-dead head?"
"Don't lie to Ginny it won't do anyone any good to have both of us dead." Harry laughed grabbing his robes and putting them on.
"All right fine, and what about you?" she asked looking at Ron.
"My wife will know if you are lying so I don't care either way," he said with a shrug "Hermione is my boss as she is Harry's so if you lie it might just cost you your job."
"Shut up." Sam said rolling her eyes and grabbing her latest issue of Cosmo that her parents sent to her every month.
"Alright people, let's get moving." Ron said grabbing his auror robes from the coat rack.
With a loud pop the team disappeared leaving Sam shaking her head and popping her gum loudly. "They are going to get themselves killed."
