Hello, Minister!


It was Halloween feast night, Harry as far as he remember every Halloween something has happened with him but this time it went pretty quietly as he enjoyed the feast with rest of the Gryffindos. Ron was as always shoving food on Slytherin table beside him Greengrass was sitting, he saw Hermione was looking a bit tense as she was looking more at Greengrass than at Ron. Dean was still not taking to him much, Seamus was stuck in between them, sometimes talking to Dean, other Harry. Harry didn't mind much. When Seamus gave him a tense "if it's okay if I returns to the dorm with Dean" look , Harry simply nodded in his direction, soon Seamus and Dean together walked out of the Great Hall, Harry was on his own. Harry saw Ginny and Al walking together, Harry walked behind them, Stephen was still with Colin on the table, it looked like he was not coming. Harry was glad he was not with her, Harry always felt like there was something between Ginny and Stpehen he didn't saw them snogging or anything but they were bloody close. Harry was just watching her red her flowing behind her, it always relaxed him watching her, walking, her hair, her waist, her curves, her- harry was just thinking about her when suddenly his scar pained he clutched it but the pain was too much to bear.

When he opened his eyes he was not walking behind Ginny but he was in a Room which had dim lighting he saw there was a man kneeling in front of him, his face was not visible.

."What did you find, Augustus?" a cold voice asked,

"I found the person's name, I saw the orb" Augustus Rookwood said still looking down at floor.

"Tell me the name" the cold voice asked with a hint of curiousity.

"Harry potter" Augustus Rookwood said, now looking up for the first time.

"Harry potter" He heard the cold voice saying his name…

"Harry, Harry!!"

Harry realised he was on the stone floor when he looked around he saw Al, was sitting beside him, Ginny was hovering over them,

"Are you alright?" Al asked him she looked worried

"I-I'm fine" he stammered, he was sweating and the pain in his scar was fading away.

"Don't you think you should go to the hospital wing?" Al asked him.

"No, No, it's fine" he said before leaving Ginny and Al behind, He ran down a flight of stairs for going to Dumbledore's office. When he reached the gargoyle he gave it the password, hurriedly knocked the door. When door opened he walked inside and saw Dumbledore, sitting in his chair.

"how can I help you, Harry?" Dumbledore asked him kindly

"He knows, He knows the Prophecy is about me and him" Harry replied, Dumbledore looked at him worriedly, he asked "How did he find it out?"

"Augustus Rookwood, saw it in Department of mysteries" Harry replied "I knew he was in leagues with him but I forgot to tell you"

"Harry, we already knew where Rookwood loyalties lie but Ministry was not able to catch him" Dumbledore said "but it's still a question how he got in the Department of mysteries"

"My family they will be in danger, if he knows?" Harry said, ignoring Dumbledore's commet, Harrywas terrified he has just got them, he can't lose them.

"Harry they are safe, Now go back to your dorms and have some rest" Dumbledore said,

"That's it" Harry asked, irritated because Dumbledore still was not telling him enough.

"For now, it is I need to inform certain people, Harry" said Dumbledore, Harry knew that was all he was going to get from Dumbledore.

Harry just nodded, when he exited the room he saw Dumbledore was talking to one of the portraits before the door was closed.

Next day in library he told Ron and Hermione about his vision. Both of them were terrified after hearing the news.

"Now, he is again going to target, you." Ron groaned while rubbing his eyes.

"It was going to happen sooner or later" Hermione said "harry but before he hears the content we should make sure the orb is destroyed"

"Yeah, I know" Harry said

"Don't you think we should do it as soon as possible, they can easily infiltrate ministry after all" Ron voiced his worries

"Only Voldemort can retrieve it or Harry, I don't think he is going to do anything rash" Hermione said "but Harry you should close your mind to him, if he realises he will get suspicious of a lot of things, I don't even know why your connection to him is somewhat strong, it got weak with the time"

"I don't know and it's not like he can possess me, last time he tried but failed remember?" Harry replied

"still, Harry" Hermione insisted

"Okay, Hermione" Harry conceded, he knew the argument would never end, if hadn't agreed with her.

After two weeks the vision Harry had, he tried to not think about it. He was constantly on Quidditch field training with his new Firebolt which his father and Godfather together sent him, for his first match of the league, it was tomorrow and harry was all ready for it. Only thing which was kind of weird for him was Ginny calling him "Potter" and not by his first name, she has asked him to do the same when he called her Ginny, it was quite unnerving.

It was almost dinner time, when Ginny ended their last training session before the match, He saw her landing on the ground followed by Katie

he landed, where Ginny landed a few minutes after and he spotted Ginny just a few meters away from him walking towards their lockers, he hurriedly walked in her direction and caught up with her.

"What is it?" she asked as she was still walking, Harry was walking along keeping up with her pace.

"It's just why don't you call me Harry, I mean we are on the same team, training for weeks, we can sure use each other's first name?" He asked her, She stopped walking, so did he.

"Look, I told you that on the very first day." she said

"Yeah, I know, you said, we don't know each other so it's best we stick to last names" He said trying to imitate her and failing miserably, she looked like she was going to hex him.

"I stick to that, we don't know each other" She replied.

"Ohh, C'mon" He sighed

"Bye" she said before leaving him standing there. Now, he felt stupid why the hell he has to do something like this. At least he knew Ginny didn't like him, not at all, but the way she behaves it almost feels like he once murdered her favourite kitty with his bare hands. What if his "Remaining Personality" did do something stupid.

It was Saturday, their first Quidditch match against Slytherin he saw Ron was looking a bit gloomy. As he was trying to eat his porridge. Harry looked around their table and saw Ginny talking to Al and Stephen. He knew for sure that dude has a thing for Ginny, he would have hexed him already, if he wasn't Hermione's brother.

"Feeling, Alright?" Demelza asked him as she sat beside him.

"Yeah, how are you so late?" He asked her, he kind of got on good terms with her since he started training. He was on good terms with everyone on the team except Ginny Weasley.

"catch the snitch as soon as possible, will you?" She asked him as she helped herself some toasts.

"Will try, why though?" he asked her.

"feeling a bit peaky, since morning." She replied, Harry noticed she indeed was not looking good.

"You sure? You can play?" He asked her

"About that, I'm damn sure" she replied as she dawned the pumpkin juice before slamming the empty glass on the table.

When he was out on the Grounds he saw Al, Dan, Vesper and Vi standing with smiling Lily. James and Sirius who were frantically waving in his direction. He felt thrilled when he saw them. He walked toward them.

"How are you, sweetie" Lily asked as she hugged him, Harry smiled in her hair.

"I'm fine" he mumbled in her hair, Lily ended the hug and looked him from top to bottom.

"Good luck for the match" she said, someone ruffled his hair, he saw his dad standing beside him.

"Kick their butts for me, will you" James said, as he winked at Harry, Lily looked like she wanted to say something but she just shook her head.

"Now, now Harry is going to do more than just kicking their butts" said Sirius grinning "All the best"

Harry smiled, soon his siblings, Al and Vesper wished him for upcoming match, He and Dan left for the match as their parents went to search for seats in stands.

"Good luck" Harry said to Dan, who mumbled something like you too. Before Harry was all confident about the match but now he felt nervous as he knew it was his Father and Godfather watching from stands and cheering him on, how he is going to perform in front of them? What if he made a prat of himself while flying?

It was Draco Malfoy who was captain of Slytherin Quidditch team, Ginny shook his hand before the match Malfoy winked at her before sneering. Ginny looked like an angry cat him ready. In that moment Harry wanted to play football with Malfoy's head but soon he heard the whistle, He got on his broomstick, he was soon in air, he saw the tiny golden snitch, flying in opposite direction to him, he instantly sped in it's direction. He saw Malfoy sped up and came beside him, smirking at him.

"Potter, learnt to fly?" He asked, Harry ignored him as Harry accelerated toward the snitch which was still visible but far ahead of him, but a bludger came in his view which he dodged instantly but lost sight of the snitch, He saw Draco was laughing behind him.

He turned around and saw rest of his team was playing greatly, even Demelza in her condition but Slytherins were playing good too as no one was able to score any goal the Quaffle was just getting passed around from player to player, the Bludgers flying around in all directions.

He heard Luna's voice, of course she was commenting. He saw his Dad and Sirius were shouting "Gryffindor! GRYFFINDOR!" in the crowd like kids, everyone were looking at them. Harry laughed when he saw soon his mother joined them.

"it's a Goal for Slytherin, Dan my best friend's brother missed the Quaffle, no worry Dan" Luna shouted, he saw his brother, he realised his brother reminded him of Ron, when he was keeping and Harry knew it was not good.

"the ball, Uh Quaffle, can I just call it a ball is in Katie's hand, was in Katie's hand, as she dodged another big ball- uh bludger, can I call that one big ball? So where we're we? Yeah! Katie dropped the ball, now it's in that big bloke from Slytherin's hand, I don't remember his name, he is going to the goal, but Ginny Weasley intercepted, snatched ball from that big bloke, now she is flying toward, Slytherin keeper, she was dodging, big balls, other Slytherins and she GOAL!. The score is Ten to Ten to Gryffindor."

Harry cheered, "Ginny is awesome". He soon started circling around the field trying to locate the snitch he saw Malfoy was just over him in the air, Harry accelerated right, left, whatever Direction came in his head. Soon he saw Malfoy was looking around trying to locate Harry when Malfoy saw him, he sped up in Harry's direction but Harry saw a golden light flickering just a few inches above the grass, He instantly leaned his body toward his broom, accelerating it down toward the ground. He was just inches above the grass when he straightened himself on broom, trying his broom to steady it before crashing, he somehow managed to steady himself and the broom in time. His toes were brushing the grass when, he accelerated the broom an grabbed the Snitch with his right hand like grabbing a fish from a pond. He saw Malfoy looking angrily at him from a few feet above hovering over him.

"GRYFFINDOR WINS! 160 – 10, HARRY POTTER CAUGHT THE SNITCH. That's my best friend older brother" Luna shouted in the megaphone.

He landed with his outstretched hand in the air showing everybody the snitch in between his finger. He was soon engulfed by hugs from Demelza and Katie, Soon Jimmy and Ritchie were patting him on shoulder and he saw, Dan looking at him with a smile.

"Good, game" Ginny said to him he smiled at her waiting for the smile from her which never came.

"That was Brilliant" he heard his father's voice as he came, cheerfully smiling at him

"It was Awesome" Sirius shouted, just right after James. His mother came in view she smiled at him proudly.

"Where is Dan" she asked him,

"He was just" Harry said while looking behind him, Dan was nowhere to be seen "I don't think he was feeling good"

"I saw him going toward the locker room" said Demelza, "I'm going too, bye"

"I'll go find Dan" his mother said as she went with Demelza.

"He looked a bit nervous when he was keeping" Sirius said, as James looked a bit worried

"Reckon, I should go?" James asked Sirius.

"let the mother handle it" Sirius said, James nodded. After that they just talked about Harry's performance as they got out of the field soon, Al and Vi joined them.

Harry saw Hermione and Ron coming in their direction.

"That was bloody brilliant" Ron said "the dive and not crashing"

"I, myself, don't know how I did it" said Harry honestly

"whatever, you should have seen the poor Slytherin's faces" He said, it looked like he was having fun while watching them depressed. James and Sirius looked weirdly at Ron, maybe thinking Ron has gone nuts, as of course Ron is a Slytherin in their eyes.

"You could've badly hurt yourself" Hermione muttered

"but he didn't" Ron said defensively, she just ignored him.

"Are you Harry's new friends" James asked, eyeing both of them.

"My name is Hermione Granger" Hermione said as she shook his dad's hand " Nice to meet you Mr. Potter and S-Mr. Black"

"I'm Ron Weasley" Ron said a bit nervously.

"You both are, who Harry secretly met in Diagon alley" James said, as he remembered Harry telling about them, both of them looked at harry for a second before nodding.

"it was them" Sirius almost exclaimed "why didn't you just?"

"Never mind that" Harry replied

"I'm Harry's favourite Godfather" Sirius said as he winked at both of them " when did you guys became friends? And how because you three are from different houses"

"Last year in Hogsmaede" Hermione replied "When he was attacked by bunch of strangers whom he had pranked that part we learnt later, we helped him, Ron and I were on our date that day" Ron and Harry looked at Hermione, impressed with the story she came up. Sirius and James both of them nodded. By that time Lily came back. She looked a bit weary.

"how is he?" James asked her wife.

"he is fine" she replied and gave him the look which clearly told they will talk about this later.

"Dad, we are going in?" Vi said, her father nodded "Bye Mum, Dad and Sirius"

"Bye Dad" Al said as Sirius patted her head, she was about a feet shorter than him, "Bye Uncle James and aunt Lily"

"Lils meet, Harry's friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley" James said as he pointed at both of them, Lily smiled warmly at them before introducing herself.

Soon December arrived with the cold winds and snow, Harry, Ron and Hermione have started to talk where ever they want not caring who's looking at them, Seamus looked at him funny and didn't believe him, when Harry told him about Ron and Hermione being his friends, but when harry pointed out, he was with them on train, talks with them a lot, he believed. Dean was still not talking to him because Harry didn't back out from trying to impress Ginny (How can he, he bloody loves her). Hermione and Ron also started holding hands in halls, pecking on each other's lip in public. A lot of people were in shock especially Ginny and Stephen, Ernie for some reason. Stephen even tried to hex him but he wasn't fast enough and Ron got him first, Ron had to do a detention because of it. Stephen had a shouting contest with his sister in the great hall of all place. Where Hermione almost hexed him, it was Harry and Ron who saved Stephen from her wrath that day.

As Harry, Ron and Hermione were from different houses, there were a lot of gossip about them. Snape was now Vicious with three of them, Harry because he always disliked him, Hermione because she kind of kicked him balls on her very first day of class, Ron because he was a Slytheri, who now became Harry potter's friend, he was now a traitor in their house, as Ron was in sixth year and he was taller than an average sixth year no one tried to cross him but Malfoy was on bad terms with him, started throwing insults at him.

Harry was about to go for Dinner when he saw someone entering Common room it was Dan and Vesper, whenever Harry tried to talk to Dan, he always ditched Harry.

"Dan?" Harry said

"what?" Dan asked him clearly annoyed

"Are you alright?" Harry asked.

"what's up with you?" Dan said "what do you care?"

"just say "I'm fine" or "I'm not" that's a very simple question?" Harry said ignoring Dan's previous comments

"You know what Harry, you never were like this, Vi is right you have changed, You never flied, you never talked to me in Hogwarts or Vi or vesper or Al, You were always snogging some girl but now- now it's frustrating" his brother snapped before walking past him, Vesper agitatedly looked at harry.

"You know he is right about you being changed, it's not like I'm complaining, you are nicer now before you were an arsehole" Vesper said, he looked afraid as he said that.

"Vesper, I'm sorry if I was an arsehole before, but can you tell me what's wrong with Dan" Harry asked warmly.

"it is- I don't know I should tell you" Vesper said he looked a bit relaxed now.

"I just want to help him?" Harry said

"Okay, then actually it's you being on the Quidditch team you know he trained all summer for being on the team and you came in got seeker's place, he was thinking he will get the praise from everybody but in the end you got it, then you got a Firebolt, you won the match for team, he played shit. He thinks if it weren't for you catching the snitch quick he would have let way more Quaffle in" Vesper explained

"Okay" Harry said , he felt a bit heart broken. He should have asked Dan before jumping in the train, he really felt bad that his brother was going through feeling all this because of him. Harry may not have been here, he may not have talked to his siblings a lot but he felt a great deal of closeness with both of them.

"It's just he is feeling shit, that's all and Al, Vi and Dan talk a lot about your sudden changes" Vesper said, his expressions looked like he has said more than he should have.

"thanks for telling me" Harry said before he patted him on the shoulder, Harry left the Common Room, he was outside in the corridor when he felt a searing pain in his scar he clutched it, but soon his world spun around him and he was no longer in the corridor or in front of the fat lady portrait

...but in a corridor with shiny black stones everywhere, his pale thin fingers holding his wand, when he looked to his left, he saw his comrade fighting Aurors, he let out a cruel laugh, soon he saw two Aurors in front of him trying to guard the door, both of them afraid, they knew what was coming but still tried to fight, after a few flicks of his wand, both men were lying on floor, lifelessly staring at him with their blank eyes, there was still hint of horror in those eyes, he flicked his wand once more the white door opened itself, when he entered the chamber, he saw spells coming his way but with another two flick of his wand, two more men were, sprawled over the floor staring at the ceiling with blank eyes. He turned around and saw a terrified man with a green bowler hat on his head, sweat all over his forehead. The man looked speechless.

Voldemort let out a mirthless laugh before saying "Hello, Minister"
