Prologue
The famous Auror, Harry Potter, waited
outside the Minister of Magic's door.
Cornelious Fudge, the Minister, was currently in danger, little did he
know. Aurors Arabella Figg and Mundugus
Fletcher had uncovered a sinister plot to attack the British Ministry of
Magic. Undercover Death Eaters
actually had positions in the Ministry as Harry waited. The Auror only wished that Fudge believed
him.
"Who is at the door again?" asked
Cornelious Fudge to his secretary.
While shuffling papers, she answered
in a monotone, "Harry Potter, sir."
"Lunatic boy," commented Fudge
scornfully. He had never wanted to
admit that Harry and Albus Dumbledore were correct and that, in fact, Voldemort
had returned. "Send him in," the
Minister said with a wave of his hand. The
door swung open.
"Minister, I have important news for
you," said Harry urgently.
"Yes?" said Fudge with a false look
of interest.
"You are going to find this a trifle
hard to believe, but it is true. The
entire Ministry is in danger. As we
speak Luscious Malfoy and-" he was cut off by Fudge.
"Calm yourself! You may have had lessons from Alastor Moody,
but there is no reason to be paranoid!" replied Fudge. That moment, the door burst open with two
cloaked and masked figures standing outside in the hallway.
At that very moment, Hermione, now
Mrs. Weasly, stood at the exit from the Great Hall of, seeing students onto the
Hogwarts Express. The Transfiguration
teacher and Head of House for Gryffindor had just witnessed her house win the
cup again. Gryffindor had won
the House Cup for all of the three years Hermione had taught.
"Quick, something has happened at
the Ministry!" shouted Minerva McGonall, the new Headmistreess.
"What?" replied Hermione, surprised.
"Just come," answered McGonall. Hermione followed.
"Avada Kedavra!" cried one of
the figures, wand pointed at Cornelious Fudge."Stupefy!" said Harry,
wand aimed at the first figure.
"Minister, duck! They're death
eaters!"
The Minister of Magic dove under his
desk, but the green flash of light caught him in the foot. With the first Death Eater knocked out,
Harry stunned the second one. He spoke
to Cornelious Fudge's secretary. "Go get
Mundugus and bring him up here. He
should be downstairs.
Harry gathered the death eater's
wands and wrote a letter to headmistress McGonall at Hogwarts. Then he borrowed the Minister's owl and sent
it.
"Hermione, the Minister of Magic is
dead," said McGonall. Hermione
gasped.
"What happened?" asked Hermione.
"Two death eaters broke into his
office at the Ministry somehow.
Luckily, Potter was meeting with him and caught the two attackers,"
answered Minerva. "Harry suggests that
we use Ron as interim Minister. He is
head of his department and very capable.
Also, currently there is no Junior Minister. Could you talk to your husband about this?"
"Sure," replied Hermione, "no
problem. I'll send an owl today."
"Excellent," said Minerva
McGonall. "Oh, and congratulations on
winning the House Cup again!"
"Thanks, but it's the students you
should congratulate," said Hermione.
She wrote her owl later. Ron
accepted the duty of Interim British Minister of Magic a day later.
