Hermione sat in bed and looked from her book over to Ron who was sleeping at her side. When they had went to pick up the kids from Percy, Penelope, and Mr. Granger, they were sleeping peacefully, and Jordan was welcomed back to Percy's, but the twins had drove Mr. Granger mad. Hermione smiled at Ron and pushed a strand out of her husband's face and kissed his forehead.

"I love you." She whispered. He smiled in is sleep and rolled over, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Love you too." He murmured and she laughed.

"I thought you was asleep." She said and Ron opened an eye.

"I was, but I've learned to sleep and still be able to hear certain things around me. You never know when the twins want to suddenly body slam you while you're asleep." He informed as his wife played with a strand of his hair.

"Is that a fact? I thought it was just paranoia." She said and Ron frowned.

"No, I got over that at the end of seventh year when we finally killed Voldemort and I didn't have to worry about being killed." She kissed him and leaned against the headboard of the bed, going back to her book.

"Ron. today I over heard Fudge talking to someone and I was just wondering. during any of those missions you've been on. did you ever hear any of them say anything about a second in command? You know, after Voldemort and all?" Ron sat up and looked at her.

"What do you mean?" he asked. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Are you listening to me!" announced Harry, slamming his fist on Fudge's desk. The old wizard glared at Harry ad the other Aurors. "Voldemort has a second in command and he's someone where in hiding! We have to get all the old Death Eaters, names cleared or not."

"And what are we to tell them when the Ministry's best Aurors are rampaging through their houses and saying they'll be in captivity until they tell who You-know-who's second in command is?" asked Fudge.

"Who cares! The only one most likely to put up a real fight is Malfoy!" announced Ron.

"Don't you insulting one of the Wizarding communities most respected families!" snapped Fudge, jumping out of his seat. "Lucious Malfoy's name has been cleared for the longest time and he has even settled and has his son and his family living with him in his mansion. Why would he allow his grandchildren to be part of such things?" he snapped.

"Same way he allowed his son to it. Remember the sorting ceremony?" asked Seamus as a matter of factly, nodding at Dean.

"Yep. Hat never even touch his head before he was named Slytherin." Informed Dean.

"And he's quick to call a muggle born mudblood. He hates muggles. Why shouldn't he still be a death eater? No doubt his kids are just as evil." Muttered Ron. Fudge glared at them.

"You will not bother anyone on this matter. You will go about your business and make sure any dark magic is stopped, not ruin the lives of our most respected wizards." Fudge said sternly.

"Fine, but if any of my kids end up missing this year, there will be hell to play." Informed Harry and they left out. Seamus sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"The way Fudge was defending Malfoy you'd think he loved him or something." He said and Ron shook his head.

"Denial, mates." Said Dean.

"I dunno, I think Fudge may just know something." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Alright class, no books today." Said Sirius when he had entered the classroom full of first years. He smiled around at them and pulled out his wand, twirling it in between his fingers. "Right then. I suppose you're supposed to know how to protect yourselves from dark magic.. But you should first know what curses you can't block. or should never use unless you want face life in Azkaban." He said, The kids all sat silently.

"So, lets hear them kiddies. What spells would you think would earn you life in Azkaban?" asked Sirius. The boy next o Alex raised his hand and Sirius looked on the attendance sheet. "Patrick right? Go ahead."

'The. imperius curse?" he asked and Sirius nodded. "I read about it in a book my sister has." He said.

"Ok, who else?" asked Sirius, looking around the classroom at the young faces. He looked on the sheet again and then at a little girl in Ravenclaw. "Michelle is it? Do you have any ideas?" asked Sirius. She blushed a little and nodded.

"The Crucio curse thing." She answered and Sirius smiled.

"Good girl. My you're a smart bunch of first years. Not even my fourth year class got this far. Now, there's one more. C'mon kids. I know you know what the last one is." He said brightly. He looked around at them and finally some one raised their hand.

"Advada Kedavra?" said one of Alex's close girl friends, Cherise. Sirius clapped his hands together.

"Bravo, five points to gryffindor thanks to Miss Jackson." He said and Cherise blushed, pushing her hair out of her face and grinning triumphantly. "Now that we know this much, how could you avoid getting hit by one of these?" asked Sirius and all the children raised their hands. 'This is more fun than I thought it would be.' Sirius thought as he pointed at one boy who said run for your life. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Alright guys, lunch time!" called Fred and George once they had entered the section in which the aurors usually were. All the more professional workers gave the twins a very stern look and went back to their whispering to one another about their next mission as they went over a mapped out plan.

"Where are they at?" George asked, interrupting one group by pulling the map from under their hands. The men glared at him.

"Fudge sent them off to do some real work, not the stuff they've been ranting about today." Answered the first guy. "They may end up having the biggest mission of them all." He added in a whisper.

"What mission is that?" asked Fred curiously. The men exchanged looks and their faces went serious.

"We shouldn't be telling you this, but you're Weasley's brothers and you'll find out eventually." Said the second guy. "There's been talk about You- know-who having more supporters than were listed."

"Talk goes that they have the dark mark tattooed as well, but theirs is special. They're invisible and the only people who can see them are death eaters themselves." Said the first man, Frankie.

"And the thing is, the leader is supposedly You-know-who's hidden son. The boy is being raised by a woman with the invisible dark mark and by time he's old enough to go to Hogwarts, he'll be just as powerful as his dad." Said the second man, Jay.

"You can't be serious." Said Fred, crossing his arms.

"You can try a truth potion on is if you want." Said Frankie angrily. "A death eater that Ford had brought in told us the whole story. Said he was helping the woman raise the baby and she's out of England right about now. Her son is suppose to be one or two years old right now."

"So, they should e back in about an hour or two with their latest report. We'll tell them you came by." Said jay and pulled his map out of George's hand, going back to work. When they went outside, George turned and looked at Fred.

"What woman in her right mind would have sex with Voldemort and have a baby by him?" he asked in disgust and Fred shrugged.

"Bit funny though. The kid'll be starting about the same time as Mikey and Matt."
