Chapter 5 - 6 months later.
Dear Mr Potter,
WE would like to take this opportunity to offer you s job at the Ministry of Magic. We have been made aware that you have worked for us in our Defence against the Dark Arts department (DADA). Our minister believes that you are the best for this job so we are formally offering you to become the Minister if our DADA dept. We would greatly appreciate a formal letter stating whether you wish to take this position or not. Thank you.
Sincerely Yours,
Athos Sanders
Secretary to the minister of Magic.
Harry gasped as he read this letter. It had dropped into his plate at his kitchen table in his rooms.
'What is it Harry?' Ginny asked.
He passed her the letter and turned to rip open another.
Dearest Harry and Ginny,
I trust I find you all in good health. Harry I hope that you receive this before an official ministry offer. I have interviewed many wizards and witches for the position of Minister of our DADA dept. But I have come to the conclusion that no one is as good as you are in your study of this art. There fore I have told my secretary Athos to send you a formal offer. I highly suggest that you take up the position if only for a few years. Please give my regard to Ginny and we all send our love.
Arthur Weasley
Minister of Magic.
'My god!' he said.
'Harry I think you should go.' Ginny said.
'Where would we live?' he said.
'Black Manor. It's in London.'
'No but it's close enough. I have to talk to Dumbledore. It wouldn't be fair if I ran out on him in the middle of the year.' He said.
'Well go talk to him.' She said.
He got up and raced to the door carrying the offer in his hand.
~Dumbledore's office~
'Come in.' the old man said as he heard a knock on his door.
'Hello Headmaster.' Harry said.
'Hello Harry. What can I do for you today.'
'I received a letter this morning form the minister of Magic. It's an official offer to become Minister of their DADA department.' Harry said.
'Yes I know. Arthur sent me a letter also. Harry I think it is time that you move on. Become something more.'
'Albus, I wouldn't feel right if I were leaving you without a DADA teacher.'
'Not to worry Harry, That is taken care of. Remus will return for a while and if he sees fit he will remain on staff.' The old man said.
'Oh.' He said.
'I would like to say Harry that you have been an asset to our staff and the door to Hogwarts is always open.' He said.
'Thank you Albus. I must go, I have a letter to write.'
AS he entered his room Hermione, Ron and Ginny were sitting the kitchen table.
'So Harry what's this about you leaving us?' Ron asked.
'I've been offered to become the Minister of the DADA dept. at the ministry.' He said.
'WHAT?' Hermione yelled.
'Who's going to teach the kids?' she finished.
'Well he's related to you. He was one of Sirius best friends and he's a werewolf.' Harry said.
'Dad's coming to teach?' she screamed.
'Yes.' He said.
'OMG! Harry you're gonna be rich!' Ron said.
'Nah! I still have to open Black Manor. That will take sometime.' He said.
They all sat down and Harry went to the mini bar to get a bottle of champagne. They all celebrated.
~AT Dinner that night~
'I have an announcement to make.' Dumbledore said.
The hall went quiet.
'Professor Potter will be leaving us.' Everyone groaned.
'He will be joining the Ministry as Minister of the DADA dept.' the old man said.
The hall yelled.
'Professor Lupin will be rejoining us as our DADA teacher. Now eat up.' He said.
'Well Harry, tomorrow is your last day. You will have to do something special.' Dumbledore said.
'Yes well.' Harry smiled. He was happy about his new position but he was also greatly saddened by the mention of his leaving Hogwarts. It was a part of him that would never die. He would always have the urge to come back. Maybe one day he would.
