A/N- I cannot believe how many reviews I have been getting! IT'S
UNBELIEVABLE! I hope you all keep reading. I want to address some things
first. My sequel to my last story will be up this weekend. As for the first
story I wrote I think it is crap. I wouldn't recommend reading Harry Potter
in his Sixth Year. I think More Secrets Revealed is much better. I know I
make grammatical errors in this story but I try to correct as many as I
can. Sorry if I accidentally miss some. Also I know my plot is a little
weird and that we all want Remus back but the plot is going somewhere. I
already have the next 15 chapters planned out on paper. I also accidentally
had Harry call Remus by his firs name so I feel really stupid about that
mistake. In my last story he called him Remus so I was used to it. It won't
happen again. I promise* I am going to try and update every other day.
School takes a lot of time and writing each chapter takes quite a bit of
time as well. I am so glad that there are people who actually like my
story. PLEASE DON'T FLAME. REVIEW AND I WILL GIVE YOU a...hug or if you
prefer I will give you a large cookie. Any flavor! Here is the next
chapter. You will find out about a lot of things that you have been
wondering about in the reviews so I hope you are happy. Reviewers are also
giving me good ideas for the story so if you have some incredible ones feel
free to share. PLEASE DON'T BE CRUEL! SORRY..HERE IS THE CHAPTER 3!!!
And The Winner Is.
"WHAT?" Harry screamed and dropped the roll in his hand. "I am nominated to be the minister of magic?"
No one said anything but Dumbledore nodded.
"Can someone please explain to me why the bloody hell I am nominated?" He bellowed.
"As soon as you calm down Harry I will be glad to tell you everything." The headmaster said casually. "As you know the minister was fired. A lot of people gathered to nominate 3 people for the minister position and one person nominated you. I was at the meeting as well. People seem to think that you are very strong and would make a great minister."
"But I am only sixteen! I am still in school. Do I have time for all this?"
"Harry if you do become the Minister of Magic you will make time. You are already ahead of the other students along with Miss Granger. You did get all your OWLS."
"But won't that change everything?" Harry asked.
"Harry," Sirius interrupted. "Think of all the good you could do. You are an understanding powerful wizard. If someone is in trouble you are always there even when you don't have to be. You are so loyal and trustworthy and now that everyone knows that you were telling the truth about Voldemort people think you would be great. Think of all the good you can do," he repeated.
Harry smiled. "Well will people have to call me minister?"
Everyone laughed.
"When will everyone vote? Is it like muggle voting? I didn't know wizards voted for this type of thing."
"We will find out on August 31st. That is a day before the start of school," Dumbledore explained.
"I am going to be the Minister of Magic," Harry muttered so nobody could hear. Sirius did hear him though and laughed.
The next day there was an order meeting in which Harry was invited to attend. Everyone was there including Moody, Snape McGonagall, Arthur and Molly Weasley, Tonks, Sirius, Lupin and many others who Harry recognized from the year before.
Dumbledore spoke to the group once everyone was sitting down. "Everyone thank you for once again coming to the meeting. Today Mr. Potter will attend because we have some things to discuss that involve him. First we need to deal with some other business. Sirius, how did your mission go?
"Surprisingly good," Sirius said. "I was able to contact Fallyn Amory and she can transfer to Hogwarts this upcoming year. She will be in her 6th year. She is also coming by the Hogwarts express on the 1st.
"Thank you Sirius. Severus any news on Voldemort's upcoming actions?"
"He is furious that Potter is nominated for the Minister position. He is trying to do anything he can to get Lunskig the spot because he's a deatheater. He hasn't told us any plans yet."
"Thank you Severus," Dumbledore nodded. "That brings us to some very good news. Two people who would make great minister were nominated yesterday. Mr. Arthur Weasley and Mr. Harry Potter. I personally think either of them could do the job well."
Harry looked at Mr. Weasley and turned red. He felt a little guilty about being nominated against his best friends dad. He wasn't even sure if he really wanted to be the Minister. He was just 16 and not even out of school. People were trying to force him to grow up too fast and Harry didn't know if he wanted it to be like that. There was so much good he could do but Mr. Weasley could do just the same. Whatever happens happens.
"I think Harry would make a fine Minister," Mr. Weasley said. And Harry I don't mind that it is between the two of us. I know you were just as surprised as me."
Harry nodded and plastered a small grin on his face.
"What are the chances of Lunskig getting the job?" Someone asked.
"Very slim. I personally think Arthur and Harry have a big chance. If either of them become the Minister of Magic then that could be a very big advantage but if Lunskig does it will be the exact opposite." Dumbledore said hesitantly. "Now as for what Mr. Potter and Arthur can do to help if and when they do get the spot are many things. Harry knows the names of many deatheaters that could be locked up and the ones that are also involved with the ministry. This could bring down some of the highest deatheaters. Luscius Malfoy is in Azkaban now. They caught him a while ago but they didn't make it public. Harry or Arthur could do great things to help the Wizarding community."
"Don't you think Potter may be a bit young?" Snape hissed.
"I personally have no doubt that Harry will indeed make a great minister and I also believe that Harry has been through more than any grown wizard I know and that he is ready for a job like this. It all comes down to whether he wants it," Dumbledore said smoothly.
Everyone turned their gaze on Harry. Harry was once again on the spot. He couldn't let everyone down. Not when they were needing him most. He could do so much for everyone but he was just 16. Harry really didn't want to do it but he forced himself to nod. Dumbledore gave Harry a knowing look and Lupin gave him a reassuring one.
"Remus, Did you accomplish anything on your little visit to Lestrange?" Dumbledore asked the ghost sitting beside Sirius.
Lupin nodded. "Well I first went to try and get her back for what she did. I guess you could say I haunted her and she got really annoyed. I found out as much as Severus after awhile so I left." Harry could tell that if Remus weren't translucent he would probably be blushing.
After awhile of comparing notes Dumbledore dismissed everyone but Harry stayed to talk to him.
"Harry, on August 31st you will get a note if you are to become the minister. There will be a portkey with it and it will take you directly to the Ministry of Magic where you will gain lots of information."
Harry nodded. "When will I come back?"
"Most likely the next day before the train arrives."
"Okay," said Harry.
"Oh and you should know that you will be missing quite a lot of school but I know that you will make it up when possible. You are the head of your class along with Miss Granger so I think she will be able to tell you what you have been missing. Are you sure you want to do this Harry?" The headmaster asked.
"Yes," he whispered. He didn't really want to do it. He felt like he had to and he could do so much good with his power.
Harry left after Dumbledore walked downstairs. He found Sirius, Lupin, Ron and Hermione sitting in the kitchen.
"What's it like being a ghost Professor?" Hermione asked.
"It's quite interesting Hermione. I would much rather be a human/werewolf but I am glad that I am here to help with everything and be with my favorite people."
"Will you stay here forever?" Ron asked looking silently shocked as he stared at his old professor.
"That I am not sure of," he sighed. Harry then decided to make himself known in the room. No one knew he was there because they were too busy staring at Professor Lupin.
"Hi guys!" Harry greeted with a smile.
"Hello Harry, or should I say minister?" Ron laughed.
"Harry why didn't you tell us?" Hermione asked.
"Well I didn't know. Can you believe Sirius is back?" Harry asked changing the subject.
"Well technically I never left," Sirius exclaimed.
"Yeah, I did," Lupin said.
"Harry why didn't you read any of our letters?" Ron asked with a hint of aggravation in his voice.
"I kind of didn't realize they were there," Harry blushed.
"What do you mean you didn't realize. I thought you loved getting letters from us?"
"I do love getting letters Hermione. I wasn't really thinking about the letters though. I was too busy thinking about.." Harry stopped but then smiled. "Nevermind. I did get the gifts you sent me though. Thanks a lot for everything."
Harry had gotten a book from Hermione, sweets from Ron and other little things from different people. He opened them that morning.
Time past by quickly for Harry. He spent August at Grimmauld place being with Sirius, Lupin, Ron, and Hermione. Ginny and the other Weasley's hadn't come. Hermione and Ron came to keep Harry company even though he already had his dad's two best friends.
Soon it was the morning of August 31st. Harry was the first one up and showered quickly and ran downstairs. He was soon greeted by other people who were all waiting to find out who the minister would be.
Harry watched the clock tick as the seconds went by slowly. Then in the middle of breakfast a letter finally came. A gray owl flew in and dropped a letter in Harry's eggs. Harry opened it as the eyes of Sirius, Lupin, Hermione, Ron, Tonks, and Moody were staring directly at him with pure anticipation. Harry opened it and took out a piece of parchment.
