Dumbledore went on with the meeting to talk about several different things. Snape explained some plans Voldemort was concocting and how there has been mentions of disloyalty among some of the deatheaters. Of course there was always talk about spies but now there was a little more. Harry insisted the Snape not go to anymore deatheater "meetings" but Dumbledore told him that it wasn't a possibility.
Yet.
The headmaster also praised Harry about a job well done as minister so far and Harry told everyone in the room about Arthur Weasley becoming the assistant.
After the meeting Arthur followed Harry into his quarters and Harry conjured some tea and sat down.
"Are you sure about this Mr. Weasley?" asked Harry serving his best friend's dad some tea.
"It would be an honor Harry," Arthur replied.
"Well then I guess I should explain some things," Harry began.
Arthur nodded.
"Well my assistant, Acacia Monarch, suggested that I have an assistant minister. Technically I can only do my job part time and I think that is unacceptable. I also think some people at the ministry believe my age to be a problem so it would do a lot of good for an adult who has been working at the ministry for quite some time to be in a position of great power. I will however be able to take over completely once I graduate."
"Of course," Mr. Weasley said. "Will I have to go on missions and hold hearings?"
"You will have all the authority that I have when I am unable to be here. Albus has set my timetable so I have no classes after 3:00 p.m so I will be there after that time."
"Okay, I will do all that I can to help Harry."
Harry grinned. He always felt like Mr. Weasley was someone he could depend on. Almost like a father figure but not as much as Sirius.
"Great!" Harry exclaimed. Then there was a knock at the door and someone was calling out to him.
"Harry, mate can I come in?" Ron screamed knocking on Harry's entrance.
Harry flicked his wand so the door was open.
"Hey Harry," said Ron coming in not noticing his dad. "I think that- Hey dad! What are you doing here.Wait is this about the assistant minister thing? Sorry to interrupt," Ron said and blushed realizing he was barging in on probably an important meeting.
"It's okay Ron. We were just finished. Mr. Weasley, I can give you a portkey to your office so you can go tomorrow. Acacia will show you around the wing and tell you a little more about what you can do. It is kind of late now so you don't have to go tonight."
"Sounds fine Harry. You know, you are really getting responsible."
"Thanks Mr. Weasley."
Mr. Weasley left and Harry and Ron were alone. Ron was grinning.
"Hey Harry can we go see where you work?"
"Sure!" Harry said suddenly getting excited. "But first let's get some people to come."
Harry went to the Gryffindor common room to find Hermione. Just like they thought she would be, their friend was sitting in front of the fire.
"Hey Mione," Harry greeted plopping himself down on the couch crushes Hermione's legs.
"Ow!" Hermione screeched.
"Sorry."
"It's okay Harry. How are you?"
"Fine, do you want to come to my office with Ron and me?"
"Yeah we are going to see where he works!" said Ron happily.
"Isn't it a little late?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione," Harry protested. "I am the minister so I can go out late. It is only ten anyway."
"Okay, I will see if Ginny wants to come."
Hermione went to go get Ginny and Harry told them he would meet them at his dormitory in 15 minutes. Harry went to Sirius' and knocked on the door. Sirius opened the door and smiled when he saw it was Harry.
"Hey Harry, just because you're the minister what makes you think that you can roam the halls after curfew whenever you want?" Sirius laughed letting his godson in.
"Sirius," Harry said. "Even before I was minister I went out after curfew."
"Just like me," Sirius said proudly.
"Sirius are you ever going to grow up?"
"Not any more than I already have." Sirius laughed. "What are you doing here after curfew again anyway?"
"Again with the curfew," Harry muttered witch made Sirius smile. "First of all I am allowed to be out after curfew and I wanted to know if you want to come with Ginny, Ron, Hermione and me? We are going to portkey to my office at the ministry in a couple minutes to. They all want to see it. I want Moony to come too. You can meet my assistant to if she is there. She probably is."
"What's his name?"
"HER name is Acacia Monarch."
"Great. I will go get him and meet you 4 in your room in 5 minutes."
"Okay," Harry said and went to his room to find the door open and 4 of his friends sitting down drinking some of Harry's supply of pumpkin juice.
"Hey guys, how did you get in here?" Harry asked.
Everyone looked at Ron.
"I heard you say the password mate," Ron said.
"This place is beautiful Harry," Ginny said. She could now talk to Harry like a normal person. She had finally gotten over her silly litter crush.
"Thanks Gin, Sirius and Lupin will be here any minute and then we can go."
"Actually we are here," Lupin said from the door way.
"Hello Professors." Hermione greeted from Harry's couch.
"Hermione, call me Remus or Moony if you like when we aren't in class. Haven't I told you all that?"
"Yeah, and you can call me Sirius because whenever someone calls me Professor I think of Snivellus."
Ginny and Ron laughed.
"Sirius, you really have to stop insulting Snape all the time especially when you are substituting for his class," Harry told him.
"Yeah, yeah."
"I'm serious!"
"No, I'm Sirius," Sirius joked.
"Sirius, that pun is getting really old!"
"He's right Padfoot. You have been using that joke for too long," Lupin smirked.
"Are we going or not?" Hermione asked getting a little annoyed.
"Yes. Everyone grab hold of the portkey on the count of 3." Everyone did just that except Remus.
"I'll follow you. I don't need a portkey. Just go."
Harry nodded and counted to three. Everyone touched the portkey and they were all soon in Harry's massive office.
"Where are we?" Ron asked. "Is this like the ministry's great hall?"
"No Ron," Harry said amused. "This is my office."
"This? It's huge!" Sirius said looking around.
"Hello Harry, I see that you've brought some people with you."
"Hi Acacia. This is Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Remus and Sirius Black."
Sirius looked at the pretty assistant standing in the doorway and a blush crept on his face.
"Hello," Sirius said suavely.
"Hello, I'm Acacia Monarch."
Sirius kissed her hand and her face turned scarlet.
"Ahem," Harry interrupted the two staring at each other admiringly.
"Hello Miss Monarch," Ron greeted stepping in front of Sirius. "Ron Weasley."
"Ahh, another Weasley. Hello, I have heard of your father and I have met Bill. Very nice fellow," She said at the blushing Ron.
"So would you all like a little tour?" Harry asked finally.
"Sure!" most of them said except Sirius who was back to staring at Acacia. She staring right back at him. Harry thought they looked like they were long lost lovers getting reunited or something.
"Okay this is my office and you all can look around here if you want. And this," Harry said walking over to a door opposite from Acacia's "is your dad's office Ron."
Harry opened the door and led them into another room.
"This is dad's office? It's more like a mansion. Well not really but it is as big as the Gryffindor common room."
"Dad will be ecstatic!" Ginny grinned.
The group spent a couple of hours drinking lots of butterbear from Harry's personal stash. Acacia and Sirius had firewhisky. By the time they portkeyed back to Hogwarts the gang was a little more than tipsy. Even though butterbeer didn't exactly have much alcohol in it a lot of it could make you feel different. When they got to Hogwarts it was nearing 2 a.m. Harry realized he probably made a mistake keeping his friends out this late on a school night but he seemed to forget it quickly as drifted off into a deep slumber.
The next morning Harry found himself in Headmaster Dumbledore's office. He had gotten an owl when he first woke up that said to please come after breakfast.
"So Mr. Potter, I heard you had quite a lot of fun last night," Dumbledore said with a smile and the twinkle in his eye that he usually had.
"Yes sir," Harry said a little nervously. Was this why he was here? To talk about him keeping his friends out and taking them off school grounds.
As if reading Harry's mind Dumbledore spoke. "Although that isn't the reason I asked you to come here I would like to ask you not to keep students out so late on a school night. I know Minerva would be furious that her Gryffindor's got drunk at 2. a.m."
Harry nodded with a slight blush on his face. As an afterthought Dumbledore continued. "I do know however that you had two professors with you so I can't really blame you for them not being responsible."
Dumbledore smiled and Harry nodded.
"So why am I here?" Harry asked. He was grateful that he wasn't in trouble. Harry wondered if he would ever get in trouble now that he was minister. He wasn't trying to act stuck up about it but he had to admit that he had a lot more freedom.
"I have some things to discuss with you, Draco Malfoy, and Fallyn Amory."
"Great," Harry muttered as Malfoy walked in soon followed by Fallyn. They took a seat near Harry without question and waited for the old man to speak.
Dumbledore saw them sit and began. "Thank you for coming. Although we-"
"Excuse me sir but who is we?" Fallyn asked shyly.
"I will talk about that a little later Miss Amory," Dumbledore said and continued when Fallyn nodded. "As I was saying, although we haven't figured out what exactly you three have to do we know that it is you all who are going to have to defeat the dark lord."
Fallyn let out a small squeak which grabbed Dumbledore's attention.
"I know this is all a lot to carry but you will not be alone which brings me to why you 3 are here."
Harry stared at Dumbledore intently and knew there was something the old man was up to.
"You will be training three hours a day everyday. Different Professors such as myself will work with you on dueling, hand to hand combat and defense. You will start everyday at 3:00 p.m and end at 6:00 p.m for dinner.
"But what about my job? I have to be at the ministry sometimes!" Harry practically yelled.
"Harry, calm down." Dumbledore said reassuringly. "I am allowing you to drop some classes so you will be finished everyday by noon. You will have time to go there and do what you need at noon until three. Then you can go back there if necessary after dinner. You are going to drop History of magic since you will be learning a lot about that. You also do not need Herbology, Divinations or Care of Magical Creatures."
"What about us?" Malfoy yelled stomping his foot on the ground.
"Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said calmly. "You need to understand that being the minister is very important and that he knows more than most teachers. He may not always pay attention in class but he does know certain things. It is like Harry is taking extra schooling now that he is the minister. He will also have to be at the ministry for the most part of the day running errands and dealing with a lot of different things."
"So," Harry interrupted. "I wake up, go to class, and go to work, training and more work. When will I have time for Quidditch or doing anything normal?"
"Harry, this is unfortunate for you I'm afraid but you do not have to always be at work now that you have Arthur Weasley as your assistant,"
"I know,"
"When will we start training?" Fallyn asked changing the subject.
"Your first dueling session is with Sirius Black and me. It starts at 3:00 p.m and is in an empty classroom right next to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Also I suggest that you pack up all your belongings before you go so you don't have to do it the last minute before you move."
"What?" they all yelled in unison.
"That is correct. You will all be moving into a large dormitory together. There are two bedrooms but you all have to share the common room and bathroom," Dumbledore said nonchalantly.
"But what about the room I already have?" Harry said.
"I realize that Harry but if you are all going to work together you first need to get along. Mr. Malfoy, you and Mr. Potter have gotten along better but not enough. I want you all to be civil to each other and get to know one another."
"But-"
"When will we get to go back to our REGULAR room?" Malfoy drawled.
"Not until after you have completed the task ahead of you. You will all be spending a lot of time together training and in the common room. Now, I want you all to go to your class and I will see you at 3:00 p.m."
Everyone left without another word feeling slightly more disappointed.
"Potions Potter," Malfoy hissed and headed towards the dungeon. Harry growled but hesitantly followed making sure is was at lead 10 feet behind the conceited Slytherin.
Harry thought potions would never end. Snape assigned Harry and Malfoy partners. Ever since Harry had gotten better in the class he had been doing his potions right. Malfoy and Harry were the first ones finished and they managed to not talk to one another the whole time.
After Transfigurations and Potions and hardly any lunch at all Harry used a portkey and went to his office. He tended to some things that needed taking care of and he held of trial for a man who used dark magic. It turned out he was mentally ill so Harry sent him to St Mungo's Department for the Criminally Insane.
At 2:45 Harry left and went straight to the place Dumbledore had told him. Malfoy and Fallyn were already there talking quietly to each other but clearly not getting along too well. Dumbledore walked in soon after Harry.
The room reminded Harry of the one they used for dueling back in Harry's second year except it didn't have any tables. It had a couple chairs in the corner and a really big red carpet covering half the floor.
"Okay everybody, come over here and we will start," Dumbledore said. Sirius then walked in and stood besides Harry.
"Sirius and I will each throw hexes at you one at a time. You will face both of us separate and then if you succeed you will go against the both of us. You have to disarm us to win. Understand?"
Everyone nodded but looked and felt very nervous for having to face Dumbledore.
"Harry you go first," Sirius said.
Harry went first and managed within a half an hour to disarm both of them separate and then when they were together. Draco was next and although he beat Sirius he couldn't disarm the headmaster. Fallyn was last and she nervously fought Sirius. After about 10 minutes she managed to disarm him. She lost to Dumbledore like Draco though.
They did this until 5:45 when Dumbledore told them to go pack. "The entrance to your room is a painting of a phoenix next to the one-eyed witch statue. The password is 'founders.' Sirius will you be so kind to help them with there belongings?"
Sirius nodded and the last thing Harry heard before he turned to go to his dormitory that he would no longer be able to keep was Malfoy.
"Stupid phoenix, that's a Gryffindor animal," Malfoy muttered then stalked off to the Slytherin common room.
