Ministers, Books, and Orders
McGonagall's POV
McGonagall fiddled with the sleeve of her robe. She hated suspenseful waiting, especially when it was for an important decision.
The runners had given their speeches and witches and wizards were piling around whispering excitedly.
She spotted Arthur easily enough, with his vivid red hair, and gave him an encouraging smile. He had spoken well, and it was obvious that he was telling what he believed.
He had been last to speak, and it was all McGonagall could do not to shout at them. 'This isn't Hogwarts. They have a right to their own opinion and I can't put them in detention..'
But she lost all control when a ministry worker approached the podium and declared in a loud voice, "The new Minister is Arthur Weasley! Congratulations and may he lead us well in these approaching dark times!"
McGonagall cheered right along with the crowd, it was nice to know that something had gone right this summer.
McGonagall made her way over to a grinning Arthur whose face was almost as red as his hair, but as she moved through the crowed she stopped and smiled as she saw, in the back of the crowed, Percy Weasley quietly applauding for his father.
"Congratulations Arthur!" she said when she reached him.
He grinned at her and nodded his thanks.
"Does your family know?"
"Not yet! Once I get out of this mob I'll tell them! Oh this is great; it feels like things are finally going right!"
McGonagall couldn't stop grinning, "My thoughts exactly Arthur!" 'More than you know'
Ron's POV
Ron paled as he read through Harry's letter.
Ron and Hermione, Wormtail broke into our house last night! He was in my room looking through my letters. He was looking for the one that you wrote to me saying I could come over, but I woke up before he read it.
But it gets worse, he found out about some of my new powers! Not all of them thankfully and not the one I haven't used yet. You know which one.
Moony and I are going to add more wards to the house. He's written Dumbledore to ask him about it. I have lots more to tell you, but it will have to wait till school.
Moony's put a spell on this so only you can open it, but burn this when you're done with it.
Wishing your dad the best of luck, Harry
This couldn't be true he thought. Harry was safe with Remus. Wormtail couldn't have gotten in.
But he did.
And he's probably telling You-Know- Who all about Harry's new powers.
Suddenly a desperate feeling rose in Ron, he needed to tell someone, he needed to help Harry.
He forced himself to walk down the stairs having tripped down them many times when in a hurry. As he walked he noted again how quiet the house really was.
He and Ginny hadn't talked much about what had happened in the ministry; at least not to the family. She, Hermione, and Ron had talked about it a few times over the summer, when they were trying to communicate with Harry.
He smiled slightly at the pink stain on the twins' bedroom door. Harry had surprised Ron when he had said he wanted to pull a prank on the twins, heck he had surprised everyone when he had pulled a prank on them.
He had jinxed on of their Weasley's Wildfire Wiz-bangs to chase them around while throwing gobs of pink pain at them. Ron had nicked one from Fred and George for Harry.
His smile faded slightly, Harry's prank was one of the few things that had made them laugh in a while.
When he reached the ground floor of the house he found the others grouped around the fireplace waiting for dad to come home.
It was wicked that his father was chosen to run for minister, everyone had listened to him as he prepared his speeches and were now eagerly waiting to hear the results.
They looked up as Ron came into the room.
"Ron dear, are you all right? You look awfully pale."
"Wormtail broke into Harry's house last night. Found out about some of his powers and looked through some of his letters." Ron said tonelessly.
Mrs. Weasley, Hermione, and Ginny gasped and the twins swore.
"Is Harry alright?" Hermione asked urgently.
Ron nodded and handed her the letter. She read over it and breathed a soft sigh of relief, "At least he doesn't know about that one....." she said softly.
The letter was passed around a few times more before Mrs. Weasley threw it into the fire.
They all sat in silence for a moment. The strange feeling that you get when you think everyone is safe and all the bad things are over and then something happens and you realize that things aren't so safe fell over them all.
One glance at his mother told Ron that she was holding herself back from running over to Moony's Mansion just to see Harry and Remus were safe for herself.
Their thoughts however were interrupted by the fire turning a bright emerald green and Mr. Weasley's beaming face appeared.
Tonk's POV
'One thing I love about Hogwarts it that there are fewer things to trip over!' Tonks thought as she wandered around the empty halls, only to end up on the floor from tripping over a leg of armor that Peeves decided shouldn't be attached any more.
She picked herself up as usual and heard a 'clunk' 'clunk' "For goodness shakes! Tonks can't you keep your own two feet on the ground?"
"Hey Mad-eye!" Tonks said cheerfully to used to this to comment on.
Mad-eye shook his grizzly mane of hair and said, "Come on order meeting's in the Great Hall.
"Already?"
"Its one isn't it?"
"Wouldn't know don't wear a watch." Tonks answered cheerfully and followed Mad-eye to the Great Hall.
Dumbledore's POV
Dumbledore smiled at the blushing Arthur as he was congratulated by the order members. Molly was sitting beside him beaming all the while.
His smile shifted into a look of concern when Remus entered the room. He looked very tired, and if Dumbledore wasn't mistaken he had probably not gone to sleep since Wormtail broke into the house.
However he smiled at Arthur when he reached him, "Congratulations Arthur!"
Arthur smiled and opened his mouth, but he was cut off by Molly, "Oh Remus you look exhausted! How's Harry? Didn't he come to the meeting? Ron and Hermione got his letter and were so worried and very upset when I didn't let them come-"
"MOLLY!" Remus cut her off, "Relax Harry and I are fine. Harry's here but he went to help Hagrid get ready for his trip to look for the giants. He and Hagrid will be here in a little bit. Why didn't you let Ron and Hermione come?"
"Oh that's so good to hear! They have to go to Diagon Alley to get school supplies and Fred and George have agreed to go with them."
Remus nodded, then glanced at the door, "Well here's Harry now."
Even Dumbledore leaned over a little to see him. Harry looked much better than when Dumbledore had last seen him.
His skin had much more color to it, he wasn't skin and bones, and he was smiling. Harry congratulated Mr. Weasley and reassured Mrs. Weasley that he was fine.
Then he took a seat between Remus and Dumbledore.
"Here you are Harry." Dumbledore said handing Harry two books, "That ought to help you with your wards."
Harry nodded and looked down at the second book before bursting into laughter.
Dumbledore beamed at him, it was so good to hear him laugh normally again.
Remus looked over Harry's shoulder then groaned once he caught sight of the title, 'The Art of Becoming Multi-Animagi'
"How did you know?" Harry asked Dumbledore.
Dumbledore just gave him a mysterious smile and began the meeting.
Wormtail's POV
'Of all the revolting indignations! Why that over grown mangy-'
"You have information I hope Wormtail."
That cold voice was all it took to shake Wormtail out of his self-pitying fury. He bowed before the dark lord.
"Y-yes Master. P-Potter has the new powers Occlumency, L- Legilimency, Guardians, and M-Magic Core."
"I see.... Where does he go on full moons?"
"I d-don't know, m-my lord. I was d-discovered b-before I could find-"
"Crucio!"
Wormtail screamed in pain and writhed on the floor.
"You worthless rat! I told you to find out!"
He released Wormtail from the curse, "M-master I'm s-so s-sorry. Please forgive m-me."
"Who discovered you? What happened?"
"P-Potter woke up. I h-had to r-run. L-lupin t-tried to hex me b-but I got away..."
The dark lord gave a disdainful sniff, "As weak and cowardly as you are Wormtail you did give me some useful information. I won't kill you because of that. The school year is going to start soon. I want you to go to Hogwarts and watch Potter. Report anything you find. Go."
With a quick bow Wormtail left the room wondering how he would make it through the year without getting caught.
A/N I know short, but now that I have school again I don't have as much time to write, sorry. Animagi hopefully in the next chappie. More reviews the faster it comes out! The animagi forms I've heard of so far are- wolf/werewolf, phoenix, nundu/ nuncamy, Jaguar.....
Thanks
Sasinak- I know the only reason I really have is a lot of my reader want it. It would also give Harry another advantage over Voldie. Yeah Harry doesn't fit a stag. Hummmm what would you chose him to be? Glad you like!
Crystal wolf=P- hummm you're not the only one that thinks so.... Regular Jaguar or nuncamy? Thanks Bolt.....hummmm maybe
Spork and Foon- nah Harry's char. Does suit a phoenix. More Dumbledore and Harry interaction during school year. Just a little bit longer.
Hermionegreen- thanks! Wow! I really like the name Kenani! Thanks for telling me about it! Maybe I'll use that one! Thanks!
Tigrislupa- thanks! Hummm like that idea.. Moony-me? *snickers* maybe... Nundu.... that's one I haven't heard good idea! Nice nicknames! Yeah homework is a pain! Especially if that homework includes studying for tests! Wow thanks!
PhoenixPadfoot89- hey great to see that you've updated your fic 'End of term feast' great job! Poor Dumbly. People forget that he's only human. Thanks! That's true good point! I know I couldn't think of any when I realized he needed one. You too!
Dracozchick- hummmm... Well I love pirates of the Caribbean! Johnny! Ah well being normal is highly overrated so I hear! Thanks!
Athenakitty- hummm yeah I think so! Haha! Caught you again without using a question! There's hope for you yet! I don't know how many forms do you think he should have? Not too many...
Nicoletta- what should the normal one be? *sigh* alright I won't let them eat Harry.. Oh dear! Be nice to your char. Or she might gather the rest of the gang and rebel! Or you can get a big pointy stick... Oh dear too much exposure to older brothers.. hummm I wonder...
Kimmy-look-at-moi- cool! Have fun! Don't worry! Not really ego just boredom and ability. Good point I'll try not to leave them hanging for more than a chappie.... Thanks! Yeah there's some in this chapter but they will play bigger parts when Harry's at school. But if Harry's a metamorphmegas than wouldn't he be able to hide his scar? Can't wait till you get back and hope you have a good time!
LittleEar BigEars's sis- thanks don't worry I couldn't think of any either! Oh I understand that! I have two older brothers!
Wynjara- yes probably not for the teachers though! Lol Definitely something that flies
Kemenran- more comin'
Scarysecrets- yeah! Great to read your reviews again! Keeping with tradition huh? Oh dear a bald Dumbledore! Hehe glad you like! I would vote for him too! Very warish! Thanks! Hehe imagine though how much he could scare filch though! And mrs. Norris!! Lol! Oh dear not for kiddies eh? Oh I know a few people who did the same thing!! Humm you're right if McGonagall has time I guess she could! Love the long reviews!
Kraeg001- thanks!
