While Sharing an Office

AN: This was originally a one-shot that I produced and when I finished I discovered that it was about 40 pages long so I'm dividing it up into 3 chapters. Once again thanks a lot to Az-chan who helped and reviewed everything in the long time it took me to do this, and again thanks to Karumichan whose just always there.

A furious blonde stormed down the hallways towards the Minister of Magic's office. Furry shone in her crystalline blue eyes, she had not gone to the Auror academy for two years to be assigned a babysitter. "Minster Fudge!"

The Minster looked up from his mounds of paperwork pilling up from the Tri Wizard tournament, "Yes, Auror Corona. How may I assist you?"

"How can you assist me? How about taking away the babysitter you have stuck me with."

"What ever could you be talking about?"

"I'm talking about this." The angry blonde Auror Serena Corona slapped down a packet of papers, "How you're assigning me a partner, who hasn't even gone to the Auror Academy. Stricklywill have a fit. Not only will he get in the way, he's inexperienced. He has never been in a real battle before."

"Miss Corona, my intentions were to never insult you."

Yeah right, thought the skinny blonde.

"My intentions were to have my assistant to observe the Auror process, by obverving one of our new graduiates for the next how every many years.

You mean until the war is over. A flash of an unknown emotion ran through her body. It was that of hate. How could one hate another human being? It was next to impossible to enrage the blonde Serena Corona this much. But Minister Fudge had succeeded.

"As you wish Minister" Serena stormed out of the office, her swishing robe knocking over a stack of papers.

The Minster looked sad. It had taken him nearly an hour to get all those papers organized.

He took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyes. He was getting entirely to old for this job. He couldn't keep up with all of his employees. But he knew that Serena was for a fact one of Dumbledore's main supporters. And he knew if only given the chance she would jump and help her old school master in his foolish battle.

Cornelius thought back to the other day, when he had asked Percy Weasly to watch over the Auror, Serena Corona.

It had been another hectic day at the Ministry since the death of Cedric Diggory at the Tri Wizard Tournament. A lot of cover up and lies.

Percy Weasly had walked into the office as he usually did, carrying his cup oftea and handing it off to the Minister.

The Minster was grateful for thetea having stayed up the last twenty-four hours trying to find hidden Dumbeldore supporters in his Ministry of Magic.

He had finally found one for sure. A dangerous one. Yes of course their was the Weasly family excluding Percy Weasly himself, and a few others that had aligned themselves with Dumbeldore for the last years. Merlin's beard, Dumbledore must have been planning his take-over during the days of You-Know-Who.

Cornelius carefully removed an Auror's file from the stack that had taken the last hour to stack. He flipped through a couple of pages and found one that held her moving pictures showing her smiling and waving around her Auror training certificate.

Now I just need someone who will follow Serena around and make notes about her, to find out what Dumbledore is up to.

Percy paused at the Ministers desk during his morning schedule, "Minister why are you starring at that Auror's file?"

Of course Weasly could go. He was loyal enough. He would denounce his own family if I promised him a raise. "Weasly, I need to assign a task to you. It is something only you can perform, and you must not speak to it about anyone."

Percy's chest puffed up with pride as Cornelius pushed the right flattery buttons to get what he wanted done accomplished. "Of course sir, I will do anything that is within my power to aid the Ministry."

Cornelius inwardly smiled a devious smile at the success of his manipulation.

Serena grumbled at her desk reviewing the piling up paperwork of her next case, wondering why the Ministry was sending a low level detective all these wonderful cases that obviously not even a high level detective could crack.

A creak of the old door of her office told her that someone had entered without knocking. She looked up to see a red headed man who looked a little younger than her. He was slightly pudgy and looked like he could be a lapdog for any high-ranking official, "Did they not teach you to knock?"

The tips of the red-headed boys ears turned red, she couldn't tell weather it was from anger or embarrassment, "I am your new reviewer you best be courteous to me."

"Last I heard the only one who can review me is a higher ranking Auror. And you are most defiantly not one. You're only here to babysit me and make sure I don't do anything worth suspision."

The redheaded boys hands shook with anger at her blatant disrespect for his authority, "I am Percy Weasly, secretary to the Minster of Magic himself."

"Still doesn't explain why you can't use a door."

Percy's face went as red as his hair, "That is no way to treat someone who is in my station."

"Right... I assume you know my name, Serena Corona."

"I've heard all about you. You are new Auror who passed the magic part of her Auror exam, OWL, and NEWT with flying colors, but the written portion you failed miserably."

Serena blushed slightly, "I don't see how they can test us, through examinations. Some people are just naturally bad test takers."

Percy got a smug look on his face, "Convenient excuse. What is the case your working one right now?"

Serena growled, "Why is it any one your business."

Percy's smile got wider, "If you haven't already heard I'm your new partner."

Serena put the folder filled with papers on her case in front of her face, "I heard."

"Are you going to tell me? Or am I going to rush into the scene without a clue."

Serena slammed the folder on the table, "Two muggle tourists were found dead in a park in London. It is suspected that magic was involved in the killing."

"Why?"

Serena dug out a stack of photos and through the motionless pictures on the table.

Percy looked at them with a puzzled expression, "Why isn't anything moving?"

"Wouldn't you be the tiniest bit freaked out if a dead body started moving? Besides if you look closely enough the blades of grass are moving."

Percy inspected the photos closer to prove that the blonde was correct, "I still do not see why you believe magic was used."

Serena filed through a number of papers before she found the one she was looking for and held it up for Percy to read, "I don't get cases unless there is almost 100 belief that magic was involved. I was one of the top of my magic tracking class. I have a knack for finding sinister plots and evil."

Percy studied the sheet of paper, "The muggle said that he saw two robed figures kill the two muggles in the park."

"Yes, the victims apparently withered around in pain, before a green flash was seen and the victims were killed. The other muggles around didn't remember anything like that so it is possible that a mass Memory Charm was preformed to wipe out the muggle's memories and erase any witness for the Ministry to find."

"How did this muggle escape the charm?"

"When he saw the two getting tortured by what we expect is the Crucatius Curse the witness ran at least one hundred feet away from the scene. Most mass Memory Charms have a radius of one hundred feet. Only powerful wizards such as Albus Dumbledore or very old, experience and powerful Aurors could produce a mass Memory Charm that extended more than one hundred feet."

Percy was in awe at how much information this Auror possessed. He almost respected her until. She stretched back in her chair to yawn and fell over. Her blonde hair that reached her mid back in two pigtails that gave her a child-like quality were strewn all over the place. She got up and rubbed her head, picking up her chair she mumbled, "Haven't had a klutz attack like that in a while."

Percy shook his head wondering what the Minister was thinking making him watch this girl.

All of a sudden the Minister's words strummed through his ears "Weasly, I need to assign a task to you. It is something only you can perform..."

Percy gathered all of his pride, the Minister was counting on him to find the where hideout of Dumbledore's headquarters and if the Minister thought this girl knew about it, he had total blind faith to the Minister that he was correct.

Serena rolled her eyes as Percy stumbled around a crime scene hoping to find clues. She walked up behind Percy who was bent over the deceased body. A wealthy wizard 40 years old.

Around the room where the victims family, his father, his wife, and his son.

"Detective McGlover," called out Serena, "I've found this strange mark near on the victims neck."

Detective McGlover a heavyset man in his mid thirties walked over to the victim's body and inspected it, "It looks like a puncture wound."

Serena did a quick scan of the room. She walked over to the grieving family, to get an interview with the suspects. As she was walking over she tripped over her own feet. She landed on her face in the soft carpet, but not soft enough to keep her from hurting her knee.

Percy rolled his eyes and walked in front of Serena's body, "Honesty can you not go a day without tripping over your own two feet."

Serena grew flustered, "I can go a day. If a certain someone wasn't around to annoy me and get in my way, I could do my job, like I'm paid to do."

Serena was getting up when she saw a small silver object out of the corner of her vision. She saw Percy's foot go towards the object, "Wait Percy don't step over" she heard a little crunch as Serena's evidence went down the toilet, "there."

Serena quickly got up and pushed Percy away making him land on his bottom, "What is the meaning of this."

Serena took out a pair of tweezers and began to pick up the pieces of what seemed to be a needle and put them in a bag. She took the bag over to the desk and placed the micro sized pieces on the desk. She took out her wand and enlarged them. She opened up her evidence bag and took out a vial of poison indicator. She dipped a q-tip in the vial and rubbed it on the edge of the needle with it. She placed the q-tip in her used materials plastic bag. She took out her wand again from the holster the rested on her waist and whispered "Lumos" The tip of her wand light up and the end of the needle where she had placed the poison indicator turned blue.

"McGlover, we have a positive for poison on the needle I found."

The brown haired man walked next to the blonde looking over it, "Good work Corona. Bag it and send it to trace."

Serena nodded and cancelled her enlargement spell. She started to pick up the micro pieces with her tweezers again when Percy rolling his eyes and the blonde said, "Why bother doing that, why don't you just put it back together again." He took out his wand from the pocket in his blue robes.

"No wait don't..."

"Repairo."

Serena's face turned red, "YOU IDIOT!"

Percy's face turned red as well, "EXCUSE ME!"

Serena's face was inches away from the other boys face, them being almost the exact same height Percy taller by half an inch, "If you repair a piece of evidence all trace materials on it vanish."

Percy's furious face turned into a puzzled one, having never heard of this before, "What.."

"Vanishes, goes bye bye. Never to be found again. You just aided the killer. I can't believe you didn't read that in the manual I sent you home with."

Percy gulped having never read the manual, because he had been trying to keep tabs on Serena all night.

"In fact I can't believe Fudge sent such an incompetent excuse for a wizard to keep a watch on me in the first place." Serena stormed out of the room, her black Auror robe billowing behind her.

Detective McGlover came up behind Percy, "Hey kid, don't let her be so hard on you. She gets a little carried away. I'm sure we will find more evidence that tell us who the killer is. But I've got to tell you, read the manual it'll save us a lot of trouble in the future."

Percy nodded and walked out of the room after his 'partner' who was shaking in anger outside the main hallway, "I hate them all. All those stupid Ministry scum. It's the wife that did it I'm sure of it."

Percy came up behind her and touched her shoulder, Serena whirled around, "Don't touch me." Tears were coming down Serena's face, "Because of you another criminal will get away with their crimes leaving dozens of morning innocents left behind. Killing is wrong and people should be punished for it. And when they're released they must be forgiven of their crimes. But on my watch it'll be a long time before they're forgiven." Serena turned a corner sharply. Percy went to follow her when someone touched his shoulder, it was a man about 5 years old them himself, "I wouldn't follow her in such a rage. When push comes to shove she's like a cat waiting to bear her claws."

Percy walked down the hallway hoping that Serena would make a mistake in her rage, "I hate him Lita, and I absolutely hate him."

"Cheer up girl, at least you got a guy as your partner I've got Mina here who's been driving me crazy."

"Lita, don't tell me you don't like Mina."

"No Mina's cool and all, but seriously the girl never needs a break. She's all energy and I can never get a breather. Which is I guess a good thing because if it wasn't for her pushing I probably wouldn't get half of the work done that needs to get done."

Percy heard Serena's laughter.

"Serena girl, go home and rest your mind. The sun will rise tomorrow, and you'll have another crime, and another chance to put a criminal behind bars. I'll tell Detective McGlover for you."

"Thanks Lita."

He heard a fire crackle and, "Inner Planet Sanctuary" being shouted. Percy rounded the corner to see an auburn haired girl around Serena's age next to the fire.

"If you looking for Serena she just left. I assume you're her new partner. I'm Lita, one of Serena's roommates and friends from Hogwarts."

"You went to Hogwarts? I never saw you."

"Well I kept mostly to myself until fourth year when Serena decided to befriend me. She really is a sweet girl once you get to know her. She just really has this thing about justice. There were five of us at Hogwarts that were best of friends. Of course we were all in different houses and an unexpected group of friends and we all took jobs in the crime department of the Ministry so we all work together."

Percy nodded gathering all the information the talkative green-eyed girl was willing to give. "Yeah we were only one year ahead of you, I'm surprised you didn't know us." Percy didn't know what to think of the newly acquired information. If he had known Serena he surely would have recognized her when he met her.

Before Percy got to ask his question Detective McGlover walked into the room, "Where's Corona?"

Lita saluted, "She went home to cool off sir. She would only have caused more damage if she had stuck around."

McGlover scratched his head, "Well when you go home tonight Lucaise please tell her that all of the suspects had alibis and we'll need any information she may have found, but didn't talk about to try and find a clue who murdered this man."

"Yes Detective."

"Oh and Lucaise."

"Yes Detective."

"Don't give other officers the leave to go home without my permission next time."

Lita winced at the tone of his voice, "Yes Detective."

"Molly I swear your kid is the most annoying prat I've met since Lockhart!"

"Dear, Percy is just going to a rebellious phase, I'm sure he'll see the light soon and return to us."

"Hmm... as soon as that happens I'll eat my hat."

"Can I choose the hat?" asked a playful male voice.

"Hello Sirius, how are you today?"

"Fine, Harry came in last night. I'm sure he'll be down sometime this morning."

"I'll be happy to finally met the famous Harry Potter. I want to see what has got Voldermort all worked up."

Molly came up behind Serena and cuffed her in the back of the head, "Don't you be talking about Harry like that Serena. Of all the people you should know better."

Serena rolled her eyes at Molly's mother hen instincts.

A 15-year-old boy walked into the kitchen and put his tired black head on the table, "Morning" he mumbled.

"Morning Harry." Chirped Sirius.

Serena sipped some coffee, "Looks like someone gave the dog a little to much coffee."

Sirius play punched Serena's arm, "I'll have you know I don't have to drink coffee my body started naturally producing caffeine after 10 years of coffee use."

Serena rolled her eyes, "Well I'm pulling a double shift, I'm in the middle of an investigation, and I have to go back to work in about an hour." She sipped her coffee again.

Harry pulled his head up, "May I ask who you are?"

Serena smiled, "Well we have a polite one, finally. I swear all of these kids are so impolite I had about given up on the generation." Harry smiled a little, "Smiles look good on you Harry, and my name is Serena Corona. I'm a Detective Auror from the Ministry."

Harry's face went to a puzzle, "I've never heard of a Detective Auror."

Serena put her coffee cup down, because she had to talk with her hands, "Nobody does. We're the ones that solve all the cases that are in the Daily Prophet, but we never get any credit."

"Sounds fun."

Serena's watch made a buzzing noise, "Well back to work. I've got a double homicide case to deal with." Serena stood up, "Thank you for the coffee Molly." She apparented, leaving behind a popping noise.

"She seems nice," commented Harry.

"How can you say that about your own family!"

"Easily, they are nothing more than conspires that believe in a senile old man and a delusion boy."

Serena grew livid, "After all your family has done for you. After all the years you've know Potter and Dumbledore, you would go and believe some Minster who can't face reality."

"Minister Fudge is not in denial. He is right in his campaign against Dumbledore and Potter. They are nothing but crackpot wizards that need to be sent to St Mugo's before they hurt themselves and others."

Serena's forehead flashed with a quick golden glow. She reeled her hand back and slapped Percy.

He stepped back from the force of such a slap coming from such a small girl, "Don't ever insult Dumbledore, he has done more things for the wizarding community than Fudge will in his entire lifetime! He cares about the people, he's wise, and I won't let some snot nosed spoiled brat ruin his reputation, because you have no respect for real heroes." Serena whirled around and left Percy's office.

"I just don't know why I got so worked up Sirius."

Sirius laid a friendly hand on her shoulder, "We all do crazy things for people we care about."

"Kind of like you right."

Sirius smiled a sad and mournful smile, "Kind of like me."

"Oh Sirius, I'm sorry for bringing back bad memories." Serena went to hug Sirius.

He smiled and accepted the hug, "It was worse in Azkaban. All day it's the only thing I could think of. The warning signs that I had missed, what might have happened had I never done it. The only thing that kept me sane in all my years there was the fact that I was innocent," tears started to trickle down his face, "I had to keep on going for Harry. I had failed his father and I wasn't going to fail him." Tears started to make their way down Sirius' face.

He tried to hide them; his pride not letting him cry in front of another person, but Serena's hand stopped him, "Sirius, you have kept this bottled up for years. Let someone else help you." Sirius let out a small wail of despair, curled up in Serena's lap and cried on her shoulder. Serena lovingly stroked his hair trying to give comfort to the outlaw. Hoping that this was another step to mending his broken soul.

AN: Once again this is only the first part, you wouldn't believe the pains of trying to divde this up. Once again thanks to Az-chan and K-chan.
