Chapter 5: Auror's Duty

"Bye darling of to work!" Harry said gleefully jogging to the fireplace.

"MINISTRY," Harry shouted throwing the powder down.


As Harry stepped out of one of the many fireplaces along the ministry wall a small man greeted him.

"Hello Mr. Potter, I'm Mr. Jason, your supervisor. Come this way."

Mr. Jason led Harry top a small office. It had a small desk, two chairs, and an owl perch.

"We will send you an owl when you are needed and after you finish the task you will write a report on how it went," Mr. Jason said leaving the room.


Harry sat at his desk. He took a blank sheet of paper and began to write a note.

Ginny,

My first day at work so far…

An owl flew through Harry's office door. Harry quickly untied the piece of paper.

Potter, please report to Mr. Jason's office immediately.

Harry did as he was told.


"Good, you're here," Mr. Jason said stiffly.

"I would like you to go with Brad this a task," Mr. Jason said.

"Okay sir," Harry said respectfully.


"What's going on?" Harry questioned Brad as they strutted through the halls towards the fireplace.

"We have found a former death eater who is trying to bring the other followers of he-who-must-not-be-named to power, we decided to deal with it sooner rather than later," Brad finished.

"And does this death eater have a name?" Harry asked inquisitively.

"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy," Brad said.

"It just got personal," Harry said clenching his fists.


"Be very quiet, Harry," Brad whispered.

Harry nodded drawing out his wand out. Knock, knock, knock. Draco answered the door.

Both wands pointed at his face Draco asked "Why are you here," rather calmly for a man who was about serve a life term in Azkaban.

"Sastifi," Pansy screamed rushing to her husband's side.

The spell knocked Harry and Brad of there feet and sent them swiveling into a trellis.

"Papoto," Harry screamed.

This knocked the wands out of Pansy and Draco's hands. They both leaped to grab them, as they did Brad stunned Pansy. Draco quickly undid this spell and Pansy jumped to her feet.

This went one and for several minutes. Then Draco nipped his broom and took of. Harry and Brad jumped one their brooms and immediately followed. The harsh cool September breeze battered his face as he flew full speed into the air. Harry caught up with Draco.

"Give it up," Harry said angrily.

"Why would I ever give up to you," Draco said eyeing Harry up and down.

"You little twit," Harry shouted blood rushing to his face.

Draco pulled his wand out of his robes.

"KNIFERMO!" Draco yelled.

A flash of sparks sizzled out of Draco's wand. Harry fell of his broom and drooped hundreds of feet. Brad made a quick decision to help Harry. Brad dived down to the ground were he found Harry knocked out blood dripping from everywhere.


"Harry, Harry, oh Harry," Ginny sobbed over her husband.

"He's waking," Hermione said as Harry began to rustle.

"Wha…t," Harry began tiredly, "happened."

Brad took over, "Harry, you and I were flying and Malfoy hit you with a unknown spell, it did a lot of damage. The healers fixed everything, but you can't work for five weeks."

"I guess it's just and Auror's duty," Harry weakly smiled.
