Chapter 7

Auror training.

The 3 friends waited in a large room in the middle of the ministry of magic along side 3 others. The recruits all looked nervous. Everyone was wondering how long they would have to wait. Harry still couldn't believe that he had been accepted with his 2 other friends. Everyone knew that the course was 3 years long. The length of the course was the only thing that worried Harry; he wondered if after 3 years would be pass or fail?

Tonks walked in the room along side Mad eye moody.

"Welcome to you all and well done on your accepted applications"

Barked Mad eye.

Mad eye and Tonks introduces themselves to the small group.

"Today is a little different to what we normally do in Auror training. We are here to see how much you can already do and what you can't to see if we can fast track anyone! The reason why we are trying to fast track people is because the ministry is very short in Auror's and we need Auror's sooner than we would have thought.

"If you would split in to two groups I'll take one and mad eye the other." Tonks stated.

The 3 friends stood together while the other three huddled together. Harry's group was taken on by Tonks.

The day started of quite slow everyone was set a written test this part only took an hour.

Next began the practicals.

Boggarts

Transfiguration.

Patronesses

Summomering

Wand less magic only Harry could do this but it wasn't a piece of magic you needed it was just handy if you could

Different languages Hermione knew a little French and Harry knew parseltounge, yet again this wasn't necessary but helpful

Aiming

Basic knowledge of Ancient runes.

Team work

Ability to work on there own.

Curses

Blocking spells.

Researching

Potions

Disarming

Excellent knowledge of defense against the dark arts

Basic healing skills.

Nobody could believe how demanding the day was proving to be. It was now 19.00 and they knew the day was finally coming to an end. The three friends where doing well compared to the other group they had completed the list while the other group still had 4 more practices to do.

Everyone was waiting around again in the room. Mad eye and Tonks went of together to compared results and see where each individual would be placed and if they could be fast tracked in any area.

Finally the two instructors came back into the room each holding letters.

The two instructors passed the candidates there letters.

"Before you open your letters I must inform you what they will contain. Firstly it shall let you know on the areas you need help on, or need to learn. Also where you shall be placed, you can not tell people where you are going to be placed for security reasons. If you are to be fast tracked and the length your training will be. Oh and yes when your starting date will be."

Everyone opened there letters.

Harry Potter,

Congratulations on your remarkable assessment. There are a few areas in which you need some help. These areas's are as stated, basic healing short course, basic knowledge of Ancient Runes and potions. These training areas should take you 6 months or less to complete. You are going to be placed at the ministry of magic England. Your start date is 1st August. By doing further research and practicing before this date could also promote your changes of being eligible to be fast tracked even further.

Look forward to seeing you soon

Mrs L Lupin Tonks and Mr A Moody.

Ron's letter had said exactly the same while Hermione's was slightly different.

Hermione had to work also on basic healing but she had to learn to aim better this process should only take her 2 months to complete.

Hermione wasn't being sent to train in England she was being sent to Wales.

Mad eye walked over to the three friends.

"Before you all go back home I must say something to you. As we said you can not tell each other where you have been placed but you may tell each other in which area you need help, you three could help each other" Mad eye continued "Normally we don't allow this but considering you three do spend all your time together I don't see a problem with it. Also the reason you here have been fast tracked so much is mainly due to the ,knowledge you have gain whist defeating Voldemort"

The three friends took this information on board and left the ministry to return to be burrow.

Every one was still awake in the burrow. Everyone was awaiting the news following the Auror training.

As soon as they walked through the door it was obvious that the day had gone well.

The three took it in turns explaining what had happened throughout the day. It was well past midnight by the time everyone had finished giving there verdicts.

At last it was the day before the wedding and luckily nothing much needed to be organized. The only thing that needed to be done was the seating. The flowers were being delivered later that afternoon. The food was being delivered to the house in the morning so everyone was planning a relatively relaxing day, in which everyone needed.

Harry and Ron set up the seating arrangement and magically cleaned every chair.

Once the seating arrangement where sorted the 3 friends were having a quite chat about the pervious day.

"So then what have you lot gotta do I've gotta learn ancient runes, potions and a bit of healing" Harry asked wondering what the rest of them would have to do.

"I've got the same mate can't say I'm surprised though, what have you got Hermione bet you could go in right away hei"

"Honestly Ron I'm not that good I've gotta do aiming and basic healing"

"Aiming, but your brilliant at that, you taught me!"

Said Ron looking slightly confused how she wasn't good at it!

"Well I must admit I was surprised at that to, but I guess I had a bad day yesterday I wasn't feeling to well, when we did that I guess it was just nerves"

Hermione had always suffered with nerves but this was one area no one could understand why she would get nervous over this especially considering she was amazing at aiming during the war.

The three found a place around the side of the house and started to help Hermione on her aiming skills, this didn't take long she was fine perhaps it was just nerves getting the better of her!

"Hermione please could you help us with ancient runes considering you can do them it would be easier if you taught us a bit. Later on I'll ask Ginny to help us out with some healing techniques she knows quite a lot already"

Ancient runes were proving to be more difficult than anyone of them thought.

By midday Harry and Ron were just getting the basic drift on how to understand them but they knew it was going to take a long time to read whole sentences in them.

Hermione carried on teaching she seemed to be very good at it.

Ginny seemed to be getting very bored by herself in the house. Ginny knew they were trying to learn ancient runes so she had brought all of her old textbooks with her.

Hermione now with her new assistant Ginny started again by going through the beginning. Harry seemed to be doing better than this than Ron. Harry was surprised at this considering most of his family had all done this subject.

By late afternoon and they had finished covering the basics of runes the 2 young couples spent some time with each other before the big day.

Hermione knew that she had to tell Ron that she was visiting Krum in to days. Hermione knew that she couldn't wait any longer.

"Ron I have something I need to tell you but please don't go mad, I have been trying to tell you for a while but I haven't found the right time"

"What is it then?'

Ron didn't know what to expect, what could she have done to make him mad?

"Well as you know and I know your not happy about it but I'm still writing to Victor"

"Yes I know that but I don't see the point in it "

"Well I'm going to see him in two days"

"WHAT SEE HIM, WHAT THE FUCK FOR YOU HAVE ME NOW. WHY DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM FOR?"

"Ron you know we are friends, and you know I would love to go over there"

"I CAN'T SEE THE FUCKING POINT why didn't you tell me"

"Well I wonder why I never told you I knew you would act like a jealous five year old."

"I AM NOT A FIVE YEAR OLD, you know what he wants from you, he just wants to shag you!"

"RONALD WEASLEY WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK OF ME! You know I would never do that I love you not him I never have loved him. We are just friends, why do you always have to blow things out of proportion?"

"Look I trust you but I don't bloody well trust that good for nothing Vicky!"

The argument felt like it was going on for ages. Harry and Ginny could hear it from the other side of the house.

"Bloody hell I wonder what there up to. Actually no I don't want to know"

Harry had had enough of them arguing he knew it was best to leave them to it, they always made up sooner or later.

"I know, Hermione is going to see Krum after the wedding. I knew she hadn't told him that's why I came over mainly so they could be together. It's better that he finds out now rather than tomorrow"

Ginny knew she should have told Harry before as well but they hadn't really spent much time together recently, and she didn't want to jeopardize the time they did have.

"Well I knew it would happen one day, But I don't think Ron will every get over his jealousy over him!"

"To true I say we leave them alone for a while"

I totally agree with you there Ginny.

The young couple talked for quite a bit longer before returning to the house to help with the cleaning

Tonight was the last night Harry and Ginny would be unmarried.

Ron and Hermione where both in the living room they still looked extremely pissed of with each other. Harry could tell that Ron was the most upset his face and ears where the redress he had ever seen them. Hermione didn't look much better either her face was all puffy, her eyes looked red raw over the constant crying.

Harry knew he would have to take Ron out of the way for a while, Leaving Ginny to be with Hermione. This wasn't the way Harry had been expecting to celebrate his stag's night.

"Ron mate shall we go out a little early we could have a few firewhiskeys before the others arrive"

"Yeah I think I will I know where I'm really wanted and needed and not going to be used"

Harry knew that that comment was made towards Hermione yet again Hermione burst in to tears. Both men walked out of the burrow and apparated to the Hog's head.

Ginny tried her hardest to support Hermione but she knew that this was defiantly a job for her mother.

Mrs Weasley ran across the room and pulled Hermione into a bone crushing hug.

"Ginny has told me what happened and you just wait and see what I'll do to that son of mine when I see him!'

Hermione started to cry harder in to Molly's shoulders.

"Perhaps I should cancel my trip it would be so much easier"

"you shall do nothing of the sorts. Ronald has to learn that you are an independent woman and trustworthy"

Mrs Weasley always knew what to say.

"Hermione dear give him sometime to calm down by the end of tonight he'll be groveling back to you, just you wait and see"

Hermione hoped she was right, but she had never seen Ron so mad with her in all her life.

"Hei you lot let's get ready to go out we don't have long we have to meet every one down at the pub"

Ginny called. They weren't planning a really late night everyone wanted to be home early so they didn't feel to tired the next day.

Finally everyone was ready and apparated to the pub and were joined by many of there friends.

Ginny couldn't believe the amount of people who turned up the whole pub was packed. Party poppers were going off every where, crazy foam supplied from Verity, Fred's wife. Mrs Weasley was glad that all the mess wasn't in her house! The firewhiskeys kept flowing everyone was having a truly amazing time.

Harry's stag night was going very similar everyone was drunk, and making complete fools of themselves. Harry was sure that Fred and George has something to do with many of the guests acting oddly. Harry was must surprised that Mr Weasley had allowed himself to get so drunk. What surprised Harry more was that Arthur had allowed Fred and George play pranks on him, firstly he was given a foaming drink which made foam come out of his ears and mouth then he allowed them to dye his hair green!

The time had come and the landlord had thrown them all out.

Everyone was shaking hands and saying good bye to each other. Each knowing that they would all see each other in a few hours.

"Harry I have decided to talk to Hermione and apologize, it's up to her isn't it."

"That's the sprit Ron you talk and make up with her."

Back at the Burrow Ron was in the process of making it up to Hermione. Harry had gone up to Bill's old room for the night as he wasn't allowed to see the bride before the wedding now.

"Hermione I'm so sorry I've been a right prat you know I don't like him but if it's what you want to do I'm fine with it"

"well I'm glad you came to your senses"

They both looked up at each other eyes. Ron pulled Hermione towards him and slowly started undressing her. Hermione knew this would be coming it seemed to be there new way of making up. They both fell backwards onto the bed. Both being very drunk were making quite a lot of noise. Finally they had finished there moment of passion.

There was a knock at the door

"See you to made up then I would hope that next time you make up you will put a silencing charm up I think everyone knows that you have made up now"

Harry giggled to himself.

Harry could tell Hermione was drunk after he had made his statement because, she just burst out laughing.
