Chapter 4

A/N I don't own anything you recognize. Thank you iCoaster44, WhovianGeronimo, and Phionex Rook for following and or favoriting.

Harry Potter and his two friends, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were just about to leave the headmaster's/headmistress's office in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They were all very tired. It had been a long year for them and for all the wizards and witches of Great Britain really.

The second wizarding war had just ended not an hour previously when Voldemort's own killing curse had backfired on him for the second time. After a terrifying few years, it was finally over. The wizarding world could begin it's rebuilding process. Maybe they would have a chance this time. They didn't, after all, have much a chance earlier that century.

First there was Grindelwald. A nasty dark lord from mainland Europe who mainly terrorized there. Mainly was the key word in that sentence for his actions had far reaching consequences such as the Second Muggle World War for instance. This devastated Europe, both muggle and magical.

Then not more than two and a half decades later along came the self styled Lord Voldemort to take over wizarding Britain and destroy the muggles. The guy might have had just reasons for hating muggles but that didn't mean he had to freak out on everybody and start killing them all. It was actually kind of a shame that he ended up the way he did. If things had gone different who knows what he could have become and what good he could have done.

Harry didn't feel like he had time for what if's though. The point was that nobody had stepped in and Riddle had gone off the deep end and plunged the world back into war and darkness. It had taken a baby to put and end to his first reign after more than a decade of war. Then wizard kind could have used that brief peace to build themselves back up into something better.

They didn't do that though. They let people lie and cheat their way through the so called justice system. This let the government build itself up into a useless corrupt body which allowed bigotry and people like Voldemort to grow and flourish. It would have surly led to another dark lord rising sooner or later, but instead it just left it weak.

The magical people of Great Britain didn't even have to wait for a new dark lord to appear. Why would they do that when they could just let the old one resurrect himself and start rampaging across the country once again.

Needless to say Harry had good reason to be truly exhausted and he knew it wouldn't end anytime soon. No it would not. If the country didn't want another dark lord rising to replace Tom then they would need to do as they should have done after his first defeat and cleanse the ministry properly. They would need to set down new laws and make sure that decent people were in all the right positions. The ministry needed to be shaped into something to be proud of and not something that would be looked down upon by the rest of the world.

Harry knew that he would be at the forefront of this. He was considered the boy-who-lived or the-man-who-conquered or something like that. The people of the magical world would want him there and expect him to be there helping out

Harry was even more exhausted just thinking about what he would have to do tomorrow. All he wanted was a sandwich and a good night or fives worth of rest. They made their way up towards Gryffindor tower.

Would Kreacher bring him his desired sandwich? Maybe some pumpkin juice as well? Was the tower still standing? He hoped it was. Where else would they sleep if it wasn't?

They had almost made it to the common room when he was pulled out of his sleepy thoughts by the weirdest noise he'd ever heard. From outside, on the grounds of Hogwarts came a moaning groaning noise. It sounded almost like keys scraping against piano strings.

"What is that?" Hermione said.

"Don't know," said Harry pulling his wand out. "I'm going to take a look though."

"Not without us."said Ron grasping his shoulder. Hermione nodded. She obviously agreed.

"Fine, but be careful." Harry knew by now that it was better not to argue with them after they had made up their minds to go with him.

They made their way quickly and efficiently through the halls of Hogwarts from the seventh floor all the way down to the ground floor. This was quite difficult as there was still debris all over the place. Rebuilding the castle would take a ton of time after all. It was quite lucky for them that adrenaline kicked back in otherwise they most definitely would have fallen numerous times along their walk.

Finally, they made their way to the entrance hall just in time to see the last of the people who had been in the great hall exiting. Clearly everyone else had heard it as well, and also had the same idea to confront it. After all, it could be a supporter of Voldemort or some other person who meant to do them all harm.

The trio cautiously made their way out the front door to see what was clearly a disturbance. Their mouths threatened to drop open in shock.

"Is that a police box?" Hermione asked in shock. "A real muggle police box." she said emphasizing the word muggle. "Who in the world would bring a muggle police box to Hogwarts and not to mention how."

Struck with a thought Harry turned to Hermione, "Are we sure the muggle repelling charms are still up Hermione?" After all that would be the only way for muggles to even see Hogwarts.

"I I honestly don't know Harry." Hermione looked a little ill at that thought. They didn't need to deal with muggles after all. The wizarding world wouldn't be able to after all.

"Guys look. The door is opening." Ron said bringing Harry and Hermione back to the problem at hand. Indeed it was. They readied their wands.

A/N Thanks for reading. :) I still am looking for a beta.
