Chapter 3: Kingsley Shacklebolt
"If anyone will know where he was on that night, it'll be him,"
Everyone had left the office except Kingsley, Ron, Hermione and Ginny decided that now was the time to strike.
They strode into the ministry and went straight up to the ministers's office.
There it was, on the door printed:
Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minister for Magic
"Do you think it's locked?" Asked Hermione.
"Let's find out," Ron lifted his wand and the door blew straight off its hinges and flew into the office making a cloud of smoke.
Ron nodded to Hermione who looked positively shock as Ginny shot three spells into the dusty office.
Hermione walked in after the other two and waved her wand so that the dust settled and the door repaired itself, as she turned around she saw a man tied to a chair with a gag over his mouth: Kingsley Shacklebolt.
"Ginny, really? This is the minister for magic," Hermione complained.
Ron moved his wand and the gag fell from his mouth.
"Guys, you can just knock next time, I don't have that much of a shut door policy, on the contrary, I let almost anyone in." He said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Sorry Kingsley," Hermione made to untie him but Ron stopped her.
"When was the last time you saw Remus Lupin before the Hogwarts battle?" Ron asked with his wand raised.
"Are we back to code questions? At the Burrow the night we moved Harry."
Ron released him from his bounds.
"You can never be too careful,"
"True, but why now, it must be because of Harry, am I right?" Kingsley guessed and the others nodded.
"We thought you might be and imposter at the top of the conspiracy,"
"I'm sure you have good reason to believe but why me?" Kingsley asked confused which confused the others as well.
"Because you sent Harry an owl the night it all happened," Ginny explained.
"No I didn't," Kingsley returned innocently.
"Harry told me that he had an urgent owl from you saying that you needed him,"
"No I didn't. Is it possible that he lied to you so he could get out the house without you asking questions?" Kingsley countered.
"Harry does not lie to me!"
"Kingsley you don't actually believe that Harry did this do you?" Hermione put in.
"It doesn't matter what I believe, it is what the evidence says, and sadly I will have to report this little incident today unless it so happened that I fell asleep and don't remember anything," Kingsley said raising an eyebrow.
"Got it," Hermione moved to the front.
"All I can do is nudge you in the right direction, try going to the scene of the crime, he might have left something that the auras missed, good luck…"
Kingsly Shacklebolt suddenly woke with a start, he was leaning on his chair and he almost fell, I thought to himself that he must have nodded off while going over a report that was upside down, odd.
