Mistress of Magic

Harry's eyes immediately darted from Mundugous's worn face to the locket hanging from his neck.

" That locket, I gave it to Kreacher nineteen years ago. You stole it didn't you. You've been sneaking around Grimmauld Place again. You filthy scumbag, stay out of my house." Yelled Harry.

" Are you going to buy a Prophet or not."

" Give me one," said Harry throwing a sickle at him.

" Oh my god" said Ginny.

"What?" said Harry?

"Look at the front page"

Minister of magic Kingsley schacklebolt

Dead

Kingsley Shacklebolt Ex-Auror and Minister of Magic was found dead today in his London home. Shacklebolt, 61 died of old age. The Minister known for his part in the defeat of the Lord Voldemort nineteen years ago was put into power soon after the fall of the Death Eaters. "Kingsley was a man of power and great ability this is a big deal. I worked closely with him in the Order of the Phoenix and he never gave up through all the dark matter through that time period where Voldemort was in power" commented Arthur Weasley. The Wizarding World won't be the same without Kingsley Shacklebolt may he rest in peace. Who will be the next minister or mistress? Word is a new Minister will be put into power by next week.

" That's terrible" said Ginny.

" Kingsley was a great man and I owe him my life," added Harry.

Ron stood up in the middle of the bar so that everyone could see him.

" Can everyone lift your glasses and think about a man who fought to defeat Voldemort and succeeded a man who led our world for nineteen years let us drink to Kingsley Shacklebolt" announced Ron.

" To Kingsley" they all said.

Everyone sat back down and continued their conversation.

" I wonder who will be the new minister?" asked Hermione.

" It could be anyone at this point" said Ginny " Well do you all want to go walk around Diagon Alley for a little while?"

" We'll come," said Ron.

" Actually I'm going to go check on Grimmauld Place if you don't mind. I'd like to make sure everything's in order," said

Harry.

Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Lily, and Hugo walked into the back room. Harry pulled out his wand he tapped on the same bricks that Hagrid showed Harry when he was a first year. The brick wall crumbled and left an opening the size of a doorway for the five of them to walk through.

Harry disapparated from the Leaky Cauldron to the doorstep of

# 12 Grimmauld Place. Harry pulled out his key. As he was steering towards the keyhole Harry thought about some of the last times he'd been here. It had been 21 years since his godfather Sirius Black had lived here. Harry turned the key and the door opened. In the middle of the floor was the dead corpse of Kreacher. Kreacher the house elf who had served the house of Black for nearly all his life was dead. Harry ran over to the body he remembered how poorly Kreacher had been treated. Harry looked at he neck of the house elf and noticed that the locket of Regalus Black had been taken off Kreatures dead body.

"Fletcher!"

" You see Hugo and Lily hen you end up going to Hogwarts within the next few years you're going to come to Ollivander's Wand Shop. No wand is better than an Ollivander," lectured Ron.

A death-defying scream came out of the mouth of a little girl. An army of goblins charged straight the streets of Diagon Alley.

" Stupefy!" cried Ron " Quick the four of you hide in that alleyway, we need to alert the Ministry."

A gray-haired man sat a desk in a large office. The nameplate on the front of his Mahogany desk read PERCY WEASLEY Head of The Department of Aurors. The door opened and in walked five foot five blonde haired women who appeared to be his secretary.

" Mr. Weasley there is a Goblin riot in Diagon Alley who should I send for?" asked the secretary.

" Get Potter over their he'll sort out this mess. Page him on his galleon," said Percy.

Harry was standing next to the Black Family tree when he felt a burning sensation on the inside of his thigh. In his pocket was a single Gold Galleon. Harry retrieved it form his pocket and looked at the side of the coin closely. Fire red letters appeared on the side of the Galleon. They read 'Emergency in Diagon Alley'.

" Ginny," Harry muttered under his breath.
