An: next chapter coming up!

"Harry" The person named Harry turned around when he heard the familiar voice calling his name.

"Harry?" The sound coming closer.

"Harry!?" 'Too close' Harry thought and he looked up to see Ginny standing next to his bed.

"Harry, it's bad enough that I never see you anymore, but you're also impossible to wake up." Ginny said, sounding only slightly irritated, which was new for a change.

When Harry didn't respond, Ginny took it as a sign to move on. "Anyway, what I was trying to tell you, but I couldn't because somebody was still sleeping" she paused for the smallest moment "your boss, what's his name, left a message for you. Something like get your ass in the office now, or else you don't have a job anymore. We need to talk. But I can't be precise because it was an hour ago, but I was on my way to take a shower so needless to say I couldn't tell you before now."

Harry rubbed his eyes and accidently poked in his eye too. When he looked up Ginny had already left again and he sighed while he was climbing out of bed. 'Great an hour ago I needed to come in right away or I would lose my job' Harry thought. He put some clothes on and took one quick look in the mirror. He kept on being surprised by the person who stared back at him, it didn't look like him at all. Not bad in any way, no one could deny that the famous Harry Potter grew up to be a very handsome young man. But the image didn't resemble him at all.

He wanted to walk out of his house when he noticed that all of the plants in the living room had suddenly took a very sudden turn, they went from being very much alive to being very much dead. For the, well he stopped counting, time he sighed as he remembered that Ginny was supposed to keep everything in this house alive. That was the agreement they had made. Harry had had enough of trying to keep people and things alive. So the agreement was that Ginny would keep everything alive and Harry would clean everything up. Which was a pretty good agreement according to Harry. Especially considering that they only had plants and two people. That means some water for the plants and cooking every night for the people. And they were almost never home, so it came down to watering the plants.

Harry figured that he was already late, and that if his boss had been serious when he had said that he needed to come in now or lose his job, well he had already lost it. So he was in no hurry.

As soon as he walked into the hall that was the entrance of the building he worked in, Harry felt as if all the people were staring at him. Now of course he was used to it by now, but with the reason why he was at work today in his mind it seemed as if everyone was looking at him for different reasons. Quickly he shook that thought off him.

He walked up the stairs to his office and threw briefcase on his desk. He looked around his office and noticed that some of the files in his cabinet were removed. He also noticed that the plants in his office were looking down too. This time he threw some water that was standing on his desk from last Friday over the plants and some next to the plants too and walked out of the office.

He walked down the hall and took the first right, up the stairs and stood still in front of a giant door. He mumbled the password and it opened.

Harry stepped into the gigantic office where his boss worked. In the middle of the room stood a huge, colossal desk with an almost just as huge man behind it. In front of the desk there stood two chairs and the room was filled with forms of art made by wizards. Also meaning that the statues went where ever they liked to go, and always stood in different places.

Harry took the chair to the right of the desk and waited until his boss finally looked up from a file he had been staring at.

"Harry, glad you could find the time to come in."

"Yeah uh, I got the message late. Like really late. I came as soon as I could." Harry said, still wondering why he was called in there in the first place.

"I can see you want to know why you're here."

"That kind of will be nice sir." Harry said, now wondering how this man could have gotten such a high position.

"So I've been getting a lot of complaints about you lately. You seem to not do your job correctly anymore."

"Getting complaints from who?" Harry asked.

"About everybody in your department, and from some people in other departments too. But I felt like I needed to call you in here because I got a complaint from miss Granger. And I took her to be a friend of yours, so if she has a complaint it must be so."

"With all due respect, have you looked at the complaints, or did you just take Hermione her opinion and left it at that?" Harry asked, knowing that his boss always had an inappropriate crush on Hermione, but never found out how Hermione thought about it. It wasn't really necessary because she was engaged to Ron.

"Miss Grangers opinion was final, but it wasn't based on her opinion alone. But it did made me look into the other complaints, and I have to tell you that they all do have a point. You have made too many mistakes over the last couple of months. You have accused victims, let several cases go, and to sum it up you have made too many mistakes. Now if you were anybody else I probably would have fired you…"

"But what have you decided on account of that I'm the chosen one, I lived etc?" Harry asked, getting slightly annoyed. He felt like he was in Dumbledore's office again, and the old guy had plans for him, plans that Harry certainly wasn't going to like.

"I have decided that you are still a good auror, and probably the best that we have. But I can't let you go out in the field without somebody to hold you back. Somebody with the same authority that you have."

"So what, I get a partner to work with?" Harry asked.

"Yes, you get a partner to work with, but one that has the same authority as you."

"We have no one that has the same authority as I do. There's just you. Did you make yourself my new partner?" Harry asked.

"No, I hired somebody that didn't quite finish the training and gave him the same authority."

"Somebody that didn't finish the training? I don't have to drag his ass around all the time, and give him like these obvious clues and push him down when a curse is about to strike him now do I? Harry asked, disgusted by the idea of a partner that didn't even finish the training.

"No I assure you he can handle himself."

"Okay fine, I'll agree to having a partner, when I meet him and I think he's the right person for being my partner. Now who is it?" Harry asked, getting impatient.

"No, that isn't how this works. You either agree to having this partner or you'll resign here and now."

Harry said nothing for a while. He really wanted to tell his boss to shove it. But he needed this job, it was the only thing that was going good for him right now, it was the only thing he knew how to do. And it was the place he could runaway to if things got bad in his life. It was a way of escaping his life outside of work.

"Fine, I'll agree. But if I don't like this partner of mine, there's an option to switch to another one, or something like that?" Harry finally asked.

"Sure, you'll get this partner now, and if you decide that in a couple of weeks you can't work with him, we'll reassign someone else. But you've got to give it a try."

"Fine, now who is it?"

His boss smiled at him, something he had never done, and it was scary in a way.

"I'll send him over to your house later. You need to go home now, I'm not letting you work anymore without your partner. But don't worry, you'll like him."

Harry nodded and walked out of his boss his office. For some reason he wondered what the man was up too. In a way he was very much like Dumbledore. He always had some sort of plan for Harry and it was almost always something that Harry didn't like. But he also had a couple of good qualities from Dumbledore, well he had one good quality from Dumbledore, the man trusted Harry in what he did.

Harry was sitting at home, not so much alone, because Ginny was in the house too. Although he hardly noticed it. She was busy in the bathroom or something. She was always busy, and never noticed Harry. Unless she wanted something from him. Like money or sex. Although the latter was a activity that was rarely seen the last couple of months.

He was sitting on the couch, although you couldn't really call it sitting anymore, it was more like he hung on the couch. He was staring into the space were at a muggle's house the TV would stand. But Ginny was firmly against the TV, Harry had no idea why, but it did mean that a TV was not getting in the house. He let his thoughts wonder, and somehow it wondered into a land filled with TV's. He got up and decided that he was going to buy a TV, and that it was getting into the house whether she liked it or not. He was feeling rather rebellious.

He had walked into at least four muggle shops when he finally found the right TV for the right price. Because Harry didn't had that much muggle money. But he had found the TV he wanted, not to big but definitely not to small, you had to see the picture good enough, you can't watch a small screen.

Harry was walking home with a gigantic box in his hands. Because although the TV wasn't so very gigantic, somehow they always make the box seem and feel really big. He was walking into the building where his apartment was and opened the door and walked upstairs. He walked to the entrance of his apartment and saw a tall blond obviously wizard standing in front of his door. Something in him said that he should have recognized the wizard, but with the whole holding the box up, he just didn't.

He walked by the wizard, well more like shoved him out of the way, while shouting: "Big and heavy, make room." And opened the door. He walked in the living room and put the box holding the TV on the floor and offered his hand to the wizard standing behind him.

That's when he saw who it was; Draco Malfoy.

"Wow, you're offering your hand to me, almost tempted not to take it. But I'll rise above that." Draco said and shook the hand that Harry was still offering, while being shocked.

An: So Malfoy is back in Harry's life again…what will happen next ? :P Just remember reviews are always welcome, and make me post the new chapter sooner, it's not so nice to say but very much true! :P So please review!
