Harry's POV

Nervously, I looked straight at Ginny, took a deep breath and said, "I know I'm taking a risk here but will you and I still be friends if I broke up with you right now?"

"Oh thank Merlin!" Ginny said in a high pitched voice, relieved. "I thought you were gonna bloody propose" she added as she looked at me.

"Propose? Why would I do that?"

Gin laughed, "Well, firstly, you were nervous and secondly, you looked like you rehearsed what you said to me."

"Well, to be honest, I rehearsed that a couple of times in my head." I replied, chuckling slightly.Hold on, why is she happy? Furrowing my eyebrows, I questioned, "So you're not mad?"

"Oh no, no, no. I'm not mad. I'm just relieved that you aren't proposing. Truth be told, I actually came here to break up with YOU." she said, emphasizing the last word. "I guess you just made my life much easier as you said it."

"Yeah. Wait, you were gonna break up with me? Why?" I asked.

"Same reason you are I assume. We just grown apart with you in missions at odd times and me playing Quidditch all around the world."

"Yeah. So are we cool then? No hard feeling?" I asked, like her, relieved.

"No, none. None at all. We're still friends, right?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course! We'll always be friends" I said cheerfully and gave Ginny a tight friendly hug. While hugging, I also said, "You know, truth be told, I think we are better off as friends now that we both are adults."

"You're right" she said as we parted to look at each other. Then she chuckled and said, "This is probably the cleanest break up I ever had."

I laughed at her and joked "Knowing you and your long line of boyfriends back at Hogwarts, I'm not surprised."

Ginny lightly shoved me and joined me in the laughter. Just then, Hermione walked in and we told her that we broke up and that it was a mutual decision. She seemed happy that we were able to break it off the same way her and Ron did. After lunch, Hermione left to go to St Mungo's for her shift and I went back home. 'Feels good to be single again!'

-Blaise's Apartment (Blaise's POV)-

After the attack, me and Draco apparated to my place in Muggle London. As soon as we got there, Draco started panicking and going on about how the death eaters are here now again. Then he babbled about how everyone's gonna suspect him though me and him both know this attack has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, me being the calm one out of the two, dragged him to the local pub where we got some drinks and (as usual) girls threw themselves at us. I know this sounds bad, but it felt nice and the brainless bimbo's were a good distraction. Afterwards, we went back to our places- me, by myself as usual, but Draco, WITHOUT a girl, for once.

The next day, I woke up and saw the daily prophet at my door step. 'MASS BREAKOUT FROM AZKABAN' was the headline. As soon as I read the article, I went to work at the Ministry knowing that Hitwizard training will start getting even more serious now with the death eaters on the run.

Hermione's POV

Last night, I came home at three in the morning! You see, during the attack in Diagon Alley, many people got injured- more than I expected; though that might have something to do with the fact that it was a SUDDEN attack and everyone was living peacefully.

When I finally got home, I just managed to get out of my clothes, put some pajamas on and went straight to bed. It's a good thing I don't have anything to do tomorrow so I can sleep in. With that in mind, I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

Unfortunately, I was woken up the next morning at 8 by an owl knocking at my window. Funnily enough, it was Kingsley's owl, Henry. He had a letter attached to his legs. When I opened it, it said:

Dear Miss Granger,

I apologise if Henry woke you up but this message is to inform you to meet me here at the Ministry around nine. I'm sorry if that is too early for you but unfortunately I'm busy all day and the message I need to give to you is rather urgent. It is regarding the death eaters and I have a very important mission I hope you would accept.

Kind Regards,

Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic.

'Wonder what Kingsley wants' I thought to myself bitterly, annoyed to be woken up as I only got like four and a half hours of sleep. Considering the fact that I have to meet him in an hour, I wrote a quick reply, had a quick shower, got dressed and arrived at Kingsley's office two minutes before nine. Punctual as always.

"Miss Granger! Lovely to see you." Kingsley greeted me as I took a seat.

Though I was still pissed at him, I faked a smile, "Same here. You wanted to see me, may I ask why?" I replied politely.

"Yes. Well, it is regarding the death eaters attack. As we all know by now, death eaters have escaped Azkaban." He paused. "Now, a logical explanation would be that someone from the outside was or is helping them. Do you know anyone who will?"

"No Minister. I get where you're coming from... it does perfect make sense to have someone helping them escape but the question is how? How was this outsider able to contact the prisoners and manage to break Azkaban's security without getting caught?" I enquired. It's almost impossible to break their security with out getting caught.

"Dark magic can do wonders Miss Granger." Kingsley answered.

'Well that explains a lot.' I thought to myself sarcastically. "So what is this 'mission' that you wish to give me?"

"Oh right. The mission. Now, before I say anything, you are completely allowed to say no if you don't want to do it." he said. I nodded in response. "As I was saying, there might be an outsider helping the death eaters. Most of the detectives and hitwizards suspect young Malfoy-"

"Malfoy?" I interrupted. "As in Draco Malfoy?"

"Unfortunately yes. Though Mr Malfoy has clearly changed since the war, many people are still unconvinced."

'Malfoy? Could it be?' I asked myself mentally. 'It might. You said it yourself that you don't trust him.' A voice in my head answered.

"I do believe that Malfoy has nothing to do with this fiasco, but we can't make anymore mistakes. With the war, our world suffered through a lot and I do not want anything like that to happen again." Kingsley said sternly.

"I agree with you Minister... not to be rude but are you telling me this?"

"Well Miss, I know you and Malfoy haven't had the nicest times together but with you being one of our most trustworthy member of the Wizarding World and being Mr Malfoy's age, your mission is to get close to him and see if you could retrieve any information that might be useful to the Wizarding Council."

WHAT!? I mentally screamed as I let the information suck into my brain. Is he actually serious? Me, getting close... WITH MALFOY?

Suddenly, Kingsley's voice brought me back to earth. "So Miss Granger, I really hope you take this mission because you're the only one who can." he urged, desperately.

"Why me? How am I the only one?"

"Because, as I said before, you are the most trustworthy person fit to do it." he answered simply.

"How long will I have to keep up this act of 'getting close' as you put it?" I asked.

"As long as you think it is useful to the council." he answered and then added, "But if you want, you can stop at any time, I won't mind. So Miss Granger, do you accept?"

I guess I can give it a try to see if Malfoy is part of this. It is for the benefit of the people Hermione. The logical side of my brain said. It is telling me the truth. If Malfoy does have any information, we might be able to save thousands of lives and not repeat what happened two years ago.

After a couple of seconds of thinking, I answered confidently, "Okay. I'll do it."
