Disclaimer: JKR is the main owner, after her is a long list of companies one of which I have stock in. Doesn't that mean that I do own it? Just a thought please don't sue me.

A/N: Sorry for this but I honestly did have a really good day and couldn't help myself. I hope everyone else had one at least half as good.

Chapter 7

Madam Bones was having a really good day. Not only was it Friday which meant she could spend the weekend with her niece, but it was also the day that she broke her first law. She had grown up obeying the rules, oh she would bend a few here and there but would never outright break one, until today.

She had gone to Minister Fudge first thing that morning with her pensieve, one rather large file folder and two smaller ones. After telling the imbecile to just sit there and keep his mouth shut she proceeded to show him a couple of Harry's memories. Once they were through she had the pleasure to tell the idiot to that the next words out of his mouth had better be 'I resign' or his mouth had better remain shut. Opening the large file folder in front of him had to be in the top ten of her life's greatest moments. Every bribe that he had taken was documented meticulously and sitting right in front of him. She was going to have to buy Fleur a very nice gift for this memory. After talking to her for about fifteen minutes Amelia had said the magic words, 'could help Harry'. The young French lady had started producing documents concerning every transaction that Fudge had ever made and then cross referenced them with the names of known Death Eaters that she had given her. Not something that the goblins would like if they ever found out, but definitely something that Amelia was enjoying.

By the time she had left Fudges office he had her assurances that everything was copied multiple times and that if anything happened to her those copies would go to about fifty newspapers and foreign ministries. She on the other hand had his signatures on the termination papers for one Delores Umbridge along with an arrest warrant for her attempted murder of Harry James Potter. Amelia found out that the stubby git was planning a surprise for the young man. Once she gave it some thought she figured that he should go ahead with it, a little theatrics might start the week off right and it might just give them a few openings due to heart attacks. She also had his signature on all the necessary forms to triple the funding for her Aurors, not the amount that it was when He Who Must Not Be Named was around the first time but a definite improvement. She also had the arrest warrants for several other witches and wizards that had been recommended by Tonks. She said it was going to be a little gift of insurance for Harry and would only be filed under certain circumstances. Tonks wanted to reveal the gift to him during what she was calling his last meal on Sunday night. When she told Fudge that not only was he really signing that last arrest warrant but that if everything worked out he could claim it was all part of his plan, he was actually happy with the way she blackmailed people. He had said that if more people would do it the way she was it would probably never have been made illegal in the first place.

Her next stop was a very short one. Delores Umbridge had agreed to go to Azkaban for three years once Amelia had explained the alternative. With the evidence that she had the toad woman would be spending between fifteen and twenty five years there depending on how well the prosecutor's wife had treated him the night before and the whole thing would be written up in the Profit. If she went quietly then nothing would appear in the papers and when she got out she could tell everyone that she had just been on an extended tour of the wizarding world. The fact that she never mentioned that Umbridge had been sacked might have had a little to do with her thinking she could just walk back in and resume her job.

With everything going so well she thought what the hell and went to the secure international flu's. Each ministry had a series of flu's for talking with other ministries. All of them went to only one foreign ministry and was monitored on both sides for signs of eavesdropping. She contacted Monsieur Delacour about getting some help. When she found out that he was the head of a cultural department of some sort she didn't hold out much hope. Apparently though his wife's parties are THE parties and no one wanted to be left off the guest list. After some small talk while waiting for his assistant to contact some other heads, he had come through for her. The French ministry was going to have over half their Auror force ready to come when she called. Fleur was going to be getting a VERY nice gift for her help.

Madam Bones was currently on her way to the ministry apparition point having just told all of her deputy heads that she was going to start her weekend early. If she didn't know better she would have said that Susan had spiked her morning tea with Felix Felicis. Yes Madam Amelia Susan Bones was having a really good day indeed.

Bill Weasley was having a really good day. He had been called to a meeting with his boss that morning which was usually a bad thing. But when he entered the office he saw a grinning Slipknife, something that would probably scare the hell out of someone who didn't know it was a grin. After Bill had taken a seat his boss had set the locket that he had brought them the day before on the desk along with a gold cup and a ring. Slipknife then went on to explain not only what each item was but also just how valuable they were. To say that he was surprised would have been a huge understatement. His boss then informed him that they had had reservations about granting his transfer to the Diagon Alley branch because he had been so good at getting to the treasure in the field. He then promoted Bill to a senior curse-breaker position and was giving him the lead on acquiring the Hogwarts Horcrux as they were now calling it. If it proved to be just as valuable as the others he would get a cut of the profits for all of them at his new positions rate since he was the one responsible for finding them. The fact that all of them were so valuable meant that the experts on keeping the containers in tacked would definitely be finished with their current jobs in five days and that both of them would be ready to perform the ritual in seven. They would perform the ritual on Harry at that time and then wait for Madam Bones to be ready before the ritual would be performed on the others. He was dismissed for the weekend with orders to come in on Tuesday with a plan for acquiring the Hogwarts Horcrux and to bring Madam Bones with him so that they could plan the timeline for the rituals.

He was heading towards the banks exit when he spotted Fleur Delacour. He had first noticed her when his mum and him had went to Hogwarts to act as Harry's family for the final task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament and had thought she was beautiful. They had spent some time together since she had started working at Gringotts and he had found out that she was also extremely intelligent and had a sense of life that he liked. Turning from his current destination he walked up to her and asked her if she would like to celebrate with him tonight. When she asked what he was celebrating his mouth spit out the words before he could even think them. "My first date with you of course." He thought that his mouth had ended his date before it would even start. The kiss on his lips followed by a yes left him wondering how he had arrived at the restaurant and made the reservations for that night, he certainly couldn't remember it. He then headed off to Grimmauld Place to meet up with Remus. A promotion, a long weekend, and most importantly a date with a beautiful woman, all before lunch. Yes William 'Bill' Arthur Weasley was having a really good day indeed.

Nymphadora Tonks was having a really good day. After starting her day with a fantastic breakfast, she had convinced Harry that he was not going to be allowed to stay at her flat looking like a walking talking dust rag. What followed was her idea of a really fun time. Four hours of playing dress up with her own living breathing doll. Harry ended up buying only enough clothes to get him through a week plus a nice suite, but he had had to endure endless changes of clothes just for her enjoyment.

He had then treated her to lunch at a nice local restaurant that she hadn't tried yet, followed by a movie that he let her pick. All of this was followed by a meandering walk through her neighborhood while they just talked and joked around; he was getting better at not blushing. The most serious subject was who he should select as a magical guardian. She had settled the subject by reminding him that he was going to need a muggle one as well once his relatives were arrested. They were going to ask Rebecca in the morning because she had made her life in the muggle world and still had contact with the magical one. It would cover Harry in both and would hold up under any attempts to overturn it with the support of Madam Bones.

On the way home they had stopped by the local market where Harry had made her wait outside and refused to tell her what he had bought the rest of the way. Once they were in the flat he ushered her into the sitting room and told her to just relax and listen to the wireless. After about an hour there was a knock on the door which Harry said he would get, he then led her mother and father into the sitting room and disappeared back into the kitchen. She hadn't had any time to see her parents after graduating from the academy, with first having to find a flat, then moving, on top of work, and finally everything she had to do for the Order she thought she was lucky just to get some sleep.

Harry announced dinner and led them into the dining room where they found a delicious swiss steak with all the trimmings and a treacle tart for desert. He even had a bottle of wine that he said he had to bribe the clerk to get.

Afterwards he ushered them back into the sitting room while he cleaned up, joining them when he finished. Her parents told every embarrassing story from her growing up that they could remember before thanking Harry and heading home.

They both decided to call it a night and he insisted that it was her bed and he was healed so she should sleep in it. He then gave her a hug and said 'thank you for everything, especially for just listening.' Yes Nymphadora 'Don't call me Nymphadora' Tonks was having a really good day indeed.

Albus Dumbledore was having a really bad day. Severus Snape, his spy in the ranks of Voldemort had returned from having been called by the Dark Lord. But he could barely talk or walk. Albus had levitated him up to the hospital wing and asked him what had happened only to find out that he and a few others had been summoned only so that they could be tortured. It seemed that Tom Riddle was bored. Madam Pomfrey informed him after finishing with Severus that it would probably be a couple of days before he even woke up, let alone be able to talk more.

The headmaster had been hoping that there might be some word in the Death Eater ranks about Harry. Everything that the Order of the Phoenix tried to do to locate the wayward boy had turned up nothing. For all the world, it looked like he had just vanished from the planet. He had Bill Weasley watching the bank for any activity in Harry's vault, but there had been nothing yet. None of his people could find any trace of where the Dursley's had gone, it was like they had driven into a hole and pulled the dirt over themselves.

When he had gone to headquarters he had sensed that something was off. When he asked Molly Weasley about it she just said that she couldn't talk about it and that he would have to see Bill because of some oath. He then went to see Sirius about it only to find that he was, unsurprisingly, drunk. What was surprising was the fact that he was a happy drunk, and when asked about it he would only blow a whiskey laden raspberry before going back to singing a very lewd tune.

The headmaster then turned to the sort of people who he knew could be easily handled, the children. After questioning all of them he found that only Ginny Weasley knew anything. But when she was asked she would say almost the same thing as her mother adding only that 'I really don't think that my family would appreciate it if the headmaster forced me to lose my life because he couldn't follow the simple instructions of Ask Bill.'

He thought that things were finally starting to go his way when young William came through the door just before lunch. Those happy thoughts were quickly kicked down when he was informed that not only the oaths but goblin law was keeping their tongues from loosening. The grin that Bill had when he told Albus that he would need to speak to him about some of it on Monday at one o'clock in the afternoon did nothing to help cheer the old headmaster up. It wasn't that it was an evil grin or even a predatory grin, no it was the fact that it was a happy grin that unsettled him. If someone could talk to the 'Leader of the Light' about something that had everyone keeping there mouths shut because of goblin law with a happy grin it probably would not bode well for an aging man. Yes Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was having a really bad day.

A/N: Yes I know that it's a short sappy chapter but it wasn't a planned one, it just kind of came to me as I drove home tonight after a really, really good day. Next chapter is the hearing.

Thanks for reading.
