The problem with law.
A massive thankyou to crazy4fries, xx-crispy-mnms-lover-xx, Arielle12 and L-U-N-A-654 I got five reviews for last chapter, that actually made me so happy :D thank you so much :)
He paced around the office breathing heavily. ''Why?'' He asked for the twenty ninth time.
''Because Harry, as I have said before it is illegal. That means as head of my Auror department you can't do it.'' Kingsley said from his desk where he had been having the same conversation for over an hour.
''But there has to be a law against it, it wrong, its, it's my little girl.'' Harry moaned.
''Somehow I don't think Lily would agree with that.'' Kingsley said mildly. ''Besides it's still illegal to put a sixteen year old in Azkaban for no apparent reason.''
''Can't we make a law against it then.'' Harry pleaded.
''You want me to make a law against fourteen year girls having boyfriends?''
''Yes.'' Harry said hopefully.
Kingsley closed his eyes and counted to ten. ''Harry you are being completely unreasonable.''
''Well then can I-''
''No you can't kill him.''
''But-''
''Harry.'' The Minister for Magic said sternly.
Harry sighed. ''Can I arrange an 'accident' then, just to scare him off.''
''Harry.'' Kingsley repeated firmly. ''Anyway Lily has two older brothers, Teddy, three male cousins, and five uncles, isn't that what their for?''
Harry frowned. ''I'm sure there were more cousins than that.'' He muttered. ''Anyway there's also Ginny, four aunts and six female cousins who for some reason seem to think that she's old enough to have a boyfriend. We're outnumbered. Come on he's two years older that her.''
Kingsley closed his eyes in a silent prayer. ''Harry as your boss and the Minister for Magic I am forbidding you from killing him, sending him to Azkaban, or arranging an 'accident' for him.''
''Why can't I send him to Azkaban, just for a day, to scare him.''
''He hasn't committed a crime which is actually rather important when sending someone to Azkaban.''
''But.'' Harry began again but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
''Come in.'' Kingsley called.
A man Harry recognised from the department of mystery's entered the office with a large file entitled 'highly confidential'. ''Sorry.'' He said seeing Harry, ''I can come back?''
''No, your fine.'' Kingsley said looking pointedly at Harry.
''I'll wait outside.'' Harry muttered taking the hint.
''Feel free to go and write a report, you are supposedly at work after all.'' Kingsley said after him.
Harry ignored Kinsley and lent on the wall outside his office waiting to be allowed back in. ''Alright Harry.'' Someone said in greeting.
Harry looked up to see Ernie McMillan who worked in the 'Magical Law Enforcement office'; he grunted in reply and went back to trying to burn the floor with his eyes.
''You okay?'' Ernie said curiously.
Harry pulled out him wand and fiddled absent minded with it. ''Lily has a boyfriend.'' He growled.
Ernie nodded in understanding. ''What are you doing here?''
''Trying to get permission to kill him.'' Harry said matter of factly as if this was an everyday occupation.
Ernie nodded again, this was normal Harry behaviour. ''Right, good luck with that.''
''What are you doing?'' Harry said carrying on the conversation.
''Oh I need to hand in these reports.'' Ernie said waving a handful of reports.
''So what's Lily's boyfriend like?''
Harry was at this point glaring at anything that moved. ''A daughter stealing idiot.''
Ernie nodded. ''So you haven't actually met him yet.''
''No, Lily sent us an owl this morning to tell us. I can't even tell her that he's not good enough for her because she's at school. Actually I wonder if the boys know.'' Harry ranted angrily, without noticing a jet of yellow light that flew from his wand setting the carpet on fire.
''Crap.'' Harry muttered as he sent another jet of blue light at the floor, putting the fire out and leaving only a very scorched wet carpet.
Just then the man from the department of mysteries left the office. ''HARRY DID YOU JUST SET FIRE TO MY FLOOR!'' Kinsley bellowed from inside the office.
''If I said no would you be any more inclined to let me arrest him?'' Harry said re-entering the office followed by Ernie.
''No.''
''Then yes.'' Harry said scowling.
Kingsley took the reports from Ernie thanking him. ''See Harry everyone else does their reports.''
''I'm having a family crisis.''
''Harry if I let you off work every time you were having a 'family crisis' you wouldn't ever be here, not that that would make any difference to the amount of reports that you've done.'' Kinsley said as Ernie left the office.
''What if he has done something illegal, he might be a bad influence.''
''Mm.'' Kingsley said. ''Because you've only done five background checks after all.''
Harry scowled and Kingsley said. ''Have you spoken to Ginny about this?''
''Yeah she told me to shut up and go to work.''
''Since when did I become you councillor.'' Kinsley muttered rifling through his draw. ''Here I need you to learn this.'' He said handing Harry a piece of parchment with what looked like a speech on it.
Harry narrowed his eyes at Kinsley. ''Why?''
''It's the speech you have to make at the press conference next week.'' Kingsley said.
''What? Why?''
''Because in case you forgot you defeated the most dangerous wizard of all time and people like to hear from you once in a while. Don't worry you don't have to write it.'' He said seeing the look on Harrys face.
''But I hate press conferences.'' Harry said putting on his please-don't-make-me-do-it-I-hate-press-conferences face.
''Yes I know, you tell me every time.'' Kingsley muttered not looking up.
''Can I at least go home to learn it?'' Harry asked. ''As I haven't got any actual work to do.''
''Harry you have thirty two missing reports and you have to do a three month evaluation of two of you Auror's, by the way 'he's doing fine and he makes good coffee' is not a valid evaluation, what would you call actual work?''
Harry glared at him. ''What's the point of being the head of the Auror department if you can't do anything about your little girl having a boyfriend?'' he said knowing Kinsley wouldn't want to hear another rant.
''Fine go home.'' Kingsley groaned. ''But I want those thirty two reports on my desk by Friday.''
Harry sighed loudly but left the office to go home before Kingsley changed his mind.
.
''Your home early, did you do any work or did you just moan at Kingsley?'' Ginny asked as her husband came in the frount door.
''Moaned at Kingsley,'' Harry muttered and Ginny nodded. ''I thought so.''
''Theres nothing, nothing at all that I can do.'' He moaned kissing Ginny as she sat down on the sofa with him and handed him a mug of tea.
''Well I did tell you there wouldn't be. Lily can make her own decisions.''
''I've got no problem about her making her own decisions I just don't want her to have a boyfriend.'' Harry said leaning on Ginnys shoulder in defeat.
Ginny laughed slightly at him. ''Don't you even think about telling the boys about him.'' She said sternly as Harry sat up. ''If they know then they'll already have interrogated him about it and if they don't then Lily doesn't want them to know, which is perfectly reasonable.''
Before Harry could reply to this the front door swung open. ''Hi.'' Someone called through the house.
''Hi.'' Ginny called back waiting for them to come through so they knew who it was but instead they just went straight through to the kitchen.
''Do you have any apples, Vic want some, the pink ones?''
''Teddy.'' Harry and Ginny said together.
''Have you tried a shop?'' Harry called through as Ginny went to look.
Teddy came through to the living room. ''Whats up with you?'' he said sitting down in one of the arm chairs.
''Lilys got a boyfriend.'' Harry groaned to his godson.
''Oh, what's he like? Is he an idiot? Who else knows? Has he been hurt yet? What's his name?'' Teddy asked the string of questions quickly.
''Course he's an idiot he's going out with my daughter, I don't know who else knows, I hope he's been hurt, or at least threatned, um Ginny what's his name?''
''Mike.'' Ginny called through.
''What kind of a names Mike?'' Teddy said grinning at the look on Harrys face.
''Do you want these apples or not.''
''Teddy.'' Harry said quietly so Ginny couldn't hear him. ''You know how you write to the boys, if you happened to tell them it wouldn't really matter, there bound to find out sometime.'' He said mildly.
Teddy grinned. ''So you're not allowed to tell them then?''
''No but you can.''
''I'll write tonight.'' Teddy said laughing at his godfather.
''Harry smiled. ''Good. Why does Vic want apples?''
Not any old apples pink apples, I got her those brown ones and she yelled, apparently the pink ones are good for her skin or something.''
Ginny came back into the room. ''Are these the ones?''
''Yep.'' Teddy said jumping up. ''Perfect, thanks.'' He said grinning.
''See you soon.'' He said as he left the room.
''Bye.'' They called after him.
''So are you going to leave Lily alone then?'' Ginny said to Harry.
''Yeah, I'll just be nice and support her, its her life.''
Ginny frowned. ''Why don't I believe you?''
''Anyway.'' Harry said kissing her lightly. ''I have thirty two reports to write in two days.''
Ginny grinned. ''I can think of something much more fun to do.'' She said kissing him again.
In the end Kingsley never got his reports.
