~Hermione POV~
"Minister there is something not right!" A tall man proclaimed as others stood behind him and agreed, "Yeah there is no way that we could have lost the duel without powerful magic behind it", A woman announced causing more distress. The minister raised his hands to silent the crowd, "As Minister of Magic, I understand your distress on these darker forces attempting to penetrate our world. I will be choosing a select few of my best wizards and witches for the job of investigating these events. Of course I would advise caution on missions, but I figure you all ready know that." With that the minister walked off leaving a silent crowd, all wondering who would be chosen for a mission.
I couldn't take anymore of the bidding on who would be going, so I went to my small flat. Walking around I paused and picked up a picture that was sitting on my bookshelf. The picture was one of me and Ginny, Harry and Ron were taking the picture. My arm was around Ginny's shoulder and hers was around my waist. We looked out onto Black Lake, the tentacles of the squid slightly emerging. I couldn't help but feel longing. Ginny was my best friend and when school ended I just got so busy, and caught up with Ron that I lost touch with her. Now things would work. I would have Ginny this time and I wouldn't lose her.
