Chapter two

Six months had passed since the fall of Voldemort and his supporters and even though there were still some supporters out there, they weren't death eaters. The weather was turning cold, the shops were slowly opening, Hogwarts was starting to look like a castle instead of just ruins and even though it still had a long way to go, everyone could see the old school coming back to life, but even with the weather, people still turned up to help wherever they could. No one wanted to stop helping until Hogwarts looked like it always did.

Everyone in the wizarding world was finally moving on. There was more pregnancy's now than there had been in the last twenty years. The healers at St Mungo's were overrun with the amount of pregnant patients they had. The same thing happen when Voldemort first disappeared, but this time it was a lot more because this time they knew Voldemort was dead, this time many people saw his dead body. The people that worked at the magical world's hospital had been over hearing their patients talk about names, many boys were about to be called Harry, after Harry Potter, but other names were mentioned, James, for James Potter, Lily, after Lily Potter, but even names such as Albus and Sirius were talked about. Some people even said they may name their children after people from the DA, Neville, Hermione, Ron and many others.

Harry arrived at the Burrow ready for his Sunday breakfast with the family. They had gotten into a routine of doing this, which included Hermione, so they spent every Sunday together. Charlie missed these Sunday morning breakfasts as he just couldn't stop helping, so every morning he left for Hogwarts, the ministry or Diagon Alley. Harry hadn't seen him since before his birthday as Harry liked his solitude of his home and Charlie was off helping wherever he could, but the rest of the Weasley's were always together every Sunday.

'Morning,' Harry kissed Mrs. Weasley's cheek then shook Mr. Weasley's hand before sitting down next to Hermione.

'Morning Harry,' both replied.

'Morning,' Hermione kissed Harry's cheek as Mrs. Weasley put a cup of tea in front of Harry.

'So how's the quiet life Harry?' Arthur asked.

'Perfect and I never realised just how tired I was. Not just physically, but mentally. So these last few months have been great, just relaxing my body and mind.'

'We all realised the same thing, you don't think about how stressed you are until it's over.'

'It's true Mr. Weasley, I realised the same thing,' Hermione said, 'So are you making any plans Harry?'

Harry laughed, 'Starting to think about them Hermione. Normally I know I'm the rash and impulsive one and you're the one that takes her time. But I think all of us have needed these few months, now I know I still want to be an auror to keep protecting our world. I really believe it's what I'm meant to do, it's what I was born to do. Does that make any sense to you?'

Hermione chuckled, 'Yes, because I know you and you have a natural tendency to protect, sometimes even people you don't like. You're fair and would never intentionally hurt anyone, so I could see you becoming a great auror Harry.'

'That's good to hear,' Kingsley said as he stepped into the kitchen, 'Sorry to intrude Molly, Arthur, but I really needed to speak with Harry and Ron, well Hermione as well, but I don't think she will very receptive to my idea.'

'Sit and have a cup of tea Kingsley, Ron's not awake yet,' Arthur said.

'So what's this idea Kingsley?' Harry asked.

'Well as you know there are no aurors and we need them. So I was hoping you, Ron, Hermione and a few of your DA would consider letting me train you. There are a few others I have approached, one wants to do it, the others aren't sure so their thinking about it.'

'Well I was just saying I know I want to be an auror, I think that is what I'm meant to do, so I'm in.'

'Sorry Kingsley, even though I know how good aurors are and they do good for our world, it's not really something I ever wanted.'

'I didn't think you would Hermione, so I was expecting your rejection. What about Ron, do you think he will?'

'When he finishes helping George, yeah, he said he wants to be an auror he just wanted to wait until George had the shop up and running and got more staff.'

'Great, so if he needs more time, that's fine. Now, who else from the DA might consider being an auror?'

'Well Seamus might, Dean, no I think he wants to try and play quidditch like Ginny, she won't. Maybe both if not one of the Patil twins, Terry might, Cho might, Ernie and Michael did speak about the aurors so those two are a good chance. It's really hard to say, they are all good fighters and they did follow my orders in the DA and Neville's when they were hiding in the room of requirement. Oh Neville won't, even though he really surprised everyone, he's not the fighter type.'

'Well if I contact them all, we can work on a meeting somewhere.'

'My place is fine, a lot of them have been there before, so it works.'

'Great, now I just need a list of everyone so I can contact them.'

'I'll do that,' Hermione got up and grabbed some parchment, ink and a quill and wrote the names of the DA down then handed it to Kingsley, 'I left off a couple, like Zachariah Smith and Marietta Edgecome, but the rest stayed to fight that night. I left off Dennis and Nigel as well, there too young.'

'We were all too young Hermione,' Harry grinned.

'True, but we're not now, they are.'

'I know, so don't get your wand in a knot. So any idea when those trials are going to start?'

'They won't be long now, we're starting with the people in the holding cells at the ministry as their not that dangerous or dangerous at all. The others are all at Azkaban, so there locked up for good so it's up safe. So even though we know they don't have the dark mark they did anything he ordered. It's mostly all the snatchers, the death eaters will remain in Azkaban, they were questioned under veritaserum so we don't need to give them a trial. The snatchers, we know some of them were forced, their families were threatened, so we just need to go through everything when they have their trials.'

'So the Malfoy's will be one of the first?'

'Yes, I think they will both get released on probation, with restrictions as well, but won't know for certain until the trial.'

'Hey,' Ron mumbled as he sat down.

'He's not a morning person Kingsley, not until he eats anyway.' Harry said as he smiled at his friend.

'Which you can all do now,' Molly said as she floated food to the table, 'Help yourselves, you too Kingsley.'

'I'm fine, I've already eaten, but I will have another cup of tea.'

'So eat up Ron, Kingsley needs to talk to you and you have to be awake,' Harry chuckled.

Ron grumbled but started eating, making everyone laugh because that was Ron. You just couldn't get any sense out of him until he had a full stomach.

As soon as Harry was done, he stood, 'I won't be long,' and he hurried up the stairs to use the bathroom while Kingsley explained to Ron what he's idea was.

As Harry walked slowly down the stairs, he stopped at the landing when he spotted Charlie. Then with an almighty roar, Harry sprung over the railing and pinned Charlie to the wall as Harry's clothes ripped from his body as it started to change and wrapped itself around Charlie's body. Everyone in the kitchen jumped to their feet staring in shock at what had just happened and what was still happening even if they had no idea what was going on. Harry had changed to become a dragon and for some reason he had gone after Charlie. Molly was frantic, Ron wanted to help but didn't know what to do, Hermione was trying to figure out when Harry learned to become an animagus and Kingsley realised exactly what was happening.
