Chapter eight

'What happened?' Cho asked.

'I thought Harry was in danger, I saw Michael pointing his wand at Harry. Sorry, I'll get this under control.'

'Until you do, it might be wise to stay out of here Charlie. Wait in the outer offices until we're done,' Kingsley said shaking his head in amusement.

Ron held his robes up in front of Harry and Charlie while they pulled Harry's aurors robes on.

Charlie faced everyone, 'Sorry, so from now on I'll do that stay in the outer office, but I figured you'd all be finished, it's lunch time.'

'We were just finishing up, so you might as well head down to eat. I need to get to my office for a while.'

'Thanks Kingsley, we'll see you later, oh sorry, Minister, I have to get used to that. I've been calling you by your name for years.'

'I know Harry, but it's only here in the ministry or out doing something official.'

Charlie picked Harry up and threw him over his shoulder, 'Charlie, I can walk you know.'

'Until I feel better, you're staying there, live with it.'

Harry nodded, then put his elbows on Charlie's back and his head on his hands to laughter from all the other trainees who were following.

'It's not funny you know,' Harry said with a scowl.

'It's just look at you Harry, you're going to be our boss and Charlie is carrying you and he won't put you down.' Parvati said still laughing.

'I know, well we'll all get used to this,' Harry saw some shocked looks as the group walked through the ministry to the dining room, 'Okay, sit me down now Charlie.'

'Yeah, but on my lap, I'm not ready to let you go yet.'

'You're not going to do anything else are you Charlie?' Ron asked.

'No, I just need to feel Harry.'

'It's fine love,' Harry kissed him, 'Ron, grab me a sandwich will you, Charlie too.'

'We'll be right back, want coffee or juice?'

'Coffee,' Harry and Charlie said together making everyone chuckle again.

'That was quite a display you two put on,' Arthur said as he sat down.

'Hey dad, yeah, I saw Michael aiming his wand at Harry and I lost it. So I need Harry close for a bit.'

'So you walked in on them training and thought danger.'

'Yep, so until I feel Harry's okay, he stays with me.'

'Hi dad, what are you doing here,' Ron said as he put Harry and Charlie's food and coffee in front of them before sitting down with all the others.

'I saw Charlie carrying Harry, wondered what was going on.'

'Yeah, me practicing with Harry, Charlie thought I was going to hurt him,' Michael said, 'At least I know to be careful around these two.'

'Yeah, sorry Michael, it's just lucky that Harry could change so quickly and got to me in time. So I'll stay out of the back room until I get this under control.'

'We both will Charlie and it hasn't been that long when you think about it,' Harry and Charlie started eating, then they both stopped at the same time, 'Can you sense that Charlie?' Harry asked as he stood up.

Charlie stood up, 'Yeah, I can.'

'What's going on?' Cho asked.

Harry growled then changed as Charlie changed and both forced their way through the screaming crowed until they had a man pinned under Charlie's antlers and Harry's nostrils smoking.

'Harry, Charlie,' Arthur said as he carefully made his way to them with Ron and the other auror trainees.

'They sense something dad, maybe a dark mark,' Ron said then pulled his wand and nodded to the others who all pulled their wands, but Ron and Michael took their robes off ready for when the two men changed back, 'Harry, Charlie, move back and we can take him into custody and find out.'

Harry growled but moved a step back, Charlie lifted his antlers but never took his eyes off the man on the ground. Then they both slowly changed back to themselves, then they quickly pulled on the robes but noticed a few shocked looks at seeing first a dragon and a stag, then two naked men.

'He's got a dark mark,' Harry growled, 'Let's take him to the interrogation room. Ron, Michael, bind him, Cho, Terry, Ernie, Seamus, keep him covered, one on each side. Parvati, can you go let the minister know.'

'Yes boss,' Parvati said then hurried away.

The moment the man was bound and disarmed, Michael and Ron lifted him to his feet and walked him away with the others surrounding them.

'I better get back to work,' Harry looked at Charlie, 'It's fine.'

'I need to stay with you for now Harry, so don't fight it.'

'Alright, Mr. Weasley, we'll talk to you later,' Harry faced the crowd in the dining room, 'Sorry, death eater,' Harry shrugged then walked away with Charlie.

'Arthur, what just happened?' an elderly woman asked as she walked over to him.

'Harry's a Morphixen, Charlie's his mate, they sensed the dark mark, which caused them to change. None of you were in danger, only someone dark or dangerous was.'

'They are very rare, I haven't heard of there being one in a long time.'

'Harry's the first one in over four hundred years Mildred, their still learning to control their Morphixen sides. I better head back to work, see you later Mildred.'

'Yes Arthur, goodbye,' the woman watched Arthur Weasley leave, but everyone had heard about Harry Potter and thought even after killing Voldemort, he was still keeping everyone safe.

Harry was taking the lead in the interrogation, Ron, Cho and Parvati right behind him, Charlie was in the corner with Kingsley, the others all watching from the other side of the mirrored wall.

'So are you going to show us the mark, I know you have one?'

'I don't and I'm putting a complaint in about how you harassed me Potter.'

Harry turned slightly, 'I can make him show it minister if you want me to?'

'He's one we've been suspicious about Harry, so do what you have to.'

'Move back you lot,' Harry waited until his aurors moved towards the wall, then removed his robes as a low menacing growl erupted from Harry as he changed into his dragon, his nostrils smoking again, 'Rrrrready toooo buuuuurn,' Harry let a small flash of flames erupt from him that stopped just before it hit the man's face.

'If he goes too long, he will throw fire and you will burn, trust me, I've work with dragons for years,' Charlie said as he stepped beside Harry.

Harry growled again and more flames shot out getting closer, 'Alright, stop,' the man put his hands up, then pulled his sleeve, showing his dark mark, 'Now tell him to back off.'

Harry growled again, then turned back into himself with Ron draping his robes over Harry.

'Good, now you are going to tell these aurors everything you were involved in while I sense if you're telling the truth or not,' Harry and Charlie stepped back and joined hands, 'We sense more when we're joined, Ron he's all yours.'

Ron questioned the death eater for over an hour, at first he kept lying, but Harry kept growling whenever he sensed a lie, so finally he admitted everything. Some of the information they got shocked them, it also sickened them to hear what this man had done as a death eater.

'Lock him up,' Harry said and waited until his aurors took the man away.

'Very good Harry, I don't think any interrogation is going to cause you too much trouble.'

'No, but I noticed it's stronger with Charlie, but at least he was going to give up the moment he saw my flames. I better get into the office and start all the paperwork. I bet that capture will be a first.'

'Yes, a dragon and a stag in the ministry dining room, pinning down a death eater with the stag's antlers, not something we've ever seen before or read before. I'll see you later,' Kingsley shook both Harry and Charlie's hands before leaving.

'Can you feel it Harry?'

'Yeah, I'm trying to control myself since I'm at work here.'

'Harry, you know that won't stop us, surely there must be somewhere we can go.'

'Alright,' Harry took Charlie's hand and hurried into the auror office and into his office, closing and sealing the door behind them.

The seven other trainee aurors heard the loud growls, things smashing, saw the walls shake and knew that office was being destroyed. Two hours later, the noises stopped and Charlie stepped out of the office with a huge grin on his face.

'See ya,' Charlie grinned then left with stunned looks from everyone.
