DEATH EATERS ATTACKED THE MINISTER OF MAGIC
By Dennis Creevy
When Ministry worker Cho Chang yesterday came to the new home of the Minister to ask him about something, she found the whole place covered in blood. The Minister was dead along with his guards and the Dark Mark hung in the sky. It seems as though the Death Eaters aren't gone at all.
Ministries of Magic all over the world are preparing their Aurors for tough and dangerous missions concerning Death Eaters and Black Snakes. The Red Dragons were right when leaving the letter at the fight at Stonehenge a few months ago. Even if the Dark Lord is weakened or gone, evil will always exist.'
Harry threw the month old paper into a trashcan on his way to the table at Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour where Ron, Ginny, Draco, Hermione, Fred, George, Neville and Percy were seated.
"Hey Harry!" Ron yelled to him as he spotted him. "You heard the big news?"
"What news?" Harry asked as he sat down beside Neville.
"Fudge has gone back to being the Minister of Magic." Percy said, he was working in the Ministry. "He was ordering everyone to work, muttering something about that idiots and Ministries of Magic don't work together. He also sacked the new people Kain had gotten hold of, and hired the old crowd back in."
"Fudge might be a bit slow-minded at times and to stubborn for his own good, but he's not the type of person that can just sit around and see all his work go to Hell." Draco said. "I'm beginning to like the bugger."
Harry suddenly noticed that Ron was looking more nervous than ever.
//What's the matter?// he asked his friend telepathically.
//Harry, you know the thing we talked about a week ago? Well, I think I'm getting cold feet.//
//For heavens sake, just do it before you blow the whole thing. Say it in another language if you don't want the rest of us to understand.//
//Good idea. Ok, here I go, wish me luck.// Ron got up from his seat. "Hermione, could I speak with you for a moment over there?" Hermione nodded and followed Ron to a table some distance away from their current one.
Harry silently cast a charm on Ron and Hermione that made the gang at his table able to hear every single word that was said.
Ron tried in several languages before he settled on Arabian. After he was finished Hermione just stared at him for a moment then threw her arms around him, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Neville, Percy, Fred, George, Draco and Ginny began to cheer even thought they had no idea what had been said. Harry smiled and decided to tell them.
"If you want to know why you're cheering, so did Ron just ask Hermione to marry him." He said.
Draco nearly chocked on his ice-cream, Ginny had been drinking Coca Cola and now it all came out again, Percy, who had been writing something important for the Ministry, broke his quill and stained the whole parchment. Neville just blinked, and Fred and George toppled backwards on their chairs, ending up at the floor.
Ron and Hermione came back when they noticed the silence from the table. Only Harry had a amused smile on his face, the rest were busy getting their senses back.
"You told them?" Ron asked as he managed to get the quill and parchment out of Percy's grip.
"Who? Me? Never!" Harry said but the grin his father had been so famous for, spread across his face. "I wouldn't dream of it. By the way, congratulations."
"And we're supposed to trust you, Gamemaster? Oh, and thanks." Hermione asked while drying Ginny's clothes with a spell.
The others finally managed to put themselves together and started to congratulate Ron and Hermione.
//Think we should tell them?// Draco asked Ginny telepathically.
//Sure, hope you get out of it alive though.// Ginny replied with a sly grin.
//My courage just dropped. But don't forget that you're in this as deep as I am.//
//Oh, alright, I'll say it sissy.// Ginny turned to the table. "Um, I have something to say."
"Well, out with it." Fred said after a long pause.
"Me'n'Draco'ar'da'in'."
"Sorry, didn't quite catch that. What did you say?" George asked.
"Me and Draco are dating." Ginny said, after that she and Draco set off to get a huge head-start on the Weasley brothers.
"Did she just say what I think she said?"
"Excuse us, we have a sister to chase and a Malfoy to kill."
Fred, George and Ron ran off. Percy just sank into his chair. Harry, Hermione and Neville looked at each other then burst out laughing.
"Well, I guess all's well when the end's well." Harry managed to say through two laughs.
Sirius, who had stayed at the Leaky Cauldron that day came over. He had no idea why they where laughing so hard so he decided to ask.
"So, guys, what's so funny?"
"H-hey S-Sirius." Neville said while whipping away tears.
"You won't believe this but-" Hermione, who had put herself together, said but was cut off.
"MALFOY!!!!"
"VIRGINIA WEASLEY!!!!"
She, Harry and Neville started laughing again even harder this time. Even Percy, who had decided to have fun now and kill Malfoy later, chuckled.
Sirius looked at them, confused.
"What?" he asked making them laugh even more.
