Hey this is my first ff so go easy on me.
This one is taking place 22 years after Harry's victory over Voldemort and three years after the scene in Kings Cross, where Harry's sons are going to Hogwarts.
DISCLAIMER: This is completely J.K.R 's work and I have nothing to do with it. The only characters that belong to me are the one of Matthias and Artemis.....Please restrain from taking any of my original ideas and plots from this story....Thanks!!!!
Chapter 1
"C'mon Harry, we have to go!" Hermione said impatiently. It was late in the afternoon and Harry Potter was still going through his report about his last mission in his office.
"You know if someone had told me years ago that you'd be the one encouraging me not to finish my work I’d have called them crazy".
"Yes, but the kids are arriving any minute now!"
"The kids are arriving in two hours!" Harry said still not moving from his chair. He knew that once his kids were back for the summer he wouldn't be able to get any work done and he wanted to finish everything he had left so noone from the office would come bothering him during the summer break. He had promised his kids that this summer they could all go away together and he didn't want to let them down, especially Lily.
"Harry, you do know that there are other aurors except you and me to take care of stuff, right?" Hermione persisted.
"Well, it's easy for you to be like this. You've had all the week to get your work done, I came back from Mexico yesterday!" he sighed but stood up. "I hate this job!" he complained.
"No, you don't", laughed Hermione. "You love it! Come on we have to pick up your lovely wife!"
"What about Ron?"
"He and George are waiting for a new order today, so he'll meet us there".
"So I cannot be late but he can?"
"Yes because when he says he'll meet us there he means he'll meet us there" she said walking towards the elevator. "When you say something like that you never..." she cut her sentence short as the doors of the elevator opened and their supervisor bursted in.
"Good, you two are still here" said the old wrinkled man. He was about seventy years old. Too old to be Head of the department but it was a common secret that they'll make him retire soon.
"Actually we were just leaving" Hermione said. She knew that it was easy for him to cancel their days off so she wanted to leave as soon as possible. She just wished that Harry wouldn't...
"What's going on?" asked Harry and Hermione sighed. As Matthias Barge, their supervisor, walked towards the nearest desk she mouthed to Harry:
"Ginny is going to kill you!"
"There's something I haven't told you", said the man turning to face them. He seemed really worried. More worried than any of them had ever seen him be. Hermione walked towards him forgetting about her rush.
"Are you going to tell us what that thing I collected in Mexico was?" Harry said full of curiosity.
"No", he said briefly disappointing Harry. "There were some murders that used to concern me. They all seemed to have a connection, a rather disturbing connection".
"Okay, wait a minute. Why are you talking to us about common homicides? I thought that new recruited aurors were dealing with such simple issues. Or are we the only ones still in the building?" Hermione said giving Harry an angry look.
"This was never a simple issue, but as you said it wasn't your area of expertise so I haven't told you anything, although now I think I should have".
"Fine then" Hermione gave in, while Harry was sitting on his desk. When she sat next to him the old man continued.
"I believe you remember the murder of your friend Dean Thomas six months ago?"
"Of course, how could we forget?" Harry said sadly.
"Well it appears that his death is linked with nine others".
"Nine?" Hermione said in disbelief.
"You've got any lead on the killer?" asked Harry. "And how is it linked?"
"Well, all of the victims or someone related to them seemed to be involved in..."Matthias hesitated.
"In what?" Harry asked with a bad feeling growing inside him.
"In Voldemort's fall".
"What? And you're telling me this now?" Harry said outraged as Hermione was bringing her hand on her mouth.
"It was just an assumption until a couple of hours ago".
"You still ought to tell me!"
"What do you mean 'a couple of hours ago'?" Hermione asked not so sure she wanted to hear the answer.
"A new group of Death Eaters took the entire blame for the ten deaths", Matthias gave the answer.
"What?" Harry whispered, all the color draining from his face.
"But
we we...the two of us captured the last escaping Death Eaters almost seven years ago" Hermione said perfectly convinced this was a mistake.
"That's why I said they were a new group".
"But Voldemort is dead", insisted the woman.
"They have a new leader. We do not know his real name but he calls himself...'Apostollo'" explained Matthias.
"But Matthias we shouldn't be worried right? I mean, it's only shocking because they call themselves that. We have faced a team of murderers before".
"Yes Hermione but in his letter that 'Apostollo' said that they came out in open just because they've gotten strong now. He said they are to continue their work until they take full revenge".
Silence fell like snow among them. Harry was still shocked. He couldn't believe that after all of those years the past would come back to haunt him. Death Eaters were back. They had killed Dean and nine others. And who the hell that 'Apostollo' was? They wanted revenge and surely he was the first person they would seek it from. So that was how Dean's mysterious death was explained. Harry felt his heart pounding hard against his chest. Mysterious deaths...that was how it started the last time. All the victims or someone related to them was involved in Voltemort's fall. Someone related. Related...
"The kids!" He yelled in agony, jumping out of both his desk and his shock.
