TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES
CHAPTER ONE TITLE
White clouds rolled across the opalescent blue sky; the sum gleamed down lighting up the many colourful flowerbeds that were dotted throughout the town centre. Harry turned away from the view from the apartment window and looked around. The crisp cream walls were spotless, the worktops were, as usual, immaculate and the wooden floor shone.
"Its great." Harry said, turning towards his red haired companion. "What do you think?''
"Yeah it is."
"So then Mr Potter, Mr Weasley. You are interested in this apartment.''
"Definitely.'' Harry replied enthusiastically.
"Excellent.'' Mr Farrell replied, his crisp black robes sweeping out behind him and he swiftly turned and opened his briefcase. "You'll need to sign these papers first and the apartment is yours.''
"Great.'' Ron said walking forwards to sign the papers. "Thank a lot Mr Farrell, there's no way we could've gotten an apartment in this area without your help.''
"True, there is a very long waiting list, and a high demand for homes in this area, but it was a favour to your father. Just be sure to keep the house in this state.'' Mr Farrell said, eyeing up the two young adults before him.
"Will do.'' Harry said cheerfully as he scrawled his signature adding it to the parchment. It shone brightly for a moment then rolled up and flew into Mr Farrell's out stretched palm.
"Well now that we're done here. I bid you a good day.'' Mr Farrell said in a business like tone, tucking the parchment safely into his briefcase and sweeping out of the door.
Harry stood and looked around at his new home, it was perfect, it wasn't especially big, but it was big enough. He'd spent the past four years, since leaving Hogwarts living with his Godparents Sirius and Destiny in the home that they had bought before Sirius was sentenced to Azkaban. But he had felt for a long time that he needed to be away from his godparents, after all they needed their privacy and so did he. It wasn't as if he could bring a girl back when his godparents were sleeping in the next room. Not that he had ever come close to taking a girl home with him, he just couldn't do it, most girls only wanted to sleep with him because he was Harry Potter.
He looked over at his tall lanky friend, Ron was looking around the apartment with awe, he had remained living at the Burrow since they had left school and was extremely please to finally have some space to himself.
"Who'd have thought it.'' Ron mused. "Ron Weasley living in the most sought after area in Britain.''
"Ron Weasley, whose father is now the Minister of Magic, and who is the best Goal Keeper the Canons have ever had.'' Harry smiled; he was pleased for his friend. After years of feeling poor, and not good enough he had everything going for him. His family were one of the most respected wizarding families of their time; he had a great job doing what he loved most, a beautiful and loyal girlfriend and now the home of his dreams.
"God, I never thought I would end up like this.'' Ron smiled happily. "We've done alright for ourselves here haven't we Harry?''
"Yeah, I think we're going to have a lot of fun living here.''
"Wait till Hermione sees this place.'' Ron said.
"Yeah'' Harry said.
A sharp tapping noise on the glass caught Harry's attention; he looked up and saw a big brown barn owl perched on the window ledge. He walked across the room and threw open the window, knowing already what the brown envelope in the bird's beak was going to contain. He opened the letter out of habit and read it was from his Godfather.
"Bludger, You are needed, we have gathered more information. The search will commence.''
Ron looked over Harry's shoulder at the small piece of parchment. "Well Bludger, it looks like you are needed. I'll make a start on moving our stuff in. I'll get some of the boys to give me a hand.''
"Alright.'' Harry aid. "But don't let them drop anything, I've seen what their like with a Quaffle never mind my belongings.'' Harry retorted before apparating to auror headquarters where his godfather and his fellow aurors would be awaiting his arrival.
Harry had started auror training almost as soon as he had finished Hogwarts; it was the only thing that was able to keep his mind off his loneliness. The long hard days of training, the cold wet lonely nights spent staking out homes of possible Death Eaters in his apprenticeship, and now raid after raid of houses, caves, and any other place where suspected Death Eaters have been known to convene.
It had been over four years since Voldemort had been destroyed; yet there were still many who believed that he would return, just as he had done all those years before. He still had many loyal supporters, but they posed no real threat as most were locked away in Azkaban, which had been removed from the power of the dementors. It was the Death Eaters who had eluded capture that were the most threat to the wizarding world.
This fact was unknown to everybody outside of the auror circle, not even the Minister of Magic knew of this yet. But there was a new threat forming, a new leader was rising through the Death Eater ranks, a leader who believed that they would be greater than Voldemort, believed that the wizarding world would fall to them, believed that they would succeed where Voldemort would fail.
The identity of this new dark leader was unknown, and was known only as Ebony, as every reported victim of the new power had been left coated in a jet black liquid that hardened into rock. This new dark leader was the reason that Harry had been called out almost everyday, Sirius, the Head of aurors, wanted to stop this threat from growing, and wanted to end it before it really began.
"We have found another victim, another Muggle." Sirius barked to the crowd of aurors in front of him. They were the elite, the best of the best. The most experienced, most professional and most powerful aurors in the country. Harry was honoured to be among them, he was the youngest there, but had totalled up more encounters with the Voldemort than most. "As of yet Ebony has not struck a Wizard, but their power is increasing and soon we can expect attacks in some of the remote wizarding villages. So we are going to have to start patrolling the most vulnerable villages at night, to look out for anything unusual, anything suspicious.''
An audible groan travelled throughout the group. Patrols were for the younger, less experienced aurors. It wasn't a job that many relished.
"This job falls to you. I will have a rota drawn up by first thing tomorrow morning and you will start your patrols immediately.'' Sirius barked.
"Why can't the trainees do the patrols?'' A tall man said from the back of the crowd, he had been an auror for over ten years and was the most experienced auror in the country. Harry knew him only as Dare. He didn't know any of his colleague's names, Sirius thought it would be safer, incase any of them were captured an tortured for information, then they wouldn't be able to let anything slip. They knew each other only by code name. However there were exceptions, like Harry and Sirius, everybody knew their names due to their high profiles, there weren't many people in the wizarding world who didn't know their names.
"I am not trusting this to the trainee's, its too important. No-one outside of this room is to know about this new threat.'' Sirius barked. "Hell, even the Minister doesn't know yet. None of this information is to be leaked, to anyone. Understand?'' Sirius commanded, drawing himself up to full height.''
"Understood.'' The crowd of aurors replied as one.
"Good, disperse.'' Sirius said with a wave of his hand. Watching as the aurors apparated out of the room, all but one.
"Problem Harry?'' Sirius asked in his normal caring tone, concern etched across his face.
"No, just thought I'd tell you that I've found an apartment and as we speak a few of the Chudley Canon's will be moving my things out of your house.'' Harry said smiling.
"Oh God!'' Sirius said, "Destiny will go mad if they break anything, I've seen them with a Quaffle."
"That's what I said to Ron.'' Harry laughed.
"Congratulations Harry. " Sirius smiled, clapping Harry on the back. "So when's the housewarming party?''
"I don't know, I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to have a word with Ron.'' Harry said. "Well I'd best be off, I want to at least try and salvage some of my things from those clumsy oafs.''
(Sorry this is such a short chapter, but I had to get something out! Let me know what you think about this. What do you all think? Should I carry on? And for those anxious readers this will be a mainly Harry/Ginny fic, with quite a lot of Ron/Hermione too yay!! Hopefully this story will be more fluffy and light than the last. And I want to apologize in advance for the delay in updates, I won't be able to update regularly, I have huge exams coming up but I will try my hardest, I can tell I'm going to enjoy writing this story!!! Well leave me a review and let me know what you think. Xxxxxxxxx)
