The Golden Trip

Chapter 2

I like doing this. I know no one will see my stories, but I think they are good, and that's all the matters. And who knows, maybe one day I'll be famous! Yeah, noope. Worth a shot though.

Hope you enjoy this next part!

Our meeting at the ministry comes, and we apparated to the Ministry of Magic. It's been restored, I notice, as we walk through the ministry to the elevators. Reporters keep swarming us like bees and honey, so we're running to the elevators. Harry pushed the button labeled 5, and we zoom up. Soon, the doors open, and paper planes fly in. We trek through the hallway, passing many desks and cubicles. It's cluttered. The walls are covered with suspected Death Eaters and maps. We stop in front of a sign that says Auror Training, This Way----->. We walk through the door on the left, and find we are the last one to arrive.

A man and woman are at the front. One resembles Seamus well, with an Irish face and freckles, and the woman has items in her that look like Colin Creevy. She has blond hair in a ponytail, and blue eyes. "Ah, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter. Thank you for coming." The woman says. "I'm Julienne Creevy, and this here is Octavion Finnigan. Let us do roll call." We walk over to the middle, and Julienne takes a clipboard. "Dean Thomas."

"Here."

"Parvati Patil."

"Here."

"Luna Lovegood."

"Here." Oh my.

"Seamus Finnigan."

"Here."

"Cho Chang."

"Here."

"Blaise Zabini."

"Here." Oh wow.

"That's all. And of course, you three. Today, we will start off easy. I feel like most of you will know this, but you should all know how to conjure a Patronus. Here," Julienne says. She assembles eight chairs, and we all sit.

"We will have another person coming, but he will not be coming today. Now, I assume you know how to conjure a Patronus. Think of a happy memory, and say Expecto Patronum! I will demonstrate first." Octavion says. He waits a moment, facing us. "Expecto Patronum!" He exclaims. A silvery wisp shoots out of his wand. It forms into an eagle, and it soars around the room. It sees nothing is a threat, and disappears. "Now," Octavion says, clapping his hands. "Let's have Ron go first please." Ron sighs and stands up, facing us.

He says the spell, and his Jack Russell Terrier comes out. It trots over to me, and sniffs me. I laugh, and soon it disappears. Next, Luna goes. She gets a hare. Parvati goes up, and her Patronus is an elephant. Seamus goes next, and ends up with a fox. Cho's Patronus is a swan. Blaise Zabini goes up. I have to hold Ron back. At least Blaise was neutral in the war. He produces a silver and black fox. Harry goes, and he makes an amazing stag. Finally, I go. I used to think of getting my Hogwarts letter. Now though, I think of when Ron, Harry and I officially became friends, because that to me is the most important thing in my life.

"Expecto Patronum!" I exclaimed. A silver whips bursts out, and my otter comes to life. He swims, well, floats, around me, and I laugh. Octavion claps.

"Well done, everyone. This you can think of as a beginner lesson of Auror Training. It will get much more difficult. Today was considered brief. Everyday you will come here, ready for anything. Tomorrow, same time, same place. Off you go." Harry, Ron and I leave, talking about everyone in the class. We stop next to an empty desk, so some workers can pass us.

"Hey Hermione," Harry says. I look at him. He points at a golden chain on a desk. It has rings at the end, with a hourglass in the rings. "That's a-"
