Harry Potter and the Lost Memories

An eighteen year-old Harry Potter ran through the wide doors into the hall of the Ministry of Magic. He was followed by his two best friends. His face was flushed with pride and he wore a huge grin. Ron and Hermione were at his side, panting and sweating.
Ron let out a deep breath."Bloody hell! Why did we have to run, Harry? Apparating would have been easier." Despire his agitated tone, he, too, was grinning.
Harry didn't reply. He was gazing at the statue in front of him. He was thankful to see the statue brought by the Death Eaters was gone and the original one was back
"um, Harry?"
Hermione hovered nervously behind him. "Are you sure i should be here?".
"Aw, lighten up, Hermione!", Ron roared,"Now that we're Aurors,"he puffed out his cest proudly,"we're entitled to bring a visitor."
"But not on your first day!"
Ron shook his head."Hermione, Hermione, Hermione. We don't need to worry about getting in trouble. We got in on pure skill."
"You only got in because I helped you."
"And it doesn't hurt that Kingsley's Minister now",Harry added.
Ron looked at Harry in disbelief,"Whose side are you on?!"
"I'm not on any side!"
"Well you should be! On mine!"
"-well aware of the situtation, Kingsley"
The three of them swerved around to find the source of the new voice. They found it.
There were two other people in the room. One was Kingsley Shacklebolt. The other was a woman. She was young, possibly in her mid-twenties, but the scars on her face, the pain in her eyes and her stern expression gave her the appearance of a much older woman. Her hair fell down to her hips. It was jet black, slightly matted in dirt and what appeared to be blood and looked like it hadn't been combed in years. Her hands were covered with cuts and bruises. There were two scars on her face. One ran fron just beneath her right eye to the top of her lip. This one was red, like it had recently been opened. The other ran straight through her left eye. They gave her a somewhat demonic look. She was saying something. Harry decided to listen.
"I am more concerned about your so-called plan to resolve it. No doubt Professor McGonagall will be making an inquiry." she said sternly.
"Well I can hardly blame her."said Kingsley in his deep voice."The meer thought of the Death Eaters arising without Voldemort was laughable a month ago. But now, not only have they revived but they are making full on attacks to innocent civilians."
The woman snorted and muttered something about just how innocent Minerve McGonangall was.............
