... school year. They weren't ashamed, but they were a little afraid of how the adults might take the news, particularly if, as Harry now suspected, they were married. Would he and Ginny need to move in together? As much as he loved her, Harry definitely wasn't ready to take their relationship to the next level. After all, he had just turned fifteen, and Ginny was still thirteen for another few days. They were too young to be thinking about that. XXX The next Defense lesson was a huge triumph, as Ron and Neville successfully managed to overcome Sirius. They all celebrated that, before once more discussing the highs and lows of their efforts. That done, they all got back to work, and spent the rest of the afternoon getting their arses kicked by Sirius, who seemed to have something to prove after he had been taken out by two fifteen year olds. It was only Sirius that day, as Remus had managed to get a job at a muggle bookstore and was working, and Tonks was on duty.

Sirius had spoken with Amelia and Tonks, and both thought that Kingsley Shacklebolt would be a good choice to add to their circle. He was a solid Auror and a good man, according to the two women who worked with him daily. Amelia told Sirius that he was a solid worker, and loyal to justice and doing what was right, rather then any person or office. She wasn't blind to corruption, by any stretch, and she knew that there were Aurors in her department that reported first to Fudge or Dumbledore, rather then herself. Kingsley, though, would help them if they clued him in to everything that was going on. Alastor Moody was another possibility, but all of them agreed that he was too close to Dumbledore for them to risk it just yet. A few days later, Ginny turned fourteen. It was a small party at The Burrow, with just immediate family, plus Harry, ...
