"I want Mr Potter found soon, Madam Bones. You know how serious the situation is. I want to find that mass murderer soon. Here are some methods I came up with. They are the best methods I could come up with, if you can add something, it would be all better.

I'm increasing the funding to find Sirius Black. Send more Aurors on this mission. This is a high priority job I want it to be done as soon as possible. People are losing trust in us, Madam Bones. Make sure he is found." Fudge said optimistically, surprising Madam Bones.

"But sir, everything is alright. Mr Potter is out of Hogwarts with his family, probably enjoying the holidays. Doing anything like this might not put us in a good light." She argued. Fudge thought for a minute.

"Then find him and explain the situation. I know he can understand. He is the Hero of the country, Madam Bones. He will agree." Fudge said with confidence.

"Madam Bones, Auror Shacklebolt reporting. Harry Potter is out of the country with his relatives on a vacation. His neighbours testified to the evidence." Kingsley barged in urgently.

Madam Bones turned to Fudge at that. As Harry is abroad, it would take some time to find him as they need to search many places. Fudge knew it.

"Ok. Increase search for Sirius Black and find him. You will receive the necessary funds." Fudge relented and left Madam Bones. Poor Fudge didn't notice Madam Bones smirk at his back as he left her with Shacklebolt.

"Ok, tell me what's going on. Did you find him?" Madam Bones asked.

"Well, yes. But though what his neighbours say is true, Mr Potter is living in Tonks house. Junior Auror Tonks revealed this herself when we contacted her for search." Kingsley reported.

"Good. Appoint her as his guard for the rest of Christmas. Since he is in her house, it would be easier for her to keep an eye on him." Madam Bones ordered.

"But, Madam Bones, don't you think Tonks is too inexperienced to guard Mr Potter? The Minister seemed very keen on protecting him."

"Yes, Auror Shacklebolt, your observation is correct. However, Heir Potter is not any ordinary 3rd-year student. He can handle himself. Moreover, Sirius Black won't come out of the bush to attack him. If we appoint any additional personnel to guard him, he will definitely take it as we breaching his privacy.

Trust me, Shacklebolt. You don't want to make him mad at us. Who knows what he will do in revenge. So Auror Tonks is enough to take care of Mr Potter for now. As we get additional funds, dispatch few more people into the search group but start recruiting more people into our Department.

It's been a long since we started declining. I want to see an increase in our numbers soon. Order new equipment and anything our department needs. We should not miss this opportunity." Madam Bones ordered and Shacklebolt nodded and left to do everything she ordered.

A big article about the increased search party and recruitment of new members into the Auror ranks has been published in the Evening Prophet.

Fudge was very happy with the turn of events and he is sure his ratings will pick up again. With a happy smile, he left his office.

With Harry

After eating lunch, Tonks and Harry started talking about various things. Mostly educational and Hogwarts related as Andromeda is adamant about not about talking anything seriously.

After eating snacks, Harry turned to a lazy Tonks, who received a letter and saw her eyes widen in surprise. The owl delivered looked different.

While Harry was observing the owl and comparing it to Hedwig, Tonks groaned. "Come on. Can't I have a peaceful holiday?" She asked no one and sent her reply with the owl.

"What happened, Dora?" Andromeda asked.

"Duty, mother. It seems I have been appointed as Heir Potters guard here." She said sarcastically, pointing to Harry.

"What? Who appointed you?" Harry asked in surprise. He didn't ask for any security. Then why did they do it?

"That monocle lady."

"Who? Are you referring to Amelia Bones?" Harry asked and Tonks nodded.

"I didn't ask for any security. Ted, did you?"

"No, Harry. Why do you need security anyway? It's not like anyone will attack you here." Ted replied.

"Read this," Tonks said and gave the letter she received to Ted while Harry and Andromeda leaned in to read it.
