Normally the firing range at the Ministry of Magic was filled with people casting spells, timing their throws or practicing brand new things that had learned. But today, the range was nearly empty except down at one end where a horde of people had gathered around a single firing range spot. “There’s no way she can hit all those in one shout.” “Obviously you’ve never seen Miss Reilly at the firing range.” In the middle of the group stood a young woman, she took a deep breath before showing off her perfected stance and firing her spell, the ball of electricity shot out and split into four separate parts before slamming against the targets with such an impact that the targets and the stands exploded instantaneously. Expressions of shock, surprise and curse words left the group surrounding the woman. The woman just smirked, slipped her wand into her holder and left as the men and women who surrounded her exchanged words and money. Those people didn’t know who they were betting on and she had somewhere to be.

“Yes sir.” The young woman said as she walked into the Minister’s office. Her heart was pounding but her straight face didn’t show that, she grew up focusing so hard on things that she really didn’t feel like that she needed to express too many emotions.

“Brittany Reilly.” Her face twitched at the use of her first name, the caramel eyes of the blonde blinked a few times; a small expression of her annoyance at the use of her first name. It was so plain and boring and common that she preferred to be called Bree, but she knew better than to correct the Minister of Magic. “Your talents have not gone unnoticed by me or the other staff for that matter. We’ve been watching you closely and all your intense training, you are quite an impressive. But it’s time for you to put your talents to better use.”

“Sir?” She said questioningly as she tilted her head from her shouldered attention stance. “What better use is there of my skills then to be an Auror?”

“Oh that, is something very few people know. And you shall be one of the few.” The Minister said gesturing to a seat. Once she took it, he leaned over his desk and began to go over the details of what the D.A.D. did. He could see interest spreading across her face further and further as he spoke. “So, with that being said, you don’t really have much rules to follow but there is a catch.”

“Catch sir?” She repeated, a confused look spread across her small face. 

“You will have a partner. But I’m sure that won’t a problem am I right Miss Reilly?”

“I don’t see it as a problem sir.”

“Wonderful. Come in.” The Minister called out to the door, an older man walked in, “This is Alex Marter, he will take you to your partner, I’m sure he’ll be glad to have someone to work with.”

It wasn’t until she got to her feet that she registered that he said he, and before she could get out the words to questioning why her partner was male, the two of them were out in the hallway. “Okay… I guess I’m working with a guy, that’s new…” She said under her breath as she followed the man to lead her to her coworker. It wasn’t until they got outside that was a confused. “He’s not here?”

“No, he works out of his home. He keeps holds of the relics that he helps destroy to insure that are done, it’s safer to keep them as far away from civilization was possible.”

“That seems logical.” Bree said as they took off in the Keyport to appear in front of the house. “Okay…” She said softly as the guy left her with a packet of information to give her new partner. A roll of her eyes left her as she walked up the path and straightened out her black shirt and dusted off her blue jeans. Leaning over she pushed the doorbell button and waited.
