Summary: Star Wars Episode Two influenced this story heavily; however there will be no crossover. There will be a lot of scenes that closely resemble some of the ones in the movie Draco Malfoy (Good and Auror) is assigned to protect the Mistress of Magic's (Amelia Bones) confidant and Ambassador, the fiery and independent Ginerva Weasley. He's in for quite a lot more than a few spats and some harsh words. It seems someone wants Ginny dead, badly. Full of Draco and Ginny goodness, just not right at the beginning.
AN: This is for Kristen. I decided to dedicate this story to you cuz you're my very best friend. (Awww mushiness) Plus I know how much you love Anakin Skywalker.
This first chapter is really just a preview of the action to come and its rather short.
I sadly do not own Star Wars (or Anakin Skywalker would not end up as Darth Vader) nor just as sadly do I not own Harry Potter, (If I did would I be writing this for free? Highly doubt it.)
An Auror's Mission: The Never Ending Battle
Chapter One: The World After
TruthbeTold
The magical world had changed quite a lot after the fall of Voldemort. The countries had warred slightly with each other afterwards as many of them had sided with the Dark Lord in what was called the Last Battle. What an awful title for a war that sparked so many skirmishes afterwards. The world divided into several different renamed nations unbeknownst to the muggles. Those that sided with the dark lord extricated the muggle borns from their borders but under treaty if a muggle was killed by magic there would be a war against that nation. Amelia Bones had taken over Fudge's position and now led the remainder of the United Kingdom or the Phoenix Nation as Mistress of Magic with a steady hand. Many were opposed to her leadership. Though there had been many women in the position before; Amelia Bones was not just any woman. She was a woman who angered many organizations such as the Second Power Federation who wanted to control the government in a different way. They didn't trust countries that weren't willing to pay top galleon for protection. Amelia and her head confidant and Ambassador to the nations, Ginerva Weasley had crushed their futile attempts to establish magical trade with a few of the less trust worthy of the magical countries, Meeall and Glisrick. The death eaters that survived and escaped imprisonment during the Last Battle joined under Lucius Malfoy and were behind many attempts to assassinate the Mistress of Magic and her collaborators. They are helped along by two that have power and are trusted with in the Ministry.

A serene looking young woman with rich scarlet hair stalked before her group of assistants and bodyguards. She was dressed in regal robes of black fit for the Ambassador of the Phoenix Nation and a senator for the nation of Breeone. She was back from a recent voyage to the Nation of Herick where she had discussed possible merging with the Phoenix Nation. She swept across the large marble platform that led from the port-site to the Counsel Stadium. The ministry building had been destroyed by Voldemort a year before the Last Battle ended. All matters of the Phoenix Nation were decided by a Senate made up of the leaders and representatives of the hundreds of small countries that were under the rule of the Phoenix and then were authorized by the Mistress. The Ambassador was here to vote against the establishment of a magical army.
She never saw the three cloaked strangers until it was too late, but she heard their words. AVADA KEDAVRA! CRUCEMORTIS! AVADA KEDAVRA! Then they were gone as though they had never been there.
Ambassador Ginerva Weasley watched in horror as her decoy and friend Larina Barton crumpled to the ground as the red light of the Crucemortis curse hit her square in the chest. Larina had been disguised as Ginny so that if she was taken captive they could not divulge information from her, but Ginny had not expected this. She broke into a run being sure to have her wand ready. She kneeled next Larina taking her friends hand. Larina's disguise slowly melted away the red hair and blue eyes were replaced with her own straight brown and amber eyes.
"Larina, I'm so sorry. It should be me there." Ginny whispered, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. "It should have been me." She held her comrade up off the ground supporting her back and holding her trembling hand tightly.
"No no no, don't say that," Larina choked out her breath coming out in short heaves. Unlike Avada Kedavra, the Crucemortis curse did not kill you instantly though was just as fatal. "I did my job. I kn…knew the risks. You…" She paused trying to catch her breath. "You do your job now. Go make the world brighter for me. You were my best friend, Gin." Larina gasped her forehead furrowed in pain.
"You are my best friend, Lare, and you made the world brighter for me." Ginny sobbed wiping away a trickle of blood that ran down from the corner of Larina's mouth. "Go to that better place now, you'll make it even brighter there." Ginny sobbed.
Larina looked up and focused on Ginny's eyes. She smiled softly.
"I'll see you there." She whispered with her last breath. Her body relaxed and the pain left her body along with the brightness in her eyes as she let go of the world. Ginny felt a pair of thick arms go around her waist and her fingers slipped from Larina's grip.
"We must get you out of here. It's not safe. Larina would not want to give her life just so yours could be taken seconds later." Her security commander, Clearus Ragert, said sad but firm as he lifted her up and away easily. He carried her back to the port site surrounded closely by her guard. He summoned several emergency port keys and they disappeared completely.
