  Summary

  The official record says Harry Potter failed his Auror training.
  The official record says he pushes parchment for the Minister.
  The official record says his wife Ginny works in Sports and has no idea.

  The official record is a lie.

  Harry is the Ministry’s invisible knife. His marriage is his solace. And the most dangerous moment of his day isn’t the mission—it’s 6:30 PM, when Ginny asks, “How was work, dear?” and he has to smile and say “Boring as always.”
