After sending Tonks back to her office, Ethan continued to Amelia Bones's office.
Ethan stopped in front of a black wooden door, which had a golden sign that read Amelia Bones, Division of Magical Law Enforcement.
Ethan knocked on the door a few times, and a majestic female voice came from the door after a while: "Come in."
Ethan pushed open the black wooden door and saw Amelia Bones, who had short gray hair and wore a pair of monocles.
She was sitting at a large desk, frowning over a document.
Seeing Ethan coming in, Amelia Bones raised her head and looked at Ethan.
Looking at Ethan's unfamiliar face, she was initially slightly puzzled but quickly reacted.
"You must be Mr. Ethan, welcome to join the Division of Magical Law Enforcement." Amelia Bones stood up and shook hands with Ethan.
"Thank you, Director Bones," Eason said.
"Mr. Ethan, here are the documents you must sign."
She took a few papers from the drawer next to them and put them in front of Ethan.
"No problem." Ethan flipped through these documents and found that most were onboarding process documents.
Ethan signed the document, and Amelia double-checked them and stamped it with the Ministry of Magic's stamp.
"Okay, Mr. Ethan. I'll show you your office now," she said, leading Ethan out.
She led Ethan in the opposite direction of Mr. Weasley's office and stopped in front of an oak door with a sign that read Magical Crisis Response Team.
Ethan noticed that Amelia Bones looked at the brand with a complicated look.
She took out a bunch of keys, and after a while, she sorted out a long brass key from the pile of keys and put it into the keyhole of the oak door.
The door opened with a crisp snap. Amelia pushed it open, and Ethan walked in.
He was a little curious about what his office looked like.
In stark contrast to Mr. Weasley's dark, shabby, cluttered office, Ethan first saw a neat office area.
Several desks and their matching chairs are neatly placed in the office area.
The tables and chairs are brand new, exuding a good wood fragrance.
Several tall bookshelves are clinging to the office wall, and the bookshelves are still empty.
There are several windows on the wall, and the weather outside is a sunny day controlled by magic—bright sunlight streams in directly through the windows.
A partitioned office caught Ethan's attention. It was surrounded by glass, but it seemed enchanted, so Ethan couldn't see what was inside.
This independent office occupies a corner of this large office,
"Mr. Ethan, this is your office."
The office has a large desk and padded chair that looks very comfortable.
Two sofas are on the other side of the table and chairs, and a coffee table is in the middle of one of them. This area should be used for meeting guests.
There is also a bookshelf beside Ethan's desk, much smaller than the office area outside. These are all the items in Ethan's office.
"Mr. Ethan, this is the key to your office." Amelia Bones took the brass key off the large keychain and handed it to Ethan.
"Thank you, Director Bones." Ethan thanked Amelia sincerely.
"It's fine; this is what I should do." her face showed a rare smile.
"The Ministry of Magic has granted you the right to retrieve all files, Mr. Ethan. If you want to retrieve any materials, you can go directly to the archives to retrieve them." Amelia said.
"In addition, there are no members of the Magic Crisis Response Team now; if you want to recruit members, you can tell me," said Amelia Bones, who suddenly paused.
"You can report directly to the Minister's Office." Amelia's expression after saying this was somewhat complicated.
She had mixed feelings about the group named the Division of Magical Law Enforcement, but it was not under her control.
Amelia was adamantly opposed when Fudge first proposed opening a new group in the Division of Magical Law Enforcement.
But Fudge's attitude was callous. To open the group, Fudge did both hard and soft work and even increased the Department of Magical Law Enforcement allocation for the coming year.
Ultimately, the Magical Crisis Response Team was established, but Amelia still felt stuck in her throat.
"Then, Mr. Ethan, the handover ceremony is over. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me." Amelia was ready to leave.
"Thank you, Director Bones." Ethan thanked the director again and sent her to the office door, watching her disappear.
Watching Amelia Burns out of sight, Ethan closed the office door again.
Looking at the clean and tidy office, Ethan smiled wryly; it seemed that Fudge paid a high price to win over him.
On his first day here, he also attracted Amelia, the head of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement.
Disgust with Chief Auror Rufus Scrimgeour.
Rufus Scrimgeour was probably prejudiced against himself because of Tonks' misunderstanding.
It was clear that Ethan had a long break-in period with his colleagues at the Ministry of Magic.
Ethan set his team's first target on Rita Skeeter. This talkative woman almost got into big trouble and needed a good beating.
Ethan got up and walked to the archives. He needed to look up the information on Rita Skeeter.
Ethan knew Rita Skeeter's Biggest Secret. She was an unregistered Animagus who'd turn into a beetle.
Then, secretly eavesdrop on other people's conversations without being noticed by others and dig out the content worthy of their disclosure.
She then exaggerated the content of the articles to attract readers' attention.
Catching Rita Skeeter was necessary because he knew how much trouble Rita would cause later.
Of course, controlling her to become his mouthpiece was also a good choice; after all, she does have a vast readership.
