Percy shook his head. "She won't, and no I didn't do it because I want the last word. I don't care about that, but she can't assume that she will threaten the office without repercussions. I did it, because someone else might not. I did it, because she should know that she can't intimidate the Head Auror. I'm sorry, this isn't a power play or a vanity contest. It's important, and she needs to know that I won't back down."
He snorted. "I have no intention of apologising. In fact, let her try to fire me. It might just be the last thing she does as a Minister, and I would get my position back. I might be a Gryffindor, but I've played the political game a lot longer than you, Cass. She tries to, and she oversteps her boundaries. I can legally have her arrested and Morag is already working to have her replaced, with me keeping my job. I'm actually hoping that she tries to fire me."
