Harry stared at her, too stunned to think of what to say at first. "I'm sorry, Minister, I must ask for a clarification. Just what do you mean by Mr Ollerton being in charge of the Aurors?" he asked, because that sounded like a lot different than him being in charge of a handful of Hit-wizards in a task force.
He didn't like the implication. He also worried about how many men Mr Nott would require. "I must stress that we're stretched tight as is at the department. I can barely spare anyone at the moment, and Hogwarts is too large to protect. If we want to really protect the students we need to close off large areas of the school so that a few Aurors can stretch a long way."
