Who is higher than she is? Only Fudge? Or are Heads of the Departments higher? In DH she and Yaxley seem to act like equals, don't they? I need to figure out how to call her job and how to convince someone that she is not just a regular secretary :-). Thanks for the answers, everybody :-).

Carol responds:
"Deputy" or "assistant minister" sounds right to me. But don't forget, when she's with Yaxley, she has an additional title. She's in charge of the Muggle Registration Office, or something like that. (Check the MoM chapters in DH for the exact title.)

Carol, hoping that someone else hasn't already provided this information!
