But remember that there's a big difference between being a junior _wizard_
and being the junior _minister_.

I would think that getting to be a Junior Minister would be the next step
after being a department head and a very senior post indeed. Percy's a long
way off that and, especially if Fudge is pushed out of office after the last
fiasco, he's going to have to keep his head down and work very hard indeed
not to go too.

But I agree that, given the slower timescales of the WW, 9 years _is_ a
quite speedy time to climb the greasy pole to the top.
