I'm not sure about Yaxley working at the Ministry, Alla. If you 
mean "The Dark Lord Ascending", he definitely couldn't be a Ministry 
worker at that time. Wasn't he apprehended at the end of HBP? 
Scrmigeour told Harry that "somebody Stupefied a DE on top of the 
tower" or something like that. 

Wasn't it Yaxley whom Harry Petrficus Totalused (not Stupefied) on the 
tower? Doesn't it all mean that Yaxley was arrested? He certainly 
couldn't work at the Ministry after that :-)! I assumed that he was 
arrested and escaped a little later together with Lucius and Co.

Maybe Yaxley worked at the Ministry before, like Avery did, but it was 
never mentioned in the book, IIRC. I thought he Imperiused Thicknesse 
not at the Ministry, but somewhere else.


zanooda, who didn't check her facts and who can be totally wrong on all 
counts :-)!
