"Wait, how many Aurors are there? Excluding us." Atlas asked.

"Ask Athena; she snoops around our files. Let's see how much she knows about the Bureau," Chloé stated as she received a soft apology from the Gryffindor.

"There are currently 45 Aurors that are active in combat. Seven retired Aurors are here to train the future Aurors. The 15 that we are duelling are the largest recruitment we had over the two years, seeing that more Aurors retired than expected." Athena explained as she checked her clothes to have the most mobility for the duels. She had a feeling that they would choose to duel with her first. "I could go on, but there's a lot of things to keep in check."

Chloé chuckled as she made sure her subordinates placed the necessary spells for the duelling arena. Some of the heads of Bureaus and Branches were slowly making an appearance in the hall and taking their seats.

"Also, Athena, stop looking through our files, or you will do grunt work. You're too good to be kicked out." Chloé demanded and received a pout and a nod from Athena while her brothers chuckled as they watched their sister getting nagged. Soon they were joined by their opponents and the Delacour ladies.

Fleur gave a wink to Athena, which made her grin widely while receiving confused stares from her brothers.

"What?" Athena questioned as her brothers gave her a quizzical look.

"Since when you and Fleur have been like that?"

"Like all lovey-dovey, and you guys have been hanging out so much more," Atlas observed as he gestured over to the silver-blonde French. Chloé was smirking to herself as she eavesdropped on the siblings' conversation. She saw a thing or two.

"So you scolded me for not spending enough time with her, but now you are questioning why I'm spending so much time with her?"

"Wait, that's not what I'm saying. I-i'm, we're glad that you are spending time with her, but I mean, is there anything going on with you two?"

"Well—"

"Alright, looks like most of us are here!" Camille announces as she sees her sons groaning at the interruption from the corner of her eye. Athena was relieved, but she knew that her mother suspected something.

Fleur sat beside her mother as she watched Athena closely; she knew Athena was very confident and that she would most likely win all of her duels. Camille continued to give a welcome speech and introduced the duellists and the other Ministries and audiences. "So first up, Lavinge! Who do you choose as your first duel?"
