When Harry had caused a minor scandal by turning down the position of Head Auror - one he hadn’t even applied for but had been offered anyway - the position had been put out for interview, and no one but the man himself had been surprised when Ron got the job. He deserved it and, in Harry’s opinion, Ron was much better suited to the position than he ever had been. It had triggered Ron’s career to take off like a rocket, while Harry’s had quietly fizzled to nothingness. He didn’t mind though - instead he had made a lateral move when the dust had long settled and found himself a new professional niche in the Department of Mysteries acting as the resident specialist on all things dark magic.
