Madam Marchbank stood up. "I have to offer my sincere apology, chief warlock, lords and ladies, about what has happened. I know that many of you demand answers, why I would allow this, but I can’t really give you any reasons. I only can give you my formal apology, what I have done, and I know that it was wrong. So, I hope that you can accept my apology. Apart from that I am stepping back from my position as the head of the Department of Education." Everyone was shocked about Madam Marchbanks next move. Albus was trying not to scream in fury, what Griselda was doing. She couldn’t abandon her position and his people in the department. If she was stepping back from her position, then who would be the next head of the DOE. Albus needed someone, who was loyal to him, but who would take this position. Griselda was the only one in the order, who had the credentials.
