Summary:

The ministry is stressed,
The Order is in shambles,
The packs first full moon is stressful,
And Fenrir is pleased.

Rufus Scrimgeour was stressed.

The previous minister of magic was an absolute imbecile! How did he expect the Aurors to find them if they don't get any days off! He devided the department of missing witches and wizards too find two different people, one a wanted werewolf the other a missing wanted minor.

"Minister? With what can we help? If it's about Potter and Greyback, we have yet too find new information." A wizard called Philip greeted him smiled at the young man and greeted him."No, it is not Philip. In fact I have come too tell you something important," "Sure what is it Minister?" Philip asked curiously. The minister smiled at his curiosity, as he knew this was the only thing that had happened these last couple of months that was worth being curious about.

"I want you and the the rest of your apartment too continue only searching for Harry Potter. I want him found soon as I fear that we might completely lose him this winter. The department of creatures will be searching for Fenrir Greyback. I also want you to take next weekend off and de-stress. Your working hours will be shortened too a minimum of 6pm and a maximum of 8pm. Oh! You will be coming in starting from tomorrow at 8am. Is that agreeable?" Phillip looked relieved at the mention of his new working hours and the break he will receive next weekend. Even if it is only two days he knew that the following holiday he will get another break.

"Yes, Minister. It is doable, is there anything else?" The minister looked pleased at the fact that he agreed and smiled,"Yes please tell the rest of your department as I need to speak with the department of creatures." Phillip agreed and excused himself too go tell the rest with a smile on his face. When he reached their office and told them they all cheered and worked further with huge smile or grins on their faces. And depending on who you looked at you could maybe just maybe see hope in their eyes at the thought of finding the Potter boy.

The minister smiled at the sound of his workers cheering at the thought of their new hours and their upcoming break, his yellow eyes had a twinkle of delight in them much like Dumbledores. He walked further too the other side of the ministry building to go talk to the next department. Upon his arrival his smile faltered the members of the creature department were all looking exhausted and severely stressed. There was no doubt about it, Fudge had probably given the department of missing witches and wizards the job on finding their last whereabouts and given this department the job of searching the places they were last supposedly spotted.

When they realised he was there they greeted him with half smiles on their faces and this made Scrimgeour all the more willing on telling them the new arrangements. "Hello I hope all of you are doing good?" He continued speaking after they nodded."That is good. I have decided that the department of creatures will be searching for only Greyback while the department of missing witches and wizards will be searching for only Harry Potter. And I want you all too take the following weekend off too relax, I also want all of you too come in tomorrow at 8am and go home between 6-9pm. These will also be your new working hours."

Alexander who was leaning over the chair of his brother too look at a report of a supposed sighting of Harry Potter in Brazil, was now standing upright with a big smile on his face while he asked with his eyes if he was speaking the truth. At the look that Alexander was giving him he nodded and smiled then turned around and walked away. The department of creatures were processing the new development and after a few seconds of silence they all had huge smiles on their faces. They all silently thanked the minister. They dropped all reports on Harry Potter and picked up all the reports on Fenrir Greyback and focused only on him. Almost immediately they were all hyper focused on the reports on him, some of them were understanding the information better and others felt liked his location was on the tips of their tounges.
