Trust and obey, for there's no other way

*To have James pulled from his job, the one for which he is on public record as an employee at least, in the middle of the day and left standing in front of the desk of the head of Wizarding Britain without any explanation, Crouch Sr. looks remarkably unhurried.

A quick glance around the office doesn't give any explanation for the meaning of this summons, everything in the room is neat and severely organised. Even his inbox tray is completely empty, despite the understandably high volume of things that pass though his office daily. A completely empty inbox is a miraculous feat of efficiency only achieved once every decade by most Ministry personnel - and even then only if they're lucky - making the Minister's tray seem to yawn alarming up at the world, broadcasting the absurd ability of it's beholder to leave no trace of how he works.

As for the man behind it all, the same man who had personally written up the contract with James' signature on it, filed just as Moody had suspected in a place Aurors had no business rifling though, he begins his explanation as though a meeting with a member of his own personal law enforcement is perfectly normal.*


I trust that your supervisor won't miss you for the rest of the day, Mr. Potter, for you see, I have some business that I believe is important be attended to quickly. Before anything has a chance to get out of hand.

*James doesn't mistake the urgency of Crouch's summons, and hustles down the hall to his office seconds after it lands on his chest. When he gets there, he looks around, and nothing looks amiss. The man himself doesn't look that bothered or frantic or angry... or whatever. But it isn't often he's called in this way, so his brow furrows.*

Erm, sure. Whatever you need, Sir.

A lot of the work I will be assigning to you will be an attempt to do just that. To put a stop to unnecessary, harmful things before they escalate. You are apart of an antecedental relief effort.

I have no files for you, but I have a name...

Do you have any experience, Mr. Potter, with political agitators?

*James keeps his face schooled, but his first thought is that politics isn't usually under his purview. He chooses his words carefully, wanting Crouch to to most of the talking.*

No, sir. I can't say that I do.

Is that so. Well they are all around us, one need only only turn their head.

Some of these individual will turn to criminal means to demonstrate their opinions, and whereas some are not worth our time... your duties will include finding select ones in order to safeguard against the formation of any more undesirable organisations. This country does not need any more groups to terrorise it or confuse the people.

There is a man in Kent, who has the type of profile we watch out for.
