As it so happens, the "spat" was because Yaxley asked Marlogosia Starling for access to my Private Messages. She refused him so he went over her head to Mafalda Hopkirk, who also denied him access.
Braithewaite is no power-player but I reckon he likes being useful to powerful people. I mean, honestly, he's got to be someone like Hopkirk, who Auntie Bella knows will serve her interests first and foremost.
Everyone knows that it's Bellatrix Lestrange who makes the really big decisions in the Auror Division, right? But she can't be bothered with the minor, day-to-day things so she slots someone else in to do it.
So you might as well just start thinking of it as Bellatrix Lestange: now in charge of MLE.
