Hogwarts in the shadows

As the first day of school at Hogwarts approaches.

Percy Weasley, in his dual capacity as Acting Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Deputy Director of Law and Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, has once again become the focus of public opinion.

When he went on stage for an interview, he announced another resolution.

Regarding compensation for damaged items in the World Cup camp attack.

Although it is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic, it is out of deep concern for the welfare of society and the principle of serving the people.

The British Ministry of Magic will generously donate and is willing to cover one-tenth of the losses as a consolation to the victims.

However, due to the wide variety of lost items, it is difficult to verify them one by one.

The Ministry of Magic will conduct questioning by administering truth serum.

To ensure that every compensation is delivered to the real victims.

This is all done on a voluntary and open basis.

If you are unwilling to take the Veritaserum, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to verify the authenticity of your loss and will not provide compensation.

Shortly afterwards, Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, also came to the stage and announced a new decree issued by the Ministry of Magic.

Ministry of Magic Law Order 9527.

Anyone who stirs up trouble in a public place and causes serious disorder in public order will violate the Public Security Law.

Those who seriously disrupt social order may be sentenced to up to ten years in prison and may also be fined.

As soon as this decree was issued, there was an uproar.

However, there are always some people who just don't believe in it.

Relying on their large numbers, they turned a deaf ear to the law and continued to gather in the hall of the Ministry of Magic and shout.

Faced with this situation, Percy mobilized all capable combat personnel in the Ministry of Magic, except those on missions outside.

He personally leads a large team of Aurors, police officers, investigators and security personnel.

The anti-apparition formation was activated, and these troublemakers were caught in the trap, all taken away.

As for resistance?

When Percy appeared at the head of the team, his voice was carried to every corner of the hall via the "loud voice" spell.

"All law enforcement officers are now authorized to temporarily use the Unforgivable Curses. Anyone who resists may be shot dead on the spot."

At this moment, all the arrogant wizards became "quails".

They surrendered and laid down their weapons, followed the law enforcement officers obediently, and were taken to the temporary prison of the Law Enforcement Department.

But the number of people was several times greater than Percy had expected.

So the prison is overcrowded. Not to mention sitting, even standing is crowded.

Percy looked at the crowd of thousands and made a surprising decision.

There is no free water or food in the prison.

Want to eat and drink water?

Take out money.

Water, five liters.

There is only one set meal for food, which costs 5 yuan.

As for why it is more expensive and tastes worse than outside?

At this price, you’ll be hungry if you don’t eat.

As for when these people will be dealt with?

Wait!

The Ministry of Magic is so busy now, it doesn't have time to take care of them.

Percy Weasley took center stage at the British Ministry of Magic with this almost arrogant attitude.

Its popularity was so great that it quickly swept the entire wizarding world.

Wizards all over the world know that a tough guy has appeared in the British Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore, who had been hiding in Nurmengard, had to show up at this time to stand up for Percy or the British Ministry of Magic.

The main reason is that the social response caused by Percy's action was too huge.

Countless foreign wizards were captured, and the international situation became turbulent and unstable.

So Dumbledore couldn't stay out of it, he had to show up.

Moreover, due to the situation, he had no chance to even think about objecting and had to stand firmly on the side of the British Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Ministries of Magic of various countries to denounce the British Ministry of Magic.

As long as he dares to stand against the British Ministry of Magic, the British wizarding world will be in turmoil.

This made Dumbledore, who was already looking haggard and thin, even more tired.

Malfoy had contacted him through Snape.

And Malfoy expressed his thoughts.

That's why Dumbledore has been hiding and not showing up, because he doesn't want to support the Ministry of Magic, but now...

This was the first time Dumbledore really wanted to retire.

He really wanted to travel around the world with Gellert, away from all the troubles of this world.

Unfortunately, this is just thought.

Voldemort was making moves in secret, and Hephis was stirring up trouble there.

He really can't leave!

Until the day school started at Hogwarts.

The turmoil that had swept the entire wizarding world gradually calmed down.

Because the last wave of the public opinion war has already begun.

The British Ministry of Magic, based on international wizarding law and local laws, stands at the highest moral ground.

The entire incident was comprehensively and carefully sorted out and reported.

Even the largest page was dedicated to Hephaestus, and the name Dormammu was officially known to wizards all over the world.

Percy was the main person in charge of the whole thing, and it took less than ten days.

He went from being an ordinary clerk to becoming the youngest person in the history of the British wizarding world.

Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Deputy Director of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic.

He became the most sought-after figure in the British wizarding world.

His power even rivals that of the Minister of Magic.

Some have even asserted that Percy Weasley may become the youngest Minister of Magic in the history of the British wizarding world.

Percy certainly knew who had given all this to him.

Through his cooperation with Lucius during this period, he also learned a lot about Hephis.

The night before Percy officially became the director, he made a special trip to the Brian's old house.

"Have you really thought it through?" Hephesus looked at Percy, who was kneeling in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"From that day forward, my heart belongs to you. I swear to be your eternal servant. I beg you to grant me this, my Lord." Percy said firmly.

Hephis' eyes were full of praise, "Percy, I really didn't misjudge you. Remember, the British Ministry of Magic is just your starting point."

Percy lowered his head with a trace of surprise on his face, which was then replaced by great joy.

His voice trembled a little, "Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

"Percy, you have demonstrated your worth and done a great job this time, better than I expected." Hephis praised.

"It's all thanks to the master's advice. Percy doesn't dare to take credit for it." Percy responded quickly and humbly.

Hephis nodded in satisfaction, "Stretch out your right arm."

"Thank you, Master." Percy knelt down and took a few steps forward, stretching his right arm in front of Hephes.

Hephis extended his right hand and touched Percy's arm with his fingertips.

A shadow flame formed on Percy's forehead and gradually disappeared.

Percy felt the magic power surging wildly in his body, which made him feel delighted.
