Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 62: Work Your Ass Off for the Subsidy

Due to a series of disturbances at Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic was thrown into extreme chaos.

At this tense moment, the Wizarding Court, which was obviously out of touch with the times, decided to exchange Peter Pettigrew for the release of Sirius Black only one week after receiving Weasley and Malfoy's request.

Oh, yes, I was so busy with things at Hogwarts that I completely forgot about it... Black was innocent, but he was kept in Azkaban...

However, the decision caused even greater confusion.

Before Black was officially exonerated, there were constant foolish attempts within the Ministry of Magic and the Wizarding Court to deliberately let Pettigrew go.

However, this seemed to have been foreseen, as the magical props to prevent escape were cast with a counter-spell, and these foolish officials fell under the spell one after another and were eventually arrested and cleared.

It turns out that Petillo was just a bait...

Ahhh...so amazing...

Faced with such a complex situation, my vocabulary seems to be poor...

Really... I was so scared that I felt like a child...

As expected of a sophisticated pure-blood nobleman... Malfoy's cunningness is already well known to everyone, but Weasley's shrewdness should not be underestimated.

They used Pettigrew as bait, trying to eliminate useless people who might become obstacles to the future development of the Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, with this method, only the foolish people would make mistakes, and the pure-blood nobles would not become the target of criticism. It was a brilliant move.

So, was it Weasley or Malfoy who came up with this plan?

I guess it should be Weasley?

Although Lucius is an extremely arrogant nobleman, he is actually of a relatively gentle temperament... Although he has the self-esteem of a noble, is good at behind-the-scenes operations, and knows how to take care of the feelings of others, I think it is unlikely that he would think of such a bold strategy.

On the other hand, although the current head of the Weasley family always smiles and seems more amiable than the cold Lucius, he is actually a truly tricky person.

Over the years, he has been secretly protecting a large number of family members and resisting the threats of dark forces. He has played the role of a strong father and protected the family since he was a child.

He is good at setting traps silently and catching his targets.

His appearance is totally inconsistent with his inner self.

In this respect, although the heir is not his son, he does have many similarities with him.

That kind of atmosphere that makes people let down their guard is very dangerous for ordinary non-factional employees like us.

So, if I were to make friends, I would definitely choose Lucius.

However, for ordinary people like us, there is no such opportunity at all, so you can rest assured.

Really, I am lucky to be born into a pure-blood noble family...

The current head of the Weasley family did suffer a lot regarding the Septimus incident, but he has been observing in secret, waiting for an opportunity.

It's so scary... He hides his inner terror under his gentle appearance. This type of person looks harmless, but is actually the scariest...

However, if it was him, he should be able to control the stupid Blake... That's reassuring.

As a result, the atmosphere within the Ministry of Magic became more transparent, but too much transparency caused a storm.

The situation developed to the point where retired staff had to be urgently recalled and detention centers were almost full.

Due to overcrowding, the detention center had to be expanded through magic, and the workload increased significantly.

We finally realized that even though those bastards were useless, they were doing some work.

There was an extreme shortage of staff, and the new employees who were supposed to start working in September were put directly into work without even receiving any training.

Even so, it was obvious that there were not enough people, so those candidates who passed the final interview were also urgently notified to fill the vacancies.

It is said that those students who suddenly received the employment notice from the Ministry of Magic were overjoyed, but do you know that in front of you is the gate of hell?

If those dangerous objects were not removed, Hogwarts might have to be bombed once a year.

Ignorance is really enviable... But still, welcome you, the future juniors!

Even so, there was still a serious shortage of staff, so much so that even spouses who did not normally work were mobilized.

The nursery is set to expand, but most families with children have said they are reluctant to come and help unless there is an emergency until Hogwarts reopens.

After all, they are well aware of their husbands' work status, and those with children probably won't come, right? However, some families still expressed their willingness to help, such as those who are saving money to buy a house, or families with multiple children who want to raise funds for their children's education, and some wives of older employees who want to save some money for a good retirement life.

By the way, my wife said that even if the children returned to Hogwarts, she would not want to come to help, she just came to bring me a change of clothes.

She gave me a death order, telling me to work hard for the children because there would definitely be special allowances this time.

Some branches were temporarily closed, and even other related agencies suspended non-emergency work to increase manpower.

Seeing this trend, perhaps feeling that the situation had eased, the families of other Order of the Phoenix members and the families of Death Eaters also began to accuse Dumbledore, making the problem more complicated.

Hello...what should I do?

The situation is completely out of control.

Most employees have to rely on medication, work around the clock, and are rarely able to go home.

Because there are too few people, everyone is exhausted. When did the wizarding world become so inward-looking?

Just then, a shocking incident occurred.
