Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 13: A war without a winner (13)
Chapter 1563 A War without a Winner (Thirteen)
After chatting with Albert, Kingsley's attitude towards certain things changed, especially when it came to cleaning up the mess at Hogwarts, and he was willing to put more effort into it.
The interim minister seems to think that everyone should not continue to waste limited time and energy on dead people. This also makes the problem that everyone originally found difficult to solve easily.
At least they no longer have to think about how big a mass grave they have to dig to completely bury the hundreds of bodies without causing subsequent problems.
Anyway, it would be much easier to find a place to set fire to completely burn the corpses than to bury a large number of corpses.
After a brief negotiation between Ministry of Magic employees and Hogwarts professors, it was finally decided to burn the bodies of dark wizards who died in battle in an uninhabited wilderness some distance away from Hogwarts to avoid the thick smoke and smell. Have a bad impact on Hogwarts.
Many people have felt the changes in the Ministry of Magic. Even the employees of the Ministry of Magic were very surprised. It felt like a slow gear set that started to rotate silently and smoothly after someone added a lot of lubricant. .
The entire Ministry of Magic is dealing with the various messes left over from the Wizarding War in a staggering way.
In the eyes of others, this means that Kingsley is already suitable for the role of interim minister.
However, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who were silent had already guessed the reason.
Kingsley obviously received guidance from "masters".
They all know that Kingsley has always hoped to hire Albert as his senior adviser to help him get through the current difficulties as soon as possible.
Judging from the current changes in the Ministry of Magic, Kingsley has undoubtedly succeeded.
People who have truly understood Albert's "crisis plan" can see the shadow of that plan in the way the Ministry of Magic handles things.
Kingsley just further improved the plan, but everyone who stayed at Hogwarts did not hate Kingsley's decision. They were already exhausted and hoped to get rid of the mess they were burdened with as soon as possible. And Kingsley has used the name of the Ministry of Magic to help them accomplish what they want to do but cannot.
This is undoubtedly a happy event.
"So, wouldn't it be better if we did this from the beginning, and we would be much more relaxed." Professor Slughorn couldn't help but complain at the impromptu meeting.
To be honest, having to face mountains of corpses all day long will make even the toughest people feel physically uncomfortable and lose their appetite for food. Burying the dead as soon as possible is the greatest respect for them.
Professor Slughorn's words were recognized by everyone. At least most people felt that Kingsley did the right thing. Some things should be cut through quickly, rather than continuing to waste unnecessary time and energy on them. In the end, everyone was brought down.
Anyway, everyone was exhausted after working for two consecutive days, but they still couldn't stop to take a breath.
"What do the Ministry of Magic plan to do with the Inferi in the ditch? Are they going to set a fire and burn them directly to ashes?" Lupine, who was relieved, asked another question.
"The Ministry of Magic's Aurors have suffered heavy losses. Kingsley plans to relax restrictions and allow those who participated in the Battle of Hogwarts and are interested in becoming Aurors to directly participate in Auror training." Moody did not answer Lupin's question. question, let’s turn to another matter.
"They still plan to continue to use the Inferi from Hogwarts to train new Aurors?" Sirius was not surprised. As long as the Ministry of Magic is not stupid, it will do that.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Although the war is over, there are still a large number of Inferi created by Death Eaters in the UK. The Ministry of Magic needs to send a large number of experienced Inferi before the Inferi cause chaos. Go deal with this mess."
To fight against the Inferi, experienced members of the Defense Association are actually the best candidates, but most of these elite wizards trained by Albert himself have no intention of becoming Aurors.
Moody, who had chatted with Kingsley not long ago, was also very aware of the other party's helplessness and choice.
In many cases, it is impossible to cover everything. Solving problems is what the top management should do now.
Of course, Kingsley never forgot to build momentum for himself, lest he become a tool to clean up the mess and be kicked away afterwards.
With Kingsley's special connivance, the changes in the Ministry of Magic are being quickly spread throughout the British wizarding community through the Daily Prophet and Wizards Watch Station broadcasts, so as to let British wizards know that their interim minister Kingsley... Shacklebolt is fully capable of taking over the position of Minister of Magic, even better than his predecessors.
This press conference was undoubtedly a great success. The best proof is the several major events announced by the interim minister at the press conference.
As soon as the news of the successful hiring of Albert Anderson as senior advisor to the Minister of Magic and the invitation of the famous Harry Potter to join the Auror Office spread, everyone knew that the two major figures who ended the wizarding war were What does it mean that the heroes all choose to support Kingsley?
Kingsley's tough attitude towards Voldemort's remnants also won him the support of the majority of wizards who had suffered enough. He even made it clear that he would use veritaserum to interrogate prisoners to ensure that no criminal would be let go. The attitude of not slandering any wizards was actually supported by the masses. As for the few voices of resistance, they were directly drowned in the ocean of people.
Of course, Kingsley's attitude towards the use of Veritaserum is also the main reason why everyone is willing to believe that he will not abuse Veritaserum. Veritaserum, which is strictly monitored, will be a nightmare for all Voldemort's remnants, and they will make it impossible for criminals to hide.
As for the mourning meeting held at Hogwarts for the war dead, he quickly gained recognition and support from his former comrades.
What surprised Kingsley even more was that more than half of the Wizengamot members expressed support for his actions that night and hoped that he could restore peace to the wizarding world as soon as possible.
A member of the Wizengamot who did not want to be named even revealed directly to reporters that Kingsley should become the new Minister of Magic in the face of public expectations.
This is undoubtedly breaking news.
The Wizengamot's statement caught many pure-blood families off guard, especially the pure-bloods who secretly pushed Voldemort to control the Ministry of Magic.
Everyone knows that Voldemort did not control the Ministry of Magic by himself. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot do this. There must be the support of many pure-blood families behind him, and these people are not difficult to find. Because they get a lot of benefits from it.
They themselves knew this very well, and they knew even more clearly that they had to reach a certain tacit agreement with Kingsley to expel their family before he could secure his position as minister.
However, they never expected that a large number of Wizengamot members would support Kingsley and help him remove the word "temporary" in advance and secure his position as minister.
What frightens purebloods the most is the list of victims being compiled by the Ministry of Magic.
The unfinished list shows that most of the wizards in the UK have been persecuted by Voldemort. Among them, wizards born in Muggle families were treated the most cruelly. The surviving group of people participated in the subsequent wizarding war to some extent. , and successfully survived that tragic war.
This is terrible.
Hate never disappears, it can only be transferred.
As long as your brain is not particularly stupid, you will realize that the situation is not good.
Some of Kingsley's actions are not so difficult to understand.
It’s better to block than to open up!
Let his former comrade deliver justice to everyone and guide everyone's inner hatred, which is undoubtedly the most appropriate method at present.
It is much wiser to let people full of hatred go to Voldemort's remnants for revenge than to let them explode their accumulated hatred one day and destroy the fragile order that was finally established.
As pure-bloods with vested interests in the wizarding world~IndoMTL.com~, no one wants to see the situation in the British Ministry of Magic completely collapse, and no one wants to plunge the entire British wizarding world into chaos.
Kingsley also received high hopes from everyone.
In order to appease the emotions of the victims, those who died heroically in the war were recognized by the Ministry of Magic.
As for whether to award everyone the Merlin Order of Merlin or to design another set of medals as special awards, it is not a big deal to some people.
It's just a trivial honor, just give it.
“My senior advisor gave me a lot of suggestions, and he realized this problem earlier than anyone else.”
Kingsley has never denied this. After taking further control of the British Ministry of Magic, he will no longer hesitate and is ready to use neat methods to solve the problem.
For this reason, as the remnants of Voldemort and the Death Eaters who bear all the hatred, it is naturally their turn to be unlucky.
