Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

The floo network between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts has been repaired in a hurry, but if the Order of the Phoenix or the Aurors want to use it now, they must do the same as the Chinese wizards before they were sent to the world: turn off the power supply when not in use. , say hello first when using it, and then inject energy to turn it on...

Energy supply talents were immediately identified, and they worked day and night to expand and maintain the Ministry of Magic's energy supply equipment. Some of them were sent to Hogwarts - they would install a storage device for the school's castle that could simply charge and discharge magic power. energy supply system.

Ministry of Magic, London. All employees are prohibited from leaving, and everyone must undergo Legilimency and Veritaserum inspections by Aurors. Anyone who has participated in the encirclement and suppression of Aurors, or has a strong affinity for the Death Eater government, will be caught and thrown into the In prison.

The entrances and exits of the Ministry of Magic have also been closed because the floo network has failed. If these shocked employees are allowed to go home, it is difficult to imagine how many people will be able to come to work the next day...

The second thing the Aurors did after occupying the Ministry of Magic was to take control of newspapers, magazines and other media organizations. Through these channels, they reported everything that had happened this year: Death Eaters sneaking into the Ministry of Magic and setting traps to seriously injure Dumbledore. Lido, Snape and Dumbledore worked hard to gain the Dark Lord's trust, the Aurors fled and resisted but were slandered as traitors, Barty Jr. pretended to be Lockhart to stabilize people's hearts, they fought fiercely during the period, and they recaptured the Ministry of Magic after hardships... etc. A series of events were modified and polished to benefit one's own side and then announced to wizards across the UK.

After announcing that the Death Eater Ministry of Magic had collapsed, the new Ministry of Magic immediately notified wizards in all European countries to ensure that the Statute of Secrecy would still be observed. At the same time, all wizards are required to remain calm and restrained, stay in safe places and do not go out at will, waiting for the Ministry of Magic's post-war reconstruction and "cleaning up the remnants."

All the wizards who participated in the defense of Hogwarts lived in the school's castle, and the wizards and squibs who participated in the attack on the Ministry of Magic were all stationed in the Ministry of Magic. They won't go home again until the Death Eaters are wiped out.

Totally understaffed, after discussion. They published a pardon order for strikers in the new Daily Prophet. As long as the strikers did not do anything evil during the Death Eaters' reign, they would be pardoned directly and continue to be employed by the new Ministry of Magic - apply for a pardon. Of course, the hand is not immune to a test of Legilimency and Veritaserum. Those who can pass the test will continue to serve, while those who cannot pass the test will be imprisoned.

Less than half of the strikers immediately applied for pardon. Many of them had guilty consciences and did not want to throw themselves into the trap, and some naturally did not want to be involved again before Voldemort was eliminated and the war was completely over. Although the Ministry of Magic has been occupied, there are still many Death Eaters remnants throughout Britain - they may have escaped from the battlefield of Hogwarts. Or he was unable to participate in the war because the Floo Network was destroyed...

Now they need a new Minister of Magic. Rufus Scrimgeour was the unquestioned first choice, but he is lying in the intensive care unit of St. Mungo's with several powerful curses on him. The magic circulation in the body is now in chaos, and it will take a long time to recover.

Therefore, Lockhart was once again pushed to the top and was elected Minister of Magic.

This was an accident. The position Lockhart originally wanted was the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. The Wizengamot usually appeared in wizards' vision, and it must be because of a trial. But its other important identity is the legislative body of the wizarding world. Controlling it will make it easier to modify and formulate new wizarding laws in the direction envisioned by Lockhart and the Order of the Phoenix or in their favor.

It is very common for the Minister of Magic to serve as a member of the Wizengamot, because there are too few wizards, and there are no clear boundaries between many departments. It is nominally a rule of law but most of the time it is still ruled by men.

But there has never been a precedent in history for a wizard to serve as the Minister of Magic and the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot at the same time, because in this way the administration and legislation are in the hands of the same person. But in this chaotic era, an appointment that goes against common sense,

Completely submerged in the huge amount of news, it cannot attract any special attention.

On May 2, 1998, the famous wizard Gilderoy Lockhart was elected as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. At the same time, as the temporary Minister of Magic, former Auror Martin served as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Not only were the top leaders of the three institutions of executive, judicial, and legislative re-appointed, but the entire management system of the British wizarding world was also undergoing a major reshuffle:

The Wizengamot replaced half of its members, with the exception of those who had not compromised with the Death Eaters before and were retained and reinstated. The British Wizarding Court welcomed its first non-wizard member from Britain's Muggle Prime Minister, its first Muggle-born member from MI5, and even its first non-human member from a centaur - although Loha Te was kind enough to give them a seat, but the centaurs refused to come to the meeting at first. Finally, after discussion, Firenze, who liked humans, was sent over.

The new wizarding law was quickly formed and improved amidst wrangling and debate, and Lockhart was not involved. He had already told all those involved in the formulation of his ideas and requirements. If he is not satisfied with the final version, he can veto it or propose amendments.

The clerks responsible for daily management have not changed much. They are only responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the wizarding world. Even if the Death Eaters come to power, they will not get any opportunities to do evil.

But all middle and high-level officials, no matter what department, even those who manage health, food and accommodation, hardly go through any assessment or qualification certification, but are directly selected from reliable people. Many Order of the Phoenix and Aurors hold multiple positions: Lockhart will not be mentioned. In addition to being the director of the Enforcement Department, Martin is also the head of the Aurors; Arthur Weasley continues to serve as the director of the Department for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. In addition to being in charge, he also serves as the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters... It can be said that Aurors and members of the Order of the Phoenix hold all key positions in the Executive Department, Transportation Department and Communication and Cooperation Department,

The biggest disadvantage of doing this is that not everyone is qualified. To compensate, each official has the right to recommend candidates he believes are both reliable and more suitable for the position than himself. This embarrassing situation will continue to get better, but it may not be completely back to normal until a year or two.

The manpower shortage is so serious - these people are usually officials of the Ministry of Magic. Once a battle breaks out, they pull out their wands and transform into Aurors again. If Aurors can be considered a position, there are already people who hold three positions at the same time!

Large-scale recruitment of Aurors and strikers has also begun. Lockhart has used all the galleons he had in Gringotts to temporarily fund the repair and operation of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. He once thought he was rich, but now he spent it to support the operation of the entire Ministry of Magic, only to find that it was completely insufficient.

"When I was in my twenties, I naively believed that money was the most important thing in the world." Lockhart said with a wry smile, "I realize now that it is indeed the case. I'm so sorry, Sirius. It forces you to sell your ancestors' things. After the new wizarding laws are promulgated and the Muggle government provides operating funds to the Ministry of Magic, it will be repaid to you."

"It's no use keeping it -" Sirius said with a careless smile like a prodigal, "The most unpleasant thing is that the only people who can afford the things I bring out are the Death Eaters, but they are all hiding now I didn’t dare to come out, so I had to sell it cheaply.”

"Sigh... Maybe we can consider getting some non-magical treasures to sell in the Muggle world." Lockhart shook his head. "Are Rufus and Fleur awake? How are they recovering?"

"Fleur is awake, but she has to rest for a while. Rufus has just escaped from danger..." Arthur said, "Forget it, you almost cheated my daughter away, why do you care about my daughter-in-law now, your own wife?" He hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet.”

"Hermione is fine, she can go back to school in two days," Lockhart explained. Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley was not here, and Arthur was quite talkative after hearing his explanation about aphrodisiacs. "Speaking of school, it's the wizarding exam season again. Not only must we restore order in the wizarding world, we must also hunt down Death Eaters and prevent mysterious people from counterattacking. We can't even delay the children's exams..."

Every official who takes office has to wipe his predecessor's butt. This is a normal and even customary phenomenon in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds - but what Lockhart has to do now is completely beyond the scope of wiping his butt: What he faced was a mountain of excrement. The shortcomings of the system had been accumulated for hundreds of years. With the outbreak of this civil war, even a major blood change could not completely solve it... there were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with immediately, even if Having a team to assist him also makes him, who is not good at management, so busy that he has everything to do every day.
