Chapter 675 3 parties
The news in the next few days was almost entirely occupied by the Harris family. In addition to the fact that the mysterious man returned and was beaten away by Alan Harris, which was discussed with great excitement, all the media also reported another thing almost at the same time: Irving Harris succeeds Cornelius Fudge and becomes the 1707rd Minister of Magic since the British Ministry of Magic was founded in .
"Owen Harris, the former Deputy Minister of Magic, succeeds Cornelius Fudge as Minister of Magic. This appointment..." On Wizarding TV, the female host Fleur Delacour, who has the blood of this French enchantress, seemed very happy.
Mr. Owen Harris sat behind his desk and waved to the camera. He was amiable yet authoritative. He looked very mature and steady. He also broadcast a very strong inauguration declaration, but the wizards believed that the pressure on him should not be as high as the first. The former Minister for Magic, Ulric Gamp, was much younger.
First Minister Yurik Gamp had his work cut out for him in adapting a restless and frightened society to the enforcement of international secrecy laws. His greatest achievements were the founding of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the chartering of the Leaky Cauldron, which continues to operate as a safe haven and refuge for members of the wizarding community. Out of gratitude, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron created a new beer brand, Gamp's Aged Social. liquor. The drink was so unpalatable that no one could drink a pint, even with a reward of 100 galleons.
The thirty-third Minister of Magic, Owen Harris, has to face the re-emergence of the Dark Lord who cannot even be named, his Death Eaters, and the possible Second Wizarding War.
The wizards were not surprised by this result. The rapid rise of the Harris family in strength and prestige in the UK, which was originally quite a backwater, was obvious to all in recent years. The whole year was almost spent on framing Dumbledore and Dumbledore. It is not surprising that Cornelius Fudge, who tried to tell all wizards that "all is well", was replaced. At the moment when the mysterious man returned, Fudge, who had been proven stupid and weak, was replaced by a powerful one who had always strived to reform. Luo, who looks more reliable and tough than Owen Harris, this result is great news for the fearful British wizards.
Now many optimistic wizards have calmed down after thinking about the horror caused by the First Wizarding War, and found that they have the world's greatest white wizard Albus Dumbledore, the new Minister of Magic. The son is obviously not only the best Quidditch seeker in the world or the Triwizard Tournament champion. The clipped video of Alan's duel with the mysterious man and driving him away has made many people aware of his strength and success. The wizards who had been preparing to flee Britain as soon as they learned of the Dark Lord's return changed their minds.
What gave people more confidence was that in the video of the follow-up report, everyone saw with their own eyes on TV that Alan Harris was inserted into the arch curtain that had been used to execute mortals, and came out alive. . Although this has caused some supposedly irreversible effects on the savior's appearance, making him look somewhat anti-heroic, the meaning behind the accident of entering the Veil and returning alive is extraordinary.
Compared to the black-haired, green-eyed boy who was said to have no outstanding achievements or strength and was only said to have survived the Avatar's Great Melon Gnawing Curse, the Alan Harris in front of him, whose deeds had been seen with his own eyes, was obviously more powerful. Fitting the wizards' definition of a savior and the Boy-Who-Lived.
Moreover, Alan Harris is also a young wizard born with pure blood. Even if he is not from a real native family in the UK, this makes him better than being classified as a mixed race because his mother is the Muggle-born wizard Lily Evans. Harry Potter has become more accessible to more wizards.
As for Albus Dumbledore, who has been reinstated as a member of the International Confederation of Wizards and the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Harris TV and the media controlled by the Harris family have only done this. A very small report, except that the Daily Prophet, which has completely lost its credibility due to its continuous slander of Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter throughout the last year, tried to make some struggles to report some of their positive news. Some foreign newspapers and tabloids with little influence in the UK mentioned Dumbledore's name. Without knowing the facts, they were blindly optimistic and believed that Britain had a new savior, Alan Harris, and the greatest white wizard Dumbledore. The mysterious man will definitely be driven out and defeated quickly.
Just like Owen Harris's inauguration declaration, the original patrol Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have tightened their vigilance. Even the armed Aurors who did not participate in patrol tasks before began to take to the streets, constantly publicly stating that they would help wizards avoid being eaten. The threat of the Dead Apostles, protecting their families and homes from attacks, actually arresting some dark wizards in Diagon Alley, banning some gray industries, and even according to hearsay, many people even saw armed Aurors and patrolling Aurors There was also some minor friction between them due to the issue of warning areas.
The entire Ministry of Magic opened its fangs under Owen's command. The appearance of the Aurors in full gear made many pure-blood family wizards whose strength in the Ministry of Magic was affected by this change increase their vigilance and secretly fear them. However, they have not commented on this somewhat aggressive behavior yet. They are just constantly trying to regain some good relations with the new owner of the Ministry of Magic. The pressure brought by the return of the mysterious man, Harris's current strength, and The long-term secret confrontation with the white wizard Dumbledore makes these pure-blood families temporarily unable to decide the future direction of their respective families.
However, the professional inspections of armed Aurors also gave wizards a sense of security, and they were more trusting and satisfied with this generation of officials from the Ministry of Magic. At least those stationed in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village could see it. The tangible armed forces of wizards make trade and business in these areas normal.
The Ministry of Magic's further follow-up actions satisfied more people. In addition to detailed manuals on precautions and handling methods, the Ministry of Magic also provided wizards with a large number of badges similar to those used for Auror contact for free.
The badges are sponsored by a donation from the Umbrella Corporation, a company owned by the Harris family, and feature the company's red and white umbrella logo. This kind of badge is a civilian version of the badge with simplified functions. It only has the function of contacting the Ministry of Magic and allowing the Ministry of Magic to locate the badge. It cannot locate Aurors or other civilian version badge users.
Badges are distributed free of charge, but are not compulsory to receive. After all, it involves personal privacy, and are voluntarily received by ordinary wizards. Because of the mysterious man's style, Muggles and mixed-blood wizards received the badges almost immediately, while some and mysterious people received the badges almost immediately. Pure-blood families that people have never dealt with, such as the Bones family, which supported the Order of the Phoenix in the First Wizarding War and was almost destroyed, and the Longbottom family, which is directly a member of the Order of the Phoenix, also received it for their family members. One piece.
Currently, the Ministry of Magic led by Owen Harris is spending all its energy on controlling the Ministry of Magic and preparing for the arrival of the second war. The newly appointed Minister of Magic, Owen Harris, appears to be full of energy. He is indeed very capable. Motivation, the entire Harris family has benefited from this incident.
Nominated by Owen, who was the Minister of Magic, Fudge's compromise and contacts helped to use his contacts to convince the Wizengamot. Allen is now a member of the International Confederation of Wizards, and became the British branch of the International Confederation of Wizards with the acceptance of the Minister of Magic. representative.
The International Confederation of Wizards is an intergovernmental organization in the wizarding world, roughly equivalent to the United Nations in the Muggle world. After the mysterious man was resurrected last year, the British Ministry of Magic did not recognize this fact, which led to Dumbledore's Association. He was removed from the position of president and member of the Federation, and now his membership of the International Confederation of Wizards has been restored, but he has not returned to become the representative of the British branch and the president of the Federation, the African wizard Babajide Akin Bard had already succeeded Dumbledore as the new president of the International Confederation of Wizards.
After joining the International Federation of Wizards, Owen, Lunn, and Allen naturally became members of the Wizengamot, the highest court in the wizarding world. Because of the former senior member of the Wizengamot, Gsildamar Qiban and Tiberus Ogden resigned last year in protest against Fudge's appointment of senior investigator Umbridge to intervene in Hogwarts. Fudge lost his status due to his mistakes on the You-Know-Who and has reported to Harris. The members of the Wizengamot who had sold well simply absorbed the Harris father and son into the group without engaging in useless confrontation. Purple robes with a delicate silver W embroidered on the left chest had been handed out to them. .
The entire Ministry of Magic has undergone a major shake-up, with a huge range of job changes. The members who were brought from Germany to belong to the Harris family and the wizards who were closer to the Harris family in the UK were given important positions, while those important seats that originally belonged to the Fudge faction were vacated and their official posts were directly demoted without any background. Although some of them had strong family backgrounds and it was not convenient for them to be demoted directly, they were promoted to less important positions by means of overt promotion and covert demotion.
Len Harris successfully became a full-time official and successfully became the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. The father of Victor, one of the members of the Umbrella Team, happens to be Mr. John Bartha, Owen Harris's staff. He originally only had a name in the Ministry of Magic, but he suddenly became the Director of the Magical Accidents and Disasters Department of the Ministry of Magic.
Although they were caught off guard after the mysterious man incident, the pure-blood families in the UK were unable to react much in a short period of time and allowed the Harris family to take control of the Ministry of Magic. However, they already understood the importance of force and spent a lot of time With a lot of effort, Rufus Scrimgeour surrendered to them and retained his position as head of the Auror Office without allowing him to undergo a so-called promotion and transfer. This was also the patrol Auror under Rufus Scrimgeour. The main reason for the friction with Albert's armed Aurors.
In addition to the mysterious man and his Death Eaters, the entire British wizarding world has basically formed three forces on the side of "justice".
The first force is Albus Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard in the world, and the Order of the Phoenix behind him. With their participation in the First Wizarding War and the reputation accumulated in previous years, they are undoubtedly quite famous in the minds of ordinary wizards. Many wizards are blindly optimistic that the cooperation between Dumbledore and the new Ministry of Magic will quickly defeat the mysterious man in this rebellion.
The second force is unintentionally the emerging Harris family. With their control of the Ministry of Magic, coupled with the financial and technical support of the Aurors and the Umbrella Corporation, as well as the support of the new savior Alan Harris, Their existence has undoubtedly made the Harris family the strongest in terms of strength and financial resources. Coupled with their control over the laws and public opinion in the British wizarding world, no one dares to resist them, at least openly.
The third force is Rufus Scrimgeour and the patrolling Aurors he controls, as well as the traditional pure-blood families in Britain he represents behind him. But those patrolling Aurors obeyed Scrimgeour's arrangements more because of his position, rather than being imprinted with the Harris family like the armed Aurors, which made these contradictory forces temporarily forced to The people in power of the pure-blood families who are tied together are quite helpless. They who are the weakest need to unite with one party to maintain their dignity and status.
However, Rufus Scrimgeour and Dumbledore have often disagreed with each other for many years, and because he agreed with the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts and agreed to protect Muggles, the pure-blood family did not like it. I have adopted a certain confrontational attitude with the white wizard for a long time. In fact, if the Harris family was not a bit aggressive, these pure-blood families would not have formed their own line in the face of the crisis, but had already joined the Harris family. chariot.
The mysterious man has not entered the selection of these pure-blood families now. The man whose name cannot be named is too crazy, and he does not have a clear reform concept like the first-generation devil Grindelwald. Except for some pure-blood families, The slogan of supremacy is more pleasant, but its behavior is too crazy and unpredictable, giving people the impression that it is just a dark wizard organization established by some mentally ill and criminal elements.
In the current situation with both the White Wizard and the new savior, these pure-blood families don't see the possibility of the mysterious man winning.
It's just that Harris's tough attitude, the conflicting relationship between Dumbledore's forces, and the pressure brought by the mysterious man mean that these pure-blood families can only barely protect themselves. They can only wait and see and test without making a choice.
