The photos taken of Mr. Malfoy in cross-dressing when he was arrested were published on the front pages of countless unscrupulous newspapers, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire British wizarding community and had a huge impact on the outlook of "simple" British wizards.
, and as Kingsley expected, it successfully diluted the sad atmosphere after the war, and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Kingsley's approach was undoubtedly quite successful. While he successfully captured Draco Malfoy, a remnant of Voldemort, he also roasted the Parkinson family on the fire as a warning to other pure-blood families not to do stupid things.
After all, Kingsley had the final say in the subsequent investigation of the Parkinson family.
The result could be that the Parkinson's family was unaware of Mr. Malfoy's disguise, or it could be that the Parkinson's family was secretly helping Voldemort's remnants avoid being hunted by the Ministry of Magic.
This blow directly silenced the restless pure-blood families. No one dared to openly stand up against the drastic plan. Kingsley was surprised that everything went smoothly.
Of course, Kingsley never forgot Albert's advice, and he did not dare to forget the bomb that had not been completely defused. Fortunately, the arrest of Draco Malfoy allowed the acting minister to be recognized by countless people, and also made him
Kingsley, who appeared at the Hogwarts memorial service, became a source of support for the victims.
In the frenzied snaps of countless reporters, the moment Kingsley left the memorial pillar by the Black Lake in Hogwarts was frozen in the photo.
The heroic deeds of people who rose up against Voldemort will be passed down along with the memorial pillar and the writings on it.
"I think this method is quite good."
Cedric and Albert stood by the Black Lake, looking at the girls who were bringing flowers to the monument, and said softly: "We are all a group of heroes fighting for peace, and this period of history should not be forgotten by future generations.
"
"It should not be forgotten immediately." Albert knew very well that this kind of thing was inevitable, and it would only take a few years for it to be forgotten by people.
Cedric suddenly fell silent. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew that Albert was right.
In a few years, British wizards may have forgotten this period of history.
Although everyone should have moved on, it is indeed a helpless and sad thing.
"At least "Hogwarts: A School History" will definitely record this war and remember that there was a group of brave and fearless heroes who rose up against Voldemort for the sake of peace in the wizarding world."
"Is that why you want to build that village?" Cedric suddenly understood Albert's special intention.
If they build a village of their own on the ruins of the former Defense Association headquarters and build a commemorative statue in the square garden, the people who have settled there for a long time will not easily forget this heavy history, let alone forget it easily.
colleagues who died in this war.
Looking at Cedric who seemed to have misunderstood something, Albert hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not break his illusion.
"I heard that you and Qiu are getting married?"
Fred appeared out of nowhere, put his arms around Cedric's neck intimately, and waved to the girl coming over.
George, who came with Fred, was caught off guard and was fed a bitch, because Fred will be engaged to Angelina in the near future, and the families of both parties have met not long ago.
"We plan to hold the wedding there after the village is completed." Cedric also smiled and waved to the girls, "It shouldn't take long. I heard that Albert convinced Kingsley that the Ministry of Magic will be there.
Provide assistance in the construction of the village.”
"how did you do that."
Fred and George were shocked, and both looked at Albert, shocked that Albert could actually allow Kingsley to favor his own interests.
"It's just a private transaction. Everyone gets what they want." Albert briefly explained the transaction between the two parties.
"That one hundred thousand galleons, don't you feel any pain at all?"
Kenneth's face trembled slightly, shocked that Albert could throw away the one hundred thousand galleons that should have been stuffed into his pocket so lightly.
That was Galleons that countless people could never earn in their lifetimes, and now they were thrown away by such a wasteful person.
Although Kenneth was also a beneficiary, he still couldn't accept it.
"I don't regret it." Albert shook his head and said, "I never thought that the galleons belonged to me, and I never thought that Voldemort was killed by me alone. This bounty money belonged to the group of people who fought bravely.
I won't keep it as my own."
Albert's noble character awes everyone. Although Kenneth still feels that it is really stupid, he also admires the choice Albert made, because he certainly can't do that and won't do that.
.
Of course, they didn't know that Albert had other reasons for doing that,
If Albert didn't do that, he probably wouldn't be able to get the Galleons from the Ministry of Magic. There is no point in holding on to the Galleons that he can't get. On the contrary, it will make people think you are very ugly.
greedy.
Yes, it sounds sarcastic, but that's it.
Therefore, instead of getting nothing, it is better to directly exchange for benefits that can be obtained. With the help of the Ministry of Magic, the obstacles to building a new wizard village will be swept away.
What's more, Albert is not a person who likes to suffer losses.
Kingsley has also promised to help him negotiate to get back Voldemort's part of the bounty abroad. Although it is not as high as 100,000 Galleons, it is still a considerable bounty. Just relying on Albert's own words, if he wants to get that
Posting a bounty is probably not an easy task, but leaving it to Kingsley can save a lot of trouble.
Listening to Albert talking about the other two reasons for directly donating this large sum of galleons, everyone couldn't help but feel booed, and they could better understand why Albert did it without hesitation.
"With the finances of the Ministry of Magic, we probably won't be able to come up with this Galleons." Cedric couldn't help but sigh at the power of Albert's move, "After you directly donated one hundred thousand Galleons, not only did you get money
Sly's reputation has greatly increased, and he must cooperate with you to slowly spit out the Galleons."
"This is probably the best solution."
"If you ask me, they have to award you one more Order of Merlin. I think you will probably become the wizard who has won the most Orders of Merlin in history." Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain.
"I have always felt that the Ministry of Magic's bounty was a joke. They only used the bounty to deter criminals and obtain relevant clues, but they never intended to pay the expensive bounty."
"Even if you want to give this bounty, you have to have the money from the Ministry of Magic. Usually, the Ministry of Magic actually gives this Galleons for a very good reason, and the bounty is usually not so exaggerated." Percy didn't know where he came from.
came out, "But those moths wiped out all the Galleons in the Ministry of Magic during Voldemort's rule. It is impossible for Kingsley to give such a large sum of Galleons to Albert in a short period of time."
"Isn't this Percy?"
Fred and George exchanged glances and smiled as they faced their older brother.
"I heard from Sirius that Kingsley gave you a promotion?" Fred reached out and patted Percy's shoulder hard.
"I heard that he is now the senior assistant to the Minister of Magic." George echoed in unison.
"I remember he was appointed as a senior assistant during Pierce Thicknesse's time," Fred corrected.
"Shut up, you two, don't disturb me from doing my business." Percy broke free from the twins' hands on his shoulders and glared at the bastards who were causing trouble for him.
"What else can you do?"
Despite what they said, Fred and George did not continue to make Percy angry, but were curious about what he was up to.
After getting rid of Fred and George, Percy turned his attention to Cedric and said the purpose of coming here: "Mr. Diggory, are you willing to serve at Hogwarts for a period of time?"
"What do you mean, minister?"
Cedric looked stunned, obviously not expecting Percy to come to him for this matter.
"Yes, the minister believes that after that war, Hogwarts may be unstable, and the Ministry of Magic needs to make a statement to reassure the families and students." Percy's acting like a Ministry of Magic official made everyone around him laugh.
.
"Of course, the other reason is to stay at Hogwarts and act as a liaison so that problems can be solved as soon as possible."
"There shouldn't be any vacant positions to be hired at Hogwarts, right?" Cedric asked doubtfully.
"As an assistant teacher in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"But isn't Albert planning to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?" Cedric looked at Albert in confusion.
"I'm actually not interested in becoming a professor at Hogwarts, at least not now, so I will only teach the sixth and seventh grade students in the Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the next year, so that I only have to attend class one week.
A few classes." Albert shrugged and said, "The reason why I was asked to serve in the school is actually to use my reputation to stabilize Hogwarts."
"you……"
"The minister said that your position will be temporarily listed in the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, and your salary will be based on the Auror level. You will be regarded as an Auror temporarily stationed at Hogwarts in the Ministry of Magic. You can continue to return to the Ministry of Magic to continue your work after you take up a position here.
Position." Percy winked at Cedric and said, "Even if you don't want to continue working in the Auror office, the minister can change you to a satisfactory position when the time comes."
"I seem to have no other choice." Cedric looked at Albert, probably guessing the reason why Kingsley asked him to serve as an assistant coach.
"Don't spread this matter around. Many people are envious of it." Percy patted Cedric on the shoulder, then turned his gaze back to Albert and said, "Don't miss the celebration banquet tonight, and they are also there.
You will probably be assigned to sit in the teacher's seat."
"Should we call you Professor Anderson now?" Fred and George were really curious about how many py transactions were made between Albert and Kingsley.
