Chapter 1 Post-War Matters (1)

The sun rises over Hogwarts, and the Great Hall is filled with the light of life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info people express their emotions of mourning and celebration, sadness and joy, and Phoenix is an indispensable part of it - everyone wants Phoenix to be with them, he is their leader and symbol, their savior and guide.

After the smoke of war subsided, those who survived became heroes. The victims, remembered – not for long.

For him, there is still a lot to do. News came from all directions in the morning: the Imperius cursed people across the country were gradually returning to normal, and at the same time, the innocent prisoners of Azkaban had been released and the Dementors were back on duty. Seist, who had just arrived in London, became minister, and Perth Greengrass took over as chief magician of the Wizengamot in England. A volunteer Auror from Europe is helping the Ministry of Magic restore order and temporarily take charge of the British wizarding community.

They did not move Voldemort's body, as Phoenix had requested. When Phoenix walked out, the Malfoys were standing next to their former master.

A man was tied with a silver rope and escorted to the resistance. Lucius recognized him, his former colleague. Just as he was considering whether or not to intercede for his old friend, Phoenix spoke.

"Thank you for your unwavering support over the years. We thank you," Phoenix wiped the fingerprints and dust off his wand and handed it to the witch who had been loosened. "Selwyn. ”

"My pleasure. He took his wand and bowed.

Phoenix beckoned, and the men behind escorted Melinda's cousin, John Bobyn, rudely to him. John shuddered, hung his head and muttered something quietly.

"No, please—" Melinda came out of nowhere—a white bolt of lightning struck her, and the wand landed in Phoenix's hand. Several tall European volunteer Aurors trapped her with ropes and threw them next to John.

"Please—for the sake of the past—don't kill John, please—I can do anything—" Melinda cried, and John seemed to lose his sense of the outside world, and his words became more hurried as he remained motionless.

"Quiet!" the man behind her cast a silent spell on her.

"Looks like you're well-informed. Phoenix looked at her with an expressionless face, "I must be tired of rushing back from the United States, there is still a lot of work after the war, so I won't talk about it." ”

She shook her head desperately, and Draco turned his head away.

"I gave you, and your family, a chance. But your brother and father are still on the opposite side of me. Melinda's wand fluttered and swirled around his fingertips. "But I can give you one more chance—"

Melinda nodded desperately, afraid of missing out on this hard-earned opportunity.

"Take it, kill this Death Eater. I know it makes you miserable, but people always grow in pain. Only those who have tasted pain know how to be gentle with others, so that people can be truly mature and understand the price behind their choices. Phoenix pointed the handle of her wand at her and handed it to Melinda. She shook her head desperately, and kept backing away.

"I told you, don't regret choosing your own path. I never accept a bet after the game—"

Phoenix sighed, seeing that she was still shaking her head and tearfully watering, and said, "For the sake of our old friendship, I'll give you this chance—since you'd rather the last name disappear—"

He waved his hand, and the Aurors escorted them down.

"I do what I say. Phoenix pulled out the edict he had just received, "Your family's pardon, and of course, you have an obligation to testify and assist in the Wizengamot trial while the Death Eaters are on trial. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Watson Jr. appeared behind Phoenix with the news.

"They're waiting for you. ”

"I lost my company first. Phoenix directly apparantized away, and the rising flames startled Lucius.

The war is over, but a lot has just begun. Britain was to rejoin the European Gringotts system, and their economy had to be rebuilt. As rulers in a way, their priority was to restore agriculture.

In general, there are quite a few farmsteads in each wizarding region. But a few years ago, at the final of the Quidditch World Cup, the largest farm in England, Agatha Tims Jr.'s Eel Farm, lost all of his bet on Bagman. The collapse of the country's largest farm, which has left Britain dependent on imports. The Ministry of Magic has tried several times to support some farms.

However, the results were not ideal, and wizards did not like to grow crops or raise livestock. Think it's a lowly job and it doesn't pay well – that's the point. Later, the complete lockdown of Britain made matters worse, and some wizards had to go to Muggle supermarkets to steal.

Farming is very hard, you need to carefully cast a swelling spell on each crop, regularly record, observe, and eliminate pests. The benefit is stability, and unless you gamble like Agatha Tims Jr., you will never go bankrupt.

Peverell has always borne the lion's share of the food supply in Europe and the United States, and they have plenty of house-elves. No rest, no pay, no complaints. They don't usually produce more than that, and now they need to urgently plant a grain crop - because Phoenix forgot about it, and no one reminded him.

It wasn't a hassle, as long as he wrote an order for the house-elves to pour some oxytoxins on the crops.

Phoenix sat in the minister's office at the British Ministry of Magic, borrowing Seist's desk, and he himself went to the Muggle Prime Minister to inform him of the victory in the war, and the government could move back to London at a later date. The parchment that issued the order was constantly being taken away by the waiting owl. It's good to say that it belongs to the farm, which belongs to the family. Lifting the lockdown of the UK by the International Federation of Wizards requires going through an official process.

He signed and said, "It's all counted?"

"Yes, we at Gringotts have frozen their property. Capet said excitedly, "The goblins from the headquarters are taking over." ”

"Very well, the proceeds of this operation, I'll talk to you later. Without looking up, Phoenix told Mercedes that he was looking at Hogwarts' financial statements, and that now only Greengrass and Phoenix were left on the board, "and the rest - see how much of the arrears can be offset." ”

"The board also needs additional staff. Perth said.

"yes, bring Selwin and Capella in first. He tossed the statement aside and said to Capet, "I have been in arrears since 470 years ago, and now even the interest is astronomical." You didn't do anything?"

"Ah, that's right. Capet could see that Phoenix was unhappy, and said in a low voice, "You see, the boards of magical schools in other regions are far larger than in England, and we have calculated that Britain alone cannot afford Hogwarts, and no matter how hard we try, the arrears will definitely increase." ”

The biggest expenses in schools are potions classes, herb classes, and libraries.
