The Ministry of Magic was a little slow to react, but it was quick to act.

The day after the Daily Prophet reported on Lucius' donation to St. Mungo, Minister for Magic Millicent. Bagno made headlines in the Daily Prophet, praising this contribution to society and ordinary wizards, and then emphasizing that the Ministry of Magic would provide jobs and other benefits for family members who died in the black-and-white confrontation.

On top of that, the second edition published the Ministry of Magic's investigation into rising prices, and the Ministry of Magic specifically pointed out that some black-hearted wizards deliberately raised prices for improper benefits, and in the process, the Ministry of Magic was completely described as a scapegoat, and who those black-hearted wizards were, this is up to the majority of wizards to guess with their butts.

And is there actually a survey? Definitely not, such a little time, is not enough to run back and forth a few times, and a large article written in the newspaper with nose and eyes is obviously not something that can be done by a temporary investigation.

However, it was obvious that Minister Bagnor did not dare to really turn his face with the pure-blood nobles, and the two sides could only show their muscles to each other.

The pure-blood nobles need to make ordinary wizards forget the darkness they once bringed, and they also hope that the Ministry of Magic will recognize the power of purebloods, even if it is a skinny camel, it is bigger than a horse, right?

In the wizarding world, simply pretending to be weak will not get sympathy, if you don't do this, maybe Bagnor will eat the purebloods as cakes, and the others will only say that they deserve it, how can it be like now, both sides will collect their own troops, and Bagnor can only spit out what he ate before.

And the piece that was spit out happened to fall into Lucius's hands.

Malfoy never disliked Kinggalleon, so Lucius ate heartily and was happy.

And Lucius dug more than this corner, and the Malfoy family has always been short of money or something, so digging people makes Lucius even more interested.

Especially some people who originally belonged to Barty Crouch's forces, many of them were not very happy with Bagno, and some were born in other pure-blood families, or from Slytherin, these people became the targets of Lucius's efforts to woo, not to mention, after Lucius showed his muscles and showed a certain sincerity, he really won over some.

And the hardest digging at the foot of the wall is the old fox Dumbledore.

Don't look at him all the time he stayed in school and didn't go out much, but the changes in the wizarding world can't escape his eyes, and his vision still has some eyes, so Dumbledore dug Cornelius very smoothly. Fudge, that's right, the same Fudge who will be the minister, and now he's just a deputy minister, and he was a transparent deputy minister before.

But now he is no longer transparent, and with Dumbledore's support, Fudge has managed to take over part of the jurisdiction of the Aurors' office, which can be regarded as a part of the armed forces.

Force is a symbol of strength everywhere, and the reason why Barty Crouch's power was able to surpass Minister Bagnor was not because he had an Auror in his hand?!

And Fudge also took down several departments that were not so important by the way, such as Mr. Weasley's Division for the Prohibition of Muggle Misuse, and Barty Crouch's transfer to the Department of International Wizarding Cooperation, plus the Division he already held, he suddenly rose.

Although Fudge's power is still weaker than that of Bagno, he can already contain Minister Bagno in the Ministry of Magic, which is very much in line with Dumbledore's usual style.

Hold each other down, and then form a balance.

And the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association also disappeared again after showing its side, but this side is still valuable, at least it shows that this salted fish organization is not really a salted fish, and it can still turn over when necessary, so Severus decided to thank President Askele in person when he has time.

As for Severus, he got the title of Potions Master in the shadow of everyone's swords, and the Ministry of Magic only gave a cat's tail long announcement in the far corner, not only did he not even have a picture, but the small words may have to be seen with a magnifying glass.

However, there are still many people who know, after all, it is the cause of the incident, and he is still the youngest Potions Master so far, this title is still very remarkable, as for the Knight of Merlin, don't think about it, the Ministry of Magic has forgotten about it.

Of course, Severus wasn't idle all the time.

After returning from Wales for so long, our great wizard Merlin has finally managed to condense a trace of magic from the lake of fairies, which means that Severus's wand can solve it.

So, a few days earlier, Severus had arrived at Ollivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley to complete his wand with Ollivander.

With Ollivander here, you have to rest assured after all.

And as a result, the new wand is still the same length, but the material has been changed to apple wood, probably because it is fused with Avalon, and the core of the wand is also a filament condensed with pure magic.

I don't feel much about it for the time being, according to Merlin's explanation, it needs to be constantly penetrated with the will, and the operation process looks like meditation, or is it similar to knife Zen?

But Severus prefers to think of it as a nourishing artifact, as if there is a saying in the underworld - to contain your spirit with my spirit!

It's a shame to feel like this, so let's do something that fits Severus's personality!

Because of the cooperation between Severus and Lucius, Lucius took out the newly acquired assets from the Ministry of Magic as a joint investment between the two, which means that Severus also became the boss.

However, Lucius did not give it away for nothing, the assets he took out were all related to potions, and there was a total of potions cultivation base - the herb garden of the original Prince family; A potions company - sabotaged by a dark wizard and about to go out of business; Finally, there is a shop in Diagon Alley, right next to Ollivanders, which looks like the one opened by the Weasley brothers in the original books, which is really good.

Because of this, Severus directly ordered a batch of materials from his own herb garden, which was supposed to generate income for himself, and it was also long-term, and Severus planned to set Hogwarts' potion materials from here.

If you add the consumption of your own potions company, it is estimated that the medicine garden will not need to be sold to the outside world at all, and it is good to produce and sell it yourself.

Then there is the problem of the Potions Company, Lucius and Severus are only behind the scenes, especially Severus, the employees in the company are only considered to be consultants hired by Lucius, and nothing else is known, which is also what Severus meant.

With Severus as a Potions Master on his back, the Potions Company could have come back to life.

And Lucius's purpose is no longer just to make money, he wants wizards in the wizarding world to experience Malfoy's generosity, so the price of potions is relatively low, and the price of potions sold to St. Mungo and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic is lower, which can also be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.

Of course, there are still profits.

With Severus' help, the new company was able to make potions at a lower cost than the others, and Severus would also make some high-grade potions to sell in the shop.

After all, the Potions Master's brand is still very fragrant!
