The turmoil caused by Fudge's proposal was finally suppressed after a period of time, but it also made the melon-eating masses in the wizarding world watch a good scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, not everyone's attention is on this frivolous political struggle. At least for Sirius, who had just been released from prison and was almost overwhelmed by the tedious family affairs, he didn't have the energy to focus on anything else.

Unlike the situation in the original book when he hid in Tibet after being released from prison, the current Sirius, because he was released by the Ministry of Magic in the open, so he legally inherited the old mansion of the Black family not long after he was released from prison, and officially succeeded to the position of the head of the Black family.

In fact, seriously speaking, Sirius, who had been expelled from the family, is not qualified to inherit the Black family, but who let the direct bloodline of the Black family who is still alive now, he is the only one left.

Old Lady Black, who had been told the news about Regulus in dialect, had to pinch her nose and admit the position of the head of the family, even if she didn't like Sirius, the "rebel".

Although Sirius himself was unimpressed by the position of the head of the family, after learning of Regulus's deeds as well, he eventually took on the responsibility in silence.

Ten years of loneliness still played a role in tempering this former prodigal son after all.

The Ministry of Magic also seems to want to eliminate the impact of the Sirius incident as soon as possible, and after learning that Sirius has become the head of the Black family, they are also very interested in returning some of the Black family's property that was confiscated by the Ministry of Magic to Sirius.

As for the other part of the Black family's property that fell into the hands of Narcissa Malfoy, it has long been digested by the Malfoy family, and it can no longer be returned to the Black family.

Sirius didn't care much about that, Narcissa Malfoy was his cousin after all, and she had the blood of the Black family in her veins, and it was nothing to inherit some of the Black family's inheritance. Just thinking about how cheap Malfoy ended up all these things made him feel awkward.

However, it was only at this time that Sirius really understood how huge the inheritance of his family was. The scale of the industries that had been returned by the Ministry of Magic alone was far beyond his imagination.

Sirius made a little count and found that the property owned by the Black family now, in addition to the old Black mansion where he lived, also had a shop in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, as well as more than a dozen potions cultivation bases and Warcraft farms in France and Australia, which were either wholly owned by the Black family or co-founded by others.

However, the two shops in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade have long since ceased to operate themselves because of the decline of the Black family, but have been rented out on an annual basis, and they can recover a lot of rent every year, which adds up to a very considerable amount of money over the years.

And the dozen or so planting bases and farms, some of which have closed down due to poor management, leaving only the abandoned land there, and some of them are because of the potions or monsters they planted, which have become more prosperous because of the shortage of the market in recent years.

On average, it barely maintains a balance.

In addition to these businesses, the Black family also owns a variety of shares in many companies in the wizarding world, such as the Broomstick Company, the Potions Company, and other companies.

Although the dividends brought by these shares are not as much as the wealth earned by those industries for the Black family, they can spread the influence of the Black family to all aspects of the wizarding world, and the resulting network benefits are extremely considerable.

The staff who run these industries are basically specially trained by the Black family back then, and they basically sign magical contracts with a service time of more than decades.

So even if no one from the Black family has come out to preside over the past ten years, these people still have to serve the Black family's industry conscientiously.

Ten years is not a short time, but thanks to the wizard's average age far beyond ordinary people, and the magical contract rooted in the surname and blood of the Black family, no one can covet the benefits that belong to the Black family.

Even the Ministry of Magic, which manages these properties, can only collect taxes and escrow fees at a certain percentage every year, but it can't swallow the whole of these benefits.

Of course, although the power of the contract is magical, it still can't take care of all aspects, and in the case of no one to take charge of the accounts, it is certainly inevitable that the managers will be enriched, but the vast majority of the interests are still in the hands of the Black family, and now waiting for Sirius to inherit.

It's just that for Sirius, he'd rather go to the battlefield with a wand and fight the Death Eaters than sit in an office like this, dealing with papers that seem to never be finished.

So after holding out for less than a week, Sirius decided to pick a son, this kind of job is really not suitable for him to do.

In the past, when he was in school, Sirius was just a young master who reached out to ask the family for money whenever he was short of money to spend, and he never bothered about money. Even after breaking with the family, he did not have a hard life because of James Porter's help, so his concept of money can be said to be very vague, let alone dealing with these complex business affairs.

Fortunately, Sirius still has a good friend by his side, Remus Lupin has stayed in England since the last Order of the Phoenix meeting, and has not gone out to wander again, so when Sirius was released from prison, he and Dumbledore, McGonagall and others were generally the first wizards to visit.

The ten-year-long separation has not diluted the relationship between these two good friends, and because of the guilt in their hearts for different reasons, they cherish this reunion even more.

So unlike in the original book, this time Remus Lupin did not accept Dumbledore's invitation to go to Hogwarts as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, but was invited by Sirius to stay with him to help deal with the Black family's estate.

This was a better option for Remus Lupin.
