The Ministry of Magic-Hogwarts Flyway network was repaired in a hurry, but now the Order of the Phoenix or the Aurors must use it in the same way as the Chinese wizards before the Hidden Mission: turn off the energy supply when not in use, say hello when you use it, and then turn it on with energy......

The energy supply talents were immediately identified, and the Ministry of Magic was expanded and maintained day and night, and some were sent to Hogwarts, where they were to install an energy storage system for the school's castle that could easily charge magic.

Ministry of Magic, London. All employees were forbidden to leave, and everyone had to be examined by the Aurors for receptives and elixirs, and anyone who had participated in the Auror encirclement or had a strong affection for the Death Eater government was arrested and thrown into prison.

The entrances and exits of the Ministry of Magic have also been closed, because the Floo Network has failed, and it is hard to imagine how many people will be able to come to work the next day if these frightened employees are sent home......

――

The second thing the Aurors did after taking over the Ministry of Magic was to take control of newspapers and magazines and other media outlets, through which they used all the things that had happened in the past year: the Death Eaters attacked the Ministry of Magic, set traps and seriously injured Dumbledore, Snape and Dumbledore tried to gain the Dark Lord's trust, the Aurors fled and resisted but were slandered as a mutiny, Barty Jr. impersonated Lockhart to stabilize people's hearts, fought fiercely, and recaptured the Ministry of Magic after hardships...... and so on, and make changes in favor of yourself and notify wizards throughout the United Kingdom.

Immediately after announcing the fall of the Death Eater Ministry, the new Ministry of Magic informed wizards in all European countries to ensure that the Secrecy Law would still be respected. At the same time, all wizards are required to remain calm and restrained, stay in a safe place, do not go out at will, and wait for the Ministry of Magic to rebuild after the war and "clean up the remnants".

All the wizards involved in guarding Hogwarts live in the school's castle, and the wizards and Squibs who attack the Ministry of Magic are stationed in the Ministry of Magic. Before the Clean Death Eaters were exterminated. They won't go home again.

There was a complete shortage of manpower, and after discussion, they published a pardon in the new Daily Prophet, and as long as the strikers did not do anything unreasonable during the reign of the Death Eaters, they would be pardoned and continue to be hired by the new Ministry of Magic - the strikers who applied for the pardon were of course not exempt from a test of retribution and or elixir, and those who could pass the test would continue to serve, and those who could not be awaited imprisonment.

Less than half of the total number of strikers immediately applied for pardon, many of them were thieves who did not want to throw themselves into the net, and some naturally did not want to be involved again before Voldemort was eliminated and the war was completely over. Although the Ministry of Magic was occupied. But there are still many remnants of Death Eaters throughout Britain - who either escaped from the battlefields of Hogwarts or were unable to fight because Floo networks were destroyed......

Now they needed a new Minister of Magic, and Rufus Scrimgeour would have been the undisputed first choice, but he was lying in St. Mungo's intensive care ward, and with several powerful spells in his body, his mana circulation was in disarray, and it would take a long time to recover.

So, Lockhart was once again put on the shelves and was elected Minister of Magic.

It was an accident, Lockhart had wanted the position of Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, the Wizengamot. Usually appearing in the wizard's field of vision must be because of a trial. But its other important role is that of the legislature of the wizarding world, and controlling it makes it easier to make new wizarding laws change and enact in the direction that Lockhart and the Order of the Phoenix envision, or in their favor.

It was common for the Minister of Magic to serve as a member of the Wizengamot, as there were so few wizards. There are no clear boundaries between many departments, nominally the rule of law, but most of the time it is still the rule of man.

But there has never been a precedent in history for a wizard to serve as Minister of Magic and Chief Wizard of Wizengamot at the same time, because then the executive and the legislature are in the same hands. But in these chaotic times, an appointment that defies common sense. Completely drowned in the huge amount of news, it does not attract special attention in the slightest.

May 2, 1998, the famous wizard Gilderoy Lockhart. He was elected Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot and temporarily assumed the position of Minister of Magic, and the former Aurence Martin became the Director of the Law of Magic Enforcement.

Not only the top leaders of the executive, judicial, and legislative institutions have been reappointed, but the entire British wizarding management system has ushered in a major reshuffle:

The Wizengamot replaced half of its members, and in addition to the members who had not previously compromised with the Death Eaters were retained and reinstated, the British Wizarding Court welcomed the first non-wizard member sent by the British Muggle Prime Minister, the first Muggle-born wizard member from MI5, and even the first non-human member from the Centaurs - although Lockhart was kind enough to give them a seat, the Centaurs refused to come to the meeting at first, and finally after discussion, they sent Ferencze, who liked humans.

The new wizarding law was rapidly taking shape and perfecting in the midst of debate and controversy, and Lockhart was not involved, he had already told all those involved in his ideas and requests, and if he was not satisfied with the final version, he could veto it or propose a change.

The clerks in charge of day-to-day management have not been replaced, they are only responsible for keeping the wizarding world running, and even when the Death Eaters come to power, they have not been given any opportunity to do evil.

But all the middle and high-level officials, regardless of the department, even those who manage health and accommodation, have almost no assessment and certification, but are selected directly from reliable people. Many of the Order of the Phoenix and Aurors held multiple positions in one person: Lockhart aside, Martin was the head of the Aurors in addition to the Director of the Executive Division, and Arthur Weasley continued to be the Director of the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic, as well as the Director of the Division of Magical Accidents and Disasters...... It can be said that the members of the Auror and the Order of the Phoenix hold all the key positions in the Department of Execution, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Exchange and Cooperation.

The biggest disadvantage of this is that not everyone is competent. To make amends, each official has the power to recommend someone he deems both reliable and better suited for the position than himself. This awkward situation will always get better, but it may not be until a year or two later that it will be completely normal.

The shortage of manpower is so severe - these people are usually officials of the Ministry of Magic, and in the event of a battle, they will pull out their wands and become Aurors again, and if the Aurors are also a position, there are already people in all three positions at the same time!

Large-scale recruitment of Aurors and strikers has also begun, and Lockhart has set aside all of his Galleons in Gringotts to temporarily fund the restoration and operation of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. He used to think that he was rich, but now he took it out to support the operation of the entire Ministry of Magic, only to find that it was completely insufficient.

――

"When I was in my twenties, I naively thought that money was the most important thing in the world. Lockhart smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry to realize that he is true now, Siris, and forced you to take out your ancestors' things and sell them." After a while of the new wizarding laws enacted, and the Muggle government provides the Ministry of Magic with operating funds, it will be able to pay you back. ”

"It's useless to keep it—" said Cyris with a nonchalant smile like a loser, "and the most unpleasant thing is that the only ones who can afford what I bring out are the Death Eaters, but they are hiding now and are afraid to come out, so they have to sell them cheaply." ”

"Alas...... Perhaps consider selling some of the non-magical treasures in the Muggle world. Lockhart shook his head. "Are Rufus and Fleur awake and how are they recovering?"

"Fleur is awake, but she will have to recuperate for a while. Rufus is just out of danger......," said Arthur, "you almost cheated my daughter out, and now you care about my daughter-in-law, your own wife has not yet been discharged from the hospital." ”

"Hermione is fine, she will be back at school in two days. Lockhart explained. Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley was not there, and Arthur was quite talkative after listening to his explanation of the aphrodisiac. "Speaking of school, it's the season of wizard level exams again, we must not only restore order in the wizarding world, but also hunt down the Death Eaters, prevent the counterattack of the mysterious people, and even delay the children's exams......"

Every official has to wipe the ass of his predecessor, which is a normal and even conventional phenomenon in both wizarding and Muggle worlds - but Lockhart now has to do more than wipe his ass can summarize: he is faced with a situation full of dung, institutional malaise that has accumulated over the centuries, and with the complete outbreak of this civil war, the major blood change cannot be completely solved...... There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with immediately, even if there is a team to assist, it makes him busy and dizzy because he is not good at management, and it is not too much to say that there are all kinds of opportunities.
