Chapter 675: Three Parties
The next few days were dominated by almost all the news about the Harris family, except for the fact that the mysterious man returned and was beaten away by Alan Harris, and all the media reported another event almost at the same time: Owen Harris succeeded Cornelius Fudge as the thirty-third Minister of Magic since the British Ministry of Magic was established in 1707.
"Former Deputy Minister of Magic, Owen Harris, succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister of Magic, an appointment ......" In the Wizarding Television, the hostess of the French charm is in high spirits.
Mr. Owen Harris sat behind his desk and waved to the camera, amiable and authoritative, looking mature and stable, and live-streamed a very strong inauguration declaration, but wizards thought that he should be no less stressed than the first Minister for Magic, Yurik Gamp.
The first minister, Yurik Gamp, had a lot of work to do in order to adapt an agitated and panicked society to the implementation of the International Secrecy Act. His greatest accomplishments were the establishment of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the chartered Cauldron to remain in business as a safe haven and sanctuary for members of the Magical Society - in gratitude, the owner of the Cauldron created a new beer brand, the Gamp Aged Courtesan. The wine was so unpalatable that no one could drink a pint even if they were rewarded with 100 Galleons.
The thirty-third Minister of Magic, Owen Harris, will face the resurgence of the Dark Lord, whose name he can't even name, and his Death Eaters, as well as a possible Second Wizarding War.
Wizards are not surprised by this result, the strength and prestige of the Harris family in the past few years in the United Kingdom, which is a bit of a backwater, has been obvious to all, and almost the whole year has been spent on framing Dumbledore and trying to tell all wizards that "all is right" Connelly? Harris, this result could not be better news for the fearful British wizards.
Now many optimistic wizards, after getting rid of the horrors brought about by the first wizarding war, find themselves in the possession of the world's greatest white wizard, Albus Dumbledore, the son of the new Minister of Magic is obviously not only the best Quidditch Seeker in the world or the Triwizard Tournament champion- Allen's strength and success in the edited video of the duel with the mysterious man and driving the other party away made many, many wizards who were ready to escape from the UK as soon as they learned of the Dark Lord's return change their minds.
What gave people more confidence was the follow-up video in which everyone saw Alan Harris on TV and walked out alive after being coaxed into the curtain of an arch that had been used to execute mortals. Although this caused some supposedly irreversible effects on the supposedly irreversible appearance of the savior, the meaning behind the accident of returning alive after entering the curtain is extraordinary.
Compared to the black-haired, green-eyed boy who is said to have not excelled in his grades and strength, but is said to have survived the Avada Curse, the Alan Harris in front of him, who has seen everything with his own eyes, is obviously more in line with the definition of a savior and an immortal boy in the minds of wizards.
Moreover, Alan Harris is also a pure-blooded boy wizard, even if he is not a true native family in the United Kingdom, but this also makes him more acceptable to more wizards than Harry Potter, who was classified as a half-breed because his mother is a Muggle-born wizard Lily Evans.
As for Albus Dumbledore, who has been reinstated as a member of the International Federation of Wizards and Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, as Headmaster of Hogwarts, Harris Television and the media controlled by the Harris family have only reported on it at very small length, with the exception of the Daily Prophet, which has completely lost credibility because of the continuous slander of Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter throughout the past year Aside from some of the positive news that had been reported on them by some of the struggles, only some foreign newspapers and tabloids that did not have much influence in Britain mentioned Dumbledore's name, and they were blindly optimistic that Britain had a new savior, Alan Harris, and the greatest white wizard, Dumbledore, and that the mysterious man would be soon banished and defeated.
Just like Owen Harris's inauguration declaration, the original patrol Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have stepped up their vigilance, and even the armed Aurors, who had not participated in patrol missions before, began to take to the streets, constantly publicly saying that they would help wizards from threats from Death Eaters, protect their families and homes from attacks, and actually arrest some dark wizards in Diagon Alley, and ban some gray industries- Even according to the grapevine, many people have even seen some minor friction between the armed Aurors and the patrolling Aurors because of the issue of the warning area.
The entire Ministry of Magic is like opening its fangs under the command of Owen, and the appearance of the Aurors being fully armed has raised the vigilance of many pure-blood wizards who have been affected by the strength of the Ministry of Magic in this change, and they are secretly jealous, but they have not commented much on this somewhat aggressive now, but they are constantly trying to rebuild some good relations with the new masters of the Ministry of Magic- The pressure of the return of the mysterious man, Harris's current strength, and the long-standing relationship with the White Wizard Dumbledore have made it impossible for these pure-blood families to decide the future course of their respective families for the time being.
However, the professional patrols of the armed Aurors also gave the wizards a sense of security, more trust and satisfaction in the current class of officials of the Ministry of Magic - at least the visible and tangible wizarding forces stationed in places like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade made the trade and business in these areas normal.
Further follow-up by the Ministry of Magic pleased more people, and in addition to a detailed manual on precautions and how to deal with them, the Ministry of Magic also provided wizards with a large number of insignia, similar to those used for Auror contact, for free.
The badges were donated and sponsored by the Harris family's umbrella company, so they all feature the red and white umbrella logos belonging to the umbrella company. This type of badge is a civilian version of the badge with simplified functions, and only has the function of contacting the Ministry of Magic and asking the Ministry of Magic to locate the emblem, but not the role of the Auror or other civilian badge users.
The badge is given out for free, but it is not mandatory to receive it, after all, it involves personal privacy, and it is voluntarily adopted by ordinary wizards - because of the style of the Mysteries, Muggle and half-blood wizards received the badges almost immediately, and some pure-blood families who have always been at odds with the Mysteries - such as the Bones family, who supported the Order of the Phoenix in the First Wizarding War and were almost wiped out, and the Longbottom family, who were directly members of the Order of the Phoenix, also received one for the family members.
At present, the Ministry of Magic led by Owen Harris is devoting all his energy to controlling the Ministry of Magic and preparing for the second war, and the newly appointed Minister of Magic, Owen Harris, seems to be full of energy, he is indeed very motivated, and the entire Harris family has benefited from this incident.

Nominated by Owen, who is also the Minister of Magic, Fudge's compromises and contacts help him use his connections to convince Wizengamot that Alan is now a member of the International Confederation of Wizards, and has become the representative of the British branch of the International Confederation of Wizards under the consent of the Minister of Magic.
The International Confederation of Wizards is an intergovernmental organization in the wizarding world, roughly equivalent to the United Nations in the Muggle world, after the resurrection of the mysterious man last year, because the British Ministry of Magic did not recognize this fact, which led to Dumbledore's Dumbledore's president of the federation and the removal of the federation membership, and now his membership of the International Federation of Wizards has been restored, but he has not re-become the representative of the British branch and the president of the federation, African wizard Babagid? Arkinbad had already succeeded Dumbledore as the new president of the International Confederation of Wizards.
After joining the International Confederation of Wizards, Owen, Lunne, and Allen naturally became one of the members of the Wizengamot, the highest court in the wizarding world. Ogden resigned last year to protest against Fudge's senior investigator Umbridge's involvement in Hogwarts, and Fudge lost his position due to a mistake in the mystery man, and the members of the Wizengamot, who had already sold good to Harris, simply recruited the Harris father and son into the team instead of engaging in useless confrontation, and a fuchsia robe embroidered with a delicate silver W on the left chest was handed out to them.
The entire Ministry of Magic has ushered in a major change, and the transfer of positions is very large. The members of the Harris family brought from Germany and the wizards who moved closer to the Harris family in the United Kingdom have all been given important positions, and those important seats that originally belonged to the Fudge faction have been vacated, and they have been directly demoted without any background.
Lunn Harris successfully became the head of the Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic. One of the members of the Umbrella Team, Victor's father happened to be Mr. John Bartha, an aide to Owen Harris, who had just made a name for himself in the Ministry of Magic and became the head of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters of the Ministry of Magic.
Although the pure-blood family in Britain was caught off guard after the Mysterio incident, they couldn't react much in a short period of time and let the Harris family take control of the Ministry of Magic, but they already understood the importance of force, and they also spent a lot of effort to get Rufus Scrimgeour to join them, and let his position as head of the Auror Office be retained, and did not let him carry out the so-called promotion and transfer - this is also Rufus? The main reason for the friction between Scrimgeur's patrolling Aurors and Albert's armed Aurors.
At present, the entire British wizarding community, except for the mysterious man and his Death Eaters, has basically formed three forces on the side of "justice".
The first force is the world's greatest white wizard, Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix behind him, who are undoubtedly still well-known in the minds of ordinary wizards due to their participation in the First Wizarding War and the prestige accumulated over the years - and many wizards are even blindly optimistic that Dumbledore's cooperation with the new Ministry of Magic will lead to the rapid defeat of the mysterious man in this rebellion.
The second force is unintentionally the emerging Harris family, with the control of the Ministry of Magic, coupled with the financial and technical support of the Aurors' top armed forces Aurors and the Umbrella Company, as well as the existence of the new savior Alan Harris, there is no doubt that the Harris family has become the strongest existence in terms of strength and financial resources, plus the control of the laws and public opinion of the British wizarding world, at least no one dares to resist them now.
The third force is Rufus Scrimgeour and his patrol Aurors, as well as the traditional pure-blood families of the British homeland behind him. However, those patrolling Aurors obeyed Scrimgeur's arrangement more because of his position, rather than because of the armed Aurors, who had been marked by the Harris family, which made these pure-blood family leaders who were already contradictory and forced to temporarily twist into a rope were quite helpless, and the weakest of them needed to unite with one side in order to maintain their dignity and status.
However, Rufus Scrimgeour himself and Dumbledore have often disagreed for many years, and his agreement with the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items and his agreement to protect Muggles has also disliked the pure-blood family, which itself has long adopted a certain confrontational attitude with the White Wizards, in fact, if it were not for the Harris family's aggressiveness, these pure-blood families would not have been in their own line in the face of the crisis, but would have joined Harris's chariot long ago.
The mystery man has not entered the choice of these pure-blood families now, the person whose name cannot be said is too crazy, and he does not have a clear reform concept like the first demon king Gatler Grindelwald, except for some pure-blood supremacy slogans that are more pleasant, his own behavior is too crazy and unpredictable, giving people the feeling that it is just a dark wizard organization formed by some psychopaths and criminals.
With both the White Wizard and the new Savior in place, these pure-blood families don't see any chance of victory for the Mystery.
It's just that Harris's tough attitude, the contradictory relationship between Dumbledore's forces, and the pressure brought by the mysterious people make these pure-blood families can only barely protect themselves at present, and can only wait and see and test and cannot make a choice.
