Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

After Amelia finished speaking, everyone waited for Cornelius Fudge's response.

Contrary to the expectations of the higher-ups, Fudge calmly nodded: "Director Burns is right. We are now facing a very thorny problem."

That is, we know Gringotts has problems, but we can't find a way to replace them.

We can't make sweeping changes, so we have to be rehabilitators.

Fudge readily admitted that he, or rather the British magical community, was helpless against Gringotts, after all, it was the only bank in all of Britain.

They have a clear monopoly—there's no need to compare how bad it is; no matter how much chaos those goblins cause at Gringotts, they won't have to worry about business coming their way.

In fact, this is very evident in Gringotts' usual operations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to establish a new organization, tentatively named the 'Wizards' Deposit Security and Gringotts Coordination Office.' This office will be responsible for the security of wizards' deposits and for coordinating with Gringotts."

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been some time since the Gringotts heist on Christmas Day, and Gringotts has yet to officially release a report on the losses suffered by the Lestrange family vault.

They actually plan to handle such a major case internally? How can that be allowed?

[Knock knock]

Fudge tapped on the solid wood conference table and asked all the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, "Can you all guarantee that your families will always prosper?"

If one day our descendants face the same predicament as the Lestrange family, will we also have to let the goblins of Gringotts have the final say?

Is the British magical world the wizarding world of wizards or the magical world of fairies?

Fudge's words plunged everyone in the office into deep thought, or rather, they revealed the concerns that all wizards had after the Gringotts Christmas heist.

Gringotts later issued a report stating that the stolen vault belonged to the Lestrange family and that the damage to the vault was not as great as rumored.

It can only be said that these goblins are bullying the Lestrange family members who are all in Azkaban.

The vault was engulfed in flames at the time, but the goblins of Gringotts said that the Lestrange family's vault had not suffered much damage.

Is this film simply taking advantage of the fact that no one in the Lestrange family is "outside" right now?

What treasures did they keep in their vault that could withstand such a fierce fire?

Is this what you call "no loss"? Is this what you call "minimal loss"?

If even the prestigious Lestrange family, a pure-blood noble family, is like this, how could wizards from ordinary families not be bullied to death by the goblins of Gringotts?

Although the problem was there, other senior executives questioned Fudge's ability to solve it.

Putting everything else aside, how many capable people does Fudge have at his disposal right now?

Are you suggesting that Umbridge should also serve as the head of this office?

Don't be ridiculous, that old woman is not the type to solve problems at all!

One of the senior officials raised his question: "Mr. Minister, I strongly support the establishment of this office, but I don't know who the office director will be?"

Upon hearing the questions from the higher-ups, Fudge laughed heartily: "This brings us to the second reason I gathered you all here."

Yesterday I received an urgent message from Sirius Black, concerning thousands of Infernals and his brother Regulus Black.

"Sirius and... Regulus?" Apart from those who knew yesterday, the rest of the high-ranking officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Regulus is one thing, but what about the Infernal?

"Please let the Director of the Department of Mysterious Affairs tell us the details," Fudge said, pointing to the most mysterious person in the entire conference room.

Even at the ministerial meeting, the director of the Department of Mysteries was still dressed in a long robe with his hood pulled down low.

There might even be magic on the hood, since no one at the scene could see his face clearly.

The Director of the Mysterious Affairs Department, who was named by Fudge, explained in a public voice the mission carried out by the two taciturn individuals from the Mysterious Affairs Department yesterday.

It also objectively describes what the mutated person saw.

This includes the ashes of thousands of infernal corpses that were pre-processed, the newly built memorial wall in Godric's Hollow, and the ashes of wizards stored at the Ministry of Magic and managed by house-elves.

And Regulus Black's struggle against Voldemort.

Fudge couldn't say that, because he was about to nominate Sirius as the head of the "Wizards' Deposit Protection and Gringotts Coordination Office".

The most respectable approach is for an objective and neutral third party to discuss Sirius Black's story.

"Gentlemen, Regulus may have been misled by the mysterious man's ideas, but we know very well that most pure-blood wizards in the magical world have actually been misled by him."

The difference between us and the Death Eaters is that we can see through the Mysterious Man's evil nature and rise up in resistance.

Regulus did just that; he risked his life to defy the Mystic.

Even on his deathbed, he was commanding his house-elves to destroy the dark magic artifacts left behind by the mysterious man.

Cornelius Fudge gestured, and immediately a staff member from the Minister's office presented Fudge with the Slytherin locket that had been burned by Fiendfire, which he had obtained from Isaac.

Additionally, the locket Regulus switched and the parchment note he left for the mysterious man were also on the tray.

Among the higher-ups, all the experienced wizards could tell that Slytherin's locket had been destroyed by Fiendfyre.

However, no one dwelled on this issue.

Fiendfire is not some extraordinary inheritance; it can be said that most pure-blood and half-blood families have this magic recorded in their records.

The reason this dark magic hasn't spread widely yet is because of the uncontrollability of Fiendfire.

If you don't use this thing properly, it can easily backfire.

It could be said that Fiendfire is more threatening to the caster than the Unforgivable Curse.

A killing curse that glows green might not kill anyone if the caster doesn't use it properly. Even if it affects the caster's mentality, it takes years and years of accumulation.

Unfortunately, if the Fiendfire spell gets out of control, the caster might die along with it. This makes the Fiendfire inheritance something that is acceptable to have in various magical families, but it is best not to use it.

Cornelius Fudge pointed to the parchment: "These are Regulus's words to the mysterious man. I think even if they were just written on paper, nine out of ten wizards in the magical world wouldn't dare to say such a thing."

Furthermore, the Slytherin locket, which was turned into a dark magic item by the mysterious man, was not destroyed by the Black family's house-elves.

Or perhaps the Black family's house-elves were helpless against the dark magic item.

Sirius Black only learned about the dark magic item yesterday when he returned home and learned about it from his house-elves.

After destroying the dark magic artifact, he went to the seaside cave to find Regulus's body. Along the way, he helped to properly deal with the thousands of undead in the cave lake.

Therefore, I propose that Sirius Black serve as the director of the new preparatory office.

Chapter 230 Timely Rain Percy

"I agree."

As soon as Amelia Borns opened her mouth, all the senior executives in the conference room turned to look at her.

Wait, sis? Weren't you just arguing with Cornelius Fudge?

Why are you the first to agree now?

We're all good colleagues, it's not appropriate to act like this!

However, it must be said that the nomination of Sirius Black as chief of staff was excellent.

Between purebloods and mixed-race individuals, Sirius Black happens to be the one that everyone can accept.

The representatives of the pure-blood family certainly knew that Sirius Black was different from the other Blacks, but so what if he was different?

Sirius Black, in the end, was still a Black, the last Black of England.

Sirius Black's pure-blood lineage is a label he can never erase.

Furthermore, how many of the once-illustrious Twenty-Eight Families are still around today?

Forcing Blake into the mixed-blood camp would be a loss for the entire pure-blood camp.

If the pureblood faction's acceptance of Sirius Black was somewhat reluctant, the mixed-blood faction's welcome of him was truly heartfelt.

As the second "son" raised by the Potter family, Sirius Black was already quite well-connected among the mixed-race group.

Since we share similar ideas, it's naturally easy to talk to each other.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"Sirius is the right person."

“The Black family and the Lestrange family are also related, I agree.”

The reasons given by the higher-ups for agreeing were varied, but their final attitude was the same: they all agreed.

Thus, with the strong support of Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge and the backing of Director of Magical Law Enforcement Amelia Burns, Sirius Black successfully took up the position of Director of the Office of Wizards’ Deposit Protection and Gringotts Coordination.

Currently, this office is just an empty shell and will need to be gradually built up after Sirius takes office.

But the staffing has already been established.

The meeting then passed a resolution to posthumously award Regulus Black the Order of Merlin, First Class, a medal he deserved long overdue.

The passage of two consecutive proposals made the higher-ups at the Ministry of Magic realize that Cornelius Fudge was no longer the rubber stamp minister he once was.

At least his influence over the Ministry of Magic is much greater than before.

Although Fudge still has a long way to go before he can fully control the Ministry of Magic, at least he is moving in a positive direction.

A qualified leader must at least show his followers a bright future, right?
