Harry Potter, the savior of Night City

Time passed slowly, and with Fudge and Umbridge's secret stash and the support of the pure-blood family, the Ministry of Magic was quickly rebuilt. The president had originally planned to help Harry rebuild the Ministry and see if he could get some technology from the wizards, but Harry politely declined. However, he proposed a deal to exchange land for technology, which the president readily agreed to. In the following days, the president obtained first-class cybernetic technology, which had long been obsolete in Night City, and happily went to see the wizards' (?) infrastructure technology.

Large quantities of building materials floated out of the wizards' storage bags. With a wave of their wands, the messy building materials immediately straightened themselves into a neat shape. Then, under the wave of the wands, they floated towards the construction area and were quickly melted and shaped into suitable forms before disappearing into the ground.

Harry scoffed at the original style of the Ministry of Magic, which was, to be honest, also due to his adolescent angst. He wanted to build an unprecedented building. After he drew his ideas on paper and showed them to the Malfoy family's construction team, he realized his poverty. According to his idea, he wanted to build a 300-meter-tall building. Not to mention the decorations, just the materials needed to stabilize the building would be astronomical.

It's not that it's impossible to build; even a Muggle could construct a building over 400 meters tall. However, the materials are simply too expensive. If it were actually built, it would consume almost half of the resources of the entire British magical world. According to the Malfoy family architects, just to stabilize the building, the foundation alone would have to be made of orpiment, and the supports in the walls would have to be infused with high-hardness, high-magical-conductivity metals like mithril. Otherwise, even if it were built, insufficient magical conductivity would make it impossible to support large-scale defense, early warning, and the application of general life magic. And this is just a building without any decorations. If you add helipads, building armor, and other external components, the magical world could go bankrupt for decades just to build this thing.

There was no other way, so Harry reduced the height in the blueprints from 300 meters to 100 meters, which made it more reasonable. Obtaining large quantities of orichalcum, mithril, and adamantite became much easier. He sent Hermione, Ron, and Draco with Harry's army to "borrow" from the goblins. As for the goblins' resistance? Let them talk to the dragons and the guns.

Very smoothly, the fairy rebellion was suppressed before it even began. Not only were the fairy stockpiled, but even the fairies themselves were taken away. They were given mind imprints like an assembly line, and in just three minutes, the rebellious fairies could be transformed into obedient and docile house-elves who would protect their masters' rights. Even something like Dobby wouldn't happen again. Everyone was happy. In any case, a large number of laborers would be needed after the building was completed, and the employment of house-elves was also solved. It was killing two birds with one stone.

With the materials and Galleons in place, the construction team moved at rocket speed. The old Ministry of Magic's ministerial and Auror floors were completely demolished, replaced by rows of twenty-meter-long orbium foundations. Accompanied by tremendous tremors, the ground was magically cracked open, and within just half a day, the densely packed orbium piles had become one with the earth beneath a square plot of land, hundreds of meters long and hundreds of meters wide.

Subsequently, the massive alloy skeleton gradually rose upwards, with mithril, drawn into threads, weaving into it like a woven fabric. It could have been built at a rate of one layer per day, but the weaving of the mithril magic network was too slow. Each layer of the skeleton required two days just to weave the mithril network, and runes had to be inscribed during the weaving process. Fortunately, the rune inscriptions were mostly simple "ᛗᚨᚷᛁᚲ ᚲᛟᚾᛞᚢᚲᛏᛁᛟᚾ" (magic conduction), and the machinery brought from Azkaban allowed for rapid inscription, greatly shortening the construction time.

Meanwhile, the obsidian was melted and shaped into a suitable form, with a very small amount of adamantite mixed into it. For this purpose, Harry returned to Night City halfway and "borrowed" some heavy machinery from the Aragaka Industrial Park. With the help of the crane, the outer shell was attached to the skeleton like dragon scales and, under the effect of magic, it was combined with the skeleton.

The framework of the skyscraper was completed in the first month and a half. From a distance, the hundred-meter-tall building looked like a black monument rising from the ground, but its design, which was wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, resembled a sharp knife. The scale of the new Ministry of Magic was visible even to Muggles who were kept outside the military's security lines.

In the final stage, thick cables and fiber optic cables were launched into the air by Thestrals (Harry, for the first time in a long time, bought something in Night City with his own money, though it wasn't his own). They were laid out along the walls, extending from the ground to the high-rise buildings, in all the pre-reserved locations. As the cables were inserted into the four pre-reserved ten-meter-high openings and woven into the magical network, a large amount of white vapor was ejected to dissipate heat. Driven by hydraulic rods, a huge take-off and landing platform was slowly pushed out, large enough to stand two chimera mechs.

The neon lights brought from Night City were gradually installed on the building. Two 15-meter-high screens were hoisted to the top of the tower by several wizards, one in front of the other. One hundred and twenty lightning rods were brought to the roof to form a lightning protection network. The conductive cables were then pulled down and connected to the batteries brought from Night City to utilize lightning. Finally, the total power was connected to the British power grid.

"Buzz—"

A tremendous roar erupted, and white steam, radiating heat, was expelled from the exhaust fans and pipes on the walls, emitting a buzzing sound. All fifteen floors inside the building lit up, as did the screen suspended on the outer wall at the top of the tower. The golden Holy Church emblem lit up against a blue and pink background, making the enormous emblem clearly visible even from a distance, causing the clueless Muggles to discuss it animatedly.

Harry was very pleased with the tower. The massive 15-meter-high retractable gate filled him with a sense of vanity as he walked in. However, the interior was empty, and it would probably take some time before the decorations were finished.

Rewind to the first week of construction, when Lucius brought over the new laws, a total of twelve volumes. They were largely similar to the laws of the old Ministry of Magic; after all, while the old Ministry of Magic was essentially rotten to the core, its laws were indeed comprehensive, though some new elements had been added.

Lucius did a good job legally with laws such as "Anti-Blood Discrimination and Equal Magical Rights," "Accountability Amendments for Ministry of Magic Officials," and "The Muggle and Wizarding Integration Act." However, some of his laws were not entirely appropriate. He could abandon his discrimination against Muggle-born and half-blood wizards, but he could not let go of his deep-seated discrimination against Muggles.

Harry flipped through the new bills without saying much, only saying that Lucius had done a good job. Then, he summoned some Muggle-born wizards and half-blood wizards, including Hermione, and even asked them to negotiate with the British president to draft the law. After the law was finalized, it would be reviewed by him.

Harry knew they would argue, but he didn't expect it to drag on for so long. The law, which was supposed to be revised in a week, took a full four months to finalize. It was only after Harry stepped in that the argument was finally put to rest; otherwise, it would have dragged on for who knows how much longer. The new law was only typed and released after the interior decoration and facilities of the Ministry of Magic building were completely finished. The entire wizarding world was shaken, and many expressed their dissatisfaction and even threats against the British wizarding community's proactive contact and vigilance towards Muggles. Harry ignored them. Let them come and fight if they dare. He figured by the time they did, his new Ministry of Magic would be in serious trouble.

On that day, the British government released legal policies regarding the magical community's attitude and cooperation with wizards, shocking the world.
