The origin of the Ministry of Magic originated from a negotiation between clan-like wizarding factions.

The expanded application of this negotiation led to the birth of the International Covenant of Wizards in 1298.

And the establishment of Hogwarts can be regarded as its scaled-down application.

To put it simply, it means that some wizards who are qualified to play and are willing to participate in the negotiation of raising funds to establish and continue to support a functional facility that benefits all wizards.

It's a lot of good intentions, but it's not so pure.

After all, benefits are not just intuitive money.

Relying on the operation of such facilities, it attracts wizards scattered everywhere and living their own small lives to gather, making the gathering more viscous.

After all, wizards with extraordinary abilities have a strong ability to survive, and even in modern times, mixed with the huge group of Muggles to suck blood, they still have the ability to be superior and eat and drink without worry.

For a long time, wizards were in a very loose pattern, forming a loose circle with only a certain communication function, and there were so many large gatherings a year to barter and something.

Later, under external pressure, as well as the operation of a strong man with courage and pattern, he gathered people to form a ministry and annexed and built the country, which is martial arts, cultural governance, and these public welfare facilities, including Hogwarts.

In the early days, Hogwarts was far from being as grand as it is now, when it only had the main castle and the interior was not perfect, and Slytherin left due to disagreements in the later period.

While the four founders were still alive, they were already discussing the future of Hogwarts and decided to have the Ministry of Magic take over.

At that time, the Ministry of Magic was also very rudimentary, and even the expenses for operation were apportioned.

Under the impetus of half convocation and half coercion, the school board was formed.

After a thousand years of wind and rain, the earlier families who held financial power like tribal chiefs are basically gone.

The subsequent school directors are these, including the Black family.

This is the generation whose rights and duties have been clarified.

In other words, if you want to point fingers in the Ministry of Magic, you must participate in some public welfare affairs.

What should I do if the family has risen and fallen, and I can't afford to play? Naturally, some people go down, and some people come in.

Normally, such matters are raised and resolved at the decennial Board of Trustees' Meeting. Corresponding to this is a comprehensive inventory of the school's property, as well as a future outlook report and other items.

This rigid management model has caused many problems, such as arrears of school managers.

The Black family was in arrears for six years, and in fact could not afford to pay the dues before Walburga died.

Moreover, not all school directors who owe their fees are in arrears because they can't come up with the money like the Black family, and the reason they are in arrears is because of capital operations.

Now the apportionment fee has increased to 20,000 a year, and 10 years is 200,000, 1 million pounds, which is not a small amount, and if you are in arrears, you can use this money to make money, and if you pay it, then there is no play.

This is also the reason why the Ministry of Magic has become more and more authoritative over the years, and has been able to appoint and dismiss the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

The annual expenses incurred by Hogwarts are paid by the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic's own profitable industry is increasing, and the money will and must be paid to the school in a timely manner, regardless of whether the school board is in arrears or not.

It's not without a school board member that has questioned the enormity of Hogwarts' spending.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that this institution is really a gold-eating beast.

20,000 gold Galleons is enough for the salaries of two professors. The sorcerers experimented, ate and drank, and the energy stones maintained by the magic array were consumed, and this was all money. Not to mention the cost of basic maintenance and repairs to the huge castle and its array of facilities.

In addition to the general wear and tear costs, there are also some ancillary costs, such as the Hogwarts train, the Thestrals carriage that pulls students to the castle every year, which of these can operate normally without money?

So for the sake of money, the Ministry of Magic still welcomes the new Shafiq family to replace the Blake family.

The Black family has gone bankrupt, and ninety-two is another new decade, and when the time comes, he will not be able to get 160,000 gold Galleons for digging his family's grave, and some people will be held accountable for dereliction of duty in such bad debts, and the Minister of Magic, Fudge, will not have good fruit to eat.

As a result, the Shafiq family is willing to take over the Black family and make up their debts, which is part of the agreement behind Peter Pettigrew's case.

Catherine Shafiq arrived, and Fudge personally greeted him and had a cordial conversation.

Originally, they were secretly instigated and assigned by those wizards and magnates, and Fudge and other people from the Ministry of Magic did not deal with the Shafiq family's various horizontal noses and vertical eyes, but after all, they were not the opponents of the Money God's thick legs, and the tax payment of the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce was now very important, and the potential was still huge, and the upward momentum was still fierce.

How stupid do you have to be to go against such a wealthy upstart?

Although there are many people who say that the Ministry of Magic is the dog of the wizarding magnates. But this dog is gradually gaining its own power, just like the original ruling party in the United States.

With power, you want to get a status that matches it. Especially in recent years, wizards and magnates have become more and more dependent on the power of the Ministry of Magic.

If you are needed, you can talk about the conditions, the nouveau riche Shafiq family has delicious fresh meat, and the conditions are relaxed, why does this dog of the Ministry of Magic still bite people? You must know that people also have whips, two.

An economic whip has been seen, and the people who smoke it are so servile that they almost call Queen Catherine to her face.

The other whip of force is mysterious and ferocious, usually very well collected, you can't see where it is, and occasionally when it is exposed, it is extremely hideous.

In the recent King's Cross terrorist attack, Remus John Lupin made a strong appearance.

Alpha Werewolf, Wind Shadow Spellbreaker, powerful in battle...... Compared with these, people with a heart are more concerned about the system that makes it stronger.

A wizard who suffered from the bloodthirsty toxins of werewolf madness, in just a few months, was built into a first-class powerhouse.

How many similar characters are still hidden in the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce, and how many more are they going to cultivate?

In addition, Kane Shafiq also made a striking appearance.

In the past, some people refused to believe that Kane was a super genius, thinking that the relevant information released by the Shafiq family was the product of clumsy tricks, and that institutions such as the Ministry of Magic and the Magic Federation were also looking at the face of money and accompanying the Shafiq family to fool the people.

But the King's Cross terrorist attack slapped these people in the face with facts.

The Order of Merlin of the first class not only has outstanding professional contributions, but also has extremely considerable combat power. Many wizards are now studying Kane's wand 'hilt' and the magical lightsaber that he condenses in battle.

Naturally, some people ran to Ollivanders for advice, even though Ollivanders' wand shop had been listed for renovation since the wizards were enrolled.

Ollivander, who has established an information exchange with the MAGIC EYE Chamber of Commerce, calmly responds, losing no time in carrying a sedan chair for Kane and the Shafiq family, and also advertising his own store.

He said that the magic lightsaber is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say.

Powerful magic, superb control, with these two points, you can be as cool and handsome as Kane. Of course, a strong wand from Ollivanders, or an ancient wand, is also needed.

Ollivander was also interviewed by the Daily Prophet, and the concept of a strong wand was unveiled.

There are wizards who scold Ollivander for opening his eyes and talking nonsense, and there is no strong wand at all.

However, people are soft-spoken, the public opinion platform that Ollivander relies on has a mature system and huge influence, coupled with full preparation and intention, where can it be compared with the market remarks of scolding the mother?

The newspaper industry can be regarded as a specialization and refinement of the ability to fool people, and the voice is widely disseminated, and the influence of public opinion on ordinary people is not an opponent at all.

Ollivanders also took the opportunity to launch a high-level wand customization business at the same level as the standard wands produced by the MAGIC EYE Chamber of Commerce, starting at 700 gold galleons, don't come if it's too expensive.

There was a wail in the wizarding world, and some people said that the atmosphere was declining, the people's hearts were not ancient, and the famous Ollivander's wand shop had also fallen.

Ollivander came forward and choked: "It has always been, but there was no market demand before, and the strong wand was sealed in the dust." Ollivanders disdains to make a fuss about the carving and decoration of wands, Ollivanders wands, the appearance has always been simple and beautiful, and the function is first, and now the high-end series is launched because there are real powerhouses, and wizards with enough spending power have appeared. ”

Well, these words not only alluded to Kane Shafiq, but also stabbed many people's hearts.

Feelings: We used to be poor ghosts who were not qualified to buy high-end goods in your eyes?

What about being jealous?

Ollivanders has already achieved a global reputation and transcendent status, and now it has joined forces with the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce.

When the Ollivanders Wand Shop reopens, Catherine comes to the platform to cut the ribbon, buys a strong wand on the spot, and successfully activates the magic lightsaber.

After that, some wizards from the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce bought them one after another (in fact, they were all nurseries, who came to pick up the standard wands they ordered), activated the lightsaber on the spot, and some were magic cones.

The last dignity of a mage is a dagger.

Magic short knives and magic cones are also the forms often chosen by wizards.

The level of magic power of wizards in this world is generally not high, and there are few such reckless and strong development of their own magic power as Voldemort, the problem of magical radiation damage is low, and most wizards' physique is still okay before aging.

In this context, wizards have hand-to-hand combat ability, and many wizards can do one- or two-handed combat skills, and a handful are even proficient in close-quarters combat.

A strong wand shopping show that was heavily reported.

The wizards and magnates couldn't sit still, as if they didn't buy a strong wand and activated the magic lightsaber on the spot, it wasn't enough to prove that they were rich and powerful.

The trend arose, and some wizards worriedly published an article titled "Moving Forward in Persecution" in "Singing and Singing", which probably means that the Shafiq family launched a cultural erosion to the wizarding world, imported the concept of struggle, consumer culture, and advocated exquisite life, forming a comparative style in society, and a leisurely life model is being dismantled.

The Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce now has its own newspaper, the Weekly Business Daily, in which a column is set out to confront each other: is it a reflection of self-worth in abundance, or is it a leisurely life in poverty? The difference between the two is not only diligence, but also concept.

In this article, it is pointed out that more than half of the unsatisfactory in life is poor. Living in poverty and being in an embarrassing situation, can you be leisurely?

Forward, forge ahead.

This is the tone that Kane defines for wizards.

The remarks of the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce are naturally based on it to expound views and concepts.

The climate needs to be reversed slowly. At this stage, the Shafiq family is still in the stage of throwing money to seize power and increase its influence.

Taking advantage of the focus effect of the King's Cross incident, the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce made frequent moves.

Catherine Shafiq came to the Ministry of Magic with a team of professionals and won the school board of directors with great vigour.

The Shafiq family made up the arrears owed by the Black family and advanced the expenses for another five years.

The Ministry of Magic also received a donation, of which 5,000 Galleons were specifically earmarked for the Minister's travel allowance, which was a high-sounding explicit payment to Cornelius Forgese.

Fudge, who is greedy for money and power, calculated his small account and found that with only a small risk operation, he could get three years' salary from this matter.

Fudge was very happy, he was going to go back to the washing, cutting, blowing and clothing stores under the MAGIC EYE Chamber of Commerce for a one-stop shopping, and also catch up with the fashion, redesign his personal image, and order a few high-end suits with perfect details and stitches. Oh, and the shoes, which are said to be sold by the Constant Magic, and are as comfortable to wear as stepping on clouds, and because they are expensive, he has never been willing to buy them......

Unconsciously, many of the products of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce have become synonymous with high-end and decency, and even those powerful people of the Shafiq family have to admit in private that it is really good, the sentence 'fashion now, art in ten years' time. It's not all blowing......
