Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#502 - Chapter 502 Ministry of Magic Meeting

While the Death Eaters were enjoying their dinner, Sebastian was still at the Ministry of Magic, helping to clean up the mess.

Of course, it wasn't unpaid labor; he was staying there mainly to persuade Amelia to move the Ministry of Magic.

As for the location, it was naturally Hogsmeade New Town.

Frankly, Sebastian had long wanted to move the Ministry of Magic there, to make Hogsmeade New Town the true political, economic, and educational center of the British wizarding world.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a suitable reason, and no one would be willing to move the Ministry of Magic.

After all, the Ministry of Magic had been here for hundreds of years, and in a situation that emphasized democracy, such a major event as moving couldn't be decided by one person.

Therefore, neither Fudge before nor Amelia, who was about to become Minister for Magic, could turn the Ministry of Magic into a dictatorship; everything had to be decided in meetings.

After Voldemort appeared and led the Death Eaters to smash up the Ministry of Magic, Sebastian knew that the opportunity to move the Ministry of Magic had arrived.

So, in his capacity as a member of the Wizengamot, he actively participated in the internal management meetings of the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't rush to put forward his suggestion, instead quietly listening to Amelia chair the Ministry of Magic meeting.

The first item on the agenda was to elect an acting Minister, after all, such a serious incident had occurred, and the Ministry of Magic needed a leader to lead them forward.

Without any objection, Amelia Bones, in her capacity as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, became the acting Minister, while the official election would be held after the Ministry of Magic had stabilized.

Frankly, without waiting for the official election, everyone present already regarded Amelia as the official Minister for Magic, even without the support of Sebastian and Dumbledore.

Because Amelia's performance today had already won the hearts of everyone.

The second item on the agenda was to restore Dumbledore's Wizengamot status and to ask him to represent the British Ministry of Magic at the International Confederation of Wizards' emergency meeting to be held tomorrow.

With the British Minister for Magic dead, the Headmaster of Ilvermorny dead, and the elite Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States almost wiped out, with so many things happening, the International Confederation of Wizards would definitely be in chaos.

In this situation, it was appropriate for a wizard as respected as Dumbledore to step forward, one could only hope that the current Acting President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Babajide Akingbade, didn't think Dumbledore was going to compete with him for the position of President.

Dumbledore liked this united and efficient atmosphere, and besides, he originally hoped to join forces with the Ministry of Magic to fight against the Dark Lord, so facing Amelia's invitation, he didn't decline and immediately accepted the task.

Seeing that Dumbledore had no objections, Amelia immediately chaired the meeting to move on to the next item on the agenda.

"According to the investigation, the reason why the Dark Lord was able to easily capture Azkaban and then come to the Ministry of Magic was all because Yaxley was a spy sent by the Dark Lord."

In an instant, the meeting room became chaotic.

"That damned fellow, so he was the one causing trouble, Minister Fudge trusted the wrong person."

"Issue a reward, and hunt him down!"

"Yes, and those guys who escaped from Azkaban, issue rewards for them all!"

"Everyone!" Amelia stopped the discussion, "A reward must be issued, but the more important issue is that we must prevent the Dark Lord from continuing to send spies into the Ministry of Magic."

"Therefore, I propose using Veritaserum to conduct a full screening in the Ministry of Magic, starting with me, the acting Minister."

Veritaserum?

That's not quite appropriate, is it.

Everyone has their own secrets, if Veritaserum is used, wouldn't there be no privacy at all.

Amelia is a good person, but this method is a bit too tough.

For a time, there were few respondents, and most wizards looked embarrassed.

As if anticipating this situation, Amelia continued, "I know everyone has concerns, but we can stipulate the number and content of the questions in advance to ensure that no privacy is involved."

"Everyone, the war has already begun, Minister Fudge's example is right in front of us, any carelessness could cost us our lives."

"I would rather die on the battlefield than let these spies stab us in the back, so a large screening is imperative!"

"I support Minister Bones' decision!" Sebastian immediately spoke out, supporting his friend.

"On behalf of Swann Alchemy, I will donate a thousand bottles of Veritaserum for the Ministry of Magic's screening, so that those who support the Dark Lord have no chance to take advantage of."

A thousand bottles?

Hearing this number, everyone present widened their eyes.

Goodness, what a generous gift!

Three drops are enough for a person to tell all their secrets, are you telling us to drink Veritaserum like water?

With Sebastian's support, the opposition was much smaller, and the bill to use Veritaserum was quickly passed, and then the focus was on how to set the questions and how to protect individual privacy.

Of course, Veritaserum alone is not enough. In order to prevent Death Eaters from using Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Ministry of Magic employees after the large screening, or directly using their relatives and friends to coerce them into doing things that would please their enemies and hurt their loved ones, Sebastian also decided to add some insurance for Amelia.

For example, sharing the production technology of work permits with the Ministry of Magic, helping Ministry of Magic employees produce work permits that are bound to their souls, and using work permits for security certification when entering the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, employees who pass the Veritaserum test will also need to sign a magical contract, and when they betray the Ministry of Magic, their names will appear on a specific list.

Of course, these do not need to be discussed now, just discuss them with Amelia in private. After all, these employees can accept even Veritaserum, and the remaining two items are nothing.

During the war, everything is strict. If someone is unwilling to accept these security measures, it doesn't matter, they can resign voluntarily. Every year, a large number of graduates are vying to work in the Ministry of Magic.

The meeting continued, the next item was to discuss the restoration of the Ministry of Magic and the next goals of the Ministry of Magic.

Seeing this, Sebastian no longer waited, he stood up and came to the chairman's table under everyone's gaze.

"Everyone, I have a proposal!"

"The Dark Lord is back, this is a fact we already know, so now there is a very serious problem in front of everyone - the Ministry of Magic is no longer safe."

"For everyone's safety, I suggest moving the Ministry of Magic to Hogsmeade New Town."
