Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Making a fuss about Azkaban?

Ever since Sirius escaped from prison, the Ministry of Magic has been focused on capturing Black.

As for how Black escaped from prison, the Aurors had long since given up investigating.

Fudge asked doubtfully, "Sebastian, do you mean to let the Ministry of Magic refocus its attention on Azkaban and find out the loopholes there?"

"Alas... this isn't easy."

"You know, Black is one of the most heavily guarded prisoners, and Dementors are guarding his door day and night."

"However, judging by the Dementors' reactions, they did not detect anyone leaving Azkaban that night."

"The Aurors couldn't figure out what went wrong."

"Minister," Sebastian smiled softly, "Don't worry about what went wrong or how he escaped from prison. That's not the most important thing right now."

"The best way to eliminate the impact of Blake is to cover it up with something that has a more far-reaching impact."

"For you, the Minister, the best effect is to do something positive and attract the attention of the people."

Positive things?

Azkaban?

How are these two connected?

What good can be done in Azkaban...

Fudge looked at Sebastian with a question mark on his face, waiting for him to answer his questions further.

Looking at Fudge, who looked confused yet expectant, Sebastian smiled secretly in his heart, and got straight to the point without keeping him in suspense.

"Since 1718, Azkaban has officially become a wizard prison."

"On the surface, it has successfully become a place to hold wizard criminals. After all, Dementors can act as guards, saving time, Galleons, and energy."

"But if you look closely, there are actually many irrational aspects in it. Previous Ministers of Magic have basically paid no real attention to these issues."

"You can reform Azkaban and be the first minister to reform Azkaban."

Hearing this, Fudge's eyes gradually brightened, and his eyes flashed with undisguised interest.

Every word Sebastian spoke ignited the desire in him.

interesting!

The first Minister to reform Azkaban!

This title was created specifically for himself.

Of course, this matter must be done beautifully, so that I can be remembered by the world as a brave and innovative leader.

"Sebastian," Fudge's eyes became more and more anxious, "Tell me quickly, what is so unreasonable about Azkaban?"

Sebastian relaxed against the couch, tapping his fingers on the armrest as if he was organizing his thoughts.

"The biggest problem is the single model of Azkaban. The criminals imprisoned here, although charged with different crimes, were all sent to this cold and dark prison regardless of the severity of their crimes."

"Criminals serving life sentences were mixed with wizards who had only committed minor crimes. Even those who had committed innocent crimes were sent to this extreme environment."

"For those who have committed minor crimes or have not been sentenced for a long time, the oppressive environment of Azkaban will only cause their minds to collapse, and they may even lose the possibility of reintegrating into society."

Fudge frowned and nodded.

Indeed, this one-size-fits-all approach can easily lead to problems.

In fact, he had heard some voices of dissatisfaction with Azkaban, but he didn't pay too much attention to them.

"So, what should the direction of reform be? How should I change this system?" Fudge couldn't wait to know the answer to the question.

"Minister, the first step to reform is to show some humane care to these prisoners who have committed less serious crimes."

"Sebastian, do you mean to build another independent prison? If so, the cost will be too high and the Ministry of Magic cannot afford it."

"Don't bother," Sebastian smiled and continued, "Have you ever heard of labor reform, Minister?"

labour reform?

Fudge shook his head blankly. Having grown up in the wizarding world, he had never heard of the concept of labor reform.

"The so-called labor reform is to make prisoners achieve the purpose of reform through labor."

Understood!

This is to make the prisoners work.

Fudge stared at Sebastian in amazement.

Merlin!

How evil must this guy be to think of making prisoners work?

As expected of Sebastian, he always thinks of things that others can't think of.

"Sebastian," Fudge hesitated, "the prisoners will riot if this happens."

"Don't be impatient, Minister. I haven't finished yet." Sebastian waved his hand gently.

"My idea is to eliminate the criminals who are serving life sentences and give the remaining prisoners an alternative."

"Should I go out to work, or continue to stay quietly in prison in Azkaban."

"If you choose to work, you need to work eight hours a day. Of course, the work location is not in Azkaban, and the meals during work must also be guaranteed."

"To put it bluntly," Sebastian said, "these prisoners can go to work before leaving Azkaban during the day, and at night, they can be sent back to Azkaban to sleep."

"As for the content of the work, it can be planting herbs, brewing potions, or something simpler, just processing potion materials, or processing alchemical materials."

"If you still don't know how to do it, then it's very simple. The Ministry of Magic can provide special trainers to train these prisoners."

"In this way, when these prisoners are released from prison, they will have a skill and relevant work experience, and will be able to better integrate into society and reduce the crime rate."

Fudge leaned forward slightly, his eyes shining.

He could feel that simply helping the prisoners reintegrate into society would bring him great prestige.

In addition to this, there are many advantages of labor reform, such as it can bring a lot of gold Galleons to the Ministry of Magic and improve the financial problems of the Ministry of Magic.

In order to stay away from the Dementors, the prisoners must be willing to come out and work.

After all, only those who have actually been in Azkaban know that once you leave Azkaban, there is paradise everywhere.

Maybe, in order to stay outside longer, the prisoners are willing to work more than eight hours.

996 or even 007 are possible.

Hey!

Fudge could already foresee the scene of people praising him.

However, he was not too proud, after all, there were still many problems involved.

For example, how to transport prisoners to and from Azkaban on a large scale;

How to prevent prisoners from slacking off in the name of work;

How to prevent prisoners from escaping while working, etc.

Thinking of this, Fudge's face was full of smiles: "Sebastian, there are still many problems here."

"You must help to the end!"
