Chapter 1211

Politics has nothing to do with magic. As long as human beings still have a social structure, and there is a ruling class, then politics must exist.

Hermione had never touched any of these things before. Her diligent study of the various statutes and legal documents of the Ministry of Magic is indeed a must to become a leader, but it is not the whole story. She must also know how to take sides, know how to exchange interests, and know how to compromise......

The Director of the Department of Cooperation on Muggle Things is not an easy job. Because this is the front line of communication between Muggles and wizards, once there is an entanglement of interests, there will inevitably be conflicts.

Which side will Hermione be on then, will she force Muggles to compromise as much as possible on behalf of the wizards, or will she be on the side of ordinary people and let the wizards cede more benefits?

If it weren't for his skill, Hermione, a Muggle-born wizard, would have been very difficult to do, and she wouldn't be human inside and out.

Hermione had clearly not thought about any of this, and she became a little hesitant to hear Solim's words. She thinks Solim's reminder is very reasonable. As the Director of the Department of Cooperation on Muggle Matters, she represented the Ministry of Magic herself, and she had always considered herself an ordinary person who knew magic, and she did not have the so-called convert-fanaticism, and she did everything to try to prove how pure her blood was or to dissociate herself from Muggles.

"Maybe empty rhetoric doesn't make you feel the troubles of this position, so I'll give you a practical example, and that's exactly what you're bound to encounter—"

"Wizards and Muggles communicate and cooperate, and that's the tone that has been set, and no one can change it. Solim snapped his fingers twice, and Zim, who was far away on the island of Neasto, appeared out of the air with two cups of tea on a tray.

"Come on, we have a lot more to say, and tea to moisten your throat is still essential. "

"You were there at the meeting between Scrimgeour and the senior government officials, and you know that they will cooperate on potions. Solim took a sip from his teacup, "But have you ever thought about what Muggles will do once they realize the magical effects of these potions?"

Hermione wasn't an idiot like Ron Weasley who didn't know anything about potions. Although she, like Solim, has little talent in potions, and all she can do is follow the recipe and configure potions step by step, her theoretical knowledge is still very solid.

A few simple recipes in potions are enough to cause a major repercussion in the society of ordinary people.

Fire potion, a magic potion that can be used by junior students, is enough to cause a wave of enthusiasm - think about it, if every firefighter is equipped with this potion, will they still have to wear heavy fireproof clothing? If every household has a little bit of it, will anyone still die in the event of a fire?

An extremely simple potion was enough to turn Muggle society upside down. If the fireproof agent can be generalized - in Solim's opinion, this is simply a certainty. No one can refuse something that would save their life in the event of a fire. How much profit would that generate? Although the pricing power needs to be discussed by the committee, it will not be cheaper than two fire extinguishers, right? And the potion is easy to carry, so you can just carry it in your pocket and not take up space at all.

It is foreseeable that once the Muggles have been given a fireproof potion and seen for themselves how this simple potion can protect against fire, a large number of young people will buy it for fun - such as drinking the potion and jumping into the fire to party. There will definitely be quite a few of these flame parties.

And that's just the basics of the fireproof potion.

Scrimgeour and Muggle officials finalized a total of five potions for the first batch of potions: in addition to fire-resistant potions, perfume with aphrodisiac ingredients (the Weasley brothers had already applied for a patent), a hair growth potion that countless British men coveted, a vitality tonic (a regular potion that is not a counterfeit product peddled by Hogwarts students before their annual exams), and a universal blood tonic that would shut down blood banks across Europe......

The five agents cover disaster prevention, social items, personal items, and medical supplies. It can be said that the Ministry of Magic has put a lot of effort into selecting the first batch of potions to work with Muggles.

Solim asserted that no one would refuse the five potions, and that even if there were, they would disappear at breakneck speed.

When one sees a big living person laughing loudly in the flames, when one discovers that the object of his crush cares about him, when a balding middle-aged man finds that the top of his head is lush again, when an old man with little energy finds himself rejuvenated, when a critically ill patient who has lost a lot of blood becomes alive again......

Any opposition will be immediately suppressed, any opposition will be extinguished in time, and any attempt to march will be stopped immediately.

These things would be absolutely sold insane in Muggle society.

But under the huge benefits, there are huge hidden dangers.

At first, Muggle dignitaries and interested groups will certainly be happy because their stocks will soar, but when they calm down, they will start to move.

The recipe for the potion and the corresponding potion materials are all provided by the wizard. Would Muggles be willing to leave something of great benefit entirely in the hands of someone else?

Impossible...... In any case, they will try to get the formula, and then they will experimentally grow the relevant herbs, trying to grasp the whole industry chain in their hands.

But in doing so, it moved the wizard's cake.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, this sentence is applicable everywhere, whether it is an ordinary person or a wizard.

The Ministry of Magic's Muggle Division of Cooperation will inevitably be thrust into the limelight at that point—in fact, it is already now. At that time, Hermione's approach and attitude will be watched by countless people, can this girl withstand such a lot of pressure?

Solim didn't know, and even Hermione didn't know if she could do it well, but backing down was never an option for this Gryffindor girl, she just squeezed herself as much as she could, making things perfect.

"Actually, you're in pretty good shape, at least the Ministry of Magic is no longer a stubborn pure-blood force under Scrimgeour's purge. That's good news for you, at least there's no one pulling you back. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Actually, there are. Hermione pouted, "The minister can't do everything, and although he has cleaned up the useless institutions and offices, and the people who only get paid and don't work, there are still some people who have stayed. "

"That's normal, just think of the level of control that Death Eaters and pure-blood wizards had over the Ministry of Magic in the past. It's pretty good that Scrimgeour has not been ousted or assassinated. Most of the people with a Death Eater background and who helped the Death Eaters do evil things were cleaned up, and all that was left were inconsequential little fish and shrimp, and if you couldn't even stand the pressure from these people, then ......"

"I didn't say that!" Hermione said firmly, "I just think they're disgusting, and what they're doing is disgusting." Can you imagine that they would steal the minutes of the meeting that I had recorded, just to sue me—it was so naïve that even Slytherin would do such a thing. "

"Then what else do you have to worry about?" Solim took a sip of his tea, "With such childish means and impossible goals, such a person will not succeed, and at most he will disgust you." "

“...... That's disgusting too. "[]

"But there are benefits. "

Hermione looked at Solim quizzically.

"At least those people can exercise your patience, if you can't even endure these little deflated people, then how can you put up with those more disgusting people in the future?"

"The Ministry of Magic needs to be tricky. Violence is a great way to solve problems, but you don't have the personal strength to ignore most of the rules, so ...... Bow"

"I see what you mean, Solim, I understand. Hermione lowered her head, "Just because I didn't want to do that doesn't mean I can't learn." "

"I'm afraid that I'll start to loathe myself in the future. "。
