Chapter 312: Reaching out to the Ministry of Magic for Reform
"Sebastian, you dare to show up in front of me! Because of the advice you gave to Fudge, everyone in our Law Enforcement Department has been working overtime for more than half a month."
Amelia Burns, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, complained as soon as she saw Sebastian.
"Today is Saturday, and we are still here to review the files to prevent any wrongful convictions. Look at the employees here, each of them has a pair of panda eyes."
"If wizards in the East saw this, they would think we were transformed from the magical animal called the Iron-eating Beast."
"Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?"
Sebastian chuckled, unceremoniously moved a chair and sat opposite Amelia's table, appearing quite casual.
This is a witch with a square chin and broad shoulders, with short gray hair neatly hanging down to her shoulders, giving her a capable and resolute look.
She graduated from Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts and is well-known in the wizarding world for her exceptional magical talent and reputation for fairness.
Amelia Burns has a very tough style, or rather, the entire Burns family has a very tough style.
During the last wizarding war, the Burns family steadfastly fought against Voldemort's forces, and never backed down even though family members died one after another.
Sebastian and Amelia Burns have a good relationship, and their friendship can be traced back to when Sebastian just graduated and became an Auror.
At that time, the Death Eaters under the mysterious man and the Order of the Phoenix under Dumbledore were fighting fiercely.
Amelia's brother, Edgar Burns, is a member of the Order of the Phoenix and the backbone of the wizarding world's resistance to the Death Eaters.
But during one operation, the Death Eaters raided Edgar's home, and he and his family were trapped in their home, in imminent danger.
After receiving the news, Sebastian led a small team of Aurors to the scene, but Edgar had already been brutally murdered by the Death Eaters. Sebastian only had time to save his wife and children.
Amelia was very grateful to Sebastian, and the two of them formed a deep friendship.
Sebastian also described to her his blueprint for the development of the wizarding world, which deeply impressed Amelia, a wizard who pursues justice and truth.
She decisively joined Sebastian's team. In various political games, she stood on Sebastian's side and firmly supported and trusted him.
It can be said that the two people are true comrades-in-arms and companions!
"Senior, don't be angry," Sebastian said with a smile, "I know you are busy, so I brought some help to you."
Looking at the young man behind Sebastian, Amelia smiled kindly: "You haven't introduced him to me yet, who is this young man?"
"Percy Weasley, a top student who has obtained certificates for twelve OWL exams, just graduated from Hogwarts this year. His NEWT exam results are also excellent." Sebastian said with a smile.
"Thinking of how hard you work, I decided to bring him here to help you. This kind of talent can't be given away to others."
Weasley?
Is this Arthur's son?
No wonder this red hair looks so familiar.
Being able to obtain twelve OWL exam certificates is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
The Law Enforcement Department needs exactly this kind of talent!
Amelia grinned. "Good for you, Sebastian. You've come to me through connections. You really don't consider yourself an outsider."
"You are planning to assign him to the Law Enforcement Department so that I can train him well and wait for him to take over my job in the future, right?"
"No problem, let him stay. I'll take him to go through the formalities later. Just do what you need to do. Don't stay here and get in the way. I'm upset when I think about how much work you've found for me."
"No, senior sister," Sebastian waved his hands repeatedly, "I haven't finished talking yet, don't rush to chase me away."
"Percy's talents are more than what's on his transcript. It would be a waste to have him join the Law Enforcement Division."
Good boy, you actually look down on the Law Enforcement Department!
I'd like to hear what you can come up with.
Amelia glared at Sebastian, as if to say that she would make him suffer if he didn't give her an explanation.
Sebastian asked with a smile instead of responding directly to Amelia's question.
"Senior, I discussed with you before about adding a financial department to the Ministry of Magic. How is your plan going?"
Financial Secretary?
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Amelia was a little confused. "I'm so busy that my hair is falling out. How can I have the mood to plan that?"
She looked at Percy standing behind Sebastian and suddenly realized, "Is this Percy's talent?"
Sebastian gave Amelia a thumbs-up and patted Percy.
"Come on, Percy, don't hide it, show your plan to Chief Burns."
"This will be your greatest support in the Ministry of Magic from now on. You must let her see your true abilities."
Percy was shaking with excitement.
Since the summer after graduating from fifth grade, after listening to Professor Swan's advice, Percy began to seriously study Muggle economics. (See Chapter 157 for details)
After entering the sixth grade, Percy resolutely decided to give up all elective courses, concentrate on the five basic subjects, and devote almost all his energy to learning Muggle economic knowledge.
No matter day or night, he never slacked off, for fear that he would not meet Professor Swann's expectations after graduation and miss the opportunity to soar to the sky and change his destiny.
Muggles' knowledge of economics is as deep as the ocean. The more Percy learns, the more shallow he feels. He even toyed with the idea of taking a few years off after graduation and learning more from the Muggle professor.
After all, the economic problems of the entire wizarding world would have to be considered at that time, and he was afraid that he would accidentally cause a big mess.
He once consulted Sebastian, and the answer he got was:
"This world is just a huge makeshift team. As long as you can meet the assessment requirements of the Muggle professors, the rest is learning and growing in practice."
Now, after graduation, Percy has passed the assessment of the Muggle professor, and Sebastian has fulfilled his original promise and brought him to the Ministry of Magic, ready to let him show his talents.
The timing of everything is just right.
Percy looked at Sebastian, his mentor, with gratitude, then walked forward respectfully, took out two plans that he had prepared long ago, and handed them to Sebastian and Amelia respectively.
"Good fellow, the first rule is to implement a tax policy!"
Amelia raised her eyebrows in surprise, she looked up at Sebastian with a playful look in her eyes.
"Sebastian, don't tell me this is the first time you've read this plan."
"Do you really agree with the tax policy? This is not good news for Swan Alchemy..."
