Hogwarts: I Am an Exemplary Wizard

Chapter 1057: Chapter 788: Chaos_2

”What’s your suggestion?”

”About rebuilding the Ministry of Magic.” Hermione said seriously, ”I think the destruction of the Ministry of Magic this time is a good opportunity; we... no, you can make some changes to get rid of the cumbersome and lengthy procedures of the past.”

”Tell me more.” Kael looked at her with interest.

He was indeed going to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow, and finding something to do wouldn’t be bad, after all, everyone was busy, and it wouldn’t look good for him to be too idle.

”First, the communication methods.” Hermione cleared her throat, ”Harry told me that communication within the Ministry of Magic relies on paper airplanes and they even have to use elevators.”

”That’s right.” Kael nodded, ”Initially, they used owls, which was later changed to this cleaner method.”

”But for the paper airplane to fly out and then reach its destination via the elevator, it takes at least a minute, and if the floor is high, it takes even longer, which is a waste of time.” Hermione said, ”If we use Muggle telephones, this problem can be solved effectively.”

”Oh, here she goes again.” Ron turned his head, whispering, ”I clearly told her, it’s impossible to install Muggle telephones in the Ministry of Magic.”

No one responded to him.

Kael nodded, ”Anything else?”

”There is also the Office for House-Elf Relocation and the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee.” Hermione continued, ”In my view, these two departments are just for show and don’t fulfill their intended roles, and the people at the Ministry of Magic should take them seriously.”

”Additionally, there are many unreasonable aspects in the Educational Decrees... The educational methods at Hogwarts are outdated and should be changed.”

Hermione passionately shared her opinions, while Harry and Ron stood behind her, unable to get a word in. Except for making some noise when mentioning Hogwarts’ teaching methods, they mostly remained silent, looking like two decorative mascots.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that Hermione finally stopped, casually taking out a bottle of pre-prepared Pumpkin Juice and drinking a large gulp.

Kael recalled the content just now... Hermione had said quite a lot, but not much was usable.

For example, regarding the situation with the House-elves and the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee, her reasons were indeed sound, but they were all imagined.

In fact, Hermione had never actually been to these two departments and didn’t know that the employees there were about to go crazy from being so busy... especially in the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee.

Nowadays, it was inevitable for wizards’ daily lives to interact with Muggles, even Ottery St Catchpole was a village where Muggles and wizards lived together.

In such circumstances, over time, the two sides would inevitably have some interaction, even conflict.

Although these issues could be solved with magic, such as the Forgetfulness Spell or the Confundus Charm, not everyone would choose such methods.

Because according to the latest ”Wizard Law,” wizards are not allowed to harm Muggles, and once a spell is improperly cast, causing harm to a Muggle, a Beater would immediately come knocking to punish the wizard to a certain extent.

Of course, generally, it doesn’t require confinement in Azkaban, but penalties for sure, typically fines ranging from thirty to a hundred Galleons, depending on the situation.

And since the Forgetfulness Spell and the Confundus Charm are Advanced Magic Spells, in most cases, those wizards who didn’t perform well in school or weren’t very confident in themselves would choose to report these issues to the Ministry of Magic, letting professionals handle the conflicts.

This is the task for the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee, and the people in this department are definitely professional. Of the two employees, one has thirty years of experience and the other fifty, making them definitely seasoned.

Mainly because there is no one willing to go to this department, and even after setting conditions to the lowest, no one considers it.

Aside from the low salary, more importantly, it involves too much work, with the two employees rushing between various villages and towns every day, resolving trivial matters between wizards and Muggles.

If you had to pick the busiest department in the Ministry of Magic, they are definitely in the top three, if not the first.

So those issues Hermione mentioned...like being useless and ineffective, are only because she hadn’t seen it.

Additionally, in the current situation, even if there were unreasonable aspects in these departments, the Ministry of Magic would not waste time solving them.

Their top priority now is definitely to resolve the Death Eaters’ issue; everything else will have to wait until the situation calms down.

However, Hermione did have good suggestions, like communication within the Ministry of Magic... that traditional paper airplane method is indeed a bit outdated and inefficient.

Kael pondered, installing telephones might not be realistic, but magic tools similar to the Communication Coin could be possible, or altering telephones through an Alchemy method by using magic text as a substitute for telephone lines is not impossible.

At that time, he could discuss with Fred and George to see if they could come up with something.

While thinking about this, suddenly a loud, mixed noise, accompanied by screams, came from afar, and the music abruptly stopped.

”What, is the ball over?” Harry instinctively turned his head to look.

However, when he clearly saw the situation at the dance floor, he froze in place.

The Tonkses, who had left not long ago, were lying on the ground barely conscious, and behind them was a group of figures wearing cloaks and masks.
