Chapter 451 A New Revolution in the Magical World! Prisons, Training, and Reward Distribution!
This has been roughly the situation inside Hogwarts for the past two weeks.
Outside of Hogwarts, many new changes are also taking place in the British wizarding world.
First, reform of wizard prisons.
When Dudley went to Azkaban to collect souls, he had the idea of reforming the wizard prison, and later he relayed the idea to Old Dumbledore.
Old Deng then relayed the feedback to Minister Kingsley.
Recently, this idea has been put into practice.
From then on, only the most heinous wizards convicted and sentenced to never leave prison would be sent to Azkaban, where a small number of Dementors resided, to be punished.
Those wizard criminals who committed lesser crimes would be imprisoned in a regular wizard prison, guarded by Aurors.
After the reform was announced, Dudley, along with Dumbledore and several mid- to high-ranking members of the Ministry of Magic, went to Azkaban and the renovated normal prison to set up an incredibly strong anti-escape barrier and a large number of restrictive spells.
Dudley also silently added a passive conceptual repair spell, ensuring that the barrier and restriction magic would never fail, and that the remaining Dementors of Azkaban would never be able to leave the range of Azkaban's barrier.
It can be said that as long as these two prisons hold people and not gods, there will be absolutely no possibility of escape, and there will be no chance of anything going wrong.
Second, the continuing education program for adult white wizards in the wizarding world is underway.
As the story of the Hogwarts founder's blessing spread and became deeply ingrained in people's minds, more and more wizards saw the younger Hogwarts professors and the resurrected wizards.
The fire in the hearts of adult white wizards in the magical world was ignited, and it burned ever brighter.
With the temptations of extending lifespan, restoring youth, and resurrecting deceased relatives and friends, few adults can remain unmoved.
At first, everyone was eager to join Hogwarts and try to benefit from the blessing, but the high entry requirements of Hogwarts deterred wizards.
It must be said that the overall level of wizards in modern times is pitifully low, incredibly incompetent.
In the original story, the Ironclad Charm, the most commonly used and easiest defensive spell for wizards, was surprisingly unusable by many adult wizards.
Either they didn't learn it while they were at Hogwarts, or they learned it while they were there but forgot it after graduation and gave it back to the professors.
If even magic that can save your life in battle falls into this category, then other, more advanced offensive and defensive spells are even more so.
Even more outrageous is that in the original story, the Ministry of Magic actually wanted to purchase anti-curse hats and anti-curse gloves made by the Weasley twins for the Aurors.
It wasn't a high-level magical item; it could only deflect some minor curses, and its use was quite demanding—you had to keep your eyes on the enemy.
The Ministry of Magic purchasing such magical items for Aurors is like a Muggle sheriff buying toy guns and helmets from a toy store to serve as duty equipment.
This indirectly confirms that a significant number of Aurors are unable to achieve the intended effects of anti-curse hats and anti-curse gloves using their own magical abilities, indicating that their strength has reached a very worrying level.
Given that wizards in the magical world are generally incompetent, yet have developed a strong desire to turn their fortunes around, the continuing education training program that Old Man Dumbledore had previously proposed to the Ministry of Magic for has gained the attention of most ordinary wizards.
Soon, the Ministry of Magic's desks were overflowing with application forms.
The continuing education training session was quickly filled with participants for the first phase.
Hogwarts has received feedback from the Ministry of Magic.
After the first month of the semester ends, Hogwarts will send two practical instructors to select a suitable venue to provide high-level spellcasting and combat skills instruction to the adult wizarding students of the first continuing education training program.
On the day Dudley went to confront Death, a large number of white wizards who had died in the past were resurrected, and afterwards Voldemort reappeared, gathering Death Eaters to stir up trouble.
This has further fueled the desire of adult wizards in the magical world to improve their strength to a new level.
In everyone's view, the effects of the Hogwarts founder's blessing have gone beyond the scope of Hogwarts and can influence the magical world of various countries.
They don't need to compete fiercely to get into Hogwarts; they might even enjoy the blessing. What reason do they have not to work hard?
At this crucial moment, Voldemort, of all people, has to come out and cause trouble. Isn't he a perfect target?
The white wizards who died fighting Grindelwald and Voldemort have been resurrected.
This suggests that as long as dark wizards are combated and order in the wizarding world is maintained, it is possible to gain the favor of the founder of Hogwarts with a blessing spell.
If they increase their strength and fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters, wouldn't they have a high chance of becoming younger and resurrecting their deceased relatives and friends?
Even if you die in the process, there is a high chance that you will be resurrected by the blessing magic of the founder of Hogwarts. It is a sure-fire way to make money.
During this period, there were also instances where Master Ollivander and Deegar became younger to varying degrees shortly after defeating Voldemort.
This was like adding fuel to the fire, igniting the ambition of the white wizards in the magical world.
Therefore, relying solely on continuing education training sessions, held one after another, is no longer sufficient to meet the growing learning needs of wizards in the magical world.
Many ordinary wizards with average abilities were unable to join the first continuing education training session and sought other ways out.
He began to frequently visit powerful white wizards in the wizarding world, those other than Hogwarts faculty and staff and Ministry of Magic members, hoping to receive their guidance.
These powerful individuals generally share a common identity: they are members of the Phoenix Order.
They are either members of the Order of the Phoenix who have survived to this day, or members of the Order of the Phoenix who have died and been resurrected.
Dali and Old Deng were happy to see this happen.
Initially, they tacitly allowed these members of the Order of the Phoenix to contact wizards who came seeking their guidance. After a period of adjustment, they would establish wizard dueling clubs in various wizarding communities throughout the British wizarding world.
Members of the Order of the Phoenix will serve as instructors to normalize and formalize the training of adult wizards in spells and combat skills.
To comprehensively improve the level of wizards throughout the British magical community.
Third, the confiscation of the properties and wealth acquired by the corrupt pure-blood families began to benefit the entire British magical community.
As Dudley had previously planned, this wealth would be used to reward meritorious white wizards and to provide a safety net for the material needs of all white wizards.
To reward the white wizards for their contributions, Old Deng first used the Pensieve to review his relevant memories one by one, drafted a detailed list, and then convened a large meeting.
The meeting invited members of the Order of the Phoenix, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, and respected elder wizards from the wizarding world to participate. Everyone openly reviewed the list, identified any omissions, and voted to determine the reward levels for each person on the list.
The final list determined at the meeting was also checked by Dali using his conceptual perception ability to confirm that there were no omissions or biases before it was gradually implemented and the rewards were distributed.
For nearly a century, all white wizards in the British wizarding world who have made contributions have received their due rewards.
These rewards include Galleons, magical items, shops, magical animal farms, magical herb plantations, and more.
However, the industry-related rewards only award varying amounts of shares and management rights, not a complete transfer of ownership.
All confiscated properties of corrupt pure-blood families will retain a portion of Hogwarts assets as public property.
To ensure that Hogwarts continues to receive a steady stream of educational funding in addition to the Ministry of Magic's grants even after the loss of donations from the Board of Governors.
