Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 435 Consolidating the spoils of war! The secrets of the Fairy Clan!

At a spot on the edge of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, Dudley's clone and Dudley's original body completed their handover.

Subsequently, using his conceptual perception ability to pinpoint Voldemort's current location, his clone teleported there again, continuing to monitor and subtly influence her from the shadows.

Meanwhile, Dudley himself began to deal with the pure-blooded wizards who had gone astray but whom he had forcibly corrected, as well as the five house-elves as spoils of war.

Dudley sensed what the young wizards were thinking.

They discovered that their efforts had not been in vain, and they were all prepared to learn from their mistakes and embark on a brand new journey in life.

Therefore, Dudley used a conceptual restoration charm to restore the memories of these young wizards' past learning of magic at Hogwarts, instructed them to keep a low profile, and allowed them to return to Slytherin and start their studies at Hogwarts anew.

As for the five house-elves, Dudley removed the magical pacts they had previously signed with the Death Eaters and erased their memories of serving the Death Eaters.

They were given false memories of serving as students at Hogwarts and had to sign new magical contracts with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As a result, the Hogwarts house-elf service team gained five new members.

Dudley informed the house-elves in the Hogwarts underground kitchens to take the five new members back.

In Dudley's mind, there has always been a completely different approach to dealing with humans and other species like house-elves.

This has nothing to do with good or evil, it's just a matter of perspective.

……

In the following days, news of the battle between the surrendered wizards and the Death Eaters spread throughout the wizarding world through the Daily Prophet.

Some of the magical photos taken by Dudley's clone using a portable magic camera were also published in the newspaper.

After this battle, the white wizards of the British wizarding world officially accepted the surrendered wizards led by the Malfoys.

This acceptance became even more fervent and genuine after learning that the surrendered wizards would hand over 90% of their wealth to improve the living conditions and education of white wizards in the magical world.

At the same time, Voldemort, also known as Voldemort the Witch, and the Death Eaters who fled with her were all put on the Ministry of Magic's wanted list, becoming rats that everyone wanted to kill.

With the active cooperation and assistance of the surrendered wizards, the Malfoys quickly inventoried the wealth of the corrupt pure-blood faction and transferred ownership to Hogwarts under Dumbledore's leadership.

Among these, the corrupt pure-blood families with surrendered wizards can retain ten percent of the wealth.

The extinct, decaying pure-blood families, and those whose only survivors are Death Eaters, had all their property and wealth forcibly confiscated.

Throughout this process, with Dumbledore personally supporting them, they encountered no resistance whatsoever.

In other words, the goblins of Gringotts were very unhappy.

In the past, if all members of a family died out, their wealth stored in Gringotts' underground vaults was assumed to belong to the goblins.

Although this was only a unilateral acquiescence by the Gringotts goblins, and only a acquiescence at that, the goblins were bound by a magical contract and could not access the wizard's vault on their own.

Fairies are ancient and magical creatures that are intelligent, greedy, ambitious, and highly skilled.

The earliest wand-making skills, magical item-making skills, and even the use of magic and magical power were all learned by early wizards from fairies.

Throughout history, there have been many great battles between fairies and wizards.

The outcome of the great battle was obvious: the wizards emerged victorious.

The defeated fairies were stripped of their right to use wands. Some were tamed and became house-elves, serving the wizards; others were assimilated into wizarding society, taking on roles such as bankers.

During the era when wizards were dominant, the fairies launched several rebellions, but all of them ended in failure.

From a wizard's perspective, the fairy species should be completely exterminated.

But the reality today is clearly not like that.

The answer can be found in the information that Dali currently has.

It's not that the wizards didn't want to exterminate the fairy species, but rather that the fairies' ability to adapt to their environment was too strong, making them difficult to completely eradicate.

Fairies are magical creatures capable of rapid adaptive evolution based on their environment. In Britain, a fairy is a fairy, but in the Americas, a fairy becomes a pukchi, which is more adapted to jungle warfare.

The founders of the American Ilvarmani School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Isolde Thayer, and her Muggle husband James Stewart, had a Pukch friend named William.

To commemorate William, Pukchi School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, at Stuart's suggestion, established Pukchi Academy as one of the four major academies.

That's a bit of a tangent.

In conclusion, fairies are highly adaptable and capable of evolution, and the small number of wizards cannot eradicate the fairy species.

Since we can't eliminate them, we need to think about how to get along with them.

The wizards chose a combination of taming and corruption with money.

Domestication refers to raising house-elves, which needs no further explanation.

There's also the theory of money corrupting people: wizards exploit the fairies' innate miserly nature, making them manage the wizards' treasury.

As a result, the fairies spent all their time with accounts and scales, and were deprived of the right to use wands, naturally lacking the time and energy to study and practice magic, thus reducing their threat level.

This is one of the reasons why there have been no more demon rebellions in modern times.

At the same time, even without fairies, wizards still need someone to manage the bank and treasury.

To ensure that the Wizard Bank's assets are not misappropriated or embezzled, the bank's managers would certainly need to sign numerous magical contracts to restrict such activities.

Few wizards are willing to sign a harsh magical contract for a job.

It's quite different when it comes to fairies. First, fairies are willing to accept such magical contracts in order to stay by the treasure's side. Second, defeated fairies have no other choice.

For these reasons, the position of manager of a wizarding bank like Gringotts fell to the goblins.

In addition, some wizards will join Gringotts as lower-level employees who do not have to take on too much responsibility. This is also one of the measures taken by wizards to monitor the goblins.

Closer to home.

In wizarding society, the goblins, whose status is neither here nor there, cannot, even if they are unwilling, pose any obstacle to Dumbledore and the Malfoys' actions of transferring and handing over the corrupt pure-blood family property.

The vigorous asset seizure operation has come to a successful conclusion.

We await further actions to reuse this wealth.

In the past few days, Voldemort and her Death Eaters have disappeared without a trace and have not caused any more trouble.

It's as if they've been beaten into submission, or perhaps they're brewing some new, big move.
