Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 452 The White Wizard's Livelihood! A Raid on the Department of Mysteries!

After calculation, even after rewarding the white wizards who had rendered meritorious service in the past, the remaining wealth and assets of the corrupt pure-blood families that had been confiscated were still considerable.

Besides contributing to the education of the wizarding world as public property of Hogwarts, about half of these assets and wealth will be used to ensure a minimum standard of living for white wizards in the British wizarding world.

At Dudley's suggestion, Old Man Dumbledore instructed the Ministry of Magic to establish the Department of Wizarding Medical Care and the Department of Wizarding Subsistence.

The directors were Lucius and Narcissa.

They are responsible for providing medical care and living allowances to impoverished white wizards.

The Wizarding Medical Security Division and the Wizarding Living Allowance Division provide assistance in ways that go beyond simply giving money to impoverished white wizards.

Many businesses belonging to decadent pure-blood families were also transferred to these two departments, which not only provided a steady stream of funds for their public accounts but also created a number of jobs for them.

White wizards, who originally worked for the corrupt pure-blood family's businesses, were promoted and given raises based on their abilities and character, occupying the middle and upper management positions vacated by the corrupt pure-blood wizards after their death or departure.

The basic positions vacated after the job adjustments can be provided to impoverished white wizards, achieving a similar effect to work relief.

In addition, the two newly established departments, the Wizarding Medical Security Department and the Wizarding Living Allowance Department, also need some staff.

After recruiting some outstanding white wizards, their original job positions will become vacant.

In this way, it also provides more job opportunities for other white wizards.

……

Having covered what happened at Hogwarts and in the wizarding world over the past two weeks, there are some matters that can be described as Dudley's personal affairs, but also as public matters concerning all wizards and even all living beings, which must be mentioned.

One day during the past two weeks, Dudley teleported alone to the Department of Mysteries, the highest-secret agency on the ninth floor of the British Ministry of Magic.

After he arrived, he didn't waste any time with unnecessary words.

First, they forcibly collected all the magical research materials from the Department of Mysteries, including the magical knowledge in the minds of all the silent people working in the Department of Mysteries.

after that.

He took the SSS-level magical item from the execution chamber—the physical Death Curtain left behind by the Grim Reaper;

They took away all the time converters stored in the Time Hall; they were all SS-grade magical items.

They took away the 'Brain in a Vase' stored in the brain hall. This was also an SS-level magical item. It was a huge tank filled with dark green liquid and some brains. The brains inside were sentient beings with mental tentacles that could reach out and strangle people.

They took the entire Love Hall;

This is a room that is always locked, and it is impossible for anyone below the level of a legendary wizard to open it. It contains what can be called the greatest and most mysterious power: 'love'.

To put it simply, this room contains an incredibly powerful force of love, left behind by the ancient wizard who created the 'Love Protection Magic'.

After passing through many hands, it was eventually acquired by the original British Ministry of Magic, along with the room and the power of love within it.

This old house was entirely bricked up and placed on the ninth basement level when the Ministry of Magic was built, becoming the Love Hall of the Department of Mysteries.

At the same time, 'love' has become the most mysterious category of magical research in the Department of Mysteries.

After Dudley's ransacking, only the Planetary Room, which studies 'space,' and the Prophecy Hall, which studies 'prophecy,' were spared from destruction within the Department of Mysteries.

The reason was that there was no "profit" in those two rooms that Dudley would find appealing.

The Planetary Chamber is a magical room that simulates a space environment.

Inside, it was a weightless, pitch-black place, dotted with planets constructed of magic, which were constantly evolving, exploding, and being reborn.

Dudley has already obtained the Department of Mysteries' research findings on space-related magic, and he can create the Planetary Chamber himself, so it's useless to him.

The Hall of Prophecy contains prophetic crystal balls that record the contents of past prophecies, including the Savior prophecy related to Harry.

But these crystal balls were useless to Dudley, so there was no need for him to touch them.

After completing the raid on the Department of Mysteries, Dali used a conceptual restoration spell to erase the memories of all those who knew about it.

It's as if the Department of Mysteries has never had things like physical death-guiding curtains, time-changers, brains in jars, or love rooms.

After that, Dudley used his conceptual perception ability to sense everything in the world that had the ability to travel through time.

He activated his teleportation ability, locating and teleporting around the world to collect time converters in other places, as well as several remaining ancient time-reversal arrays in China.

Along with the magical items looted from the Department of Mysteries, they were all stored in his personal space.

Next, Dudley cast two conceptual restoration spells on the world.

The first step is to completely erase everyone's understanding of time travel.

The second method is to establish a permanent, fixed mechanism by reversing related research approaches, thus eliminating the possibility for later researchers to develop time-space travel magic and magical items with time-space travel capabilities.

From this day forward, no one will ever remember that there were ever magical items or formations in this world that could allow people to travel back in time.

No one can bring time travel back to life.

This is the public service that Dudley does for the world, in addition to his personal business of acquiring high-level magical items.

Go back to the past, change the past, and thereby change the present and the future.

If there were no side effects, no time paradoxes, and Dudley didn't possess the ability to resurrect, he would be happy to do such a thing.

The problem is, there are no "what ifs".

The timeline is something that affects everything.

A time converter is barely usable if you use it to go back five hours or less without changing anything in the past, just to give yourself more usable time.

But once you get the idea to change the past, especially to go back to the distant past and change things that are already well-known to people today, things will inevitably get worse and worse. The more beautiful your idea, the harder you will fall.

Even if fate smiles upon them and the protagonist is blessed with a destiny that allows them to change the past and have a better present and future.

How can we know whether the original spacetime has truly changed, or whether the timeline has been altered, resulting in a new parallel universe?

Are the friends and relatives in the new timeline the same friends and relatives you know?

These questions are enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about them.

Therefore, Dudley never intended to use the time-travel converter to go back in time and do anything.

Even before he learned about the concept spell, he had never considered using the time converter.

If this thing really worked, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Voldemort, Snape, and all other capable wizards would have used it to change the regrets of their past.

Now, through its own efforts and with the help of the system, Dali has created a very perfect situation.

He especially doesn't want to see anyone using a time-travel converter or something similar to go back in time, change the past, and thus cause changes in the present.

Although he had already asked the system, he was told that his conceptual abilities would not be lost due to changes in the past, and that even if someone tampered with time and space, he could restore the tampered time and space at any time.

But since he can solve the problem at its root, why wait until an accident happens before dealing with it?
