28 Ministry Troubles

After Ron found the solution to making Muggle Devices work in places with high concentration of Magic, he added it to the list of Treasures people could but at their shop. And unlike the time they first opened their shop and needed to drum up interest for their then new products, there was no need for it this time. For the Wizards and Witches who had just gone through a war and had managed to survive, the Healing and Protection Runic objects, alongside High Level Healing Potions and even Magical Suitcases with added protection were a good investment for their family's safety. Many families had died under the hands of the Death Eaters and maybe just a single Defensive Magical Treasure could have saved their lives but Magical Treasures aren't cheap and there was also not a big supply of them either. But now they had the chance to ensure an extra layer of protection for their family and that too at an affordable price. Thus the popularity of the shop boomed after their first promotion through the Ministry and a couple of ads in `The Daily Prophet'. But there was a limit to how many Healing and Protection Runic objects, Potions and Magical Suitcases a family needed and thus that boom died down but the other low level Potions and Runic Objects were still making the shop a decent amount of money.

At this time, when Europe's Wizard World finally had a break from war, pain and suffering, they were introduced to a new source of entertainment and once again, the shop's popularity skyrocketed to new heights. But this time, the boom would persist for a much longer time as there was simply too many Muggle Devices and they had one for almost all ages. Besides getting the Technology to work and also selling it in the shop, Ron alongside the other kids and Sirius and Remus all brought home Muggle Games and of course everyone was having a lot of fun with them. And so, a few weeks after Ron announced his solution for the Muggle Technology, led by Percy, the other kids announced their own invention. They had turned one of the Muggle Games and created a Wizard version of it, and hence the world welcomed Magic Monopoly! It was an exact copy of the game but suited for the Wizard world, instead of Muggle Money, you played with Wizard Money, instead of buying Muggle Land, you bought Wizard land and built Wizard Landmarks but unlike normal Monopoly, some of the blocks were cursed and if your item landed on it, you get Jinxed! Alongside some other tweaks, the Magic Monopoly game was made and everyone was here for it, some more than others.

``Oh my god this is amazing! It looks so much fun, I wanna play a game right now.'' Although it sounded like a child demanding to play the game, it was actually Sirius and he actually grabbed the board and began to set it up but the second the Box was opened, the contents flew out and the game began to set itself up and Ron once again felt proud of his family and friend. While everyone at Ottery St, Devon was having fun and were busy playing games, some `people' at the Ministry were shouting and cursing at the Minister of Magic for letting, ``that filth contaminate our world'' and for ``not doing anything while the Muggles planned to take over their world.''. Normally, the cowardly Minister would have been asking for their forgiveness but after giving the `Wizard World's well-wishers' five minutes to vent, he kicked them out!! ``How dare you Cornelius?! Do you think that you being the Minister would protect you from the combined might of Eight Pure-blood Wizard Families?!!''. Although Lucius immediately regretted threatening the Minister of Magic, in the Ministry, he still thought of himself in the higher position and with the other Families standing up with him, he wanted to continue shouting threats at Cornelius but stopped himself as he heard someone knock on the door and recognised the voice, ``Sorry to interrupt the meeting, Minister but I and a few other individuals would like to discuss some business with you.''

The person who spoke had immense sway in the Wizard World, for both his political and magical power and he wasn't alone and was joined by a few of the other Heavy Hitters of the Wizard World. Albus Dumbledore standing alongside Arthur Weasley, Amos Diggory, Augusta Longbottom, Kinglsley Shacklebolt, Rufus Scrimgeour and a few other Light Magic Families wasn't a surprising sight but besides those people, Dumbledore was also joined by , Eon Macmillan, Gareth Greengrass and Pollux Black!! The sight of Cornelius behaving like the authority figure he was, was nothing compared to the sight of seeing all of these heavy hitters at once and apparently standing on the same side as well! Pollux looked at the young `Family Heads' of the Pure Blood families in front of him and sighed at the sight of them. None of them were qualified to sit on their mantle but had gotten to do it with the help of Voldemort, they lacked both the experience and the Magical and Mental Training needed to become a Family Head. All they could do was use the wealth their families had accumulated for centuries and waste it on manipulating the Ministry and the Wizard population. ``Lucius, I would recommend that you take your friends and leave. Because the next time you threaten the Minister of Magic in the Ministry he heads, I will have to get my Aurors to help you make a trip to some rather unpleasant places. Oh and by the way, if I find that some of your rats are trying to get into any of Ministry Departments through unscrupulous means, I don't like to repeat myself but they and you will be staying at some cold and damp places for some time.''

Just hearing the first warning from the Head of Magical Law Enforcement was enough to make Lucius leave but the second one almost gave him a heart attack!
