Because Theodore is dead, compensating him is cheap, and the Ministry of Magic does not care much about compensation for the dead.
But Jessica and Rayleigh are still alive, and they were imprisoned in Azkaban for eleven whole years.
Considering the enormous influence of this matter, the Ministry of Magic probably has to pay a sky-high compensation to smooth it over.
One day later, regarding the incident of Madam Jessica Travers and her son being thrown into Azkaban without trial, the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot issue a formal resolution:
Jessica Travers and Theodore Travers were coerced by You-Know-Who and participated in the Death Eater organization during the wizarding war.
Considering that the two committed no major crimes, their responsibility for their Death Eater’s identities will no longer be pursued.
Note: The Ministry of Magic has reached a compensation agreement with the Travers Family.
At the request of the relevant party, the compensation agreement is confidential.
Greatly reduce the number and authority of Dementors in Azkaban.
Increase the proportion of wizard management personnel and avoid relying on Dementors to suppress prisoners.
Add psychological counseling personnel to help Azkaban prisoners reform and return to society.
Give priority to the psychological needs of prisoners who suffered wrongful imprisonment.
Establish an independent Prisoner Rights Committee to regularly inspect Azkaban and protect prisoners’ basic rights to survival.
Accelerate the review of appeal cases for Azkaban prisoners and release those proven innocent or whose punishments are clearly unjust.
For the few who have been convicted and sincerely repent, consider appropriate humanitarian measures such as reducing sentences.
The Ministry of Magic will comprehensively review Azkaban’s management methods and treat all prisoners in a more humane and just manner.
During this investigation, the Ministry of Magic discovered that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the courtroom did indeed have problems of bypassing the law and carrying out private punishment.
Considering that it was during wartime and Aurors had the right to carry out special procedures, the following resolutions are now made regarding the relevant personnel:
Demote Barty Crouch.
Hold the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Magic courtroom accountable.
Strengthen internal oversight within the Ministry of Magic and set clear boundaries for the powers of officials at all levels to prevent abuse of authority.
Improve the Ministry of Magic’s disciplinary inspection system, focusing on supervising departments involving life and personal freedom to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Establish a public complaint channel for the Ministry of Magic so the public can appeal and supervise improper law enforcement behavior.
Regularly train all Ministry of Magic’s personnel in law enforcement regulations and procedures, strengthening the appropriate use of power.
Strengthen psychological counseling for law enforcement personnel to prevent extreme behavior.
The Ministry of Magic will rectify its internal management and resolutely prevent such dereliction of duty and misconduct from happening again.
Rayleigh and Jessica do not care about the Ministry of Magic’s resolution.
They wrote a long, grand statement, and the only useful part is that Jessica and her husband are completely innocent.
Regarding compensation, the Ministry of Magic has already drafted it and handed it to them through Dumbledore.
For the Headmaster’s sake, Jessica does not cling to the compensation agreement unilaterally drafted by the Ministry of Magic.
Compensation Agreement between the Ministry of Magic and the Travers Family.
In order to provide compensation and restore the reputation of the Travers Family, the Ministry of Magic decides to provide the following measures:
Economic Compensation Pay Rayleigh Travers economic compensation of 100,000 Galleons.
Compensation in Kind Return all of the Travers Family’s properties, land, and estates in Britain.
Provide Rayleigh and Jessica with a high-end community apartment in central London.
Educational Compensation Waive all tuition and living expenses for Rayleigh’s seven years at Hogwarts.
Provide Rayleigh with a full scholarship to study at a top magical school abroad.
Medical Compensation Provide Jessica and Rayleigh with free lifetime high-end magical medical services.
Provide five years of regular psychological counseling, which can be extended if necessary.
Employment Placement Provide Jessica with job opportunities suited to her professional background.
Actively recommend that Rayleigh apply for work at the Ministry of Magic after graduation.
Other Compensation The Ministry of Magic will publicly apologize in major wizarding newspapers.
The Ministry of Magic hopes that through the above measures, it can compensate the relevant personnel as much as possible for the losses they suffered, and wishes them happiness in their future lives.
The agreement is fairly sincere, but the details inside still need further negotiation.
Rayleigh watches Jessica sign her name on the agreement and realizes that the respected white wizard before him, the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Mr.
Albus Dumbledore, is not without selfish motives.
Rayleigh nestles against Jessica’s arm, and vigilance toward Dumbledore rises in his heart.
“Congratulations!” Lucius is indeed very happy.
Through this incident he has gained a great deal.
“What a pity that Buck’s murder of the McKinnon Family had conclusive evidence.
Otherwise, he could have been released from prison too.”
Quite a few members of pure-blood families have had their positions restored, and some will be released from Azkaban one after another.
As the power of pure-blood families is strengthened, Malfoy’s personal prestige is greatly raised.
Especially since the magical world believes You-Know-Who is dead, this makes Malfoy faintly the leader of pure-blood wizards.
Such high prestige makes Lucius lose himself.
He wants to establish an organization that only pure-blood families can join.
He has even thought of the organization’s name: the Ancient Magic Alliance, specifically used to discuss protecting wizarding bloodline and pure-blood interests.
Malfoy sighs regretfully: “Buck is still under life imprisonment, and your family vault key is still in his hands.”
He has heard a little about the Ministry of Magic’s compensation, but the Travers Family vault is the real big prize.
By conservative estimate, that wealth is no less than 5 million Galleons.
“Madam Jessica, considering that the inheritance of our pure-blood families is beginning to be lost, I am brewing the establishment of an organization that only pure-blood families can join.”
“The Ancient Magic Alliance.” Malfoy says mysteriously.
“Ancient magic represents the former glory of the wizarding world.
Through this alliance we can unite the power of pure-blood families and search for the lost ancient magic.”
“I believe that once the power of ancient magic is recovered, the status of wizards will rise again.” Malfoy has recently read quite a few books about Muggles.
He painfully discovers that modern wizards have already lost their absolute advantage over Muggles.
The power of one bomb destroying one city is something any wizard would find hard to block.
The imbalance of power represents a disorder of status.
As a pure-blood Malfoy, he absolutely will not allow himself to be trampled under Muggles’ feet.
So he becomes obsessed with pursuing the power of ancient magic.
He believes that once ancient magic is recovered, wizards can once again be high above others.
“I believe that once the power of ancient magic is recovered, the status of pure-blood wizards will definitely rise again.” Malfoy’s eyes reveal a mad fervor.
“Uncle Malfoy, does the alliance only have pure-blood families?” Rayleigh asks curiously.
“Absolutely!” Malfoy nods.
“Only our families have continued from the ancient magic era to today.
Only we have preserved the bloodline of ancient magic.
Apart from us, who else is qualified?”
“But that way, we will stand opposed to the entire magical world, and everyone will guard against us.”
Rayleigh offers his own thoughts.
“Why not use other standards?
For example, spells, potions…
As long as the core of the alliance is still controlled by pure-blood families, the more members the alliance has, the greater the power of the core figures.”
“If we really only recruit pure bloods, given the current sensitivity of the magical world…”
Faced with Rayleigh’s analysis, Malfoy also has to admit that the ideas within it are indeed thought-provoking.
“Uncle Malfoy, do you have a blueprint for the organizational structure?”
“Mm, still thinking it over…” Malfoy is somewhat embarrassed.
He cannot exactly say he has not thought it through yet.
He hurriedly says he has matters at home and rushes away.
“Ah, I have already thought up a whole set for you.” Rayleigh watches Malfoy flee without a trace and sighs regretfully.
“All right, go to bed early!
We still have to move tomorrow!” Jessica puts away the documents from Ministry of Magic.
She can see that if her son stays with Malfoy for long, something big will happen sooner or later.
“Tomorrow?” Rayleigh did not expect it to be so soon.
He still wanted to communicate more with ‘Uncle’ Malfoy.
“Yes.
Do not be fooled by the agreement saying the house is in London.
If we are late, the Ministry of Magic might delay it away.
Strike while the iron is hot, so they cannot push it back and forth.
Go rest quickly!”
