The Admiral of Hogwarts

Hugo admired Hood's approach immensely. Even though her subordinates were using magic to handle matters involving ordinary people, it couldn't be considered illegal from a certain point of view.

This was because the wizards worked in Hood's magical establishments and didn't perform magic in front of Muggles, thus fully complying with the prerequisites for wizarding as outlined in the Secrecy Laws. The Ministry of Magic had indeed sent people to inspect their work, but Hood had successfully fobbed them off.

Of course, Hood's ability to fob them off was closely related to the fact that Arthur Weasley was the inspector. He had heard stories from his children about Veneto and Hood, the older sister who raised Veneto, so he was naturally more inclined to favor Hood during the inspection, subconsciously turning a blind eye.

According to Hood, she employed these down-on-their-luck wizards as a wizard. Unless caught with conclusive evidence of serious violations, she had no obligation to report her business secrets to the Ministry of Magic, even if everyone knew what was happening here.

As someone who had worked in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, Arthur Weasley naturally knew these tricks. Although Hood's current approach was skirting the edge, technically violating the Secrecy Laws, Arthur indicated that he could turn a blind eye.

After all, those pure-blood families and Gringotts still maintained trade relations with the Muggle world after the Secrecy Laws came into effect, simply using a series of means to circumvent them. As far as the Ministry of Magic was concerned, as long as these wealthy people's actions didn't seriously expose the existence of the magical world, they would turn a blind eye.

Most of the people arrested for violating the Secrecy Laws were ordinary people who had accidentally broken the law, except for certain particularly reckless pure-blood family members. Even in many cases, those reckless pure-blood family members would be quietly let off by the Ministry of Magic.

Mr. Weasley had always felt uncomfortable with this situation, but because he had always been on the fringes of the Ministry of Magic, he couldn't change anything even if he was unhappy. But now, Hood's actions made him see some possibility of change.

Because in Mr. Weasley's view, those unemployed people were a very obvious destabilizing factor in the magical world. And because of the existence of magic, these people wouldn't starve, so they had enough energy to cause trouble. And although Hood's approach was not well-received by everyone in the wizarding world, and even suspected of violating the Secrecy Laws, it could at least provide jobs to everyone legally as much as possible, preventing more people from becoming dark wizards, which he thought was very good.

Mr. Weasley felt that compared to the pure-blood families using loopholes in the law to seize benefits for themselves, Hood's approach of extending a helping hand to others was much better for the wizarding world. Therefore, he felt that he could slightly overlook Hood's minor violations of the Secrecy Laws.

So, after the inspection, he fully agreed that Hood and her Muggle cleaning team could continue to operate, except for suggesting that warning spells be set up outside the rooms where the wizards worked to prevent them from being discovered by Muggles. And when he left, he particularly encouraged Hood, hoping that she would continue this work.

"We should indeed thank Mr. Weasley for his help," Hugo said after listening to Hood's introduction, then he asked curiously. "I think this method of making money in the ordinary world using magic shouldn't be too difficult to think of, so why hasn't anyone done it before?"

"Who says no one has," Hood said, widening her eyes. "Those guys who do manual labor or technical work in the ordinary world use magic to help themselves while avoiding ordinary people. But I should be the first to gather more than a dozen people to work together like this."

"As for the reason why no one did this before, it's very simple, because those Muggle-borns and more down-on-their-luck half-blood wizards don't have enough capital in either the wizarding world or the ordinary world, and the long-term magical world life has also changed some of their ideas, so even if they live in the ordinary world, they just work alone."

"For example, the group of wizards gathered under me now only gathered during this semester. At the beginning, there were actually only one or two people. Later, after I revealed my identity and arranged more suitable work for them, they pulled in a lot of friends one by one, so they gathered to the current scale."

Speaking of this, Hood showed a certain proud expression on her face and then said. "Of course, this is only the first step. After having a salary, these wizards will definitely not be satisfied with living an ordinary life, but will hope to continue to advance on the path of wizards. At that time, I can use these wizards as a springboard to start infiltrating the magical world."

It must be said that Hood's plan is indeed very good, at least compared to rushing into the magical world and triggering a series of unpredictable results, Hugo feels that her approach can be said to be steady and steady, and can slowly complete the infiltration of the magical world with the most inconspicuous approach.

"This plan sounds very good, you've been really working hard recently." Looking at Hood looking at him with a pleading look after finishing the plan, Hugo immediately praised Hood. "By the way, when do you think those people will take the initiative to propose returning to the magical world?"

"I think it's very likely after Christmas," Hood said after thinking for a while. "Because after they have this fixed job, all daily expenses can be paid in pounds, and the exchanged Galleons can all be used for things related to magic. But it is clear that it is definitely not enough for them to spend just relying on the annual exchange limit."

"You're right, once many things start, it's hard to stop. Especially for those who have lived a good life, they definitely don't want to go back to a bad life." Hugo nodded to express his agreement with Hood's statement. "At least for the wizards, if there is a chance, they will definitely be happy to create a future for themselves in the magical world. Even if not for themselves, they will at least think about their children."

According to some information obtained by Hood, the probability of wizards' children being wizards is very high, which has nothing to do with whether their origin is pure-blood or Muggle. On the other hand, the probability of wizards appearing in the offspring of wizards and Muggles also exceeds half. Under such circumstances, unless they are determined to be single or childless, the wizards under Hood now will inevitably make some plans for their future.

In the following period of time, Hugo and Hood roughly discussed the future development direction. With the addition of five new Soviet-type ship girls, Hood will re-formulate the work for the next semester, and the progress of various plans will be greatly accelerated.

"By the way, I remember you still have 3 destiny points left. Do you have any plans for these points?" After learning from the Admiral Network that Hermione was about to come downstairs, Hugo and the others quickly ended their discussion and prepared to leave the game room. But just as he was about to go out, Hood suddenly asked him an important question.
