In the early 1990s, perhaps the last truly innocent era.

And the wizards living in the magical world were even more simple and naive than Ailiana had imagined.

In the following weeks, the financial storm that had swept through the wizarding world receded as quickly as it had arrived. People became more vigilant and occasionally cursed the damned remnants of the Dark Lord, but normal life quickly returned to its original track, and the worst-case scenario of mass hysteria did not occur.

This was mainly thanks to the joint statement issued by Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic, and Gringotts, which stabilized the situation in time.

Following discussions between Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, a huge sum of money was obtained by mortgaging Hogwarts, which was then injected into Gringotts Wizarding Bank in the form of debt-to-equity swaps, replenishing the capital chain.

At the same time, the magical world began to promote the exchange of the "Hogwarts-Galleon" and the "Gringotts Native Galleon." From then on, goblins could no longer issue galleons indiscriminately; each new "Hog-Galleon" represented a share of Gringotts.

On the other hand, the Gringotts Goblin Elder Council, which had secretly colluded with dark forces and signed a contract with Peter Pettigrew to mortgage Hogwarts, also publicly announced the dissolution of the council on the day after the public trial, with the young Goblin Queen taking charge of the new Gringotts.

The information that the wizarding world could obtain about this Goblin Queen was limited, just as the Ministry of Magic's understanding of the Gringotts Goblin Elder Council had been limited to the names of individual elders.

According to the information revealed by Gringotts, and the photos provided by the goblins of the Goblin Queen's throne, the content that people could deduce could be roughly summarized into the following points: woman, dwarf, foreigner.

Of course, the Minister for Magic and a handful of senior officials knew a little more about the inside story, such as the Goblin Queen's name being "Bronya," and that she was not a goblin born in Britain, but came from a more mysterious place.

Judging from the reaction of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, this young Goblin Queen clearly possessed intelligence and authority no less than that of the former Elder Council. She gained the unanimous support of all Gringotts goblins almost overnight, and there were no disharmonious voices during the entire reorganization of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Most importantly, the new Goblin Queen demonstrated a completely different friendly attitude from the former Gringotts as soon as she took office, as well as the amazing courage that the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding world greatly admired – Her Majesty's first order was to "rewind time" back to the afternoon of April 1st, so that the amount of money deposited in Gringotts by all wizards in the magical world would be reset according to the records at that time.

At the same time, Gringotts Wizarding Bank also formally severed ties with the Gringotts American Branch, which had been "renamed" as the "All-American Federal Magical Reserve System," acknowledging its independent status in the international and financial fields, and declared war.

Unless the "Magical Fed" returned all the galleons defrauded from the European continent, Gringotts Wizarding Bank would spare no effort to impose financial sanctions on it in the world arena. Even if the process might be particularly tortuous and lengthy, with the support of the Tianming Group, Hogwarts, and the entire European magical world, justice would eventually prevail.

As the mastermind of the financial fraud, Voldemort's secret strategist, and the wizarding world's most patient schemer – Peter Pettigrew, after being tried by the Wizengamot, was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. On the advice of Albus Dumbledore, he was also dressed in a specially made straitjacket to prevent him from transforming into a rat and escaping from prison.

After a public vote on the Lestrange family vault, Gringotts decided to follow the advice of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, confiscating all the assets in the vault to compensate for the damage and sequelae caused to the magical world by Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix Lestrange, and others. The jewelry, utensils, and magical items that could not be directly distributed were uniformly valued by Gringotts and purchased by Hogwarts, converted into equivalent galleons, and handed over to the Ministry of Magic for unified distribution.

With the influx of a large sum of galleons, and the reputation gained from turning the tide in a crisis, Cornelius Fudge's mood had been particularly wonderful these days. Every time he encountered other employees in the Ministry of Magic, his face was filled with a thick smile.

The decision on compensation for Sirius Black was finally finalized.

In addition to revoking his sentence, the Ministry of Magic originally intended to award him a First Class Order of Merlin as a reward, but Black refused on the grounds that he "had not made a contribution, but had instead made a mistake, so he was unworthy." After several discussions, the Ministry of Magic decided to grant Black an exemption from "non-major criminal cases."

In other words, unless Sirius Black publicly used an Unforgivable Curse, or other serious criminal cases, he had the right to use this exemption to revoke one of the Ministry of Magic's prosecutions against him.

Of course, Dumbledore privately gave Sirius a particularly serious warning that sneaking into Azkaban to murder the prisoners held there was not within the scope of this exemption, and that he still needed to shoulder the responsibilities of a godfather.

In addition, there was an unexpected surprise, that with the public revelation of the fact that Tom Riddle was Voldemort, coupled with the subsequent investigation and questioning by the Ministry of Magic Aurors, all the honors that had once fallen on Tom Riddle were also revoked. As a result, Rubeus Hagrid, who had been framed by him, also became the earliest hero to fight against Voldemort.

However, for Hagrid, this beauty not only came a little late, but also…

"Mr. Hagrid, please don't be distracted! These, these, and these, are all content that must be remembered. If you don't want to start from the first year next year, then at least you can't fall too far behind in the basic written test."

In the small wooden house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hermione tapped the wooden table in front of her with some dissatisfaction. The table was piled with notes from various subjects that had been marked with various colors, as well as a detailed review plan that looked a little daunting.

As the school's recognized academic genius, and one of the little wizards with the best relationship with Hagrid, since learning that Hagrid needed to take a comprehensive written test to determine the year he would be starting to study again at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry next year, Hermione had taken the initiative to help Hagrid develop a review plan. Of course, in addition to her, there was also Percy Weasley.

After all, in terms of high-grade courses, she had only barely previewed the content of the second year, and she did not understand many knowledge points thoroughly enough to be able to repeat them without a mistake, like the first-year textbook.

"Oh, Hermione, have mercy on me… Anyway, Professor Dumbledore said that it is possible to pass even if I fail…"

"Accurately speaking, it is P or above," Hermione retorted quickly. "Hogwarts' grading is divided into six levels: Outstanding (O), Exceeds Expectations (E), Acceptable (A), Poor (P), Dreadful (D), and Troll (T). Your special treatment just allows you to move down one grade compared to other students, but if you reach D, you still have to retake the course."

As the girl spoke, she looked at the big gamekeeper in front of her with a stern look, the kind of familiar look that made Rubeus Hagrid seem to see a miniature version of Professor McGonagall in a trance.

Hagrid hesitated for a moment, looked at Hermione Granger, and said in a low voice with some uncertainty.

"But… but I heard that little girl Ailiana say that there is actually an easier way to cope with the exam…"
