in addition to difficulty finding employment thanks to Dolores's anti-werewolf legislation,
caused some long-term problems that I worked very hard with the goblins to try to avoid.
They, for the record, are not very happy to know that they were manipulated by a witch to
be used against another group of beings," she added, knowing that the threat of the goblin
horde was not something to be taken lightly. "Luckily, I have a friend who works with
them and was able to speak on behalf of wizards and werewolves in order to prevent, you
know, another war."
Hyperion sighed. "And the goblins aren't willing to pay interest, I assume?"
"No, why should they? Nor are they willing to cover reparations that
I'm... demanding," she said, speaking carefully. "However, as Dolores Umbridge is on her
way to Azkaban, I can't imagine what the Wizengamot plans on doing with her vaults."
"You want us to just seize the woman's vaults?" Fudge shouted in shock.
"Why not? It's for reparations. Isn't that what the Ministry has seized Death Eater
vaults and properties for? To make amends for wrongs done to victims across Wizarding

ridiculous. But the interest should be paid off. And perhaps the rest should be donated to
the Werewolf Support Services to help fund actual aid that will be provided to lycanthropes
who can't afford the Wolfsbane Potion."
Damocles spoke up. "That won't be necessary. I've decided to release the patent to
several local Potions Masters in order to keep the price as low as possible. Though, I'd like
to create a programme that offers it for free to those who can't afford to pay at all. That
money could instead be put to good use by purchasing the ingredients."
Mia smiled at her old friend with genuine gratitude.
"Put it in the notes," Kingsley said to Percy.
"Speaking of reparations and Death Eater properties." Draco stood up. "As many
of you know, I've been waiting for quite some time for Malfoy Manor to be returned to
me, and there appears to have been a bit of a holdup."
Parkinson glared at Draco, clearly holding a personal grudge against the young
wizard who had somehow worked his way out of a betrothal contract to his daughter,
Pansy. "Malfoy Manor is being set aside to cover the costs of reparations for the victims
of Lucius Malfoy, known Death Eater."
