Starting tomorrow, we'll be creating a new ministry. I want you all to think how to best help. There will be some splitting duties because we do have a school to run as well.

Things that we need immediately: (all names are temporary and can be changed. Feel free to give suggestions

- Wizengamot: It will NOT be the large 50 people, get a job based on connections. We need about 5 people who can write the laws we need. These laws will be voted on by all members of the ministry (at least until we get too big. (Chief Warlock: Regulus Black. Members: Hermione Granger
- Relations with Magical Creature - Remus Lupin
- Agriculture and Food - Cassandra Trelawney
- International Magical Law - This will be big because we need a representative at the Confederation, plus at least one or two ambassadors, if they allow us to leave.
- Treasury - Kirley Duke
- Commerce - Lucius Malfoy
- MLE - Ron Weasley

Things not related to the ministry that we still need:
- Search for the clues
- Cataloguing everything we have taken from Hogsmeade and London
- a Healer
- Teachers for the school

I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty that we need. Feel free to a) answer with ideas and b) apply for jobs. Don't tell me 'I'm happy to do anything'. Think about it and tell me where do you see yourself working.

ADDED LATER: Everyone should have an 8 hours a day so make sure that if your 'job' doesn't require that much time, you're doing something else.

	I know nothing about agriculture and I'm not an expert, BUT I am from 2028 and Rose was a half-blood, so I learned a lot. I don't know that I'd want to do this forever, but I'll be happy to help you setting up what you need. I think food is the most important thing anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I expect we can skip a few decades and focus on the more recent pieces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good because I wouldn't know old things, from like 2010. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let alone 1908, I am sure. Obsolete things can be passed over. We only need the most recent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So what exactly do you need from me? To set things up for you? Teach you how to use technology? Deal with Muggles? Anything is fine until I figure out what I want to do when I grow up! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All of it really. We need to set up a property, preferably a warehouse or some such, for deliveries from Muggle suppliers for food and such. I, personally, will need to be made aware of inflation. I doubt you can get a dozen eggs for a knut anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh that shouldn't take long, because once we purchase everything and you learn how to use a computer, then you can do it on your own. I really wish that Rose or Hugo were here. They'd be so much better than me but I'll show you what I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	computer...? Oh dear. Perhaps we should start with something simple. How do Muggles dress? Blending in will be a necessity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hd_scorpius 2021-03-16 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	Jeans and a shirt (t-shirt if it's hot) will make it nice and easy, especially in a warehouse. But honestly, nothing is done in person from what I can tell. You do everything either by phone or computer and then they deliver the stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-16 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing at all? Do we not have to see the property first? Would one not meet the estate agent in person at the very least? I'm becoming very confused. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I meant more once we have the property and you get the food delivered, but you can actually buy a commercial property with just a warehouse on a computer. You can see the details and pictures and do everything through a solicitor so technically you don't have to meet her. And it's not like we can't apparate at night to see it anyway.

	Right... what is a computer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A computer is...think of a floo connection, but in a very small box and it can connect to every other box in the world like it. The box shows you pictures, lets you send messages, let's you talk to people, see them.

I'm not really good at them, but I've seen them at Rose's and they are awesome. You know, I read that Cho lived in the Muggle world. Maybe you should get her to teach her since she'd have to use them daily, while my knowledge is more watching others.

	That sounds like utter nonsense. Right... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hd_scorpius 2021-03-16 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I'm trying to explain and not doing a good job because I've never used them myself. I'm sure Cho can give up the exciting job of cataloguing and help, so I don't screw up! (Reply to this) (Parent)
