GOVERNMENT

Strangely, early in 2009, the old building was declared condemned. So, that's all muggles see: ruins with a "Condemned: Keep Out" sign several yards from the building. Should any come too close, the confundus charm sends them away as they remember something they'd forgotten.
But charms against muggle invaders aren't the only protective charms on the manor. After all, if the lord of the land works there five days out of the week, security cannot be too lax. In addition to the multiple guards that manage the slaves and serve as protection should an unsavory character approach the manor, anti-apparition spells are in place. No one can apparate within 200 yards of the manor, and a password, which changes daily, is necessary to gain entrance into the manor. Without it, there is no entrance. Once inside, there is a security check that must be passed. As with at the Ministry, one's wand is collected, and the visitor must state his name and business, which are checked against the list the guard has. That done, entrance is granted.
Puxley is where Trevor Williams works as well as where slaves dwell, cooking and cleaning to earn their keep. It is also where any and all important meetings with diplomats from other countries are held.
The Ministry of Magic still is the central seat of the government. Not much has changed in how it is laid out and run and how admittance is given. The Minister of Magic works here and trials are held here before the Wizengamot. Other things of importance include the Department of Education, Department of Mysteries, and much more.
