Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 114 Awards
Expanding his magical vision again, John once again saw the phantom of Harry's mother shining golden light.

However, compared to what he saw in Diagon Alley for the first time, the phantom now looks much dimmer.

But John could notice a faint golden spot flying out of Aunt Petunia and into the phantom.

But this is just to keep the phantom from dissipating, and John can see that the phantom is still disappearing.

Presumably, this phantom will disappear when Harry becomes an adult or the day Voldemort is completely wiped out.

And I don't know if it was because John destroyed a Horcrux, the fragment on Harry's body that belonged to Voldemort seemed a little sluggish.

John had previously researched the magic circle used to decompose the remnant souls in the Horcrux. After that experiment, John found many problems later.

The notebook that used to be a horcrux did not change much after the remnant soul disintegrated, but in the following month or so, this notebook quickly rotted and disappeared as if it had experienced several times of time in a short period of time.

So he has no plan to continue dismantling those remnant souls for the time being, and he still needs to study and research further.

After all, other horcruxes are okay, even if they are damaged, it's nothing, they have been treated as lost for so many years.

But Harry was different. John didn't want Harry to die of old age instantly after the remnant soul was decomposed.

Turning off his magic vision, John looked at the Dursleys' house huddled in a corner like a quail, and John felt more and more that Dumbledore was nothing to Harry.

Obviously he was a famous white magician in the wizarding world, as long as he gave a command, or used the power in his hands, then Harry would naturally have a better life.

For example, making money to clear the way, taking good care of how much money Harry's Dursleys get each year, or entrusting a special department to manage adoption matters, these can guarantee Harry's normal daily life to a certain extent.

But Dumbledore just didn't do anything, even if he wanted to exercise the will of the savior, it would be too much.

This can be seen from Harry's smaller and thinner body than other children of the same age, which shows the kind of life he leads at the Dursleys.

After thinking about it, as Harry's friend, John felt that he should help Harry improve his living environment.

So John agreed with Harry on the meeting point, and then went to the Ministry of Magic together.

Before leaving, John stood in front of the gate and said to the Dursleys who hated him: "Mr. Vernon Dursley, there is something I think you should know."

"Wizards are not as isolated from the world as you think. In fact, the high level of the country and us wizards actually have a deep connection."

"Harry is a celebrity in the wizarding world, and his status is actually equivalent to the superstar of your Muggle world. If someone knows that your family has been abusing Harry, will there be any admirers of Harry who choose to use marijuana?" How about the power of the melon world to deal with you?"

"For example, the regulations written in those adoption agreements that you violated."

"Although you are indeed commendable for adopting Harry and taking care of him so far, this does not mean that you can abuse Harry."

"And I also want to remind you that Harry's living conditions have been recorded by special personnel. Do you think those records have not been checked? Will the things you do not be held accountable?"

Vernon Dursley's face became paler when he heard this, and so did Petunia. She leaned against the wall hard to maintain her standing posture.

"The people behind the recorder are just taking care of Harry and the face of his parents who sacrificed for the wizarding world, so they are lenient to you."

"After today, I hope you can think clearly about the stakes."

"Of course, this is not asking you to take care of Harry like Dudley, but just suggesting that you no longer restrict his activities and treat him as a child instead of other things."

Finally John said goodbye to Harry again, and he closed the door behind Harry's grateful eyes.

In the room at this moment, Harry was smiling, while the thoughts of the Dursleys kept churning, and finally Vernon Dursley said with gritted teeth.

"You can take your things out and put them in the room."

When Harry heard this, he paused, and then immediately asked, "Including Hedwig?"

Vernon seemed to be suppressing his anger, and said word by word: "Yes! Including that damned owl!"

Hearing this, Harry couldn't wait to rush to the cubicle, took out all his things, and carried them upstairs excitedly.

Petunia looked at Harry who disappeared around the corner, and at her husband who was blushing because of anger, she opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything in the end.

Some things have already happened, and it’s too late to talk about it now. If you make your own decision, you have to bear the result of the harvest.

Soon the time came to July 1993, 7. On this day, a large number of people gathered at the Ministry of Magic to participate in John's award ceremony.

Accompanied by the green flames of the two people in the closet, John brought his mother, Miranda, and Harry to the Ministry of Magic.

"John! Here!"

Hagrid, who stood out from the crowd, saw them immediately, and the kind giant waved at them directly.

But also because of his actions and address, everyone present focused their attention on John.

Everyone who sees John will be surprised by John's appearance at first glance, but soon they will show admiration because of John's achievements at this age.

Of course, there are also some eyes full of resentment, which are naturally contributed by those pure-blood families, among which the Rozier family is the most prosperous, and many of them are on his mother Miranda.

In the end, it was John who slightly sideways blocked his mother Miranda and used Longwei to shock the spirits of these people, so that these gazes were slightly restrained.

In fact, the award of the Ministry of Magic should not be so grand, but it is just like what John guessed before.

This was all to divert attention, and Fudge desperately needed such a formal ceremony to reverse his declining reputation. He was preparing for re-election.

John shook hands and said hello to those who came to communicate with him all the way, so he came to Hagrid.

Beside Hagrid, several other professors were also communicating with their friends. With his keen senses, even though the scene was very noisy, John could still hear that the main content of the professors' communication was him.

"John!"

I saw the Weasley family squeezed out from the crowd, all of them were dressed in very formal clothes.

"Congratulations, John, you are really amazing!" Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.

"Yeah! It's simply too powerful, stronger than Bill and Charlie!" Ron said excitedly from the side.

When Charlie and Bill heard what their brother said, they just smiled and said nothing. They knew very well how difficult it was to obtain the Order of Merlin, Second Class, let alone at John's age.

Standing beside Ginny, Percy's eyes shone with admiration. The conversation in Diagon Alley and the book John gave him had greatly inspired him. He was very grateful for John's guidance. .

The Weasley twins were making faces at John, while the little girl Ginny was paying attention to Harry, and of course she didn't forget to send her blessings to John.

Soon, John's mother, Miranda, was mingling with Mrs. Weasley, and John was explaining the deeper principles of his new magic to the others.

Although everyone basically couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent everyone from showing adoring eyes.

Time soon came to the time of awarding honors, and I saw Principal Dumbledore wearing a gorgeous robe, followed by Minister of Magic Fudge, walking out of a room on one side.

After everyone sat down in their seats, Fudge walked to the front and began to deliver the speech before the award.

It's just that the more John listened, the more he felt that the other party was flattering himself and the Ministry of Magic between the lines. It seemed that the decline in the approval rate made Fudge very anxious.

After this lengthy speech, finally came the time for the formal award.

Mother Miranda arranged John's clothes with satisfaction, and then John walked up to the stage under everyone's gaze and stood in front of Principal Dumbledore.

"Congratulations, John!"

Principal Dumbledore smiled and picked up the medal from the tray held by the attendant, and handed it to John.

"Thank you."

John smiled and took the medal from Dumbledore.

The flashing lights below were constantly flashing, and every reporter was trying their best to record this moment.

Then John took a group photo with every Ministry of Magic official on the stage, and the one who impressed John the most was Minister Fudge.

At that time, he expressed his kindness to John in a very low voice, and offered his olive branch.

But John could see the other party's thoughts at a glance. For such a cowardly coward, John was naturally not going to serve under him, so he directly declined, saying that his interest was in research and he did not want to join the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Fudge's complexion was a little ugly.

But does John care?

John didn't care at all, he really wanted Fudge to get away, as far away as possible.

You must know that in his arrangement, there is a plan to oust Fudge from power.

After all, compared to such a cowardly coward, he is still a capable and resourceful Minister of Magic, who can give him more help.

Now it's just temporarily giving Fudge a little bit of sweetness. In the future, the kind "Death Eater" uncle will teach Fudge a lesson, and the position under his ass will not be stable by then.

After the ceremony, John and his mother Miranda, at the invitation of the Weasley family, went to the Burrow to attend their specially prepared celebration banquet.

It seemed that he was also attracted by such an event, and Headmaster Dumbledore and other professors also participated, including Snape.

"Congratulations, John, compared to some fellows whose mud can't support the wall, you make me feel relieved." Professor Snape pulled him aside at the banquet at that time, expressing his blessing with a blank face .

John naturally accepted it with a smile.

Amidst the laughter, the banquet ended, and everyone left the Burrow after saying goodbye.
