The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The Order of Merlin is a special honor conferred by the Order of Merlin to the Order of the Third Class and above.

At this time, the members of the Sir Merlin Order would gather together to celebrate the addition of new members.

Of course, as the third-level medal, which is the second-lowest among the Order of Merlin, the scale of the awards it can receive is actually very small.

Generally speaking, it would be very respectable for such a small scene to have several seniors of the same third level come to support you, and a second-level medal winner to personally award you the medal.

The most unlucky ones should be people like Lockhart.

Lockhart's third-level Medal of Merlin was actually obtained through the development of advanced forgetting spells. He himself relied on advanced forgetting spells to steal other people's stories so brazenly.

Strictly speaking, he is also a genuine member of Sir Merlin.

However, due to his poor reputation among the upper echelons of the magic world in the country, no member of the Order of Merlin was present at his investiture ceremony.

So he could only entertain himself by holding the Merlin Third Class Medal sent by an owl and hold a medal ceremony for himself.

In the end, he even submitted a photo of himself with a medal on his chest and a wide smile to the Daily Prophet, which made the front page headlines the next day.

Link really had nothing to say about this. He could only say that when it came to being shameless, Lockhart was definitely one of the best in the entire magical world.

However, Lockhart's situation is just a special case. Link's award ceremony will naturally not be so shabby, especially since Link is the only son of the Foley family and the recommender is Dumbledore.

So, when Link arrived at the auditorium of the Ministry of Magic according to the time on the invitation, he saw a lively scene like a Christmas dinner at Hogwarts.

Close to a hundred 'Sir Merlin' wearing various colored attires were gathering in the auditorium, talking freely around different small circles.

I have to say that having quality is different.

Although there were so many people crowded into the auditorium to talk, everyone present tried to keep their voices down.

This makes the whole auditorium not noisy at all.

"Link, don't be nervous, just do what we promised before!"

Looking at the crowd in front of her, Mrs. Foley whispered to Link.

This left Link speechless, because now Mrs. Foley's fingers were trembling slightly, and she looked much more nervous than him.

Of course, Link also knew that Mrs. Foley was not actually nervous, but excited.

I am excited that my son has achieved such an achievement and that my years of training have finally been proven.

"Mother, we should go in, otherwise we will be late."

Seeing Mrs. Foley's excited look, Link gave a final reminder. Only then did Mrs. Foley wake up. She quickly straightened her expression and led Link into the venue.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was still harmonious, and when Link and Mrs. Foley appeared in it, the atmosphere here became even more enthusiastic.

Almost everyone present gathered around Link and Mrs. Foley, praising Link's intelligence and talent.

Faced with such a scene, Link just kept nodding, without even a smile on his face.

This is what Mrs. Foley said, 'as promised before', and Link, who doesn't like to treat others hypocritically, fully agrees with this.

Mrs. Foley was quite adaptable.

She handled everyone's flattery with ease, and her attitude was neither cold nor hot. Compared with the enthusiasm of others, she could even be said to be a little arrogant.

But everyone who received such a response from Mrs. Foley was not angry because they knew very well that Mrs. Foley was such a person and she was qualified to adopt such an attitude.

On the contrary, perhaps because Mrs. Foley was in a good mood today and smiled occasionally, all those guys were a little flattered.

After the minions greeted each other, a fat man who looked harmless to humans and animals was surrounded and came to Link.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Foley." The fat man first saluted Mrs. Foley, and then said to Link with a very artificial look of surprise, "Oh! Are you Link? What a hero! "

After saying that, the fat man deliberately puffed out his chest, making Link notice the medal hanging on his chest.

It was a shield-shaped medal with a wand pattern in the middle. Judging from the pattern of the wand on it, it should be a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin.

Upon seeing this, Link immediately understood the identity of the fat man in front of him.

Among the recipients of the Order of Merlin, First Class, who are still alive today, the only one who is so fat is the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Minister."

Link said neither humble nor haughty.

This made Mrs. Foley glance at him in surprise.

She didn't remember introducing Fudge to Link.

However, Fudge felt that it was normal for Link to recognize him.

He laughed and praised Link again. Looking at him, he looked like he could talk about it forever.

Fortunately, most people, including Fudge, came today to Mrs. Foley, the current leader of the Foley family.

So after a few polite words, Fudge focused the conversation on Mrs. Foley, and Link took this opportunity to escape from the crowd.

"call!"

Link let out a long breath.

When Fudge spoke just now, his official tone was strong, and the people around him were in agreement with him. Link couldn't help but recall the appearance of the old leaders during some talks in his previous life.

As for what those old leaders' conversations were like, Link could only say that it was an absolute nightmare.

"Congratulations! Link!"

Just when Link was secretly glad that he no longer had to experience that horrific scene, a familiar voice came into his ears.

He heard the sound and went over, and sure enough he saw Dumbledore looking at him with a smile not far away.

Beside him, there was an old man who looked about the same age as him.

Facing Dumbledore and this old man who seemed to be as highly respected as Dumbledore, Link did not dare to be negligent and directly bowed and said:

"Thank you very much, Principal Dumbledore. I would also like to thank you for being my recommender."

"Don't say that," Dumbledore waved his hands with a smile, "As I said before, although I am your recommender, I will not help you do anything that goes against the principles of Sir Merlin. .You can win the Order of Merlin only because you are good enough!"

Hearing this, Link smiled and nodded.

And just when he was about to continue his polite words, the old man next to Dumbledore pointed to the Hogwarts uniform that Link was wearing and said:

"Are you a Hufflepuff?"

"That's right."

Link looked down at the bright yellow tie on his chest and said with some confusion.

Hearing this, the old man laughed, pointed at himself and said:

"Me too!"
