Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 92 Awards
The train soon arrived at the station, and after getting off, the prefects got into a carriage, no, to be more precise, it was a Thestral carriage.Everyone had a prefect badge on their school robes "a silver P" and the Slytherins were Hilbert Shafik and Daphne Greengrass.Gryffindor's Hermione and Ron, Hufflepuff's Ernie MacMillan and Hannah Abram Ravenclaw's Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil (Wikipedia found in.)
"I didn't expect everyone to become a prefect!"

"Yes, and I heard that there is a good show tonight!"

"I heard that the Sir Merlin Order is coming. Do you think the professor in the school has received a medal?"

Hermione and Ron just wanted to talk but were suppressed by Hilbert, and then pretended to say, "Yeah! You said that professor would get it?"

"It must be Professor Flitwick! He is the king of duels and the master of spells!" Hannah said proudly.

"It could also be Professor Sprout!"

Indeed, as Hilbert observed, wizards at the Ministry of Magic were proud to receive the Order of Merlin.In fact, while not all wizards find it difficult to resist the temptation to receive the Order of Merlin, members of high society and the Ministry of Magic care more about it.

Speaking of Sir Merlin.

The Merlin Sir Order was founded by the famous medieval wizard Merlin in the middle of the 11th century—it is said that he was a graduate of Slytherin. The green ribbon on the Merlin Order of the First Class is derived from the color of Merlin's own graduation school.This is the earliest international magic organization established in the magic world, and it has a great reputation.After several centuries of development, the Sir Merlin Order has become the largest outstanding wizarding organization in the magical world, and it is also the only wizarding group in the entire magical world that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic and is recognized by the Ministry of Magic as an international excellent wizarding organization.The Order of Merlin is a highly honored medal in the magic world, and the highest honor in the magic world is to be awarded the Order of Merlin.And those aristocratic wizards who claim to be in the upper class all want a medal. Obtaining the Order of Merlin can show their identity; for the wizards of the Ministry of Magic, obtaining the medal can add a brilliant touch to their resume , is conducive to their own future.

"I still have something to do, I'll see you when I leave the branch first!" Hilbert got out of the car after speaking.

The crowd hurried up the stone steps and entered the castle.The foyer was glowing red with torchlight, and echoed with the footsteps of the students.They walked across the flagstone floor to the right of the two doors leading to the auditorium, where the start-of-term banquet was held.

The Great Hall was filled to the brim with four long college tables, and above it was a dark, starless ceiling, identical to the sky they could see outside through the tall windows.Candles floated above the dining table, illuminating the silver-white ghosts dotted in the auditorium and illuminating the excited faces of the students.They were chatting cheerfully, exchanging news from the summer holidays, shouting hello to friends from other houses, examining each other's new hairstyles and new clothes.Harry noticed again that people huddled together and whispered whenever he walked by.He gritted his teeth and tried to pretend he didn't see it and didn't care.

Hilbert had already changed into a silver and white dress with gold trim.The hair is combed and shiny.A few seconds later, the door to the Great Hall opened, and a long line of first-years, seemingly terrified, entered the auditorium led by Professor McGonagall.Professor McGonagall was holding a stool in his hand, on which lay an ancient wizard's hat, patched and patched, with a wide slit at the frayed brim.The hum of conversation in the auditorium gradually died down.First-year students line up at the staff desks, facing students from other grades.Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of them, then stepped back.The faces of the first-year freshmen were pale in the candlelight.A young boy in the middle of the line seemed to be shaking.Then the slit at the brim opened like a mouth, and the Sorting Hat sang loudly: Long ago when I was a new hat, before Hogwarts was built, the four founders of Noble House, Thought they would never part ways.They are united by the same goal, and their wishes are so consistent: to build the best magic school in the world, and let their knowledge be passed on and continued. "We will build a school together and teach together!" The four friends had a firm idea, but they never dreamed that one day they would be separated from each other.There are no friends in this world.Can it be better than Slytherin and Gryffindor?Unless you count another pair of best friends!Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?How can such a good thing go wrong?How can such a friendship be written off?Alas, I have witnessed this sad story firsthand, so I can recount it here.Slytherin said: "The students we teach, their blood must be the purest." Ravenclaw said: "The students we teach, their intelligence must be superior." Gryffindor said: "Our The students who teach. Must be heroic and selfless." Hufflepuff said: "I will teach many people, and treat them all as equals."

The first time these differences came to light, a small quarrel arose.

Each of the four founders owns an academy and only recruits the teenagers they want.

The wizards of Slytherin priests are pure blood and scheming like himself.

Only the sharpest minds of the younger generation can listen to the teachings of Ravenclaw.Anyone who is daring and adventurous is accepted into the academy by the brave Gryffindor.The rest were accepted by the kind Hufflepuff, who taught them all of her skills.

In this way, the four colleges and their founders maintain a strong and sincere friendship.During those many happy years, teaching at Hogwarts was pleasant and harmonious.

But then slowly a division emerges, exacerbated by our flaws and fears.The four colleges are like four stone pillars, which once firmly supported our school.

…………

Before the commencement banquet began, their headmaster stood up to greet them all.

"Welcome to our new students," said Dumbledore loudly, with his arms outstretched and a big smile on his lips. "Welcome! Welcome to our old students. Welcome back! Before the food bursts, I have a word to say First of all, a warm welcome to the gentlemen of the Sir Merlin Corps!"

"Sirs of Merlin are here today to award medals! During the summer vacation, one of our students accidentally creatively reformed the wand during an alchemy experiment. To express encouragement, Sirs of Merlin decided to award a medal from Slytherin. Mr. Hilbert Shafik Medal of the Second Class for Encouragement!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the Slytherin table burst into thunderous applause!Cheers filled the period.The new Slytherins even laughed out loud!There are still many freshmen who are starting to feel annoyed that they didn't go to Slytherin just now!
"Now, the award ceremony begins!"

Solemn music sounded.

The door of the auditorium opened suddenly, and Hilbert walked towards the center of the auditorium in four directions.The students and teachers applauded, and only one person was looking at him with gritted teeth and hatred!That's right, Dolores Umbridge!

Hilbert just walked in when the music ended.

Everyone held their breath, and the most critical moment of the award ceremony came. He was awarded the honor by a highly respected member of Sir Merlin.

"On behalf of the Order of Merlin and the wizarding community," Dumbledore said, holding up a beautiful and luxurious silk ribbon, pinned to it was the Order of Merlin, Second Class, "to Sir Hilbert Baron Shafik, Sir Merlin Order of the Second Class of the Order of Merlin and the title of Sorcerer Second Class of the Order of Merlin."

He put the ribbon on for Hilbert, straddled his body diagonally from his left shoulder to his right leg, and then stepped back.The atmosphere of the audience reached its highest point at once, and the crowd applauded and cheered endlessly.In the starry night sky on the magic ceiling, countless gorgeous fireworks rose, and Hilbert waved to the crowd.

The crowd cheered for about a few minutes, until people felt that their hands were really numb, and then gradually subsided.Hilbert stood on the stage and delivered an acceptance speech as usual.

He is only 16 years old!Although most of the protagonists in those Harry Potter fan fictions got the Order of Merlin at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but this is a bit ridiculous, so I put the age back a few years.

With a "click", this scene was captured by the media present.Hilbert returned to his seat, and everyone stretched their necks eagerly to see the medal.Sir Merlin also left one after another.

"Then there is a personnel change this year. We are very happy that she welcomes Professor Graplan back. She will teach you the protection of magical creatures. Our Professor Lingxu has something to go out this year, and the Chinese class is temporarily closed for one semester. We are also happy to introduce Wu Professor Mlitch, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

There was polite, if not very enthusiastic applause in the auditorium, and Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged a slightly nervous look.Dumbledore did not say how long Graplan would be teaching.Dumbledore continued: "The selection for the House Quidditch team will be—"

He stopped short, and looked at Professor Umbridge questioningly.Since she was not much taller when standing up than when she was sitting, no one could understand why Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking. At this moment, Professor Umbridge cleared his throat: "cough, cough It was only then that everyone realized that she had stood up and was about to give a speech.

I saw Umbridge standing up with a smile in his pink clothes.Still carrying a pink bag in his hand, he walked behind the podium.Dumbledore returned to his seat and sat down.
