Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 174 The Awarding Ceremony Begins!!

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick have taught books at Hogwarts for decades, and many wizards have been their students.

Although those wizards had already graduated, they still kept in touch with their former professors, and even respected them very much.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick introduce Toby to the wizards, and also introduce Toby to those wizards, in fact, to help Toby expand his network.

Those wizards had a good attitude towards Toby, praising him again and again, even if some wizards were jealous of Toby, they did not dare to say anything in front of Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.

As for Hermione, Ron, Fred, and George, they had long been led by the Weasleys and sat down in their empty seats.

They all know that today’s protagonist is Toby.

Percy watched Toby, led by Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, constantly getting to know the wizards, and was very envious, but this time he was very satisfied to be able to come to the ceremony of Sir Merlin’s order.

Mr. Weasley also showed his unusual ability to communicate, constantly shaking hands and talking and laughing with wizards who seemed to have great status.

“Oh! Toby, here you are. ”

Professor Dumbledore and several wizards who looked very old walked over while talking.

“Hello, Professor Dumbledore.”

Toby greeted.

“Old fellows, this is the protagonist of our award ceremony today, Mr. Toby Rigpo.”

Dumbledore was dressed in a gorgeous black and blue robe, and seemed to be extremely happy to introduce several wizards beside him.

“Thank you, Mr. Rigbo, for your contribution to the wizarding world, we will always remember it, and the spell you invented has saved many dying wizards and is the lifesaver of many wizards.”

One of the old wizards stepped forward and said, his expression quite serious, and extended his hand to Toby.

“Hello!”

Toby reached out and shook the old witch’s hand, but because he didn’t know the identity of the old witch, he didn’t know what to say.

“Toby, this is the director of St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries, Hippocrates Derwent.”

Dumbledore on the side smiled and introduced.

“Hello, Dean Derwent.”

Toby bowed slightly to the old wizard.

“Mr. Rigpo, I wonder if you would like to work at St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries after graduation, I believe that you will be an excellent healer.”

Dean Derwent invited, how could such a talent let go of such an effective healing spell at such an age.

“Dean Derwent, thank you for the invitation, I think I will consider it, but I am only in the first year now, and although I am about to enter the second year, I am still a few years away from graduation.”

Toby said.

“Devonte, Toby is just about to enter the second grade, you start robbing people now, it’s too early, no one can say what will happen in the future, don’t put pressure on the child.”

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Next, Dumbledore introduced Toby to several other wizards, all of whom had high status and were members of the Wizengamot.

These wizards were also very friendly to Toby, and there was even an old witch who said that Toby was the next Dumbledore, which was approved by many people.

Soon, the award ceremony of Sir Merlin’s regiment finally began, and the guests had arrived, in addition to the big names and celebrities of the wizarding world of the Eagle Country, there were many Europeans

Senior officials of ministries of magic in various countries.

First, Minister of Magic, Connery Fudge, took the stage and began to speak some scenes, and finally announced the official start of the award ceremony.

After Fudge stepped down, Dumbledore came to the forefront, and although Fudge was Minister of Magic, he was not qualified to award the Order of Sir Merlin.

The Order of Sir Merlin, only Dumbledore has this qualification to be awarded.

Dumbledore is not only recognized as the most powerful white wizard, but also the chief archmage of Wizengamot, and once received the first class medal of the Sir Merlin’s order.

With Dumbledore’s arrival, the entire memorial hall began to fall silent, the noise stopped, and everyone focused on Dumbledore.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Merlin Memorial Hall for this significant ceremony.”

Dumbledore’s voice was so loud that everyone could hear it.

Next, Dumbledore looked at the manuscript in his hand and began a long speech, with Dumbledore’s personality, he should not have prepared such a long draft, probably prepared by the Ministry of Magic for him.

“Next, please ask the wizard who has received the medal to take his place.”

Finally, Dumbledore’s tirade ended, and he put down the manuscript in his hand after saying the last sentence.

Toby left his position and strode up, mixing in a group of adult wizards and even elderly wizards, which was extremely prominent, and also made many wizards below talk about him.

Walking to the stage, Toby stood in the first position, because he received the Order of Sir Merlin, and the other wizards basically received medals of the second or third degree.

According to convention, the Order of Sir Merlin is very difficult to obtain, and is usually awarded posthumously to wizards who are dead or dying, and those wizards must have made significant contributions to the wizarding world.

Even Dumbledore was able to receive a first-class medal from Sir Merlin’s Order for defeating the powerful dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945.

But the life continuation charm invented by Toby has indeed made a great contribution to the wizarding world, allowing many dying wizards to survive, and it is not too much to receive a first-class Merlin medal.

In fact, at the meeting of the Wizengamot, it was discussed whether to award Toby the Order of Merlin, 1st class.

Proponents believe that Toby’s invention of the spell has made a significant contribution to the wizarding world and that he should be awarded the Order of Merlin of the First Degree.

Opponents believe that Toby is too young to award him the Order of Merlin of the First Class if he is awarded the Order of Merlin of the First Class in the future, and if he makes a great contribution in the future, there will be no medal to be issued, and he should be awarded the Order of Merlin of the Second Class.

In the end, Dumbledore sided with the approvers.

Everything is settled.

Dumbledore began awarding medals to wizards one by one, starting with the Order of Merlin of the Third Degree.

Among the wizards who received the Order of Merlin of the Third Degree, there was also a named Gilderoy Lockhart, which seems to be in recognition of his bravery in the face of dark creatures, and the practice of introducing methods of resistance in his book.

After winning the award, Gilderoy Lockhart smiled and showed eight white teeth, which fascinated the witches in the audience, even Mrs. Weasley.

She is a big fan and fan of Gilderoy Lockhart.

After the third-degree Merlin medal was awarded, the second-level Merlin medal began to be awarded, but the wizards who won the second-level Merlin medal were much fewer than the wizards who received the third-degree Merlin medal.

One of Toby most impressed was a potions master named Damcos Belby, who invented the wolf poison potion and received the Order of Merlin 2nd class.

Although the existing wolf poison potion is too expensive, those poor werewolves simply cannot afford it.

But the wolf poison potion is indeed a great feat, but it needs to be improved to make it a civilian medicine.

After the second-class Merlin medal was issued, it was finally the turn of the first-class Merlin medal, but this time only Toby was awarded the first-class medal of Sir Merlin’s regiment.

“On behalf of Sir Merlin’s Order and people from all walks of life in the wizarding world, I have the honour to award Sir Tobirig Pomelin’s Order of the Order of First Class.”

Dumbledore picked up the exquisite and luxurious silk ribbon and personally put it on Toby, straddling it diagonally from his left shoulder to his right leg.

The Merlin medal is composed of an atmospheric gold medal and ribbon, of which the green ribbon is the first class medal, the purple ribbon is the second class medal, and the white ribbon is the third class medal.

As for why the First Class Order is a green ribbon, it is said to pay homage to Slytherin at Hogwarts, and legend has it that Merlin studied at Slytherin House.

“Thank you, Professor Dumbledore!”

Toby bowed to Dumbledore in thanks.

“Child, I hope you will create a more brilliant future in the future.”
