I, Hogwarts Second Week

There was an uproar in the hall.

Countless eyes, trembling, unexpected, indifferent, and malicious all rushed over.

The atmosphere suddenly became anxious.

Owen and the others, the young wizards invited to the crowning ceremony, sat in the back rows of the crowning seats, and looked at the Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, in surprise.

"Rufus, the main occasion, and your cultivation." Dumbledore said with a serious face, without a trace of emotion in his blue eyes.

"Go to your cultivation, Dumbledore. If you want to kneel down to Muggles, don't even think about taking me with you." Rufus Scrimgeour roared, heartbroken.

Then he turned around, trembling all over, and left here.

Seeing that the Minister of Magic left angrily, the officials of the Ministry of Magic present, especially the directors of various departments, were all shocked and nervous.

At this moment, they had to choose between Rufus Scrimgeour and Dumbledore.

There was a noise in the hall. The sudden departure of the Minister of Magic undoubtedly cast a shadow on this solemn awarding ceremony.

Dumbledore frowned slightly, looking at Rufus's back as he left, feeling helpless.

To be fair, Rufus Scrimgeour was not a supporter of pure bloodism, nor was he a great wizard. There was only one reason why he was so angry, and that was face!

If what happened here was reported back to the magic world, the face of the Ministry of Magic would be almost thrown to the ground and trampled.

And at that time, the angry wizards would immediately drive him out of this position.

As for the cooperation between wizards and Muggles, it is likely to proceed normally. This is the general trend and there is no way to stop it.

So, in the end of this farce, there will only be a tragedy for him alone. As the Minister of Magic, he is the first person responsible. He was angry, angry that Dumbledore had abandoned him lightly. His future and political life came to an end at this moment.

In the distant future, his name will be written down in the History of Magic, and he will be infamous as the most shameful and incompetent Minister of Magic!

On the other side, Prime Minister Mr. Harker, who was not far from Dumbledore, saw the whole process.

As a top politician, he could naturally see through the underlying logic. When he felt sorry, he was also sincerely thankful because he was the one who took the lead instead of the other party, otherwise he would have left in disgrace.

The ceremony continued, but the atmosphere was completely different from before. Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that there would be no more accidents.

But Owen's mind was no longer on these red tapes, but on the ceremony for others to see.

He wandered in the void and thought of more important things.

Now, Voldemort is dead, but his soul must still be hiding in a gutter waiting for an opportunity to revive.

If the things here were spread, he would definitely retaliate crazily.

But revenge requires strength.

Therefore, Voldemort will definitely look for the Outer Gods to rebuild his body.

Now, of the seven God-granted towers, the remaining Outer God magic of four has all returned to himself.

Of the remaining three God-granted towers, the one in Canada is still unknown, and the one in Britain, that is, the one in the cave, has long been hidden by the successive principals of Hogwarts. The only one left is the one on Mothrace Island.

Therefore, Voldemort is most likely on the Greek island of Mothrace at this time.

This information is important.

But the Outer Gods have been operating on Mothrace Island for a long time, and the danger level must be far greater than the one in the Italian waters.

It may be dangerous to go to the island rashly.

In the Order of the Phoenix, it seems that only Senior Newt has been on the island. Professor Dumbledore once said that there are countless dead borns and various monsters on the island, and even terrible creatures that have not yet been discovered in the magical world. Their means of attack include physical and spiritual means, even a legendary wizard like Dumbledore will be in danger. So over the years, although Dumbledore knew that Voldemort's base was on the island, he never launched an attack on it.

At present, it seems that the method of luring the fish into the bait is the safest.

If you think so, there is another explanation for Miss Granger's big splash this time. If Voldemort knew that the real culprit behind his defeat was this "heir of ancient magic", he would probably exhaust all means to deal with her.

So Dumbledore's agreement to award the medal actually has this meaning?

Owen looked at the old wizard sitting in the chief.

This is not impossible.

Dumbledore was willing to give up his life to kill Voldemort, and even after knowing the existence of the Horcrux, he wanted Harry to die at first, but after a series of changes later, especially when he knew that Voldemort used Harry's blood to resurrect, he speculated that Harry might survive.

That's right, even Dumbledore didn't know whether Harry could resist Voldemort's killing curse, even in the end, he was just speculating. What if he couldn't? Then Harry would really die, but Voldemort would destroy one of his Horcruxes with his own hands anyway.

This is what is so terrifying about him. His plan is perfect. Even if it is disclosed, it will not affect the final result.

Will such a wizard make trouble for Miss Granger?

Yes, he will definitely do so.

Thinking of this, the awarding ceremony became sinister and terrifying.

The magnificent hall also became bloody and ghostly. The original solemn and grand atmosphere disappeared, and only distortion and conspiracy existed.

The awarding ceremony was carried out in full swing.

The Queen and her 60-year-old Crown Prince entered the ceremony to the singing of God Save the Queen and the standing attention of the audience. Then the Crown Prince read out the list of names and the Queen personally awarded the honors.

The first few people on the list were all Muggle soldiers who had made great achievements in the war. Among them, Owen also saw an acquaintance, Jill.

She appeared on the stage at the same time as two beautiful and heroic women.

Three people were awarded knighthoods.

Other meritorious officials also entered the scene one after another, but most of them were knights or even ordinary lords. Few people can get the title of viscount or higher.

This is normal. In modern Britain, honors are generally awarded only to ordinary lords.

Knights and viscounts are both rare.

Higher Earls and Marquises are rarely awarded to non-royal members.

The highest title an ordinary person can obtain is a lifelong peer, a baron.

As for the Duke

Except for the hereditary dukes who followed William the Conqueror, in modern times only direct princes can obtain the title of duke.

The awarding of honors continued, and soon a man dressed differently than others appeared.

That's a wizard.

Kanmoyu is about forty years old.

Owen didn't know him, but he learned from a group of professors in front of him and officials from the Ministry of Magic who had not left that he was an Auror of Muggle origin.

He was originally a member of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Magic Picket Team, and only joined the Auror Office a few years ago.

And because of his background and the fact that the magic picket team is a job that offends people, the number of people in the magic world is extremely poor, and they basically belong to the group of people who do the heaviest work and get the lowest wages.

He actually accepted the Queen's award.

This made some officials from the Ministry of Magic secretly grit their teeth and call them traitors, not knowing whether they were jealous or angry.

In short, the appearance of the first wizard immediately ignited the somewhat dead atmosphere in the hall.

Everyone stared at that person with burning eyes.

And the Queen's rewards surpassed everyone else's. He was actually awarded the title of earl. The key is that he is a hereditary earl.

You know, in modern Britain, all titles cannot be inherited. They are called life-long nobles, which means that you are a noble for life, but your children are not.

Even if they are princes, their dukedom title cannot be passed on to their children.

This gift is nothing short of shocking.

And this is enough to prove the royal family's intention to win over wizards.

How many such low-level wizards are there in the wizarding world?

How many wizards are depressed in the officialdom monopolized by purebloods?

How many of these people are loyal to the Ministry of Magic?

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of most low-level wizards, the collapse of the Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with them. Maybe they can live a better life if someone else rules them.

Sure enough, with this wizard taking the lead.

In the next hour, several more wizards appeared one after another.

And they were all heavily rewarded.

"It's nice to have a title. I also want a knight's title. How handsome." Suddenly, next to Owen, Ron said abruptly, "I've seen it in many wizard novels. In the past, In an era when wizards and Muggles coexisted, ancient wizards could also fight as knights, commanding armies of tens of thousands of people. Well - it's really exciting. "

"I also read those novels, and there were magical princesses, magical princes and so on. I was fascinated by them when I was a child." Hannah continued, but as soon as the words came out, her face became a little uncomfortable, "Um - then When I was little, I didn’t understand those things.”

Owen turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

Most of the previous novels in the wizarding world are like this. It is the story of war, princes and princesses covered in magic.

Later, Lockhart suddenly emerged and wrote real-life adventure stories, which swept such fantasy stories into the dustbin of history.

Compared with Lockhart's books, with its exciting adventures, battles of wits and courage with various magical creatures and wizards from all over the world, fantasy stories naturally have no audience.

However, Ron and Hannah can actually say such things, which shows that in the eyes of some Muggles, there seems to be nothing wrong with cooperating with Muggles, or even being named a vassal.

Being a lord is also a big deal.

The Malfoy family had a title before, and it was a hereditary title, but they don't mention it now.

Now that wizards and Muggles have merged and the "Law of Secrecy" has collapsed, they can naturally pick up the title and put it on their heads again.

"When you kill Voldemort, the Queen will definitely give you a reward. It is possible to give you a marquis by then. After all, your family is also related to the Knights of the Round Table. As orthodox Celts, the Queen can also take the oath to reward you. Her legitimacy.”

"Huh - that's a long way off. We don't even know where he is hiding now," Ron said.

"I guessed the location. Why don't you reveal it to the Muggles?" Owen's eyes suddenly lit up. "Let them blow it up again?"

But after thinking for a moment, he gave up, "Forget it, that place is very dangerous, and Voldemort can't be killed by the explosion. As for whether it can be done."

Destroy the Outer Gods

He was really not sure about this.

And while they were chatting about knights and wizards.

The awarding ceremony finally came to an end.

As the last honored wizard to appear.

Miss Granger, dressed in the same finery she had worn in the auditorium, walked slowly towards the guest of honor.

The next moment, the military band on the second floor played the song "God Save the Queen" again.

The whole audience stood up again.

Harry was silent for a while. He looked around and then stood up like the others.

The other little wizards did the same.

As for Owen, it was no big deal to give his girlfriend a salute. He just stood up.

However, not all wizards were as reasonable as him. Some officials of the Ministry of Magic did not stand up and still sat with dark faces.

In contrast, the professors, especially Professor McGonagall, had no other ideas.

Her face was flushed, and she looked at the girl being crowned by the Queen with excitement and even tears.

She was completely like her student had made it, and she was proud of being a professor. Horace Slughorn was also trembling with excitement. Looking at the upturned corners of his mouth, he was afraid that he could stand next to Hermione now, and then find someone to take pictures of them and pass them down through the ages.

"Crown?"

Some of the invited Muggle participants frowned in excitement.

The crown is a symbol of the royal family.

No crown is required for knighthood.

Then, when the Queen spoke, the titles she mentioned made everyone gasp.

Add the title of Princess and grant hereditary Duke of Hampshire.

?

"Duke of Hampshire?"

"Princess?"

Owen and Harry spoke at the same time.

Hampshire is a county located in the southeast of England, bordering the Solent Strait in the south and Surrey and West Sussex in the east. The county capital is Winchester. It is one of the 48 honorary counties and one of the 34 non-metropolitan counties in the UK, with two major municipalities, Southampton and Portsmouth.

The population is about two million.

Compared with London, Hampshire can only be regarded as a countryside.

But mainly this county, in legend, is the capital of the Camelot Dynasty, and there are also some relics left over from the ancient Roman period.

Miss Granger's intention of giving this title is not to be said to be malicious.

Now King Arthur really became the Queen's subordinate - uh - I don't know if it is a subordinate, or a daughter or granddaughter.

"It seems that we can't call Hermione by her name anymore." Ron said, "We have to call her Princess Hermione."

"Why is it so strange?" Harry said, "These two words together have an indescribable weirdness."

"You can also call her Duke Granger." Ginny said with shining eyes.

"Princess." Hannah couldn't help but tiptoe and look at the guest of honor. It must be said that even in the magical world, even if they are deeply influenced by wizard culture, they have different expectations for the title of princess.

"Isn't it just a princess?" Owen said nonchalantly, "It's more comfortable to hear the queen."
