The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Although there was a lot of suspense in the trial due to the appearance of old factions from the previous generation, under the suppression of Dumbledore's terrifying reputation, the Wizengamot Council finally passed the sentence of Peter Pettigrew to Azkaban. Life imprisonment, and a verdict of acquittal for Sirius Black.

In addition, although the Wizengamot Council believed that the main responsibility for Sirius Black's innocent imprisonment for more than ten years should be attributed to Sirius himself, in the end, it still symbolically gave Sirius 500 gold bonuses. Long’s humanitarian reparations.

To be honest, the money was not that small. After all, it was enough for the Weasley family to travel to Egypt for an entire summer vacation.

It’s just that Sirius Black is from the Black family, the top pure-blood nobles in the former Kingdom of Yu!

Putting this little money on him feels a bit like sending a beggar away.

Especially when the old faction of Ministry of Magic bureaucrats of the previous generation had carved up most of the Black family's property.

But Sirius, a rebellious guy, obviously didn't care about this.

Compared to the so-called family glory and the family property that should have belonged to him but was embezzled by others, he was more concerned about the fact that he could finally see Harry often after regaining his freedom, and even directly snatched Harry's custody rights. It's not impossible to come over.

You know, Sirius is Harry's godfather (godfather)!

And this is also the reason why Dumbledore persuaded Sirius to let him regain hope of life.

Of course, everyone who knew the inside story of what happened that year knew that Dumbledore was trying to make things easier for Sirius.

Harry has relied entirely on the blood magic released by his mother to protect him from Death Eaters and Voldemort for more than ten years. To maintain this ancient magic, Harry must live in his aunt's house before he reaches adulthood. .

But no matter what they say, they are still really happy at this moment.

Just after Fudge knocked the hammer and made the final verdict, the three Harrys, Lupin and Sirius screamed and hugged each other, crying with joy.

Although Dumbledore was not as excited as them, he was still very emotional and smiled happily throughout the whole process.

The reporters from the Daily Prophet, who had been ambushing one side for a long time, naturally would not miss this opportunity.

They swarmed forward carrying bulky magic cameras, and with the flashes of flashlights constantly flashing, a large number of photos were taken of Sirius' expression of ecstasy and Peter Pettigrew's despair and fainting beside him, and was later dragged away by the Aurors.

Of course, the above contents are only minor.

The main photographic subject of the reporters was still Fuki in the trial seat.

After all, Fuki's purpose in inviting them to the trial was to promote his own reputation.

At the same time, many spectators in the audience, including the three Links, were also very excited.

A few of them even started whistling to congratulate Sirius.

But most of them were discussing the trial just now with great interest and unfinished meaning.

The way they looked at this moment was very much like the audience who had just watched a stunning performance in their previous life and whose blood had not completely cooled down yet.

But this is indeed what career is like.

For these nobles from the wizarding world of the country who were invited, this so-called trial was a unique performance.

Think about it, the Black family, which was once aloof and arrogant, has now become a ruin.

The only remaining heir was in an even worse state. Not only had he been imprisoned for more than ten years, he was also pulled out and displayed in front of others like a clown.

This alone can attract the interest of many wizard nobles.

What could be better than crushing your former master under your feet, and then looking at him with disdain?

In addition, the story itself in this case is very twists and turns, bizarre and interesting.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the wizarding world where entertainment activities are scarce, this trial can almost be said to be an interesting feast!

Link even predicted that for at least the next two months, today's trial would be an important topic of conversation among the wizards and nobles of the country.

And this is exactly what Fudge wants to see.

Otherwise, he would not have dominated the entire trial with that storytelling rhythm.

Link and Mrs. Foley could see all the details here clearly, so they were not as excited as others, but had a slightly sarcastic sneer on their lips.

Only Emily was still a little confused, but this was just because she was young, so she was moved by the atmosphere of the scene.

With her IQ, as long as she was given a little time, she would be able to figure it all out on her own.

After the trial, Fuki did not simply dismiss everyone who was invited.

In fact, the reason why he invited so many wizard nobles this time was not only to treat everyone to a good show, but also to arrange Link's investiture ceremony.

Under his organization, everyone quickly left the courtroom in an orderly manner.

Dumbledore, a first-class medalist in the Order of Merlin, naturally would not miss this kind of thing. He left Harry and others behind and turned to leave.

Looking at his retreating back, a trace of confusion flashed in Harry's eyes, and he caught up to him without much hesitation and asked:

"Professor Dumbledore! Where are you going?"

His voice stopped Dumbledore and also attracted Sirius and others who were still gathered there in excitement.

Several of them quickly gathered around Dumbledore. Sirius, who was so happy that he lost control, patted Dumbledore's shoulder frivolously and said excitedly:

"Yes Dumbledore! Don't be in such a hurry to go back to Hogwarts! Today is a good day for me to regain my freedom. How about we find a place to celebrate together later? Harry! Is there anything you want to eat? I I’ll buy them all for you! And you two little guys too!”

Sirius's boldness instantly made the already exuberant joy of the three Harrys reach a higher level.

Especially Ron. This guy was so nervous that he couldn't speak for almost the entire trial. At this time, he finally let go of his nature and cheered loudly.

Just looking at their excited expressions, Dumbledore smiled, shook his head and said:

"Unfortunately, I can't attend your celebration because I have to attend a very special ceremony for the awarding of the Order of Merlin, Second Class."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment they were all speechless.

Blake's social skills have deteriorated after being locked up for more than ten years.

Harry and Hermione felt that such a big event was too far away from them.

Only Lupine stood there thoughtfully.

After a while, Hermione asked curiously:

"Who are you going to honor?"

Dumbledore smiled and said nothing, but Lupine stood up and said:

"Is it Link?"

Although it was a question, Lu Ping used an extremely affirmative tone.

After hearing this, Dumbledore nodded, confirming Lupine's conjecture.

"How, how is this possible?"

Harry and Ron screamed in unison.

They really couldn't believe Lupine's guess, because in their eyes, Link was the same little wizard from Hogwarts as they were.

Although Link is much better than them, and has previously won the third-level Order of Merlin.

How can a third-level medal be compared with a second-level medal?

The former can still be obtained through gold galleons and other shortcuts in the current social situation, but which one of the latter's recipients is not a famous big shot?

Ordinary wizards can only see this kind of person once or twice in newspapers.

How come they can't get in touch with friends like Link who often play with them.

So when they first heard the news, Harry and the three of them had an unrealistic feeling.

Seeing their reaction, Lu Ping shook his head and explained with a smile:

"This is actually not surprising at all. You must know that most of the credit for Peter Pettigrew's arrest this time was attributed to him."

As soon as he said this, Sirius snorted disdainfully.

He didn't have the slightest fondness for Link, the little snot-nosed guy who liked to follow Snape.

Harry and Hermione fell silent with complicated expressions.

They couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong about what happened last semester, but after such a long time, they had realized that the relationship between themselves and Link might not be able to go back to the past.

This makes them very disappointed.

Among the crowd, only the simple and simple Ron was still smiling.

He didn't think as much as Harry and Hermione thought, so he was really happy for Link.

Of course, there is also a sense of pride in this happiness.

At least when he goes out to chat with people in the future, he can bring Link out to brag.

Ron was even fantasizing about borrowing the Merlin Level [-] Medal from Link to visit in the future. He had never seen the real thing before!

It would be better if you could touch it!

Thinking of this, Ron's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

Dumbledore saw all their reactions, and he had no intention of persuading him. He just smiled mysteriously and said:

"It's getting late, and I have to leave. Of course, I also wish you a happy celebration."

After saying this, Dumbledore quickly walked out of the courtroom.

Harry and others were also awakened by Dumbledore's words. After Lupine stepped in to calm the atmosphere, they also left the Ministry of Magic as originally planned and went to find a place to celebrate.

……

At the same time, on the other side, Fudge had taken a kind of guest upstairs in a special magic elevator.

Along the way, people's topics gradually changed from the previous trial to the following award ceremony. As the recipient of the award, Link naturally became the protagonist of the topic.

As a result, Link and the three of them were in the same situation as they were at the beginning, where they were surrounded by people who kept complimenting them and talking to them.

Even many Wizengamot councilors came to Link's side and greeted him.

Mrs. Foley and Emily were already familiar with this situation, and they were able to cope with whoever came up to say hello along the way.

Link was originally not good at dealing with this. After all, neither Link nor the original owner had much experience in dealing with such scenarios.

But with the blessing of the expression management of Occlumency LV5 and the passive ability of Legilimency, he still seems to be doing well.

The group of people walked into the small auditorium talking and laughing.

This is where the investiture ceremony took place when Link was last awarded the Order of Merlin, Third Class.

However, Mrs. Forgivli obviously would not be so perfunctory as to still use the last venue to hold this ceremony.

After Fudge asked everyone to rest here for a while, he mysteriously took out a stick, or a branch, because there were even fresh green leaves on it.

Fudge used the branch to draw a huge circle in the air.

Then something magical happened.

Following the trajectory of the branches, the space along the way was immediately torn apart, revealing a completely different scene from the auditorium inside.

That is a magnificent palace floating above the clouds!

"Please! Everyone! Let us officially enter the venue of this ceremony!"

Following Fudge's extremely excited invitation, the amazed guests in the auditorium passed through this spatial portal one by one.

Link and Mrs. Foley, as the protagonists of this ceremony, naturally walked at the front.

"This is the temple of Sir Merlin. It is the embodiment of wizards' highest skills in space magic! Those crazy wizards directly stripped off a small piece of space in the real world, and then built such a secret realm inside! This place is absolutely It is kept safe and confidential. Unless you have the 'key', no one can break into this place. Generally speaking, this temple will only be used to hold the gathering of Lord Merlin every five years. But this time, they have arranged for you, the historian. The youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin Level 5 in history has made a special exception!"

As they walked, Mrs. Foley also explained softly in Link's ear.

Although Mrs. Foley did not mention her role in this at all, Link knew clearly that Fudge himself would never be so kind to Link.

For this so-called special case, Mrs. Foley must have spread a lot of benefits.

This made Link's throat feel tight, as if something was stuck inside, and he was filled with emotion.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me, mother."

In the end, Link finally spoke out what was in his heart.

After hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Foley's face became even brighter.

She held Link's hand tightly, shook her head and said:

"This is what I should do, and Emily and I have also benefited from you. Otherwise, based on our abilities, we would never have the chance to come to a place like this in our lives!"

Emily also came over, held Link's other hand tightly, and nodded in agreement.

She really felt that way.

The temple they are in now is the absolute core display of technology in the wizarding world, and this is not just about the temple itself.

For example, every column and wall here is made of special mithril mixed with dozens of metals. It is not only beautiful, but also extremely resistant to corrosion and magic. It can be called the highest masterpiece of alchemy!

In addition, every piece of tableware here is attached with at least four different magic spells, so that it can be always clean and the food inside can never be eaten.

Similar special technologies are used on every item in the temple. It can be said that everything here is the highest achievement of the wizard civilization!

This made every guest who came here feel stunned and shocked for a while.
