The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Since it was an investiture ceremony held in the most important temple of Sir Merlin, so naturally most of the members of Sir Merlin in the world came to attend such a grand event.

Naturally, there are also famous and important figures such as Dumbledore and Newt whom Link is familiar with.

Of course, there are more old men and women that Link doesn’t know. These people look at Link in different ways, and most of them are kind and kind. Even some old antiques can’t stand the fact that Link, a so-called young boy, has achieved so much at such a young age. This honor is just a few sour words on the lips, and nothing bloody happened.

Just think about it.

How can old guys who can mix up to this level be simple?

Even if these people are dissatisfied with Link and Fudge, they will not jump out at this important moment.

However, despite the presence of so many important people, the person who awarded Link this time was not Dumbledore, but Fudge.

This was one of the benefits he received from Mrs. Foley in exchange for holding an investiture ceremony in the temple.

Taking this opportunity, he stood directly on the podium and gave a speech performance for more than half an hour.

Most of the content of his speech was to praise Link for his youthful achievements, but the core idea was to use praise to Link to highlight the Ministry of Magic and his personal outstanding ability in talent cultivation.

Due to his status, although most people present were not at all interested in such a long and nutritious speech, they still pretended to be interested in it.

Only Dumbledore and a few other very senior guys showed some obvious impatience, but even so, they did not jump out and scold him directly, but gave Fudge a certain amount of face.

This scene was all seen by Link who was also impatient to listen to the speech.

A flash of realization flashed in his eyes.

The Order of Merlin is different from the Wizengamot. It was originally an honorary organization that was above the world and transcended the world. It was composed of a group of pure people who truly wanted to benefit the world wholeheartedly.

This particularity causes every Sir Merlin to receive extraordinary respect from the outside world.

But now, this organization has become secular, smelled of gold galleons, and has begun to pay respect to the powerful.

This is really...a bit sad.

Link sighed with emotion, and then quickly smiled and shook his head.

Strictly speaking, he himself was also a beneficiary of the secularization of Sir Merlin, so who had the right to lament such a thing.

At this moment, Fudge finally finished his speech.

He seemed to be a little unfinished. I believe that if the protagonist of this award was not Link, he would probably talk for at least half an hour.

Fudge laughed and put a cross-shaped medal on Link's left chest with the abbreviation of Sir Merlin engraved in the middle and four roses on the edge.

At the same time he laughed and said:

"Link, congratulations! You are the youngest recipient of the Second Order of Merlin in history. History will remember you!"

'Yes, of course history will remember me, because the nature of my second-level medal of the Order of Merlin is essentially the same as the medal you issued to yourself.That's not a good reputation, you bastard! '

Link complained in his heart, but on the surface he used the expression management skills of Occlumency to the extreme. He raised the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a perfect smile that anyone would say yes to when he saw it, and he continued to humbly respond to Fudge's compliments.

Looking at this harmonious scene on the stage, everyone else in the Christmas room gave their applause without hesitation.

Among them, Dumbledore, Newt, Mrs. Foley and Emily are the most sincere.

I'm afraid that the only ones in the audience who are really happy for Link are the four of them.

With the official conclusion of the awarding of medals, the atmosphere at the scene became more relaxed.

Countless exquisite foods and drinks appeared on the long white table in the Christmas center, and the ceremony began to enter the stage of a buffet party.

This is also Mrs. Foley's favorite part.

She held a red wine glass, led Emily and Link through the crowd, and kept using her superb Versailles skills to show off her son to everyone present.

Listening to the flattery that may not be sincere from the people around her, Mrs. Foley's face that should have been as cold as ice in front of outsiders actually broke out into a bright smile.

Emily also looked very happy, even excited.

Because Mrs. Foley was constantly introducing her to the guests present.

The underlying meaning of this is almost to announce her status as Link's fiancée to the entire wizarding aristocracy of the country.

In easy-to-understand words, it is similar to the first time a foreign daughter-in-law comes home and is led by her mother-in-law to visit guests from door to door in her hometown village.

How could this make Emily unhappy?

Link actually didn't like to show off like this as a display, but seeing the two women he valued most in his life so happy, he could only try his best to cooperate.

Fortunately, Mrs. Foley grasped the scale of Versailles very well, and only let Link go after showing off for a while, allowing him to move around freely.

As for Emily, of course she still has to continue to show her presence by following Mrs. Foley.

So Link took some food and hid in a corner alone, and began to taste it.

This is the cooking skill of the best house elf in the world, it would be a shame not to eat it.

Just as Link was immersed in the delicious food, two familiar voices rang again.

"Link! Congratulations!"

"Ah, we rejoice together."

Link said perfunctorily while still stuffing a spoonful of custard into his mouth.

He was tired of hearing these words of congratulations today.

But when he looked back, he was stunned for a moment.

Because the people who just congratulated him were not the unknown third-rate wizard nobles he expected, but Dumbledore and Newt.

Seeing this, he hurriedly put down the plate, wiped his mouth with a tablecloth, and then bowed respectfully and said:

"Sorry, I was rude, Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Scamander. I deserve the Order of Merlin Level [-] this time. I am far from being able to shoulder this honor."

Whether it is Dumbledore or Newt, these two people are worthy of admiration in Link's heart.

Especially Newt, this is a real Sir Merlin!

Therefore, Link will not begrudge his respect to these two people.

On the contrary, Dumbledore and Newt were startled by Link's respectful look. They looked at each other blankly and then laughed in unison.

"Don't belittle yourself, Link." Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, "Your strength and hard work are truly valuable, I can prove this to you!"

"Thank you!"

Link was no longer modest this time, but accepted it calmly.

He actually thought so in his heart, but it was just out of his habitual and instinctive humility as a member of the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life.

At this time Newt also intervened.

He was not as polite as Dumbledore, but directly put his arm around Link's shoulders and said:

"Okay, stop talking about these boring topics, I'm tired of hearing them tonight!"

After saying that, he looked up and looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he said softly to Link:

"Link, actually, I have something I want to ask you to do!"

"Ok?"

Link raised his eyebrows and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Because when he thought about it, Newt basically had nothing to do with him other than asking him to accompany him on another adventure.

But before he could speak, Newt continued:

"As you know, the Quidditch World Cup finals will begin soon, and this time the host country will be China."

As soon as these words came out, Link was relieved at first, but then he became confused again.

As an important plot point, Link is naturally paying attention to the Quidditch World Cup, but what does Newt want him to do?

Thinking like this, Link nodded hesitantly and then tentatively said:

"so what?"

"Rolf insisted that he must go, but Tina and I were going on a long-lost private trip for two, and Rolf's parents were also working on the protection of magical creatures in Tanzania and had no time to come back."

Newt paused and said a little embarrassedly, "So, can you take Rolf to watch the game with you then?"

"You are the only young person I know who is suitable for this." Newt said as he stuffed a hard card with the emblem of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic into Link's arms, "This is A box ticket for the game, please, Link!”

Holding the high-quality box ticket in his hand, Link nodded without much hesitation.

He himself was going to watch the Quidditch World Cup.

Because an event that will have a very big impact will happen at the game venue, he must go there to stop it all.

Even though Rolf is basically a liability, it's not a big deal to bring him along.

And Link agreed so easily, and Newt was extremely touched.

He knew that Link had no interest in Quidditch at all, and he probably wouldn't have much interest in things like the Quidditch World Cup.

I'm afraid Link is willing to run this time just because of his friendship with him, right?

Thinking this way, Newt gritted his teeth and said to Link as if he had made up his mind:

"I won't say much more about thanking you. Link, I will bring you a gift when you come back from this trip. I will make sure you are satisfied!"

"Then I'll thank you in advance for the gift."

Link said with a smile. He didn't care about the so-called gifts. There was nothing else Newt could give him except magical animals.

And he felt that it was enough for him to have Yo-Yo and Arkham. If he had more, he wouldn't be able to support them.

……

The awarding ceremony lasted from noon to dusk, so it was already dark when Link and the other three arrived home.

After working hard all day, Link now wanted to go back to bed and have a good sleep.

On the other hand, Emily and Mrs. Foley were in good spirits.

The two of them are still in a state of excitement, constantly talking about the award ceremony just now.

Of course, what needs to be done still needs to be done, and Link informs Mrs. Foley about the Quidditch World Cup.

Neither of them had any objections to this.

Although they, like Link, have little interest in Quidditch.

But as long as I can hang out with Link, it will be treated as an ordinary family trip.

So the conversation between Mrs. Foley and Emily naturally shifted to what kind of dress to wear on the day of the game.

This time Link also rarely intervened and expressed his opinion.

He doesn't care about the style of the dress, but his dress must not hinder his activities. After all, he knows that he may have a tough battle to fight during the game.

Although Mrs. Foley felt a little strange about this request, she nodded and agreed without asking any more questions.

As long as Link doesn't like the restrictive feeling of traditional dresses, it's not a big problem.

Afterwards, Link took a shower with satisfaction and returned to his room.

Link must take a shower before going to bed, and also use good-smelling shower gel or soap. This is a habit he brought from his previous life - this not only cleans the body but also makes it smell good. Link likes to fall asleep smelling the fragrance. .Of course, this hobby is girly, so Link never told anyone.

In addition, Link has recently added a new habit, which is to perform special meditation for at least half an hour before going to bed.

The reason is also very simple. Meditation helps to increase the quality of sleep, so that you can have a dreamless sleep until dawn.

At the same time, Link also discovered the additional effect of that special meditation method - increasing the experience of Legilimency Spell!

For now, special meditation has even replaced repeated releases and has become Link's main means of gaining experience points for the Legilimency Spell.

But today, Link did not go to bed directly as usual. Instead, he sat at the desk in his pajamas and began to write a letter to Old Kled.

To put it in more detail, he was actually asking Kled to help him kill someone.

Kill Peter Pettigrew!

This matter cannot be delayed and must be done as soon as possible.

Because after tonight, Peter Pettigrew will be transferred to Azkaban by the Aurors for custody.

Although the Foley family is powerful, Link is not so powerful that he thinks he can easily send people into Azkaban to kill people.

So the only chance for now is to attack and kill Peter Pettigrew on his way to transfer!

The success rate for this matter is actually quite high.

After all, Azkaban is a fully closed prison with no floo network inside. It is also equipped with anti-Apparition spells and anti-Apparition spells (the kind of counter-curses that are also effective against house elves. From this perspective It is said that Azkaban is indeed the most heavily guarded prison in the world. After all, even Hogwarts does not restrict the disembodiment of house elves. However, it is not that Hogwarts cannot impose such restrictions, but it is for convenience The house elves in the kitchen are just working.), if you want to send people in, you can only reach the wizard's stronghold near Azkaban through the Floo network, and then change to a flying carriage.

As long as Peter Pettigrew dies, the subsequent progress of Voldemort's resurrection will be seriously delayed, thus buying Link a lot of development time.

Of course, all this depends on the performance of Lao Kelie.

It would be great if it could happen!

Watching the letter-posting owl disappearing, Link looked forward to it sincerely.
