Chapter 90 Awarding Medals (Modified)

Indeed, as Alan observed, wizards at the Ministry of Magic are proud to be awarded 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.

Although Allen is not too keen on this, after all, as long as your reputation is polluted, the medal may be withdrawn. However, he understood why wizards in the wizarding world were so enthusiastic about it.

The Merlin Sir Order was founded in the middle of the 11th century by the famous medieval wizard Merlin - 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.

For wizards who claim to be members of the upper class, obtaining the Medal of the Order of Merlin can show their status; and for wizards from the Ministry of Magic, obtaining the Medal can add a brilliant touch to their resumes, which is beneficial to themselves. future.

"Owen, let's hurry up so we don't miss the award presentation time." Morgan Le Fay urged. But soon, she herself slowed down and stalled for time.

Halfway down the hall is a group of slightly larger than life size golden statues standing in the center of a circular pool. The statues include wizards, witches, centaurs, goblins, etc., all carved lifelike. But it was not the fine statues that stopped Mrs. Harris, but the silver and bronze coins she saw gleaming at the bottom of the pool as she passed the fountain. And next to the pool there is a small, stained sign that reads:

All proceeds from the Enchanted Fountain will be donated to St Mungo's Hospital of Enchantment for the treatment of magical ailments and injuries.

Morgan Le Fay is a nurse at St. Mungo's Magical Hospital. She knows very well that the hospital really needs a lot of money to support it, so she took out a large handful of bronze Knuts without hesitation and sprinkled them into the pool. So is Daisy.

Don't ask why it's not Jin Gallon, the Harris family is obviously not that generous at the moment.

Gather sand to form a tower, accumulate less to make more, although Nat is small, his heart is heavy. There is absolutely no need to criticize too much. For ordinary people, on the premise that they can guarantee their own lives, they have good thoughts and do some good deeds, which are already very worthy of praise.

After that, their itinerary went smoothly. Realizing that the awarding time was approaching, Mr. Harris sped up and stopped showing off his medal to everyone he knew. They successfully passed the wand test, walked through a few doors, and came to a smaller hall, where at least twenty golden lattice-like elevators were working.

They lined up in front of a grid with less crowds and quickly entered the elevator. The elevator door slammed shut and began to climb slowly. When the same female voice Allen heard in the phone booth sounded again, the elevator chain clicked. The female voice announced the offices of each floor floor by floor, and people came and went.

Finally, only seven members of Mr. Harris' family were left in the elevator, and they went up to the first floor.

"The first floor is here, the office of the Minister of Magic, the logistics department, and the small auditorium." The female voice in the phone booth reported the address without emotion.

"We're here." Mr. Harris stepped out of the elevator first. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, Allen was in a daze. Isn't the Ministry of Magic underground?

"Dad, have we returned to the ground?" Emily spoke childishly, but asked the question Alan wanted to ask.

"We're still underground. Those are the magic windows.

The weather is determined by the Magic Maintenance Department every day. We had two months of hurricane weather during the last time they asked for a raise... TURN THIS WAY! "

They turned a corner and passed through two thick oak doors. Unlike the noise of the floors below, it was very quiet here. Unknowingly, their steps became lighter. Passing by the large office marked with the sign of the logistics department and the minister's office with the door closed, they walked to the end of the corridor, and arrived at the destination of this trip - the small auditorium.

The whole family arranged their clothes again outside the door. Mr. Harris pushed open the heavy door and walked in.

The moment they entered, several eyes fell on them. On the rostrum at the top of the auditorium, sat three wizards. Allen was pleasantly surprised to find that Professor Dumbledore was one of them, looking at him with a smile.

When the Allen family sat in the first row under the guidance of a tall and thin wizard, Allen found that his favorite professor, Flitwick, was also sitting in the first row, and waved to him with a smile. Without hesitation, Allen walked over to Professor Flitwick and sat down.

Not long after they sat down, the tall and thin wizard walked up to the rostrum and introduced the purpose of everyone's gathering here today and the guests present. It turned out that there were two other people on the rostrum, one of whom was the Minister of Magic Fudge, and the other was the chairman of the Wizarding Association-Ogilvy Scarman.

Next, Scarman once again preached the origin and status of the Order of Merlin. Allen noticed that, except for his little sister Emily, his family knew this very well, but they still listened with gusto. Mr. Harris looked even more excited and nodded repeatedly.

"For this awards ceremony, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, are specially invited as witnesses." After a long speech, we finally talked about the awards.

"I announce that Owen Harris and six others have been awarded the Order of Merlin, Third Class, for successfully subduing the mutated sea snake on the beach in Cornwall. Please come to the stage to accept the award." Chairman Ogilvy Scarman said happily Announcing it as if he had received the medal himself.

The younger sister, Emily, was entrusted by her mother Morgan Le Fay to Professor Flitwick's temporary care. Although she herself did not participate in the war, she was also named by Aunt Josephine. Although she didn't contribute to the sea snake incident, she was still considered a member of the Ministry of Magic after all.

Ogilvy waved his wand, and six beautiful gold medals with white ribbons floated in front of the Allen family. But Alan and the others didn't reach for it without authorization.

"Minister, principal, why don't we bring medals to them together?" Ogilvy invited Minister Fudge and Principal Dumbledore to bring medals to the Allen family together. They nodded readily.

Professor Dumbledore brought the beautiful medal to Allen, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Allen! You have set an example for the students of Hogwarts. It is said that you used the stun spell well at the end."
