The auditorium gate was opened, Felch bent down and made a gesture to invite in
Amelia walked in in a capable black wizard robe, following her four Aurors in brand new uniforms.
The Minister of Magic is not 100% safe in extraordinary times. In fact, if he goes somewhere else, Chris will follow her.
But at Hogwarts, under Zhou Hao's eyes, no one can move the person Zhou Hao wants to keep.
The warm applause rang, especially the girls' applause was the most active. Hermione blushed excitedly. The first female minister of the Ministry of Magic, she admired Amelia very much.
According to the original plot, Hermione will sooner or later become the Minister of Magic.
After the applause, there were many discussions, and everyone was curious about why the Minister of Magic came back to attend the opening ceremony of Hogwarts.
Amelia walked up to the rostrum gracefully, Dumbledore smiled and stretched out his hands to hug Amelia, before Amelia turned to the auditorium.
She looked around and the originally noisy environment immediately became quiet.
"In this difficult time, it's great to see so many energetic faces. The more difficult time, the more likely it is to appear heroes..."
She said this and looked at Zhou Hao of Gryffindor and shouted: "Mr. Zhou Hao Shafik solved a big problem for the magic world. The curse of the blood curse orc is a problem that plagues the entire magic world, but Mr. Shafik rescued a blood curse orc and completely erased the blood curse. This is a milestone achievement and is a unique treatment method created by Mr. Shafik. Therefore, the Sir Merlin decided to make an exception to award the "Second Class Merlin Medal" to a minor wizard! Please invite Mr. Shafik to the stage!"
Zhou Hao sorted out his robe and walked up to the rostrum with a calm look on his face.
Amelia took the initiative to reach out to Zhou Hao and said, "Hello, Mr. Shafik."
"Hello, ma'am! It's a great honor to see you!"
After a nurturing greeting, under the envy of most people, a brand new second-level Merlin medal was worn on Zhou Hao's chest.
He is the youngest winner, and in fact, the real merits of medals are not just these, the most useful thing is the donation to the Auror department.
Merlin's Medal seems tall, but there are many unworthy winners, such as Petr, who has never been taken back until his death.
Dumbledore was taken back just because he was suspected by Foggy, the fool.
It seems that this is the case with the Sir Merlin! But he is still the highest honor in the wizarding world.
The Order of Merlin was founded in the mid-11th century by the famous medieval wizard Merlin. It is the earliest magical organization established in the magic world and has a very high reputation.
Merlin hoped that the wizards would help non-wizards, so he founded the Order of Sir Merlin.
In the late 13th century, most wizards were persecuted by non-wizards. The Order of Merlin was suspended due to this. Merlin himself was also deeply hurt. He once wanted to disband the organization. Later, due to the establishment of the Ministry of Magic and the promulgation of the International Secretariat Act in 1689, the wizards completely turned to concealment, and the Order of Merlin began to operate again.
All wizards who contribute to the magical world joined the Order of Merlin and awarded medals to those who made outstanding contributions to living in harmony with non-wizards.
The Medal of the Merlin Order is an extremely honorable medal in the magic world. The highest honor in the magic world is to receive the Medal of the Merlin Order.
The reason why Sir Merlin is a highly valuable award is that the Ministry of Magic only has the right to nominate, and the real award needs to be selected by the judges within the Sir Merlin to evaluate it.
Of course, if you violate local laws, the Ministry of Magic has the right to take back the medal. Dumbledore is a good example, but now with the exposure of Voldemort, the medal has been returned to him.
Amelia hurriedly came and presented the medal and left in a hurry. Zhou Hao's popularity briefly overshadowed Harry. In fact, as he grew up, Harry would rather not have this reputation.
He has often imagined recently that if Voldemort chose Neville back then, then his parents might still be alive now, so he would not want to get the title of "Savior Star"
The reason why Zhou Hao awarded this honor is that a large part of the credit cannot be exposed for the time being. For example, he protected the Prophecy Ball, destroyed a Voldemort's Horcrux, and donated the equipment of the Ministry of Magic, a second-level Merlin Medal is worth it.
The Auror uniforms he donated greatly reduced the Auror's casualty rate and indirectly strengthened the Auror's combat effectiveness. It can be seen by the few battles between Death Eaters and Aurors.
Now the new Minister of Magic is very confident that he can beat Voldemort.
Saying Amelia who had left in a hurry, the smile on Dumbledore's face did not disappear. Zhou Hao's second-level Merlin Medal was also a honor for Hogwarts.
He continued, "Okay, your beds are waiting for you, as warm and comfortable as you expected, and I know your priority now is to have a good rest and prepare for class tomorrow. So, let's say 'good night'."
As usual, benches were pushed behind, making a harsh friction sound. Hundreds of students led by the chief began to leave the auditorium and walk towards the dormitory.
Zhou Hao and Hermione took the first-grade little guys into the Gryffindor common room, and the password was changed to "Husky"
The fat lady said this was a tribute to Zhou Hao, the winner of the "Second Class Merlin Medal". This news spreads very quickly between the ghost and the portrait.
-------------------------------------
the next day
The ceiling of the auditorium is blue with tiles and blue, with a few faint clouds floating, just like the sky outside the window with mullions.
Before dinner, Zhou Hao received a letter from the Owl. The Prophet Daily wrote to make an appointment for an exclusive interview. This is what the Ministry of Magic meant, but Zhou Hao still refused. He didn't need much fame.
While drinking porridge and eating eggs and ham, Harry and Ron told Zhou Hao and Hermione the embarrassing conversation they had with Hager the night before.
"He couldn't really think we would go to the magical beast protection class!" Hermione said with distress. "I mean, none of us actually showed...you know... showing any enthusiasm."
Ron said as he swallowed a fried egg whole. Watching him eat, Zhou Hao felt that his appetite had improved a lot. In the Muggle world, he could be an excellent food broadcast anchor.
He took a sip of milk and said, "Because we like Hagrid, we work hardest in his class. But he thought we liked that stupid homework. Who would go to his improvement class?"
Neither Harry nor Hermione answered. Hermione looked at Zhou Hao and said, "What N.E.W.T. courses will you apply for?"
Actually, it doesn’t matter what courses Zhou Hao is. It’s enough to understand some courses, but there is no need to study at the higher level.
"I will apply for the same course, anyway, it doesn't matter to me," Zhou Hao said with a smile.
They applied for N.E.W.T. courses to find a job in the future, and Zhou Hao really doesn't need to find a job to make money. Since Hermione doesn't want to learn the magical beast protection class, Zhou Hao doesn't plan to go.
If you plan to do the miraculous animals breeding industry, Hagrid's N.E.W.T. course is still necessary.
