"I think everyone should know something about what happened in Japan at the beginning of the summer vacation. At that time, a group of Japanese anti-Ministry of Magic attackers attacked the Alchemy Competition site-"

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the medal ceremony began. As the Minister of Magic, Fudge was the first to stand on the stage and started chattering.

For Fudge, a pure politician, he would naturally not miss this good opportunity to show his face. It's just that it's a bit annoying for those below. "

"The guy next to Fudge must be Umbridge." Although Hugo pretended to listen to Fudge and nodded from time to time to pretend to be interested, he was actually chatting with the company through the Admiral Network.

"That's right, this is the only guy with a face like a toad and wearing pink." The company looked at it for a while, sometimes lowering his head to write something in the notebook, sometimes raising his head to look at it with admiration. Umbridge said, holding Fudge.

"But to be honest, this guy should be Fudge's confidant in the Ministry of Magic. Of course, I don't think Umbridge is loyal to Fudge, she is just loyal to her power and status."

"Because of Hugo's bravery, all the contestants and teachers who were held hostage were successfully rescued, and the attacker was also controlled, allowing the entire attack to be perfectly resolved."

"So after discussion among all the members of the Order of Merlin, it was decided to allow Mr. Hugo Granger to join the Order of Merlin in accordance with the regulations of the Order of Merlin, and to award him the Order of Merlin, First Class."

"On behalf of Sir Merlin, I pay my highest tribute to Mr. Granger. No one at his age has ever been so honored before."

Those in the audience who participated in the medal ceremony fell into a brief silence, because many people had only received news that a Sir Merlin First Class Medal was awarded today, but they did not know who the winner was.

After a few seconds of silence, there was a buzz below, and almost everyone was discussing the matter of Hugo winning the award.

Because the Order of Merlin is so important, it can even be considered the highest honorary medal in the Western world. Countless wizards dream of obtaining such a medal.

However, except for a few people like Sirius's grandfather or Fudge who used their power and money to buy medals, most of the recipients have made great contributions to the wizarding world.

For example, recipients of the third-level medal are required to be those who have contributed to knowledge or entertainment. It is the easiest to obtain among the three levels of medals.

But Lockhart also spent more than ten years and plagiarized the experiences of dozens of people in order to obtain this medal. He didn’t get it until he became the first person in the world of popular fiction.

The first-class medal simply requires hard work. According to modern records, at least 1/3 of first-class medal recipients were awarded posthumously. For example, Peter, who faked his death and escaped, received one.

For many people, when they heard that a thirteen-year-old boy had received this medal, they were in disbelief at first, but after thinking about it, they felt that this was also a reasonable thing.

After all, Tilly Toker and her family had received a First Class Medal for saving a large number of Muggles during the Ilfracombe Incident in 1932, and Hugo's contribution this time was as There wasn't much difference that time.

So everyone found that if Hugo's age is ignored, then he deserves this medal. It is at least better than the first-class Merlin Fudge received in recognition of his work for the Ministry of Magic. Medals are more reasonable.

Next, Hugo, wearing a school uniform, was led by Fudge, the first recipient of the medal, to Professor Dumbledore, and then the principal pinned the medal to his chest.

There was applause for a moment, and then he turned around and lined up with the members of Sir Merlin who came to greet him. And the reporters below the stage took pictures of them.

"Mr. Nick Flamel entrusted me with this notebook for you." After walking out of the crowd of noisy reporters, Principal Dumbledore leaned over and handed a small notebook to Hugo.

"Although you only got second place this time due to an accident in the last race, Nicoléme admires you very much, so he asked me to give you this notebook he used when he was young."

"Don't underestimate this notebook." Dumbledore explained from the side as Hugo looked curiously at the notebook that was only the size of a smartphone in his previous life.

"Although this thing looks no different from an ordinary notebook, it actually records a lot of Nicoléme's knowledge, so when you use it, just write the questions you want to ask on it, and most of them will be answered. ”/

"Why does this thing sound like the one from last semester -" Hugo frowned subconsciously after hearing what Principal Dumbledore said.

"Don't worry, this is completely different from the Voldemort's diary from last semester." Seeing the troubled expression on Hugo's face, Principal Dumbledore immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"This is just a powerful alchemy item, and there is no danger in it. Of course, when you ask, it is best to ask about something more standard. If it is not standard, it is easy to not get the correct answer."

"Understood, thank you, Professor." Hugo bowed to the principal and put away the notebook. However, before he could say anything, several reporters came over and called him for an interview.

These interviews were basically arranged by Fudge. In any case, such a big mistake in this competition is a serious problem, so the minister hopes to use the only shining point to highlight the British Ministry of Magic, or to be precise, he of credit.

Finally, after two hours of tossing, the awarding ceremony was finally over. Hugo rubbed his face that was about to freeze with laughter and walked home with Enterprise.

To be honest, Hugo didn't quite fit the occasion. Fortunately, there are many ship girls who are proficient in this kind of work, so with their help, Hugo still looked quite graceful during the whole ceremony.

After returning home, the Grangers and Hermione naturally started asking Hugo questions. Hugo spent a lot of time convincing his parents that he was just participating in an ordinary competition and traveling around Japan.

"It's great that you can come back safely." After eating and going upstairs, Hermione rushed up to Hugo and hugged him. "I didn't even dare to show the Daily Prophet to my parents because I was afraid they would worry about you."

"Don't worry, it was just a little accident." After ending the hug, Hugo said seriously to his sister, "Look, don't I come back well now -"

"By the way, we have bought all your things this year." After chatting for a while about what happened in Japan, Hermione said to Hugo, "We went to Diagon Alley with Harry three days ago. , and by the way, I bought all the things I need for school.”

"That's good news. At least I don't have to make another trip." After hearing this, Hugo breathed a sigh of relief. Because today's award ceremony will probably be seen in the Daily Prophet tomorrow, and if you go to Diagon Alley at that time, you will definitely be looked at like a panda.
