Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 182
Although he attaches great importance to honor and is very greedy when he asks for resources, this kind of gift that exceeds the reasonable range still makes him a little confused. You must know that there is no love for no reason in this world. Sometimes the more you take, the more you will pay back in the future. Also more.

"It seems that Moody's evaluation of you is correct. You are so humble and content at such a young age." Millicent Barnold nodded in satisfaction.

"As for awarding you the honor of 'Battle Hero', we also made a decision after careful consideration." Barty Crouch took over the conversation and said.

"The current wizarding world has just experienced a war, and there are still many remnants of Death Eaters hiding in the dark and trying to make trouble, so even now, it is impossible to talk about the real restoration of peace. Most wizards living in the UK are also Therefore, I was caught in a tangled emotion, celebrating the downfall of the mysterious man on the one hand, but also worried that the Death Eaters would endanger my own safety." Director Crouch explained.

Millicent Barnold also nodded, and then continued:

"So at this time, some morale-boosting news is very much needed. You defeated five Death Eaters as a minor wizard. This will shut up those cowards who overpromote the power of Death Eaters."

"At the same time, this can also show the determination of our Ministry of Magic to fight against the Death Eaters, and it can put pressure on those who are still trying to defend the Death Eaters."

"Besides, you are still a Muggle-born wizard. Because of the Mysterious Man, there are many Muggle-born wizards who have been living in fear. Many of them are afraid of going abroad to seek refuge. Now the number of wizards in the country is more than that of the war. It has dropped a lot before, and this arrangement is also a signal to appease these wizards."

"I'm sorry. Speaking of it this way, it may appear that we are being too utilitarian, but the British wizarding world is now recovering, and more good news needs to be spread to restore wizards' confidence in the Ministry of Magic."

Millicent Barnold was very straightforward and told Anduin why they made such a decision, which showed the minister's fair and candid side. Of course, it is also possible that she disdains to deceive a The little wizard.

"I see. Thank you for your frankness. If this is the case, I am honored to accept the award from the Ministry of Magic." Knowing the cause and effect, Anduin had a solid foundation in his heart, and he simply accepted it.

In his view, this kind of behavior is simply to set a role model and set a typical example. It was not uncommon in previous lives, just like the United States, for the sake of political correctness, put out a hodgepodge of African-American transgender polysexuality to become high-ranking officials. , the nature of a show is a bit more, but it is not a disadvantage to him in the end.

For Millicent Barnold, Anduin is really a good candidate. Judging from past experience, he has helped the Order of the Phoenix fight against the Death Eaters, so there is no problem in his position.

At the same time, Moody also has a high opinion of him. He has intersected with many members of the Order of the Phoenix, has a good reputation, and can independently fight against several Death Eaters. No matter whether he relies on his own force or alchemy props, this represents his strength. .

The most important thing is a good image. Originally, Millicent Barnold wanted to push Moody out. After all, he is the only Auror with enough achievements, but he still hesitates. The main reason is that he is really good-looking. It's scary and has the potential to backfire.

"In this case, you should go back and prepare well. The celebration banquet is currently scheduled for a week later, and we will announce it in the "Daily Prophet" later. If you need help with anything, you can directly contact Moody." Crouch Division He looked at Moody for a long time and motioned him to help Anduin.

"Don't worry, leave Anduin and let's go out and talk slowly." Moody enthusiastically pulled Anduin out of the minister's office.

Then he took Anduin back to his office and told him in detail the arrangements for the celebration banquet a week later.

"Is this going to be too grand?" After hearing the details, Anduin felt that it was a bit exaggerated. How come so many important members were invited, almost most of the members of the Wizengamot Council were invited.

"To put it bluntly, giving you honors and celebrations is secondary. It's mainly to put pressure on those pure-blood families. It's a pity that Torkiel is gone. Otherwise, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just use the Travers family to kill chickens and monkeys and withdraw. Take their seat in the Wizengamot, and let's see who dares to shelter the Death Eaters!"

For Moody, Anduin belongs to his own people, so what he said was very explicit, and he also revealed some of the minister's arrangements.

"Tokiel is gone? What do you mean?" Anduin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Huh, just as we were preparing for the interrogation, Tokiel died suddenly before he could speak. I don't know if he was cursed or poisoned. I guess the most likely thing is poisoning. Damn it, So far, the murderer has not been found, and there is not even a clue." Moody was very angry when he thought of this, and Scrimgeour still hasn't found the result.

Anduin was relieved to hear that there was no result, but he was very sure of Moody's ability to judge, and his guess was accurate enough. Fortunately, they had never seen such a thing as a cyanide poison sac, otherwise there would be exposure Danger.

"Tokyr was poisoned?" Anduin tried to change the subject, "Then I shouldn't be a target."

"They dare?" Moody's eyes widened. "You are a student of Dumbledore, and you will be a battle hero honored by our Ministry of Magic. If you want to touch you, give them eight guts."

But Anduin's words may have alerted Moody, making him feel a little uneasy.

So he continued to say to Anduin: "Why don't I find you a double-sided mirror, and if you are in danger, please contact me immediately."

"Uh, don't bother, I have this." Anduin took out a messenger amulet and said.

"What good thing is this?" Moody felt that Anduin was like a store, and he could take out some weird things at any time.

"Messaging Talisman 2.0 is my improved sample with added positioning function. I have the last one left in my hand. Here is one for you. If I am in danger, it will send out an emergency signal. It will emit red light and scream sound, and can show my location, if there is a blue light, it is an ordinary signal, which proves that I am looking for you, but it cannot show the location."

"Good thing, then if I receive your normal signal, I'll go to Longbottom's house to find you." Moody happily accepted the amulet, and asked Anduin to test it in front of him.

Then Anduin bid farewell to Moody, and took Vanessa to the Leaky Cauldron through Floo, and treated her to a good meal.
