Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Professor Dumbledore took Harry all the way to the Merlin Memorial Hall, which is the auditorium where the honor ceremony was held.

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Professor Dumbledore, and came up to shake hands or hug.

Although he was still with Harry, Professor Dumbledore still stopped several times and chatted for a while before getting away.

Professor Slughorn saw some old friends on the way, so he had already separated from them.

Along the way, Harry also met many people he knew, many of whom were magic masters whom he had met at Nicole's house.

There were also many people whom Harley didn't know deliberately came up to greet her, wanting to make friends with the protagonist of this award ceremony.

It was only an hour before the award ceremony, and Harry finally arrived at the Merlin Memorial Hall.

The inside of the Meilin Memorial Hall is much larger than it looks from the outside, probably because of the traceless stretching spell.

The auditorium is a semi-circular hall modeled on the style of the ancient Roman theater, but it is not an open-air building.

But the decoration styles on the walls are varied, and Harley can at least recognize the relief of the hunter path mythical creature form flame giant and the death path mythical creature form Feathered Serpent relief.

However, according to Professor Dumbledore, the former is a character in Norse mythology, while the latter is a character in Native American mythology.

Many decorations, including these reliefs, symbolize Britain's glory as the empire on which the sun never sets.

The decoration in the British style is the least, but there are thirteen statues close to the wall, twelve of which surround the audience seats, and one is located behind the rostrum.

Each statue wears a different style of helmet and holds a sword, representing King Arthur and his twelve knights of the round table.

The auditorium is already filled with seats, many of which are filled with gorgeously dressed middle-aged or elderly wizards.

As the protagonist of this ceremony, Halle's position is at the front of Merlin Memorial Hall.

Here is a location dedicated to Medal of Merlin recipients and their invited companions.

Harry was going to invite Hermione and Fleur, but Hermione was in France and it was too late to come back, and Ms. Maxime would bring Fleur.

So in the end, Halle chose to ask Professor Dumbledore to invite the four deans of Hogwarts.

As for Hagrid, he seemed to be planning something and had already fled to Egypt, so he couldn't come.

At this time, the deans were sitting in the first row of the Merlin Memorial Hall, surrounded by many former students and current Ministry of Magic officials.

Especially Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, both of whom have taught at Hogwarts for decades and have a very good reputation.

Even Slytherin, who doesn't deal with Gryffindor, most people respect Professor McGonagall very much.

The deans changed their usual style and put on their most appropriate dresses.

Especially Professor Snape, he was finally willing to change out of the black robe that had never changed for thousands of years, and wore a brand new dark green robe.

Harry, this way. Professor McGonagall greeted Harry, and rubbed her hair after Harry sat down,

Congratulations on winning the Order of Merlin First Class and the champion of the School of Magic Potions Tournament. You are worthy of being our Gryffindor student!

The surrounding wizards who graduated from Gryffindor also showed a little more pride on their faces, saying hello to their juniors.

Correspondingly, the smiles on the faces of several officials who graduated from Slytherin faded slightly.

The seats in the auditorium gradually filled up, and the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, also came, followed by many people.

Harry, my dear child. Minister Fudge greeted with a slightly exaggerated expression, with a smile on his face.

Although he hadn't caught Sirius yet, Harry's appearance still made him feel much better.

Fudge enthusiastically introduced the profound wizards to Halo: This is the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Burns;

This is Piers Thicknesse, Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement;

This is the one you should have met, the head of the Auror office, Rufus Scrimgeour...

Those who can come with Fudge are the core officials of the Ministry of Magic, and Harry saw an acquaintance inside, Lucius Malfoy, a senior adviser to the Minister of Magic.

Harry's eyes were normal when he saw Malfoy, but suddenly remembered that he seemed to have to settle accounts with him.

I don't know what will happen if you tell Lucius that he wasted Voldemort's life and may reveal Voldemort's secret?

Harry thought to himself that this would cause him more pain than killing Lucius Malfoy outright.

Lucius obviously saw Harley too, but his expression was normal, and he could even greet her with a smile.

...

With Secretary Fudge's arrival, the auditorium was almost empty.

From a distance, Harry saw Ms. Maxim sitting in the back row with Fleur, but the distance between the two was too far, so they could only greet each other with their eyes.

Finally, members of the British Wizengamot filled the remaining seats in the first few rows, all wearing fuchsia robes with a delicate silver W embroidered on the left front breast.

Professor Dumbledore, dressed in the same attire as them, stood up with an expression of great joy on his face.

He strode to the front of the auditorium, raised his head, and looked at everyone with his bright blue eyes through the half-moon eyes on the bridge of his hooked nose.

All eyes were on Professor Dumbledore, and he fell silent instantly.

This is the appeal of the greatest white wizard in this world! Many people sighed in their hearts, but the hidden emotions were different.

Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat and said in a loud voice:

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the Merlin Memorial Hall to participate in the 100th Order of Merlin Honoring Ceremony.

Professor Dumbledore gave a speech full of emotion, lamenting the changes in the wizarding world, and commending the winners of the Order of Merlin with the Blade for their contributions to the wizarding world.

Finally, he finally introduced the topic,

...And this time, we held the Order of Merlin Honor Ceremony to honor Miss Harry Potter.

When she was studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as a little wizard who was only twelve years old and hadn't finished her second year, she defeated a basilisk that had been hiding in Hogwarts for many years and hurt several little wizards.

Moreover, she also assisted the Ministry of Magic to solve an unsolved case 50 years ago, and found Gilderoy Lockhart who used black magic to usurp the identity of Slytherin's heir.

Therefore, on behalf of the Order of Merlin, the British Wizengamot and the British wizarding community, I would like to award Miss Harry Potter the Order of Merlin First Class!

(Thanks to Nine-Tailed Yanhu for the reward!)
