All things are three at Hogwarts

Indeed, as Alan observed, wizards at the Ministry of Magic are proud to receive the Order of Merlin. In fact, although not all wizards can resist the temptation to obtain the Order of Merlin, members of the upper class and the Ministry of Magic are more concerned about it.

Although Allen is not enthusiastic about this, after all, as long as your reputation is tainted, the medal may be withdrawn.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

The Order of Merlin was founded in the mid-11th century by the famous wizard Merlin in the Middle Ages - it is said that he was also a graduate of Slytherin. The green ribbon on the Order of Merlin 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 is extremely prestigious. After several centuries of development, the Order of Merlin has now become the largest organization of outstanding wizards in the wizarding world. It is also the only wizarding group in the entire wizarding world that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic and is also recognized by the Ministry of Magic as an international organization of outstanding wizards. The Order of Merlin is a highly honorable medal in the magical world. The highest honor in the magical world is to receive the Order of Merlin.

For wizards who consider themselves to be members of the upper class, receiving the Order of Merlin can highlight their status; while for wizards from the Ministry of Magic, receiving the medal can add a glorious touch to their resume and benefit them. future.

"Owen, we have to hurry up so we don't miss the awards time," Morgan Le Fay urged. But soon, she herself slowed down, stalling for time.

Halfway down the hall there 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 of which are carved lifelike. But what made Mrs. Harris stop was not because of these exquisite statues, but because when she passed the fountain, she saw many silver and bronze coins shining at the bottom of the pool. Next to the pool there was a small, stained sign that read:

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

Morgan Le Fay was a nurse at St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic. She knew very well that the hospital really needed a lot of money to support it, so she took out a handful of bronze Nuts without hesitation and threw them into the pool. So does Daisy.

Don't ask why it's not gold galleons, the Harris family is obviously not that generous yet.

Gathering sand into a tower, accumulating a little into a lot, even though the number is small, the intention is heavy. There is absolutely no need to criticize too much. For ordinary people, having kind thoughts and doing good deeds on the premise of ensuring their own lives is already very worthy of praise.

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

They lined up in front of a space with less crowds and soon entered the elevator. The elevator door slammed shut and began to climb slowly. When the same female voice that Allen heard in the phone booth rang again, the elevator chain made a clicking sound. The female voice announced the offices on each floor one by one, and people came and went.

Finally, only Mr. Harris and his family of seven were left in the elevator, and they ascended to the first floor.

"Here we go, the first floor, 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 walked out of the elevator first. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, Alan was in a trance. Isn't the Ministry of Magic underground?

"Dad, are we back on the ground?" Emily said childishly, but she asked the question that Allen wanted to ask.

"We're still underground. Those are magic windows. The Magical Maintenance Department decides what the weather will be each 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 on the floors below, it was very quiet here. Unconsciously, their steps became lighter. Passing by the large office marked with the Logistics Office and the minister's office with the door closed, they reached the end of the corridor and arrived at their destination, the small auditorium.

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

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

When Allen's 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, waving to him with a smile. Without hesitation, Alan walked over and sat down next to Professor Flitwick.

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

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 members clearly knew this very well, but they still listened with interest. Mr. Harris looked even more excited and nodded repeatedly.

"For this award ceremony, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and the Principal of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, are specially invited as witnesses." After a long speech, the award ceremony finally came to mind.

"I announce that for successfully subduing the mutated sea snake on the beach in Cornwall, Owen Harris and six other people have been awarded the Order of Merlin, Third Class. Please come to the stage to receive the award." Chairman Ogilvy Scamman said happily He announced it as if he had received a medal.

The little sister Emily was entrusted by her mother, Morgan Le Fay, to the temporary care of Professor Flitwick. Although she did not participate in the war, she was named by her aunt Josephine. Although she did not contribute to the sea snake incident, she is still considered one of the Ministry of Magic's own people.

Ogilvy waved his magic wand, and six beautiful gold medals with white ribbons floated in front of the Allen family. But Eren and the others didn't reach out to take it without permission.

"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. They nodded in agreement.

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 coma spell well."
