The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link was shaken awake the next day by Mrs. Foley.

She was obviously very surprised by Link's sudden return, and regardless of Link's sleepy and tired state, she directly pulled Link downstairs.

And chatted with Link all morning in the name of having breakfast.

Link was speechless at this, but still complied.

Because Mrs. Foley made him feel the warmth of a family, which he had not seen for a long time.

During the chat, Link naturally told Mrs. Foley all about his encounter in the chapel and the reasons why he came back early.

As he expected, Mrs. Foley understood his behavior.

Even Link, who had mastered the Legilimency Spell, could read a sense of joy and relief from Mrs. Foley's expression and tone.

Link estimated that Mrs. Foley probably did not expect Link to complete the entire treatment from the beginning.

To be able to reach this level may be beyond her expectation.

It is worth mentioning that.

When Link mentioned that he had pointed his wand at Dr. Kane last night, Mrs. Foley's face instantly turned pale.

At the same time, he kept shouting Merlin, Merlin, Merlin.

It looked like it was a miracle that Link hadn't been torn to pieces by Dr. Kane after doing such a thing.

But when Link took this opportunity to continue to explore Dr. Kane's background, Mrs. Foley refused to say anything.

Link had no choice but to give up. After resting for a while, he returned to the room to continue studying the special meditation method he learned from Dr. Kane.

He had even planned to devote most of the rest of his vacation to it.

In order to get in touch with the power that Dr. Kane said was buried in his blood.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes after all.

Throughout the next week Mrs. Foley maintained her amazing enthusiasm.

She gave up all her work and stayed in Forlì Castle to eat and chat with Link every day.

This left Link quite speechless, because Mrs. Foley seemed to have endless things to say and would often pull him to chat all afternoon.

But Link can understand this.

After all, Mrs. Foley had very few opportunities to communicate with her son, so it was normal for this to happen.

It's unscientific to see two people with a deep bond who haven't seen each other for a long time, but then meet each other in silence.

Of course, enthusiasm will eventually fade.

After a week, Link clearly felt that Mrs. Foley spent a lot less time clinging to him.

But just when Link thought that Mrs. Foley would be like the parents in his previous life who were extremely enthusiastic about their children at the beginning of the holiday, but then became disgusted with them as time went on, reality slapped Link again.

Because he ignored one thing.

That is, the Foley family is not like most families in previous lives who generally did not achieve financial freedom.

He has a lot of gold galleons at home.

And having money means that you can use other interesting activities to continue this passion.

That's what Mrs. Foley did.

She called Emily directly, and then she took Link and Emily on countless entertainment activities such as horseback riding, traveling, enjoying Muggle food, shopping, etc.

It kind of means that Link should be immersed in eating, drinking and having fun throughout the holiday.

And in order to convince Link to enjoy it with peace of mind, Mrs. Foley also came up with a very reasonable explanation.

'These recreational activities can fully relax your tense spirit and make your spirit stronger!In this way, wouldn't you be better able to resist the influence of that bloodline? '

This reason is so powerful that Link can't find any way to refute it.

By this time, Link had basically given up on his previous so-called plan.

Because although this kind of eating, drinking and having fun does not do much good for Link's strength growth, it is really fun!

Unfortunately, not long after Link really calmed down and prepared to enjoy it, the chubby Minister of Magic Fudge knocked on the door of Forlì Castle.

At this time, Link, Mrs. Foley and Emily had just returned from shopping outside, and a large number of shopping bags almost filled the entire castle hall.

Upon hearing Little Button's hurried report, the three people present who were discussing interesting things during today's shopping were stunned for a moment.

"What is he doing here?"

Link pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked.

After hearing this, Mrs. Foley moved her neck and said:

"Who knows? But it's not good to keep guests waiting outside. Anyway, little button, you should lead him in first."

As soon as he said this, the little button snapped his fingers and disappeared.

After a while, he led Fudge in.

"Hahahaha! Mrs. Foley, your castle is really spectacular! I dare say that this is definitely the best private castle in the entire country!"

As soon as he walked in, Fudge started laughing and bragging about Forlì Castle.

After saying that, regardless of how Link and the others reacted, they walked straight to Mrs. Foley and said:

"It's been such a long time, Mrs. Foley! I heard that you have been living a warm and leisurely life at home with your son. This makes me so envious!"

As he spoke, Fudge extended his hand as if to shake hands with Mrs. Foley.

It's a pity that by this time, Mrs. Foley had already returned to her usual cold demeanor in front of outsiders, and she didn't show any intention of reaching out to cooperate with Fudge.

Not only her, but also Emily had the same expression.

The two of them are standing together now, and if you don't look at their appearance and body shape, they almost look like they were carved from the same mold.

"Don't do unnecessary words or actions." Mrs. Foley said coldly, "Just tell me the purpose of your visit this time. We don't have much time to spend with you."

As soon as Mrs. Foley said this, the scene instantly became more embarrassing.

Fortunately, Fudge was thick-skinned enough. He put away his hand, rubbed his suit jacket unnaturally twice, and then said with an awkward smile:

"Ha~ha! Mrs. Foley is as straightforward as ever. Actually, I'm mainly here to see Link this time."

"Find me?"

Link said somewhat surprised.

Mrs. Foley and Emily on the side also frowned.

"Yes! Link! Do you remember when you captured Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew?"

Fudge said with a smile, "The Wizengamot Council will conduct the final trial on this case in a week! I am here to invite you to observe the trial. In addition, the Daily Prophet will arrange for a reporter to come over in the next few days. I will interview you about this case. I have prepared the manuscript for you, and I hope you can cooperate."

As he said this, Fudge handed Link a wax-painted invitation.

"I'm sorry, I've been a little tired recently. Minister Fudge, you'd better hire another capable person. I think Professor Snape is a good candidate."

Link refused with almost no hesitation.

Because he really has no interest in the fate of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.

In addition, the interview activity Fudge mentioned was obviously not a worry-free job.

He doesn't lack that kind of reputation at all now, so naturally he doesn't want to go to that trouble.

Mrs. Foley and Emily were not happy when they heard this.

Start helping Link say some words of rejection.

You must know that they are having fun playing with Link every day. Fudge wants Link to leave them and get busy again. This is simply a joke!

However, amid all the rejection, Fudge always kept smiling.

He waited until everyone had finished speaking, then cleared his throat and said very confidently:

"Link, I can help you turn down the interview, but you will regret it if you don't attend the Wizengamot trial."

"Really?"

Link raised his eyebrows and spoke word by word.

Mrs. Foley and Emily looked at Fudge with unkind eyes.

Obviously, they all heard a hint of threat in Fudge's words.

"Yes, because after the trial is over, we will also hold a grand award ceremony for you." Fudge was not afraid at all, he straightened his belly and said, "Medal of Merlin, Second Class! Congratulations to you, Lin K! After discussions with all the members of Sir Merlin, we all agree that you are definitely worthy of this honor!"

"What? Are you going to award Link with the Order of Merlin, Level [-]?!"

Mrs. Foley and Emily suddenly stood up and screamed in unison.

"Yes! You heard me right!"

"This is simply... awesome!" Mrs. Foley clenched her fists and turned to shout at Link, "Minister Fudge is right! Link! You have to watch that bullshit trial! Not only You and our whole family are going!"

"I also need to go!"

Emily said hurriedly.

Mrs. Foley smiled and touched Emily's face and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about, little Emily! Don't you already belong to my family?"

Such straightforward words made Emily blush and ran back to her room shyly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Foley burst out laughing, turned around, and started chatting non-stop with Minister Fudge about Link's acceptance of the medal.

This attitude has completely changed 360 degrees from just now.

Looking at this scene, Link shook his head speechlessly.

Mrs. Foley is good at everything, but she cares too much about the badge of Lord Merlin.

But that's not surprising.

After all, this was an obsession shared by the original owner and Mrs. Foley, although this injustice had already been done by Link a few years ago through the third-level Order of Merlin.

But Mrs. Foley was not one to turn down another opportunity to satisfy herself.

What really surprised Link was Fudge.

Link really didn't expect that Fudge, who had been trying to impress others for thousands of years, actually fulfilled his promise this time and got him a second-level medal of the Order of Merlin.

Although there is an element of Fudge making a deal with Link and the Foley family for his own benefit, it is enough if the other party can do this.

Thinking of this, Link could only sigh and continue to watch Mrs. Foley and Fudge talking about the specific matters on the day of the award.

……

A week later, in the early morning, Link got up early at the urging of Mrs. Foley and Emily and started dressing and washing.

Unlike the last time he was awarded the honor, this time Link no longer needed to wear the Hogwarts uniform to show his identity as a student.

Therefore, Mrs. Foley not only made custom-made dresses for herself and Emily, but also made Link a dress of similar style.

Of course, the color is still a deep black.

After all, this is the representative color of the Foley family.

Later, the three of them did not use the Floo Network, which would stain their clothes, but directly sat in the flying carriage and let the little button take them to the Ministry of Magic.

The hall of the Ministry of Magic can be described as magnificent.

The floor here is entirely composed of polished dark wooden floors, and the peacock blue ceiling is inlaid with countless sparkling golden symbols. They are constantly moving and changing, a bit like the large pixels from Link's previous life. Make up the screen.

In the middle of the hall stands a group of large solid gold statues.

The tallest among them was a noble wizard, holding his wand high and pointing straight to the sky.

Surrounding him were a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house elf.

They all raised their heads and looked at the wizard in admiration.

Several columns of clear water were constantly gushing out from all parts of the statue, forming a small pond in the concave base below the statue.

The bottom of the pond is filled with countless shiny coins, most of which are copper nats and silver coins. Only if you look carefully can you find some scattered gold coins.

Link bet that anyone who was born into wizarding society would be shocked and speechless when they first came to the Ministry of Magic.

This is not just because the decoration here is too luxurious.

It's because there are so many people here.

Just like now, countless wizards and witches are constantly entering the halls of the Ministry of Magic through the golden floo network fireplaces embedded on the walls on both sides or by apparating.

Then he walked in a hurry and went to work at his post through the magic elevator.

If you ignore the existence of various magics, this place is simply a crowded transportation hub.

This kind of scene of people coming and going is quite rare in the wizarding world.

Link and Mrs. Foley, as invited guests, naturally did not have to crowd with the Ministry of Magic employees.

They also don't need to undergo a series of conventional examinations such as wands and multi-soul spells.

In fact, not long after they appeared in the hall, a beautiful female clerk wearing a Ministry of Magic uniform ran over on high heels and led Link and the three of them to the special magic elevator.

Unlike other elevators, the elevator where Link and the others were sitting was equipped with a male waiter wearing a bright red uniform.

Seeing Link and the others coming in, he bowed respectfully and then pressed a certain switch with his wand.

With the sound of the chain snapping, the elevator slowly descended.

"Ninth floor, Department of Mysteries."

With the sound of a cold female voice, the elevator also stopped.

The female receptionist and the waiter in red hurried forward to open the fence, bent down and said:

"Please, distinguished guests."
