The day of the duel at Hogwarts

"Hello, Professor Snape."

"Hello, Mr. Bursted."

Gavin shook hands with Snape and said with a smile: "I have never thanked you for your help to Sean. Without your enlightenment and guidance, Gavin may not have achieved what he has achieved now."

"I am a professor at Hogwarts, and I teach the entire potions science at Hogwarts. However, only Sean can achieve something. His achievement depends entirely on himself."

"Anyway, I would like to thank you for your teaching."

As the awards ceremony gradually filled up, the lights at the ceremony venue dimmed, replaced by a brighter stage.

The editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief walked into the venue. Looking at the dimmed venue, he said helplessly in a low voice: "I told you to be early, but you insist on coming early. How are you going to find a seat now?"

The editor-in-chief replied in a low voice while finding his own position with the editor-in-chief: "My thesis test will be over soon. If I give up midway, it would be a waste of raw materials and it would be disrespectful to the author of the paper."

"Have you passed the test on the paper?"

"No, there are many errors in it. The answers in the paper are more like guesswork."

"Then it's over. There's something wrong with that paper at first glance, but you insist on testing it."

"This is my duty...ah, I found it!"

The editor-in-chief reached out and grabbed the editor-in-chief's arm, and took two quick steps. Before the lights in the venue were completely extinguished, the two of them finally sat in their own seats in the third row.

As soon as the two people sat down, a middle-aged wizard wearing a purple robe and a silver W badge on his chest came to the stage. A beam of light fell, and the middle-aged wizard immediately started.

"Gentlemen and ladies, the triennial Golden Crucible Awards Ceremony in the magical world has officially begun. In the past three years, countless potion masters have submitted articles to "The Golden Crucible", many of which have had a huge impact on the magical world. , the authors of these papers and theses have changed the lives of thousands of people. These authors include potion masters from abroad and even outside Europe. They have traveled thousands of miles to come here and will compete for the gold medal later. Best Overseas Paper Award at the Crucible Awards Ceremony.”

At this point, the host's words came to an end, and the audience below responded with warm applause.

After the applause subsided, the host continued: "Among the potion masters who have submitted papers in the past three years, there are a few who are very special. They are young and energetic. Their papers may be immature, but they have a youthful quality that cannot be ignored. Creative, they will compete for the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Crucible Awards."

The same applause sounded again, and Sean could clearly feel that many eyes were on him.

Next, the host introduced the awards one by one.

Sean applauded seriously along with the others every time, but in fact he was already distracted and didn't know what to think.

It took about half an hour for the host's opening to end.

Then the female wizard walked onto the stage, stood on the right side of the stage, and began to host the award ceremony.

The order in which the awards were presented was in the order in which the previous male wizard presided over the opening ceremony.

The first award is the Best Overseas Paper Award.

There are four nominations for the award, belonging to France, Germany, South Africa and Australia.

Among them, the South African magic world and the Australian magic world are both radiation areas of the European magic world. Naturally, their wizards also attach importance to the journal "Golden Crucible".

In the end, the Best Overseas Paper Award was won by a wizard from South Africa. He created a magic potion called Kebianxiao, which can deal with most of the diseases in Africa. And the magic medicine that can deal with most of the diseases in Africa will naturally be effective against European epidemics had a remarkable effect.

It stands to reason that this is a very great invention.

But it is a pity that for those diseases, there are actually magic potions that can treat them. However, the effect of those magic potions is slightly single, and they can only treat similar diseases. They are not as convenient as Kebingjie, which can treat most diseases at once. , and the cost of cough cure is also slightly high, which is not something ordinary wizards can afford, so in summary, it only won the Best Overseas Paper Award.

Of course, for the South African wizard, this award is enough.

In the South African magical community, such an award is enough to gain him huge prestige and benefits. When he returns to South Africa, he will be qualified enough to compete for a pretty good position in the South African Ministry of Magic.

The South African wizard was presented with the award by the Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic.

The black-skinned South African wizard was so moved that he burst into tears. In the end, he just said a few words and walked off the stage with his trophy.

Next is the Best Newcomer Award.

There are still four people nominated, including Sean.

When she saw Sean's image appearing on the magical phantom, Elena grabbed Sean's arm excitedly.

Feeling Elena's nervousness, Sean glanced at the extremely calm Gavin, and a premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

Turning his head, Sean whispered to Elena: "Grandma, there is no need to be nervous, this award is not for me."

Hearing this, Elena was stunned for a moment, looked at Sean in disbelief, and asked: "Why? Among these people, no one is more qualified to be the winner than you. Are all those who evaluate the awards blind? ?"

Gavin naturally heard what Sean and Elena said. Gavin was not surprised by his wife's words. Instead, he was a little surprised by Sean's words. He turned to look at each other. Gavin was waiting for Sean's next words.

At the same time, Snape's ears perked up, ready to hear what Sean had to say.

"Grandma, this is actually a good thing. I am indeed a newcomer who came out in the past three years, but the quality and quantity of my papers are not at the level of a newcomer. Even in terms of quantity and quality, I have been better than me in the past three years. There are very few people. At most, only Master Damocles, the original inventor of Wolfsbane potion, can beat me.

In this way, I am no longer a newcomer in the traditional sense. Although I am new enough, my results are already at the level of a real Potion Master. Therefore, my battlefield is not the Best Newcomer Award, but the final award. , that is my real battlefield. "

As Sean finished his words, the Best Newcomer Award was announced.

A 23-year-old young wizard won this award. His underwater breathing potion is cheap and can play a good role in certain conditions.

This result surprised many people. They thought that this award must go to Sean, but it was an upset. Some of them thought it was a shady story, but others figured out the different meanings. I am even more excited about what Sean may achieve.
