Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 216 214. Merlin First Class Medal?
"Dumbledore, what do you think of this spell?"

Snape didn't notice the strange look in Dumbledore's eyes when he entered the headmaster's office. He repeated what Dudley had done in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Severus, what about you, what do you think?"

As Dumbledore, who stands at the top of the wizarding world, of course he knows the meaning of this spell.

The wizard who invented this spell will be rewarded with unimaginable glory.

"I think Dursley is good enough for a Merlin [-]st Class."

Snape looked at Dumbledore and said firmly.

Although the third-level Medal of Merlin is worthless and the second-level medal has a certain amount of water, the gold content of the first-level medal is still very high. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the wizarding world are eligible to be nominated. This is the highest honor in the wizarding world. It is also the least issued medal in the wizarding world.

Damocles Belby, the wizard who invented the wolfsbane potion a few years ago, won the first class Merlin Medal.

The Humanoid Restore Curse was a more excellent invention than the Wolfsbane Potion. If Dudley got this medal, it would be much easier for him to do whatever he did in the future.

And Dumbledore is the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and one of the duties of the Wizengamot is to award the Order of Merlin.

As the chief wizard, Dumbledore is the most qualified candidate to apply for the Order of Merlin for Dudley.

In other words, it is easy to understand - find acquaintances.

That's why Snape took Dudley to Dumbledore.

"Severus, that's just your opinion. You haven't asked Dudley yet, I want to hear what he thinks."

Dumbledore glanced at Snape meaningfully as he spoke.

It was the first time in all these years that he saw Snape so concerned about something other than Lily.

It was true that Dudley was Lily's nephew, but Snape didn't even pay attention to Lily's own sister Petunia, let alone just a nephew.

But one thing Dumbledore can be sure of is that Snape is really good to Dudley.

"Dudley, would you like to report this spell and make it public?"

"of course."

Dudley nodded, it never occurred to him to keep the spell.

But he added another sentence: "Professor, I want to add the name of the old wizard who proposed the idea of ​​the spell and initially developed it to the signature."

"His name is Highmel, a very good wizard."

If the other party can persist for a while, he can save him. Every wizard in Lockhart's story is extremely good, and their knowledge and experience are the most precious wealth.

"In that case, it's a joint name. If it's a joint name, you probably won't be able to get the Merlin First Class Medal."

Dumbledore stared at Dudley, he wondered what Dudley would choose, this 'bad guy' even said deliberately: "This is a discovery greater than Wolfsbane Potion."

"If you are the only one in the signature, you will get unimaginable glory."

Dudley shook his head resolutely: "It doesn't matter, Professor."

"One is one, and two is two. I'm just picking up people's teeth. Without him, there would be no humanoid recovery spell."

Dumbledore was very satisfied with Dudley's answer, and he didn't lose his eyes for the so-called honor. If he didn't take the initiative to say that no one would know about this wizard named Highmel.

Snape frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. If it was Lily, he would have made the same choice as him.He really likes this young man who has inherited Lily's talent and has the shadow of his former self.

"And it's just the Merlin Medal, even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter."

Such things as glory are dispensable to Dudley, and even a first-class medal is of no practical use except for pretending to be aggressive.

Others will not obey you unconditionally just because you have a first-class medal.

as something more practical
"Looks like Dudley, you've figured it out so what?"

"Professor, I want to join the Wizengamot."

The center of the wizarding world is the Ministry of Magic. Although this place is rotten, it is the undisputed core of power.

Although Fudge is described as a waste by those capable wizards, you have to obey what he said and the orders he issued, unless you are ready to turn the table and have the ability to turn the table.

Just like in the world of ordinary people, ordinary people in England often blackmail their prime minister, so what?Even if the prime minister broadcasts a live broadcast of a pig, the general public will at most use it as a conversation piece after dinner, and he is still the prime minister.

Dudley couldn't get into the Ministry of Magic until he graduated, although he hadn't planned to.

But the Wizengamot does not have this provision. As a combination of court and parliament, members of the Wizengamot have a high degree of freedom.

Entry is possible even without graduation, as long as you have the qualifications.

The Wizengamot has only fifty members at full capacity, and is a part of the top wizarding power circle. It is not much worse than the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, and its influence is even greater.

The most important point is that the Ministry of Magic of England is only the Ministry of Magic of England. Even though it is the oldest and most influential in the whole of Europe, it is only one of the Ministry of Magic, while the Wizengamot covers the whole of Europe.

"The Wizengamot." Dumbledore chewed on the name over and over again.

Dudley has ambitions and never hides his ambitions. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The ambition to acquire knowledge.

Eager to surpass the ambitions of the professor.

The ambition to become stronger.

Maybe that's why the Sorting Hat put Dudley in Slytherin.

But none of these ambitions are negative, like disciplinary groups.
Since the establishment of the discipline team, the school spirit of Hogwarts has really improved a lot. Since last year, there has been no campus bullying incident, and this year's first graders are particularly well-behaved.

This is why Dumbledore sided with Dudley in many things.

"I can nominate you. As for whether I can succeed, it depends on the votes of other members by show of hands."

Dumbledore said after thinking for a while.

"It's the same thing about the Order of Merlin, as I said. The Rehumanization Curse is a greater invention than the Wolfsbane Potion, not just for werewolves. Maybe those wizards who are troubled by the Blood Curse can also find a big solution."

"Professor, a blood curse is not the same as a werewolf."

Dudley shook his head.

It's not that he hasn't studied the blood curse. The werewolf turns into a beast, and the blood curse also turns a person into a beast. It sounds the same, but it's actually two completely different concepts.

Both the raging flames and the Fiercefire Curse can summon flames, but the fire they summon is not the same thing.

The blood curse is more complicated than werewolves. Werewolves can only affect one generation, except for the special werewolf born from the combination of these two werewolves in wolf form. , In the late stage of animalization, it will completely lose its memory and become a pure beast.

"But it's also an inspiration, isn't it?"

Dumbledore blinked, smiling.

It wasn't long before Snape and Dudley left the headmaster's office.

Dumbledore, who was about to eat some more candy and snacks, was suddenly noticed by a whimper, and he discovered the special werewolf who hadn't been taken away by the two and was forgotten in the corner naked.

"what?"
