I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Chapter 518 The Importance of Connections

The stadium has been given a new look, the facilities related to Quidditch have been completely dismantled, and a temporary venue for the Medal of Merlin award ceremony has been built.

The lawn was covered with soft carpets, the lamps illuminated the table, the table cloth was dazzlingly white, and there were silver samovars and translucent white porcelain tea sets on the table.

The invited guests included dignitaries from the Ministry of Magic, famous wizards, sports stars from the Quidditch World Cup, winners and their relatives and friends.

During the cocktail repertoire played by the orchestra, everyone greeted each other, greeted each other, offered tea, and chatted about some topics.

Sirius led Harry, Ron, Ginny, Percy and others through the crowd, and finally found a chair and sat down.

It was the first time for Harry and the others to participate in such a high-level banquet. In the past, they had only seen wizards in newspapers, radio broadcasts, and even textbooks, and they would appear in front of them one after another... as if in a dream.

Especially Ron, who sat on a chair and shouted excitedly:

"Harry, look... it's Krum! Viktor Krum! There he is... God, it's the first time I've seen him so close!"

Ron's yelling attracted a lot of attention, and Percy couldn't help frowning and said:

"For Merlin's sake, Ron, can you please keep your voice down? Everyone is watching us, look at you who have never seen the world!"

"But that's Krum..."

"What's wrong with Krum?" Percy said disdainfully, "It's just a Quidditch player."

"Just a Quidditch player?!" Ron stared at Percy blankly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"He's the best Seeker in the world!"

"Isn't the best Seeker a Quidditch player?" Percy reprimanded:

"Besides... What kind of champion is Krum? Can you play after winning the championship?"

"Percy, although you are a fake fan, but your opinion... I completely agree." Charlie, who just came back from Romania, said with a smile:

"Croom is strong, but he's not far behind Ireland's Seeker Aidan Lynch as 'best'.

After winning the World Cup, let's talk about who is stronger, don't touch porcelain now, say that Klum surpassed Peel without a championship, and surpassed Colin with one championship. "

Ron was stunned speechless. He quickly landed on the red-haired wizard next to Krum, and awkwardly changed the subject:

"Who's the guy talking to Krum? He looks like my cousin Dominic."

Sirius glanced at the man, and said with a smile: "Ron, is your cousin also the head of the Auror Office of the Norwegian Ministry of Magic?"

"Uh... that's not true." Ron shook his head quickly.

"His name is Pierce." Sirius grabbed a glass of cocktail, took a sip and said:

"When I chased a Death Eater to Iceland, I had a run-in with him, a guy who had just graduated from Durmstrang and was a trainee Auror.

He is now the head of the Icelandic Auror Office. "

"He's been head of the Auror office in only thirteen years?" Percy was a little shocked.

This rate of promotion is not uncomfortably fast.

"The exact statement is that it took seven years." Sirius corrected.

"How did you do it?" Harry asked curiously, "Has Pierce made any great achievements?"

"I've never heard of that." Sirius shrugged and said, "But Pierce's father was the former director of the Auror Office in Iceland."

"..."

Harry was a little speechless, he thought there was something special about this guy.

Sirius joked: "So, there is a saying describing the Icelandic Ministry of Magic, why the son of the director of the Auror office can only be the director, not the director... because the director of the law enforcement department also has a son."

Everyone laughed, only Percy didn't laugh, he nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"People are really important!"

Percy felt that he lacked the political resources to support him.

His father, Arthur, was just the head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, a dead-end department...not going to help him get promoted!

Ron leaned close to Harry's ear and snorted, "Percy is ambitious. He has planned it all. He will be the Minister of Magic in the future."

Harry remembered seeing Percy reading a book called How Prefects Gained Power in Diagon Alley... Percy seemed to be such a person.

Ginny didn't listen to the arguments of several people, but stood up and kept looking into the crowd.

Charlie asked with a smile, "Who are you looking for, Ginny?"

"Look for Rove." Ginny looked up and said, "Didn't everyone say that he would get the Merlin Medal? Why didn't you see him?"

Speaking of Rove, not only Ron, but even Percy showed envious eyes. They all followed Sirius to make up the numbers and see the world.

And Rove really came to receive the existence of the Merlin Medal, and the meaning it represents is completely different!

At this moment, there was a noise from the entrance, and a group of people walked into the gymnasium surrounded by reporters, and the one at the front was... Rove.

Sirius looked at the young man surrounded by stars, whistled and said, "Rove is here."

They stood up and were about to walk over, but stopped because Rove had been surrounded by a group of wizards.

Percy was still envious of Pierce's political resources just now, and would be intimidated by Rove's connections.

I saw a group of officials from various countries greeting him, and even Fudge, the Minister of Magic, squeezed into the crowd abruptly.

As if showing off, Minister Fudge introduced loudly:

"Mr. Newt Scamander, a famous magizoologist. Mrs. Tina Scamander, once the director of the Auror Office of the US Congress, captured Grindelwald.

Rove... Needless to say, as you all know, he is about to become the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin. "

Rove nodded politely to everyone with a humble smile.

Fortunately, with the entry of the Wizengamot, he finally got rid of the endless pleasantries and nonsense.

I saw about fifty wizards walking into the stadium. They were wearing purple-red robes with a delicate silver "W" embroidered on the left front chest.

The chief wizard of the Wizengamot... Dumbledore was at the forefront. He was wearing a gorgeous moon-white robe with many stars and moons embroidered on it, and huge gemstones on his fingers, emitting dazzling light.

With the appearance of the Wizengamot, the stadium fell completely silent, and everyone quickly took their seats.

Dumbledore walked to the front stage, raised his head, and looked at the crowd through the half-moon glasses on the bridge of his hooked nose.

He smiled and said:

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to come here to participate in this significant ceremony of the Order of Merlin."

...

(Thanks to "I'm not the big devil" and "a cup of cappuccino" for their rewards.)
