Chapter 1478: Order of the First Class of the Order of the Sir Merlin
"Come in, come in, Minister!" said Mrs. Weasley, flustered, straightening her hat, "It's our pleasure to have you here, sit down and eat some chicken or patches, I mean......"
Because she was so excited, she said that the turkey and the pudding were out of shape, and said that they were nested chickens and patches.
"No, no, dear Molly. Scrimgeour smiled, his eyes rounding the table and nodding kindly to everyone, "I didn't want to bother, and I wouldn't ......have come if Percy hadn't wanted to see you so much."
"Oh, Percy!" cried out Mrs. Weasley, tearfully tiptoeing to kiss him.
"You don't have to entertain me, Arthur, just be in the ministry as usual. Scrimgeour said to Mr. Weasley, whose expression was slightly stiff, and then shifted his gaze to Evan next to him, as if looking at him, "Ah, Aven, I didn't expect you to be here, it's nice to meet you, I always remember the night of the Quidditch World Cup final two years ago, you made a deep impression on me." ”
"Hello, Mr. Minister!" said Aven.
"No need to be so polite, Aven, we're old friends. ”
This sentence sounds very familiar, and Evan was still Fudge's most valued junior before, and the relationship was very good.
But in the blink of an eye, after Evan said something that was not in Fudge's interests, he immediately became a deranged and abnormal child.
Scrimgeour was born as an Auror and ignored Evan the last time they met, but after becoming Minister of Magic, he quickly became a politician, a qualified politician, or at least close to the previous Cornelius Fudge.
"Yes, Mr. Minister!" said Aven.
"Well, speaking of which, I just have one thing to inform you, and if you meet here, you won't have to make a trip to Hogwarts. "Yes, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic contacted us not long ago, and they want to commend you for your contribution to the rescue of the Sun Ruins. ”
"The Egyptian Ministry of Magic wants to give me a commendation?" Evan asked, not expecting this to be the case.
He had fainted at the end of the Sun Ruins, having been brought back by Sirius. So he didn't know how to deal with the follow-up incidents, but the scene of the battle between him and the ancient demon scorpion was seen by thousands of wizards.
The scene was too noisy, and the level of that battle was far beyond the level of ordinary wizards, reaching the standard of gods.
Evan remembered it later and felt that he had been too high-profile at the time.
doesn't fit his style, he's obviously such a low-key person......
"Yes, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic wants you to have time to make a trip to Egypt, and they will give you the medal. "We got all the things from them and the things you did, and to be honest, I never thought about it...... It's remarkable, and few wizards can do these things. I knew you were going to achieve something extraordinary, and you didn't disappoint me. No, you've done far more than I could have imagined, and you're worthy of being Dumbledore's successor. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Minister!" said Evan modestly, "I am actually much worse than the Headmaster. ”
His explanation didn't help, and the mood at the table changed visibly after Scrimgeour had finished speaking.
Everyone's eyes shifted from Scrimgeour to Aven, everyone here more or less knew that he had been to Egypt last summer and saved many people in an emergency, but they didn't expect the minister to give such a high evaluation.
Everyone knows that Evan is very powerful, he has proven himself, but he may already be familiar with it, or because Evan is too low-key, so he usually doesn't feel anything in contact, and now that the Minister of Magic himself says it, this feeling is obviously different.
Only Hermione touched Evan with her leg under the dining table, and Scrimgeour came to the Burrow to say what did these words mean?!
He wouldn't have come out to praise Aven, no matter how you think about it, it's very perverse.
"It's humble, but that doesn't negate your contribution to peace in the wizarding world. Scrimgeour smiled and said, "By the way, the ministry has been working on it recently, and in view of your contributions, we are considering applying for a first-class medal of the Order of the Order of Merlin." ”
"Oh my God!" everyone suddenly became excited, and the gaze that looked at Evan was obviously different.
The Order of the First Class of the Order of Merlin, the highest honor a wizard can achieve, is very rare.
Every wizard who has been awarded the Order of Merlin is either recognized as a great wizard like Dumbledore, or has made amazing contributions in a certain field or a major event.
Crucially, Evan had previously received a Second Class Order of the Order of Merlin for capturing Peter Pettigrew.
The reason why he received the second-class medal at that time was mainly because it was so big that almost all wizards in the world were paying attention, and Fudge had to make a statement.
For a young wizard who was still a student, it was already an honor beyond imagination.
Now, Scrimgeour is going to award him another medal, or the highest rank of the medal, what is the intention?!
Not to mention, if Evan really gets another first-class medal of the Order of the Merlin, then the entire wizarding world will definitely go crazy and fall into an unprecedented heated discussion.
At that time, Dumbledore's successor, the rising great wizard, and so on, Aven can be considered to be sure.
This is in the interest of Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic, as long as Evan is good enough, a Sir Merlin Order of the First Class can divert public attention and accusations from the Ministry, focus attention on him, and establish a war hero.
In the current situation, both the Ministry of Magic and the general public hope for a hero who can defeat Voldemort.
Dumbledore was old and needed a new successor, a wizard stronger than Voldemort.
It's a good plan, the only problem is that Evan is too young, only fifteen years old this year. He's done a lot of great things, and everyone believes that he will become a powerful wizard of the level of Dumbledore and Voldemort in the future, but it's certainly not now, he still needs time to grow.
No one would really believe that fifteen-year-old Evan could defeat Voldemort right now, that would be unrealistic.
At best, he had the same assessment as Tom Riddle when he was a student at Hogwarts, which is normal.
However, this does not contradict Scrimgeour's plan to exalt Aven, on the contrary, Scrimgeour can also use it to get Aven to defect to the Ministry of Magic.
Give Evan honor beyond imagination to keep him under control.
Presumably, Evan thought, was Scrimthour's plan......
