On Christmas Day, in order to better set the mood, Fudge temporarily removed the Dementors, and an Auror team was sent to Hogwarts to take charge of security.

Leading the team is an Auror named Shackle, who is responsible for hunting down Sirius Black. He is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix. It is clear that the Peverells planted spies between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix.

The foyer was crowded with students, all going back and forth, and Professor McGonagall stood at the door of the auditorium, where every student had to wear a tie and shirt without revealing it, all in strict accordance with the dress code for school robes.

"Take the hairpin off, Miss Montgomery—"

"Where's your tie? Michael. Professor McGonagall kept her eyes on every student entering the Great Hall, making sure that no one had disgraced Hogwarts because of their appearance. When Phoenix came out of the common room, there were a lot fewer people.

Phoenix wore a black velvet gown with silver thread embroidered on the neckline and cuffs. His parents were making small talk with Dumbledore at the door.

"Well done, Phoenix, I knew you could. As soon as Balde saw Phoenix coming, he hugged him. Sif's eyes were red, and she kept warning him not to be a hero in the future, and she didn't care much about getting the Order of Merlin of the first class.

"Let's go in first. Phoenix said goodbye to his parents, and he wouldn't be in the auditorium until the time of the honor. The doors of the auditorium slowly closed. With a heavy sound, it closed completely.

After the Great Hall had fallen silent and everyone had taken their seats in the Great Hall, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, walked up to the stage and said in a loud voice, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and especially distinguished guests, welcome to Hogwarts for this momentous and representative of the best of the young generation of wizarding - his contribution to the wizarding world is evident - his courage and wisdom-" Fudge read a long manuscript, mostly a retelling of Phoenix's personal praise and deeds.

Finally, "All stand and invite Albus Dumbledore, winner of the Order of Merlin of the First Class, President of the International Confederation of Wizards, and Chief Magician of the Wizengamot in England, to honour our hero, Distinguished Young Phoenix, Peverell." ”

Dumbledore walked to the stage.

"Everything is ready, Phoenix Peverell is invited to the position of honor. A serious, loud voice rang out.

The door to the auditorium opened, and a thousand pairs of eyes converged on him. Phoenix stood still, his eyes fixed on the Hogwarts crest on the other side of the Great Hall. In the middle of the shape of a large golden shield, it is composed of the animals symbolizing the four houses, the golden lion on a red background, the copper eagle on a blue background, the black badger on a yellow background, and the silver snake on a green background, surrounding the initial "H" of "Hogwarts". Surrounding the shield is a decorative part with the motto: Dracodormiensnunquamtitillandus, which means "Never tease a sleeping dragon"

It's a tradition in the ceremony, meaning that the Phoenix Medal is recognized by all. If anyone is dissatisfied or opposed to Phoenix receiving the Order of Merlin of the First Class, they can stand up and shout at this time. No matter what the person shouts, the ceremony will be suspended. In 1560, a ceremony was disrupted, and it took months of discussion, meetings, and investigations until it was determined that the person was a mere troublemaker.

According to the ritual, Phoenix needs to be silent for about 1 minute to give everyone a chance to object. He couldn't move, he could only stand still. The truth is that the Hogwarts students present were unaware of this tradition, not even their parents. Because recently, the Merlin Order of the First Class was awarded to Dumbledore, after defeating the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945. The Order of Merlin, 2nd and 3rd Merlin, does not have such a process, and is simply awarded by the Ministry of Magic.

For example, this year's inventor of the wolf poison potion, Damocles Belby, was awarded the title of Second Class Magician of the Order of Merlin. Newt Scamman, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, was awarded the title of Second Class Sorcerer of the Order of Merlin in 1979 for his contributions to magical animals.

It was undoubtedly an elaborate ordination ceremony, and there could never have been more than five people present who were familiar with the tradition, ensuring that he would become the youngest first-class magician of the Order of Merlin ever made.

The entire auditorium fell silent for a short time, and Phoenix even saw many students with puzzled expressions, but limited by time and place, they could only stand silently with everyone. The ghosts also lined up in the air, looking down at him.

Time passed second by second, and for him it was indeed a long minute, and for other people who did not know the tradition, it seemed that Phoenix was a little stunned because of nervousness.

The music suddenly remembered, Phoenix finally took a step towards the awarding platform, the ghosts of Hogwarts were above the crowd, lined up in two columns to look down on him, and the mountain fairy flew down to the ghost, forming two fluctuating thin lines, part of which surrounded Phoenix, so that his speed would not be too fast or too slow, causing the music to end without reaching the awarding platform or arriving at the awarding platform in advance, after the mountain fairy lined up in formation, she sang loudly:

At the end of the music, Phoenix just walked up.

Everyone held their breath as the most crucial moment of the ceremony arrived, when he was honoured by a respected member of the Order of Merlin.

"On behalf of the Order of Merlin and the wizarding community," Dumbledore said, holding the fine silk ribbon with the Order of Merlin of the First Class, "bestowing the Order of Merlin on Sir Phoenix Bald Cadmus Peverell Merlin Order of the First Class and the title of Sir Merlin Order of Merlin First Class." ”

He put the ribbon on Phoenix, straddled it diagonally from his left shoulder to his right leg, and then stepped back. The atmosphere of the audience reached the highest point for a while, and the crowd applauded thunderously and cheered endlessly. The night sky was lit with stars from the magic ceiling, countless brilliant fireworks were raised, and Phoenix waved to the crowd.

The music of "Hero - Burle-Rophon" then sounds, and the wizard is the only one who kills the passer-by Myramon.

The cheering continued for about a few minutes, until people felt their hands tingling. Phoenix stood on the stage and delivered a customary speech encouraging the elimination of discrimination against mixed-blood, Muggle-born wizards and the promotion of unity among wizards.

During the meal, the "famous" wizards in the VIP seats kept coming over to congratulate Phoenix. During this time, Fudge also hinted that the Wizengamot was meeting to discuss whether to be elected to the Wizengamot Junior Wizards' representative, a position usually awarded to outstanding wizards between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Phoenix will only be thirteen years old this year, and he will only be fourteen next year. One of the most troublesome things he would face if he was elected was that as the representative of the Wizengamot Young Wizards, he would have the right to serve as an interrogator in all court courts, except in criminal cases. But it is undoubtedly extremely inappropriate to have an underage wizard as an interrogator.

Dumbledore had also received this distinction that year, and he had only been qualified as an interrogator for the first time at the age of twenty-five.

The Wizengamot Charter of Rights does not explicitly stipulate that the minimum age for the position of a young wizard representative is only a maximum of twenty-five years. Fudge didn't have the slightest concern, and happily complimented him in front of Balder, saying that if there was a suitable case, he would fight for him.

Phoenix stared and smiled at everyone who stepped forward to congratulate him. The two principals of the top European schools couldn't wait to bring their protégés, unexpectedly from Durmstrang, who was none other than Victor Klum, who shone at the World Cup.

Badr showed little interest in them and hastily ended the conversation with the two principals. The reporters who jumped up and down on the side were quite surprised. Maybe they were counting on some spark between Phoenix and Krum. The constant stream of wizards focused more on his father.

"Prestige is always built little by little. Balde took advantage of a gap and quickly whispered something in Phoenix's ear, shaking his shoulder.

"Of course, I understand, father. The new Russian Minister of Magic walked over with a haughty face, and they ended their conversation.

The house-elves in the kitchen seemed to pull out all the stops. A variety of dishes were laid out in front of them, half of which were definitely foreign. The entire auditorium was cast with a Traceless Stretching Charm, and so many people joined in without a hint of crowding, and many senior students, hurrying to take a few bites of food, rushed to the vicinity of these big names - they were allowed to enter the core dining area.

On the surface, the whole Christmas was spent in a cheerful and cheerful atmosphere.

The next day, the newspaper "The Man Who Saved a School from a Hundred Dementors - Phoenix Peverell" was accompanied by a photo of Phoenix waving in greeting. For a time, this name became a household name throughout Europe.
