Chapter 463: Chocolate Frog Card
When Fudge presented Hermione with the last white ribbon of the Third Order, there was thunderous applause from the podium.
"The Sorting Hat must be mistaken, Hermione should be in Ravenclaw in every way. Ron looked at Hermione on the stage without blinking, and his tone was sour, "I love to read, I have excellent grades, and I have a common language with those weirdos in Ravenclaw, but I am not so enthusiastic about my classmates in the house." ”
"Not only that, but she can even command Malfoy!" Ron twisted his arms into a twisted shape and placed them on his chest, then lashed out at Malfoy, "It's a shame that she can smile so brightly at Malfoy's ugly mouse face." ”
The Gryffindors around him didn't go along with Ron, but the fact that they didn't refute that was in itself an attitude. Gryffindor had the fewest attendance of the four houses, let alone winning the House Cup, and after this extra point, they were even overtaken by Hufflepuff and left behind to become the bottom house.
"Next, Alan Harris ......," Dumbledore said. The auditorium suddenly became eerily silent. “...... He showed great courage, courage and prowess, and for this, the Merlin Sir Orchestra decided to award Alan Harris the Order of Merry, First Class. In addition, I would like to award Gryffindor House sixty points. ”
If anyone were standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might have thought there had been an explosion here, and the cheers at the Ravenclaw table were rising higher and higher. Edward and Michael stood up and cheered, and almost all the young wizards stood up and clapped their hands desperately to pay tribute to the best Hogwarts student in history.
Alan gracefully walked onto the stage and received the medal with the green ribbon from Fudge, who had always had a kind smile on his face.
The green ribbon on the Order of the First Class represents the Hogwarts House where Merlin himself belongs, but at the moment it is worn by the wizards of Ravenclaw.
But the interesting thing is that the Slytherin house itself actually has no grievances, they respect the strong, and in the case of the Harris family's power and Allen's own superior strength, they show an attitude of moving closer to Allen.
Not only that, but after the young wizards enjoyed a delicious celebratory feast, they also took out the latest version of the chocolate frog one after another, not to taste the chocolate, but to open the picture inside.
"The chocolate frogs all have pictures attached to them, you know, they can be collected, they are all famous wizards, I have saved more than 500 of them, I have already saved them all, and now I am missing Alan Harris. Ron watched beside him, as Colin Creevey's younger brother --- first-year student Dennis Creevey fiddled with the freshly removed picture of Allen in his hand.
"That's good for you, my dad won the lottery last year and no longer opened a store by himself as a milkman, and gave me a lot of pocket money when school started. Dennis Creevey pushed the card in Ron's direction, reaching for the pile of unopened chocolate frogs on the table.
Ron stared directly at the chocolate frog on the table, Alan was wearing an H94 uniform, smiling gently at Ron, and under the light above his head, Alan's light blonde hair and light blue eyes seemed to be shining in the picture.
With a "snap", Ron flipped the picture over, and the side with Allen's head was slapped on the table. The words that followed pierced his heart again:
Alan Harris, now at Hogwarts,
Recipient of the Order of Merlin, 1st degree,
Recognized as the best Seeker of our time,
Champion of The Witcher Tournament.
Allen's well-known contributions include:
saved the lives of many Muggles and Aurors,
Contributed a spell that summons Cerberus.
Ron quickly deflected his head and pushed the card into the table.
??? After thinking about it, Ron grabbed the card again, and then stuffed it back into his pocket.
After the banquet, Hermione, who had received the medal, hurriedly found Alan.
"Alan, Dobby just sneaked over and told me that my Thunderbird egg will probably hatch this weekend. Would you like to take a look?" Hermione's face flushed with joy, her brown hair trembling behind her as she ran.
"Alan, I'll go too. Malfoy's voice rang out behind them.
Hermione looked at Malfoy in surprise, and although their relationship had eased recently, she couldn't imagine that Malfoy would actually want to go to the home of the mudbloods in his eyes. I probably haven't seen a thunderbird hatch, so I'm curious?
In fact, Malfoy was told by Lucius Malfoy to have a good relationship with the people around Allen. Coupled with the fact that Hermione had been awarded the Order of Merlin this time, Malfoy, although he hated Muggles, offered to go with him.
Eventually, over the weekend, Hermione, Ellen, Luna, and Malfoy took advantage of their last trip to Hogsmeade this semester and sneaked out of Hogwarts to Hermione's house.
Hermione also invited Harry, but Harry politely declined Hermione's invitation due to Ron's relationship and Malfoy's presence.
At Hermione's home, the young wizards were treated with hospitality by the Grangers. Even a picky Malfoy had to admit that Hermione's parents had provided him with refreshments, even if none of them were sweet, but the combination of Muggle and wizarding cooking techniques made him eat his share of it as he had planned to just take a few polite bites.
After Hermione finalizes the guest list, she gives Dobby the task of hosting, and also writes to her parents, hoping that they will fully cooperate with Dobby.
Except for the sweets, the Granger insisted on their sugar-free view, and Dobby left the rest to his ability.
As a former house-elf from a pure-blood family, Dobby is too good at how to prepare a feast, not to mention, he knows the tastes of everyone in the Malfoy family very well, and it is really easy for him to satisfy the discerning Malfoy.
But the Malfoy family's pride as a wizard and their contempt for Muggles had long been deeply ingrained in his blood, and although he felt that it tasted good, he was still quite dissatisfied with the fact that the Granger family had allowed the house-elves to appear in front of the guests without any scruples, not to mention that this house-elf had been their own family before!
He was polite, but he never took the initiative to talk to the Grangers. In addition to maintaining his pure-blooded demeanor, Malfoy tried his best not to watch the so-called television set in Muggles, although he was particularly eager to walk over and take a closer look at what Hermione called a soap opera, unlike wizarding posters, they could make sounds and seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted in for long periods of time without repeating themselves, which made Malfoy very curious.
And Allen, watching TV that he hadn't watched for a long time, also fell into deep thought. In a few years, with the popularization of the Internet and the advent of the digital information age, it will become more and more difficult or even impossible for wizards to hide themselves so easily and keep the wizarding world from Muggles.
Since he knew that his family was the so-called remnant of Grindelwald, he also studied Grindelwald's ideas back then, and he was actually very prescient, but some of his ideas were not suitable at that time, and there were too many situations ahead of the time, and the methods were too cruel to be regarded as crazy by conservatives, but in the future, it may not be suitable, as long as the too radical means are moderated......
Alan is also considering whether to work hard to break the "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Law" like Grindelwald, but this is still a long way off, at least until he has no worries about defeating Voldemort. And the decision is too much to involve, and Alan doesn't plan to tell anyone about it yet, and he doesn't have the strength and the prestige to challenge this centuries-old shackle that has been around all wizards for hundreds of years.
