As the crowd cheered for Bruce to be awarded the Merlin Medal, another owl delivered a letter, this time from Mr. Weasley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info content is to tell everyone that Bruce has received the Merlin Medal.

It turned out that Mr. Weasley had told the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, about Bruce giving him a charm when he arrived at the Ministry of Magic. The news of finding a safe and extremely effective way to defend against the Killing Curse was a shock to the Ministry of Magic.

For this reason, Cornelius Fudge even experimented with the effect of the spell himself, and the result was naturally very good, and not only the killing curse, but also this small piece of yellow paper could block other spells.

Although Bruce was a standard bad student in Cornelius Fudge's mind, Cornelius Fudge had to be commended for his ability to give the charm. You must know that there are too many wizarding Aurors who have died under the killing curse. In addition, some time ago, Mr. Ollivander, the master wand maker, handed in a wand reform plan, and the practitioner of the reform was also Bruce Sterling.

Either of these contributions is extremely important to the wizarding world. Because Cornelius Fudge immediately sent a letter to the Order of Merlin to explain the matter, in the face of these two achievements, they decided to award Bruce the Order of Merlin, 2nd degree, even though he was only a fourteen-year-old student.

Regardless, such a reward is absolutely reasonable for Bruce. After the cheers, the crowd happily set off for Diagon Alley after a delicious breakfast, and while what happened at the Quidditch World Cup had a big impact, the Bruce win had more or less diluted the bad memories.

After arriving in Diagon Alley, Bruce didn't go shopping directly with everyone.

"All right, kids! I'm going to Gringotts first, does Harry Hermione need to come with me? Mrs. Weasley said.

Harry said, "I was just about to withdraw some money. ”

"I'm going to get some Galleons too." Hermione said.

Mrs. Weasley said, "Well, the others are waiting for us at the Blotted Bookstore." ”

"Bruce, don't you want to withdraw money?" Hermione asked.

Bruce said, "I'm going back to the wand shop, it's the beginning of the school year, there should be a lot of people in the store, I'm going back to help." ”

Hermione nodded and said, "Then we'll buy the things for you." ”

Bruce said, "Okay, then wait for me at Tom's after you finish shopping, and I'll treat you to lunch at noon!" ”

Bruce handed Hermione the money and went to the wand shop.

Because there were a lot of people patronizing the wand shop at the beginning of the school year, when Bruce walked into the wand shop, Ollivander was picking out wands for the two new students in the store. Although Bruce is already half as good as he is when it comes to wand making, he is still a little short of when it comes to wand selection. Ollivanders, who attaches great importance to wands, naturally would not be so sloppy and leave all the work in the store to Bruce.

In this way, the two of them were busy until lunchtime, and there was no free time.

"Teacher, I'm a little hungry. Want to get some food to Mr. Tom's, do you need me to bring you some? Bruce asked.

Ollivander said lightly: "No, I'm not hungry yet!" By the way, I have something to tell you. I've written to the Ministry of Magic about the new wand. They should have written back to you this morning. ”

Speaking of this, Bruce said smugly: "Got it, you would never think of any benefit they gave me." ”

Ollivander looked indifferent and said, "It should also be the Merlin Medal!" ”

"Ahh Bruce was surprised, "You know? What else would I like to surprise you? ”

A smile escaped from Ollivander's face and he said; "I can guess it's normal, because the people of the Ollivanders family are all recipients of the Order of Merlin!"

"Huh! Hehe! Bruce smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you say that?" That way I can be proud for a while. ”

As the most prestigious wand-making family in the wizarding world, Ollivander has said that every generation of their family has reformed wands, so it is normal to receive the Merlin Medal. And when it comes to the number of Merlin Medals, the entire wizarding world does not necessarily add up to the number of the Ollivander family.

"Teacher, have you also received the award notice?" Bruce asked.

Ollivander said, "No, I didn't! ”

"What? How is this possible? Bruce said in surprise.

Ollivander said unconcernedly, "Because the reform of the new wand is only your name." ”

"What?" Bruce was stunned, and then said very dissatisfied: "How can you do this, teacher! The Lord of the Rings is your idea and the result, how did it become mine? ”

Although Bruce perfected the Ring to make it a real wand. But the idea of the Lord of the Rings was the result of Ollivander until he was born, and it was natural that he would not agree to put all the credit on himself.

Ollivander smiled lightly and said, "Because you're my student, Bruce!" I've reached the top of wand making and there is no room for improvement, and although I made the Ring, the reform of the wand is your idea, and I just made the Ring according to your idea. ”

"Even so, it's the result of the two of us!" Bruce said excitedly.

"No, no!" Ollivander laughed: "It's the result of you alone!" You're my student, Bruce. Everything about wands is my inheritance. So you deserve it, and it's this legacy that makes the Ollivanders family a place in history. What's more, I already have a Merlin Medal, and it's useless to have too much of that. ”

Ollivanders' words instantly brought tears to Bruce's eyes, and after coming to this world, Bruce has experienced a lot, including the helplessness and anticipation at the beginning, the excitement and joy of meeting Harry's friends, and the surprise and panic in the face of danger. In Bruce's words, he's done more so far than in his "before" life combined. But the only thing that feels helpless and uncomfortable is that he is an orphan.

As he told Harry, friendship is no substitute for affection. But luckily Bruce has a good teacher. Although Ollivander is not a joke and everyone thinks he is a weirdo, Bruce knows that Ollivander is a very respectable man.

Not only because he's the greatest wandmaker in the wizarding world, but because he's who he is. He's the kind of person who doesn't speak well but cares about you all the time, and it's only in him that Bruce can feel the expectations and care of his parents.

Bruce bent deeply towards Ollivander and said nothing, the expectation of an elder that no words can describe or replace.

"You go and clean up, school will start in a few days, there must be a lot of things to buy, and you don't have to come in the afternoon." Ollivander said.

After leaving the wand shop, Bruce went to the Leaky Cauldron, where everyone had already bought the supplies they needed, so Bruce treated everyone to a hearty Chinese meal. When Mr. Tom learns that Bruce has been awarded the Merlin Medal, he is so excited that he immediately promises to invite him to the meal.

The meal was also very rich, and the Ron family, plus Bruce, Hermione, and Harry, ate more than ten dishes in total.

"Bruce, why don't we pay!" Mrs. Weasley said, "We eat so much that Mr. Tom will lose money." ”

Bruce laughed, "Don't worry! Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Tom is not going to be in a loss-making business. You see, the money begins. ”

As they looked over the counter, Mr. Tom was writing a phrase in the air with his wand: Bruce Sterling, the youngest Merlin Medal winner in history, develops cuisine! ”

The colorful words were suspended in the air, as if it was difficult to think of neon signs, and it was not long before I heard the words "Tom, let's have a Stirling Chinese food" one after another.

"Huh!" Hermione laughed, "I didn't expect Mr. Tom to take advantage of celebrity." ”

George immediately said, "I will learn a lot from Mr. Tom more in the future." ”

But then something didn't sound right.

"Tom, let's have a Stringei topping!"

"Boss, I want Sterling's liver!"

"Dobby, freeze Sterling's skin!"

Good guys, the sound of ordering almost all parts of Bruce has been taken care of.

Bruce smiled wryly: "It seems that the celebrity effect is not suitable for all industries, especially when it comes to meals, and I feel like I'm going to be torn apart when I listen to these orders." ”

"Haha!"

Two days later, when the day of school began, the students were once again on the nine-and-three-quarter platform for Hogwarts. Ron, who has rarely read newspapers since he entered school, actually bought a copy of the "Daily Prophet" on the platform, not to read it, but to show it.

Today, the news of Bruce's Merlin Medal was published, and the title of "the youngest Merlin Medal winner in history" caused a shock among classmates, and the feat at the Quidditch World Cup at home will undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's discussion, and Ron, who has always been a good "Hon", will naturally not give up this opportunity to show off.

However, thanks to Ron's showmanship, Bruce will not be "surrounded and suppressed" by everyone. As soon as he heard that he had won the Merlin Medal and the Quidditch World Cup, all his friends at Hogwarts went to the box to inquire, and this is when Ron's merits were revealed. At this time, the sky was falling in the box next door, and many onlookers made surprised noises from time to time.

Bruce looked at the newspaper and listened to Ron's excited explanation next door, and teased: "I think Ron can be a host or a book in the future, and there is no one with this eloquence and imagination." ”

Hermione laughed, "yes! You've defeated the twenty-first Death Eater in his mouth! ”

Bruce laughed, "I really admire him, he says it like the truth." ”

"Actually, it's just an exaggeration, at least it will save you a lot of trouble, won't it?" Harry laughed.

At this time, Ron's explanation had also ended, and he returned to the box satisfied.

"Hi Hi! It's a shame you didn't come to listen, everyone's expressions are really interesting! Ron said smugly.

Bruce said helplessly: "Big brother, please don't be so exaggerated next time, okay?" I'm about to become a superman. ”

"Art comes from life, higher than life! It's normal to exaggerate. Ron said with a grin, then saw that Bruce was still reading the newspaper and quipped, "I think you like my exaggeration too." I still look at my heroic deeds! ”

Bruce lit up the front page of the newspaper and said, "I'm not so narcissistic, I'm looking at this!" (To be continued.) )
