Chapter 6: Angry Hermione
Although they had been prepared, the award ceremony was really coming soon, and William's family was also very excited.
Roy muttered several times a day why it wasn't July 31 yet.
Lyanna hadn't been to the lab for days, all the work had been given to graduate students, and she had completely left it to her. (The bitter tobacco and alcohol monk, the boss of all evils!) )
Anne spent the day planning what to wear, and this was her first time at such an event.
Hermione didn't do much better than Annie, holding a book and talking about the importance of the Merlin Medal.
She also found all the books on William and read them to everyone, though Lyanna was the only one who listened carefully.
"A History of Hogwarts" has been automatically updated with William Stark's entry, with only two lines at the bottom: Sir Merlin's Order of Merlin, second-class recipient, and the youngest Merlin recipient to date; Hogwarts School Outstanding Contribution Award.
Hermione chased after William all day, asking for details about how he had caught Tywin.
In the midst of this noise, July 31 finally arrived.
After breakfast, Roy glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time, we're leaving." ”
"How?" Aerys wondered.
He hadn't ridden a wizard's transportation yet, so he was curious.
"Wizards usually apparition, or use Floo powder, but the Wizengamot sent a portkey with the letter, which should be more convenient and safe than the first two." Hermione explained. "I haven't used it either, though."
All eyes were on William.
William pulled out a golden coin with an M engraved on it.
"We'll use this to get over."
Everyone gathered around William, looking at the coins curiously.
"What about your friends?" Lyanna asked. "With us?"
"No, they'll all do it in other ways, let's go."
William took out his wand, tapped the gold coins, and a golden light rose up, enveloping everyone, including a cat.
William, who was also using the portkey for the first time, felt as if there was a hook that slammed forward with an irresistible momentum behind his navel, and he lifted his feet off the ground and flew up.
He could feel Hermione beside him, their shoulders bumping together, and the girl let out an exclamation.
Everyone flew forward like a gust of wind, and nothing could be seen clearly, William clenched his wand tightly, estimating the time, and after a moment, the wand suddenly pointed to the ground.
The pale blue light rose, and the slowing spell instantly slowed down everyone's speed, and everyone stood on the ground safely, and no one fell.
"Eight a.m., from Charing Cross, London." Just listen to an emotionless voice.
Roy whistled and shook his head: "Although it is convenient, the experience of this vehicle is not friendly. ”
Several others felt the same way, and if it wasn't for William's last magic, everyone would have fallen to the ground.
Aerys was inexplicably excited, and put his arm around William's shoulder, wanting him to cast a slowing spell again.
"But!" Hermione retorted loudly, "Little wizards can't cast their wands outside, can they?" ”
"I don't think so, young lady." A voice came from afar.
"Professor Dumbledore wouldn't be willing to expel a Merlin Order of Merlin second-class recipient, he's not stupid, though a bit ...... Odd in the head. ”
A pair of red-haired twins walked over, it was George and Fred.
"Long time no see, did you miss us, William?"
"Of course not, I'll just think about Cedric." William smiled and introduced Hermione, "This is George, this is Fred, they are about to become third-year students, and they are all my friends. ”
"This is Hermione Granger...... It's mine...... Pal. ”
"Oh, that's not easy." The twins looked at each other, and Fred smirked, "There are countless girls who want to be good friends with William." ”
"And ......" George said dissatisfiedly: "William, you are very sad for us like this, I am Fred, not George." ”
William laughed, "Come on, George, don't try to lie to me. ”
George frowned and said, "Brother, how do you tell us, even Mom and Dad can't tell it." ”
"It's a secret."
"Okay."
"What about Cedric?" William looked around and didn't see him.
"He, my father, and Mr. Diggory are waiting in the front room, let's go, let's go to the front room to meet." George said.
Everyone walked towards the antechamber.
It's a large living room, and wizards are constantly arriving from all over the world using various means.
Hermione was still trying to convince William, and she looked worried, "Remember the warning letter from the Ministry of Magic?" William, if you use magic again, you'll be expelled from school......"
"What, you received a warning letter during the summer vacation?" Fred looked curious.
"yes, the cauldron blew up, and the potion burned out." William explained.
"Are you hurt, then?" Fred asked.
"No, a spell was used, don't worry, that explosion won't hurt me."
Fred nodded, it was true. When William was in the first grade, he used a time turner to spend two years repeatedly, and his strength was no longer comparable to that of ordinary school students.
"How's your summer invention going?"
George sighed, "Caught by my mom." ”
"Where's the stuff?"
"She lost some of her materials, but most of them were hidden under Ron's bed." Fred laughed.
"It's okay," William said generously, "The winner of the Merlin Second Class Medal will be rewarded with two thousand gold Galleons, and with this batch of start-up funds, we don't have to worry about money for the time being." ”
"So much money doesn't have to be handed over?" George Fox wondered.
"No, you don't." William smiled: "I received the money today, and I will store it in Gringotts after the banquet without even a second of delay."
What do you guys have to buy, we can be a little presumptuous. ”
"Let's save it first, we're going to pay for a new set of robes and textbooks for Ginny next year." George said.
"And what about your brother Ron?" William asked.
He ...... It will still work. Fred said. Didn't you ask Cedric to make him a new wand? ”
"There's also a new Hogwarts map from our 'Akali's Mystery Shop'." George waved his hand, "The love of my brothers can only go so far, Ron needs to understand that he has to earn his own pocket money and buy his own things." ”
“……”
As they walked and talked, William cast several spells along the way, one of which was a cooling spell that lowered the temperature around him.
Hermione followed in a huff, her words being heard by William, and the boy seemed to use his wand as a hand, casting spells whenever and wherever he wanted.
It was a pity that Hermione, who was full of justice, did not become the Minister of Magic, and she said indignantly: "Sooner or later, you will be fired!" ”
