The first-class Merlin Badge Medal is a wizard awarded by the Merlin Sir Regiment to the wizarding world for outstanding achievements and contributions, but the first-class Merlin Badge also has a characteristic, most of which are awarded to wizards who have died or have been dead for a long time.
There are only two exceptions to the first-class Merlin badge awarded to the living, the first is Dumbledore, after all, the other party does have very outstanding achievements and contributions and fame, and it is understandable to award it to the other party.
The second was Sirius's grandfather, who bribed the Ministry of Magic with a large sum of money to receive this honor.
The Order of Merlin is the only legal organization of the Ministry of Magic that recognizes its international status, but that does not mean that the Order of Merlin is not subject to the Ministry of Magic.
Sherlock, the creator of the Soul Charm of the Storm, probably didn't take it into account, as he invented a third incredible spell, which led to the Ministry of Magic debating whether or not to award him a first-class Merlin badge.
After all, at this point, the officials of the Ministry of Magic really can't think of anything to reward each other, a wizard has achieved something, does the Ministry of Magic need a reward?
The answer is that it can be rewarded or inactive, but the Ministry of Magic is just that inaction tends to be despised by wizards.
Fudge was absolutely opposed to the award of the Merlin badge to Sherlock, and wrote a letter to the members of the Order of Merlin, stating that according to Sherlock's current talent, if he had any higher and more outstanding achievements in the future, he would face a situation where there would be no awards......
And he remembered that some time ago, Fudge had jointly issued a recommendation to the Merlin Order with Dumbledore and the Dean of St. Mungo's to recommend Sherlock to the Merlin Order......
Then this time, let the Merlin Sir Orchestra directly agree to Sherlock's joining, and he can come to the door to invite him personally......
In the face of Fudge's suggestion that this is not a solution, the members of the Merlin Sir Order also acquiesced, in fact, most of them also agreed with Fudge's opinion, now Sherlock's talent has surprised the wizards, and in the future, Bao Qi will make greater achievements, so how to treat each other at that time?
Fudge once again came to Mephisto Lodge in person, which also made him feel depressed, as the Minister of Magic, he was revered when he arrived at any pure-blood family, but when he arrived at Mephisto Lodge, he had to wait outside, unless the owner inside allowed him to enter.
This is nothing more than that the Mephisto family is adopting a closed family lifestyle, not participating in any side of the magical world's muddy waters and forces, and even rumors and jokes that the Mephisto family has declined and declined have been circulating in the outside world.
Some wizards even look down on a family of magicians who relied on the reputation of their ancestors to pass on ancient magic to the point where they are now.
But when Sherlock rose strongly, the wizards shut their mouths one by one, and even turned into rumors that 'the old family is worthy of being an old family, and the children of the heirs are extremely talented'.
"Minister Fudge!" Fumond calmly received Fudge and the Aurors of his retinue, as well as the Ministry of Magic officials.
And this time Fudge also behaved directly, saying straight to the point, "That's right, on behalf of the Merlin Sir Order, I officially invite your eldest son, Sherlock Mephisto, to join the Merlin Sir Order." ”
He continued, "Of course, you may have seen the news before, that I, Dumbledore and the Headmaster of St. Mungo's have jointly recommended Sherlock. ”
Fumond opened his mouth, and he was a little surprised that it was Fudge himself who had come to the door to invite Sherlock to join the Order of Sir Merlin, and he understood some of the reasons for this.
"I've heard of ...... Sherlock invented the Punch Charm and was praised by many botanical and potions experts in the wizarding world, and even St. Mungo's director, Mr. Oster Bohan, said that the Punch Charm would greatly reduce the shortage of medicines and other problems faced by hospitals, and some said...... Sherlock was supposed to get the Merlin badge of the first rank this time. ”
Fu Mond's burning gaze stared at Fudge, making Fudge's fat cheeks tremble slightly, and at the same time, Fudge's gaze also made Fudge a little uncomfortable.
"Don't guess Fu Mond, I'm going to meet Sherlock in person, after all, it's your son I'm here to invite, not you, and you can't be the master in this matter."
Fourmond shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter, and he asked the house-elf Shogg to call Sherlock down.
But Shyog said that Sherlock had put a sign on the door of the room that no one was allowed to disturb, as if he was studying something inside.
Fudge said it didn't matter, he could go to Sherlock's room.
Outside, Funmond knocked on his son's door.
Sherlock was dressed in a mess as if he had just woken up, and his platinum blonde hair was unkempt like a chicken coop.
"Hello father, hello Mr. Minister."
Sherlock was a little surprised to see Fudge also pushing open the door.
"Look at your appearance, where do you still look like a nobleman." Fu Meng was a little angry, after all, there were still outsiders.
"Haha...... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Fumond you are really harsh, then Sherlock you don't seem to have had a good rest lately, but I have good news that will make you happy until you fall asleep. ”
Fudge leaned in and said enthusiastically, "You have been officially agreed to join the Merlin Band, and I am here to invite you this time, as long as you agree to join, you will become the youngest member of the Merlin Sir Regiment in history." ”
The Ministry of Magic officials and a few Aurors who came around were clapping their hands vigorously, each with a smile on their faces.
Sherlock, on the other hand, nodded calmly and said, "Oh...... It turned out to be this matter, and I agreed...... I'm going to join the Merlin Band, of course, but in fact I still have something to think about and deal with logic! ”
Sherlock's calm, coaxing behavior made everyone a little awkward, and Fudge couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what you're studying?" ”
"I'm working on the logic and rules for the next spell, which is interesting, and I actually have an idea of it, and it should be done soon."
Fudge almost vomited blood when he heard Sherlock say this, knowing that a wise wizard could invent a spell in his lifetime.
How could it be that he met a little monster?
This made Fudge also glad that he didn't award him the first-class Merlin badge this time!
