06. The Godfather
Fudge was present to present Sherlock with the Order of Merlin, 3rd class, as well as a large group of Ministry of Magic bureaucrats.
Sherlock even saw Umbridge in the group.
In the face of such a big event, there is naturally Rita Skeeter among the people present.
Now, the manuscript fee she got in these three days is enough to make her a little rich woman in the wizarding world.
However, although the father was happy that his son had received the third-level Merlin badge, he did not have a favorable opinion of most of the officials of the Ministry of Magic, among whom the Minister of Magic, Fudge, was the most important.
When there was no one around the manor, Fumond always taunted the officials of the Ministry of Magic, who were just a bunch of unrighteous and cowardly people, and when Voldemort was strong, the Ministry of Magic leaned towards him, except for the Aurors led by Barty at that time, the more high-ranking the guys the less courageous they were.
The Ministry of Magic did very little to fight Voldemort, and even far less than Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.
"The Merlin Medal is awarded by the Merlin Order, and each Merlin Medal is issued by the Merlin Order with the strictest scrutiny and decision, and they will only be awarded to those who have contributed to the wizarding world."
Fudge pulls Sherlock in front of the camera and makes a long introduction.
The Order of Merlin was founded in the mid-11th century by the famous medieval wizard Merlin, and is the oldest magical organization in the wizarding world. Merlin wanted wizards to help non-wizards, so he founded the Order of Sir Merlin.
Created to help non-wizards, the Order of Merlin forbade wizards from using magic on non-wizards, and agreed that each wizard in the Order was responsible for protecting non-wizards.
In the late 13th century, most wizards were persecuted by non-wizards, and the Merlin Order was suspended, and Merlin himself was deeply affected by it, and at one time wanted to disband the organization, but due to the establishment of the Ministry of Magic and the promulgation of the International Secrecy Act in 1689, the wizards completely turned into secrecy, and the Merlin Order began to operate again.
All wizards who have contributed to the wizarding world have joined the Order of Merlin, and medals have been awarded to wizards who have made outstanding contributions to living in harmony with non-wizards.
After centuries of development, the Merlin Order has become the largest organization of outstanding wizards in the wizarding world, and the only wizarding group in the entire wizarding world that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, and is also recognized by the Ministry of Magic as an international organization of excellent wizards.
The Order of the Order of Merlin is one of the most prestigious medals in the wizarding world, and the highest honor in the wizarding world is the Order of the Order of Merlin.
For example, Newt, the author of the famous book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in the wizarding world, was awarded the Order of Merlin, 2nd degree.
There is no doubt that Sherlock will definitely be the youngest member of the Merlin Order this time.
The camera flickered for a while, and the Daily Prophet newspaper would have a dynamic photo of Sherlock and Fudge tomorrow.
After seeing off the bureaucrats, Fourmond and Sherlock discussed that they wanted to keep the Merlin medal in the family showroom.
After all, the family members received the Order of Merlin, which was a family honor, enough to be recorded in the family history for future generations.
And the most important point is that Fu Meng is worried that Sherlock, who is too young, does not understand the preciousness and honor of the Merlin Medal, and if he loses the medal, the Merlin Sir Regiment will not make a replacement.
So it's better for him to treasure it, and it's a big deal to give it back to Sherlock when he goes to school.
"Look...... Why did I come here and not see that kid, I'm still his godfather. ”
Lucius Malfoy, with his sinister voice and haughty personality, is simply the hallmark of their Malfoy family.
However, when it comes to the group of Fumond and Lucius, the relationship is not bad, and the level of Slytherin's friendship is based on the other party's family background and prestige.
And the kid Lucius spoke of was naturally the son of Funmond, Sherlock Mephisto.
To be honest, Sherlock was shocked when he first learned that Lucius was his godfather.
You must know that in the Harry Potter series, the Malfoys have served as the little brother of the villain BOSS from beginning to end.
Even if some people were whitewashed, such as Snape, the Malfoys were only a third of the whitewashed.
If it weren't for Draco Malfoy's mother, Lucius's wife, Narcissa Malfoy, who tricked Voldemort into protecting Harry Potter in the Last Forbidden Forest, I'm afraid the family would have been locked up in Azkaban for the rest of their lives.
But no matter what, the current Malfoy family is still quite rich in the wizarding world, and can influence some politics, and is one of the twelve school directors of Hogwarts.
"Long time no see, Godfather."
Sherlock stood across from him.
Lucius delighted in his actions"To be honest, when I read the last two days of the Daily Prophet, I knew that my godson would be a great little wizard. ”
"It's a very long time for the two families of Mephisto and Malfoy."
Sherlock smiled bitterly in his heart, but he wouldn't show it.
"What about Draco? Why didn't you bring him here? ”
In the past, when Lucius visited Mephisto Lodge, he would always take with him a boy with platinum blonde hair, who was about the same age as Sherlock's sister Asinsha.
Naturally, Harry Potter's Lucius son 'Draco Malfoy', who continued to fall in love and kill each other from the beginning of his admission to Hogwarts until graduation, is also the heir of the Malfoy family.
When he saw that Lucius had only come alone this time, Fu Monde naturally had some doubts.
"Bella, captured by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, that crazy stupid woman, imprisoned in Azkaban...... Although I don't like her character, she is obviously a pure-blooded member of the Black family, but she is like a madman, but she is my wife's sister after all, so ......"
Lucius said helplessly, "Narcissa was in a bad mood when she knew that Bella had imprisoned the Aurors in Azkaban, so I asked Draco to stay with her for the rest of the day. ”
Narcissa is Bellatrix's own sister, and they also have two more famous relatives, cousin Sirius Black and cousin Nymphadora Tonks of the Tonks family.
Bellatrix Lestrange, the reason why Bellatrix is called Mrs. Lestrange is because she married into the Lestrange family and changed her husband's surname, in short, Bellatrix is a widow, and she is crazy about Voldemort's obsessed widow.
For the pure-blood families in the wizarding world, they are basically more or less related.
In terms of generation, Sirius was Harry's godfather, but he was Draco's cousin.
"Whew! Okay, let's not talk about those useless things, in order to celebrate my godson for making a difference at a young age, and also received the Order of Merlin of the third class, see what gifts I brought back to you from the outside. ”
Lucius bent down and handed Sherlock a fist-sized egg, which was indeed an egg, and the eggshell was soft to step on, and when Sherlock received it in his hand, he could still feel a fresh life in the soft eggshell trembling slightly in his breath.
"I'm going to love it, it's the golden python egg I brought back from the forests of Albania to hatch."
Lucius continued, "This will be your first pet. ”
Sherlock looked at the snake egg in his hand, he didn't expect Godfather Lucius to bring him a snake egg from the Albanian forest that was about to hatch a golden python.
The thought of the golden python's beautiful golden scales made Sherlock a little excited.
Wait...... Forests in Albania? ’
Sherlock's heart was sudden, because he remembered that after Voldemort's soul escaped in the plot, a wisp of soul wandered and hid in the forests of Albania, which was also the later Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Qiluo sadly encountered Voldemort in a weak state when he was traveling in Albania, and was subdued and controlled.
But if Lucius, who was once a Death Eater, would suddenly go to the Albanian forest, and sure enough, the Death Eaters are still secretly looking for Voldemort, waiting for the return of the other king?
