Chapter 347: Li Fei Awards, Ancient One Awards!?
In the center of the room, a fat figure was waving out of the crowd, his steps were light, his expression was friendly, his eyes were determined, and his eyes revealed hope for himself and the future of the British Ministry of Magic.
Quite a few people whistled rather frivolously, which was a dissatisfaction with the politician's hand stretched too long.
The Merlin Order Ceremony has been held for decades, and although it is usually held every three or five years, there are still many so-called politicians who can't wait to get their hands on the Merlin Medal.
They don't have the same goals and ideas, some to cover up scandals to boost their approval ratings, some to seek re-election after being in office for too long, and some to the end of their term of office eager to find ways to add credit to their resume......
All in all, because of their intervention, the Merlin Medal awarding ceremony, which attaches the most importance to the academic atmosphere, was tainted with a dirty atmosphere, and Fudge was mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
However, although Fudge was already prepared, Dolores Umbridge, who was full of joy and ready to please the leader, obviously did not think so.
At this moment, Umbridge is like an old hen guarding her cubs, and like a pink toad, turning on the "map cannon" to the people at the award ceremony.
For a time, Umbridge golden sentences were frequent, such as:
"I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here is very uneducated!"
"Why is Minister Fudge such a great man here to accept the cynicism of some ill-intentioned people?"
Remember http://m.et for a second
"No one knows how to govern the Ministry of Magic better than Minister Fudge!" Such words filled the entire venue, causing the brows of most of the people present to furrow tightly.
Although Fudge listened very well in his heart, except for Harry Potter and others, most of the guests present were either rich or noble, would they tolerate the existence of you Umbridge as a "toad lying on his feet - not biting but also diaphragm" so rampant?
Of course, I couldn't bear it, so in the corner where everyone didn't notice, a shoe that had just been taken off whistled at Umbridge's ugly face!
The appearance of the shoes was reasonable, and unexpected, seeing that the shoes flew so fast, Umbridge didn't even have a chance to dodge, and was stunned in place for a moment, without that contrived expression, it made people feel that she was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"Smack!"
Impartially, the shoe smashed right into Minister Fudge's face, leaving a long shoehorn-like mark.
As I said earlier, Dolores Umbridge was very short and fat, so the irascible old man who threw the shoe must have been overwhelmed all at once, and our poor Minister Fudge suffered the sole of his shoe for nothing.
After a long time, Umbridge, who was holding his head and squatting on guard, found that the expected pain did not appear, and raised his head suspiciously, only to find that the minister who was extremely in awe in his heart was holding an extremely ordinary-looking shoe in his hand?
"Mr. Minister...... Seeing the great Minister Fudge "save" herself, Umbridge's eyes turned red and she called Fudge's name in a trembling voice in her extremely sticky voice.
"That's enough, it's time for me to make a speech to accept the award."
Resisting not kicking his female subordinates away, Fudge took out his wand and fired a shot at him, and then began his acceptance speech.
[Minister Fudge profoundly commented on the international situation in the wizarding world, and fully expressed his goodwill to the Ministry of Magic throughout Europe, proposing that all countries should have in-depth exchanges and strengthen cooperation, so as to contribute to the construction of a better future with "peace" and "development" as the main theme. 】
Fudge didn't say much because of the "shoe turmoil", and Fudge, who still knew how to accept it when he saw it, wanted to end the award as soon as possible and then go to the media he agreed to be interviewed, but he didn't want to cause trouble when the award was presented.
The scheduled award presenters were dissatisfied with Umbridge's foul mouth, so it was very rare for them to refuse to present the award to Fudge.
This is an extremely humiliating event, even if it has not appeared more than five times in the entire history of the Order of Merlin, and most importantly, according to the rules, there must be an awarder, and theoretically there can be no duplication of the awarding of other laureates.
Because after the ceremony, there will be group photos, media interviews and other links, if a certain bigwig presents awards to two awardees at the same time, then what to distribute at that time is a mess.
In desperation, Fudge began to search for Dumbledore's shadow in the dimly lit crowd of people in the audience.
He believed that Dumbledore would not leave him here, regardless of whether the two had a conflict in private, at least in the eyes of the current British, Fudge was still the "puppet minister" that Dumbledore supported to come to power.
Dumbledore frowned.
As early as when the Merlin Order was nominated, Dumbledore had asked Li Fei if he needed him to be Li Fei's presenter, to which Li Fei euphemistically said that Professor Snape might need Dumbledore's approval more than himself.
After so many years of teaching, Hogwarts has already become Professor Snape's second home.
As for Li Fei himself, I believe that there will be many bigwigs who are willing to take the initiative to carry out the award ceremony for Li Fei, after all, Li Fei is only 12 years old, and the future is promising.
Professor Snape tightened his hands hidden in his sleeves, but there was no trace of fluctuation on the surface, Professor McGonagall felt his small movements, and did not say anything, but took a half step forward with a serious face, and whispered to Dumbledore:
"If you have to go, then let me go, you need to consider Severus's mood."
Dumbledore shook his head slightly, and replied to Professor McGonagall in the same untraceable voice:
"On the one hand, it is a shame for some people to award a person like Fudge who has had a farce, and on the other hand, maybe in Fudge's heart, your act of relieving him has actually lowered the position of his own level in his heart."
"In other words, in Fudge's eyes, I don't deserve to give him an award?" Professor McGonagall almost laughed, looking around the world, her Minerva McGonagall's Transfiguration was much better known than an ordinary Minister of Magic.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid yes, in the current situation, unless Nicol Lemay or Newt are willing to present Fudge with an award, anyone slightly below me who tries to save Fudge will be hated by him."
Professor Snape snorted slightly, and now he could only be wronged and let Dumbledore go to present Fudge with the award, he was used to sacrifice anyway.
Dumbledore frowned, and the atmosphere in the center of the stage became more and more awkward.
"Can't wait any longer, Severus, I'm sorry for that." Dumbledore straightened up, ready to walk forward.
Li Fei gritted his teeth and gave a deep salute to Newt beside Dumbledore: "Mr. Scamander, I beg you can help Fudge This time, Professor Snape has had a hard time all these years, and he really needs Professor Dumbledore's approval." ”
Newt twisted his head away slightly, and said in a slurred tone, "I can honour Severus, but I...... Really resistant to the Ministry of Magic, all the people who are against the Ministry of Magic, really, please forgive me for not being able to face it. ”
Li Fei keenly noticed that after Old Man Newt said this, the corners of his eyes were already full of tears.
"Enough Li Fei, there's no need to beg them like this, anyway, I don't believe that I, a Merlin first-class medal winner, will be so embarrassed as Fudge that no one wants to award him with an award."
Professor Snape flicked his cloak with a grim expression, but Li Fei suddenly reached out and grabbed the trembling hand in his sleeve.
"No matter how much you have done in the past, at least you have done your best and done your best with your students during your years at school.
Even if you are a stupid student who has been poisoned by you, you still ensure that they have the knowledge they should have, and even deliberately instruct them a few more times, which is not a price to pay for acquiring knowledge.
I selfishly believe that you deserve to be honored by Professor Dumbledore, and that you deserve it. ”
"As for Fudge, he doesn't deserve it."
After that, without waiting for Dumbledore to say something, Li Fei's left hand hidden in his sleeve clenched his fist violently, and then Zi, Hai, Yin, and Mao!
Everyone in the venue instantly exclaimed!
Fudge also looked at this scene with a bewildered expression: I saw that Minister Fudge's shadow was originally honestly touching the fish on the ground, but I didn't expect a carp to stand up!
The black color continued to fade from the shadows, and Fudge's appearance gradually emerged, and finally turned into an existence that was only slightly dimmer than the original Fudge, and if it wasn't for the actual sight, everyone would think that Minister Fudge had a twin brother.
Fudge was also stunned, and was about to find a way to explain, but saw the shadow speak:
"I, Connelly Fudge, have never been weaker than anyone in my life!
Although I have a kind personality, it doesn't mean that I don't have a temper, how can a small Merlin Medal of the Third Class be the end of my life path, my goal is to get the First Class Medal!
Here, I borrow an ancient Chinese saying: 'How can a husband who lives between heaven and earth live under others for a long time?' 'You don't want to present an award to me, I don't look down on you, I'm going to present the award to myself today, so what?' ”
With that, the shadow Fudge picked up the badge and ribbon in the ceremonial hand next to him, and personally put on the badge for the "body" who was standing aside, and put on the ribbon again.
At the end, I didn't forget to pat the shoulder of the "body": "Come on, what I said is your heart's deep desire, today I will award myself an award, and when I receive the Merlin First Class Medal in the future, I will still award myself an award!" ”
The audience applauded! Fudge's "doppelganger" returns to the shadows.
No one noticed that in the crowd, behind the tall figures of Dumbledore and Hagrid, a thin figure was holding his hand to his forehead, and his mouth was chanting.
As the black shadow dissipated, Li Fei's head also raised, exhaled lightly, and muttered in his heart:
"I don't know if my words will completely expose Fudge's ambitions, forget it, no matter, anyway, Dumbledore is responsible for wiping his ass."
On the other side of the crowd, a blonde lady was looking in the direction where Li Fei was with interest, as if her eyes could clearly see Li Fei's expression directly across the crowd.
"It's naughty...... But this Li Fei may be the most real and happiest him. ”
With Fudge stepping down, the farce ended, and another silver-haired old gentleman slowly walked onto the stage.
"The next winner is different from everyone in front of him, because from this moment on, the award ceremony has officially entered the climax, and the winner I am going to introduce will receive the Merlin Order of Merlin 2nd Degree!"
There was a sudden silence in the venue, and then there was a commotion, not everyone knew all this, and many of them just came to see the excitement and increase their knowledge, so that they could go back and brag.
When I heard that I was fortunate enough to see the award ceremony of the Merlin Order of Merlin II Medal, I immediately desperately found a good position one by one, looking forward to the entry of the winners.
The introduction of the host and the old man continued: "We often say that the future of young people is promising, and the future is yours.
But is there a possibility that there are some extremely outstanding young people who do not want to wait and do not want to wait for the distant future, and they are going to shout to the world at this moment that belong to their young people!
The problem of werewolves has always been a major problem that plagues the wizarding world, but there is such a teenager, together with his teacher, he has developed a [wolf stabilization potion] that can suppress the power of werewolves after transformation, so that werewolves can still remain conscious, but they have no combat effectiveness!
Wolf stabilization medicine, Gu Ming thought, werewolves are stable, the society can be stable, and we can be more assured.
Some people may think that this Merlin Second Class Medal is just a benefit for students to follow the teacher and pick up people's teeth, but this is not the case, in the research paper of this potion, this teenager is tied with his teacher as the first author!
I think everyone can understand what this means, which means that the teenager, not just the assistant, is really involved in the analysis and research of the formula, and has achieved great results in it, so that there can be a joint first author!!
Oh, I also got a piece of news here, the naming right of this potion was actually named by the young man himself, and it is said that each bottle of potion has a message on it [Wolf Stabilizing Elixir, which is to give werewolves a stable livelihood. 】
What a great sentiment this is, what a noble sentiment this is, let me applaud this recipient of the Order of Merlin of the Second Degree, from the East - Fei Lee! ”
As the applause rang out, the old wizard waved his wand, and in an instant the entire small stage began to rise, and a noble purple light began to ripple around the stage.
In the midst of cheers and applause, Li Fei's right palm was pinned, and an incomparably beautiful and moving little fairy was dancing in his palm.
Two Ragdoll cats with blue bows are taking elegant cat steps, following Li Fei's footsteps step by step.
The purple stage stained Li Fei's body with a bit of a feeling of Ninety-Five Supreme, but it wasn't until the moment Li Fei looked at Dumbledore who was smiling and applauding from the audience, that Li Fei finally knew where he had always felt something strange.
This purple glow, isn't it a little too purple......
