Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fierce Little Lori
Domaine de la Coul, France.
"Mother, mother, look ......," little Fleur ran excitedly to the drawing-room, brandishing a copy of the Daily Prophet, and shouted loudly at Madame de la Curl.
Mrs. Delacour was a little strange: "What's the matter, baby?" ”
"It's Weston!" Fleur said loudly, "It says that Weston has won the award, what is it called the Order of Merlin Second Class!" Then, Fleur asked with a puzzled face, "By the way, Mom, what is the Order of Merlin Second Class?" ”
"What? Order of Merlin, 2nd Class? Madame Delacour was astonished and hurriedly took the Daily Prophet from Fleur's hand.
Because Weston was based in England, the Delacour family, who had only subscribed to the Journal of the Future (France's magical newspaper), also began to subscribe to the Daily Prophet, a British newspaper, and they wanted to know more about the country that had been shrouded in fog for many years.
As for the Order of Merlin, Madame de la Curl knew that it was an award of the same nature as the French "Le May", the highest honor in British magic, so of course she was very surprised.
Most wizards never get the Order of Merlin once in their lifetime, not even a third-class medal. How old is Weston? Just eight years old! How unbelievable that an eight-year-old child has received honors that other wizards may not necessarily get in their lifetime!
Madame Delacour looked at the Daily Prophet in surprise, and the smile on her face never stopped, so gentle and passionate.
Little Lori felt her mother's happiness, but she didn't understand it very much, seeing that her mother had been reading the newspaper and ignoring her questions, her little mouth couldn't help but pout, and she dragged a long emphasis dissatisfiedly: "Mom-Mom——! ”
Mrs. Delacour then took her eyes off the newspaper and looked at her daughter with a dissatisfied look, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter, dear?" ”
"You haven't answered my question yet!" Little Lori parted her little head and muttered.
Issue? Mrs. Delacour was in a trance for a moment, then remembered what her daughter wanted to ask, and patted her head apologetically: "Sorry, baby, Mommy was so happy just now, I almost forgot your question, forgive Mommy, okay?" ”
"Then you have to answer me well!" Little Lori said glutinously, glancing at Madame Delacour with big eyes, and immediately moved away.
Poof! Madame Delacour laughed at the small appearance of her daughter, and then realized that something was wrong......
Sure enough, the dissatisfied white eyes of little Lori have already floated over-
"Okay, baby, Mommy will explain to you, there are some things you really should know!" Madame de la Cuer hugged her daughter and spoke softly.
In the expectant eyes of little Lori, Mrs. Delacour began to carry out her "popular science".
"My dear, I think you know that wizards live in a world separate from Muggles. Like Muggle governments, we wizards have our own government, and that is the Ministry of Magic! ”
"Nominally, the wizards of each country are managed by the Ministry of Magic of each country!"
"Oh, that's it!" Little Lori nodded thoughtfully, she looked like a little adult, and Madame Delacour was warm and proud!
My Furong will definitely be a great beauty in the future! Cheap Weston's stinky boy! But, then again, that little guy is also very good!
Sure enough, my vision is still so good, I decided early to let this little ghost get involved, otherwise it really won't belong to Fleur in the future!
However, I don't know if Fleur will be able to pay attention to his heart in the future, after all, the name of the son-in-law is still a little not good!
Madame Delacour's thoughts drifted a little, and her heart became inexplicably worried, and she didn't even hear Fleur call her twice.
"Mom!" Fleur nudged Mrs. Delacour vigorously, drawing Mrs. Delacour's attention back.
"What's wrong, baby?" Mrs. Delacour asked curiously.
"I've called you several times, and you haven't heard me!" Little Lori said dissatisfiedly, "Moreover, you haven't said it yet, what is the Order of Merlin!" ”
"Ah, sorry, a little distracted!" Madame Delacour touched little Lori's head apologetically.
Forget it, let's talk about it later, with my daughter's charm, I can't eat that stinky boy to death! Madame Delacour thought to herself.
At this point, Madame Delacour continued: "In the wizarding world, there are some wizards with outstanding abilities who have made great contributions to the wizarding world, and they will be recognized, and the Ministry of Magic will award them with contribution awards on behalf of wizards to reward their contributions to the wizarding world. ”
"This kind of award for contribution will be set up by the Ministry of Magic in each country, and the meaning is the same, but the name is different. The 'Sun Coat of Arms' in Egypt, the 'Missionary Medal' in Germany, and the 'Lemay Medal' in our country are all like this. And the British Ministry of Magic awarded the 'Order of Merlin'. ”
"The British believe that the ancestor of magic is the legendary hero, the supreme wizard Merlin, and they worship him, hence such an award. So, got it, baby? ”
After explaining, Madame Delacour also pinched her daughter's little face affectionately.
I see! Little Lori nodded as if she didn't understand: "Doesn't that mean that Weston is very powerful now?" ”
"It's not just amazing!" Madame Delacour nodded the tip of her daughter's nose, "I heard that there are three levels of Merlin Knights, and Weston received the second-class medal at the age of eight this year, so it can be said that no one has been able to do this for thousands of years!" ”
"Wow-" Little Lori understood, and couldn't help but open her small mouth, revealing two rows of neat white teeth very unladylikely, and her two charming eyes widened at this time.
However, seeing Madame Delacour's smiling face, little Lori was inexplicably unhappy for a while, and said arrogantly: "No matter how powerful he is, he is also my future husband!" ”
"Haha......" Madame de la Cull shuddered with laughter when she heard this.
"What's the matter! Am I not right? Little Lori glared at her mother dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes, you're so right!" Madame de la Cull replied with a smile, "So, my dear, would you like to write a congratulatory letter to your future husband?" ”
"Hmph, that's for sure! He had to pay me a gift, and he didn't even tell me first! Little Lori shouted fiercely, "If there is no gift, I will, I will-"
After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't think of any threatening methods, so Xiao Lori stomped her foot fiercely: "I won't give him a child in the future!" ”
Well? Madame Delacour's eyes widened suddenly! This threat is so ruthless!
Little Lori, however, was so pleased with her idea that she hurried back to her room, and wrote to her, leaving Madame de la Cull in the drawing-room.
Is this really my child? Mrs. Delacour was a little messy......
