"Dumbledore, what do you think of this spell?"

Snape hadn't noticed Dumbledore's strange look when he entered the Headmaster's office, and he repeated what Dudley had done in Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

"What about you, Severus, what do you think?"

As Dumbledore at the top of the wizarding world, of course he knew the meaning of this spell.

The wizard who invented this spell will be rewarded with unimaginable glory.

"I think Dursley is good enough to get a Merlin First Class Medal."

Snape looked at Dumbledore's unequivocal voice.

Although the Merlin Third-Class Medal is not worth much, and the second-level Medal has a certain amount of water, the gold content of the First-Class Medal is still very high, and only those who have made outstanding contributions to the wizarding world are eligible to be nominated, which is the highest honor in the wizarding world, and it is also the least issued medal in the wizarding world.

A few years ago, the wizard Damocles Belby, who invented the potion of wolf poison, was awarded the Order of Merlin, 1st degree.

The Humanoid Restoration Charm was a better invention than the Wolf Poison Elixir, and if Dudley received it, it would be much easier for him to do whatever he wanted to do in the future.

Dumbledore was the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and one of the duties of the Wizengamot was to award the Order of Merlin.

As the Chief Wizard, Dumbledore was the most qualified person to apply for Dudley's Order of Merlin, the first class.

In other words, in layman's terms, it is - find acquaintances.

This is why Snape took Dudley to Dumbledore.

"Severus, that's just your idea. You haven't asked Dudley yet, I'd like to hear what he thinks. ”

Dumbledore said and glanced meaningfully at Snape.

It was the first time in years that he had seen Snape so concerned about anything other than Lily.

Dudley is Lily's nephew, yes, but Snape doesn't even pay attention to Lily's own sister Penny, let alone just a nephew.

One thing Dumbledore was certain, though, that Snape was genuinely good to Dudley.

"Dudley, are you willing to report this spell and make it public?"

"Of course."

Dudley nodded, he hadn't even thought to keep the spell.

But he added, "Professor, I'd like to add the name of the old wizard who came up with the idea of the spell and developed it in the signature. ”

"His name is Hemmer, and he's a very good wizard."

If the other party can hold on a little longer, he will be able to save him, and every wizard in Lockhart's story is extremely good, and their knowledge and experience are the most valuable assets.

"In that case, it's a joint name, and if it's a joint name, it's very likely that you won't be able to get the Merlin First Class Medal."

Dumbledore stared at Dudley, wondering what Dudley would choose, and the 'bad guy' even deliberately said, "This is a discovery greater than the wolf poison potion." ”

"If you were the only one on the signature, you would have unimaginable glory."

Dudley shook his head decisively, "It doesn't matter, Professor. ”

"One is one, two is two, I'm just picking up people's teeth, without him, there would be no current humanoid restoration spell."

Dumbledore was very satisfied with Dudley's answer, and did not lose his eyes for the so-called honor, if he didn't take the initiative to say that no one would know about the wizard named Hemmer.

Snape frowned slightly, but quickly relieved that if it were Lily, he would have made the same choice as him. He really liked this boy who inherited Lily's talent and had a shadow of his former self.

"And it's just the Merlin Medal, it doesn't matter if you don't have it."

Glory is dispensable to Dudley, even if it is a first-class medal, it has no practical effect other than to use it to pretend to be forced.

No one else will obey you unconditionally just because you have a first-class medal.

Not as good as something more practical

"Looks like Dudley, you've figured out what it is?"

"Professor, I want to join the Wizengamot."

At the heart of the wizarding world is the Ministry of Magic, a place that rots but is the undisputed core of power.

Don't look at Fudge as a waste in the mouths of powerful wizards, but you must also follow what he says and orders, unless you are ready to flip the table, and have the ability to do so.

Just like in the world of ordinary people, ordinary people in England also often hack their prime minister, so what? Even if the prime minister is a pig in the live broadcast of the public, the general public is at most used as an after-dinner conversation, and he is still the prime minister.

Dudley would not have been able to enter the Ministry of Magic until he graduated, though he had no intention of doing so.

But Wizengamot does not have this provision. As a combination of court and parliament, Wizengamot members have a high degree of freedom.

You can enter even without graduating, as long as you have this qualification.

With only fifty members, Wizengamot is part of the top wizarding circles, not much worse than the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, and even more influential.

The most important point is that the Ministry of Magic in England is only the Ministry of Magic in England, even if it is the oldest and most influential in the whole of Europe, but it is only one of them, and the Wizengamot covers the whole of Europe.

"Wizengamot." Dumbledore chewed on the name repeatedly.

Dudley has ambitions and never hides his ambitions. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The ambition to acquire knowledge.

Desire to surpass the professor's ambitions.

The ambition to become stronger.

Perhaps that's why the Sorting Hat sent Dudley to Slytherin.

But none of these ambitions are negative, like the disciplinary group.

Since the formation of the disciplinary team, the school spirit at Hogwarts has really improved, there has not been a single incident of bullying since last year, and this year's first year students are exceptionally well-behaved.

That's why Dumbledore was on Dudley's side in many things.

"I can nominate you, but whether it will succeed depends on the other members to vote by a show of hands."

Dumbledore said after a moment's thought.

"It's the same with the Merlin Medal, as I said. The Humanoid Restoration Charm is a greater invention than the Wolf Poison Potion, not just the Werewolf. Perhaps the wizards who are plagued by the Blood Curse can also find a big solution. ”

"Professor, blood spells aren't like werewolves."

Dudley shook his head.

It's not that he hasn't studied the blood spell, the werewolf beast, and the blood spell also makes people beast, which sounds the same, but in fact they are completely two concepts.

Both the Blazing Flame and the Flame Charm can summon fire, but the fire they summon is not the same thing.

Blood spells are more complex than werewolves. Werewolves can only affect one generation, except for the special werewolves born by the combination of these two werewolves in the wolf form, I haven't heard that they can be inherited, and the blood curse is like a bone gangrene passed down from generation to generation, and in the later stage of beasthood, it will completely lose its memory and become a pure beast.

"But it's also an inspiration, isn't it?"

Dumbledore blinked, a smile in his eyes.

It wasn't long before Snape and Dudley left the headmaster's office.

Dumbledore, who was about to eat some more candy snacks, was suddenly noticed by a whimper, and he realized that the special werewolf who had not been taken away by the two of them, and was forgotten in the corner.

"Huh?"
