Fudge made good on his promise, and the next morning he arranged for a glittering Merlin medal to be delivered, and, in the presence of Dumbledore, a simple investiture ceremony was held in which most of the professors in the school were witnesses.

The Order of Merlin plays an important role in the European wizarding community as a whole, and in the British Ministry of Magic, holders of the Order of Merlin and above will automatically become honorary members of the Wizengamot Jury, with the right to vote in the trial.

This is a very remarkable right, which means that even in front of those officials at the level of department heads of the Ministry of Magic, Amosta can be respected, and although Amosta has many ways to keep those officials in awe of him, it is useful to have a decent status on the surface.

Apparently, Amosta underestimated the curiosity people were about the basilisk that had the name of an ancient creature and was associated with the great founder of Hogwarts.

According to Dumbledore, in just one day, Fudge received nearly two hundred letters asking the Ministry of Magic to make a public display of the basilisk, and the Ministry had already held an emergency meeting to decide to make a public display at Hogsmeade next month.

The Daily Prophet sent a group of reporters to do an urgent interview, and many magical beast experts, including the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the famous Mr. Newman Scamander, made it clear that they would attend the exhibition.

Through Dumbledore, Fudge sent an invitation to Amosta, hoping that Amosta would be a special guest at the exhibition, and in front of everyone, he would be able to talk about the 'huge' and 'non-negligible' role that the Ministry of Magic played in the event, but Amosta rejected it with an angry white eye...

"I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Amosta!"

Lockhart, who hadn't been in the public eye for a while, almost knocked Professor Flitwick out of the air, because his teeth were still shining because of Madam Pomfrey's careful care,

"I can go to the exhibition with you, Amosta, and I can impart some valuable lessons to you about maintaining a perfect demeanor in public and creating hot topics!"

I think you need to urgently learn about the experience of being friendly with Dementors, Professor Lockhart-Amosta thought to himself, dodging his entanglement.

Although Amosta is not a student of Gryffindor House, he belongs to Hogwarts after all, and Professor McGonagall covered her mouth, her eyes were red, and she looked at Amosta who walked by proudly.

"Ahem, Professor McGonagall--"

Amosta smiled shyly, "You see when it's convenient to put ... I mean, salary..."

As a result, Professor McGonagall's eyes turned even redder...

Snape stood silently alone, looking at the young Amosta, who was laughing with everyone, and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth appeared in a slight curvature.

"You can all have a brighter life, Severus—"

Dumbledore walked over and whispered, "We can't change the tragic things that happened in the past, but the future is always a choice, Severus, if you will..."

Before Dumbledore could finish the rest of the sentence, Snape had already walked away first.

Lockhart had been in bed for almost two months, and it would take a few days to fully recover, so Amosta was still in charge of the final week of the Defence Against the Dark Arts course.

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts practice class, when Amosta led a shirtless middle-aged man with a gloomy and terrifying expression to the Quidditch pitch, most of them showed expressions of unknown expressions, and of course, there were also a few Hufflepuff seniors who smiled infatuously at the middle-aged man's strong chest muscles.

And what happened next can basically be described in four words: miserable.

When the middle-aged man completed his transformation in front of everyone, revealing a terrifying wolf head, baring his hideous canine teeth, and letting out a murderous and violent scream, almost half of these senior wizards who were about to graduate were directly paralyzed on the lawn with fright, and some who could move were also on all fours, desperately fleeing for their lives in all directions!

"Hey, come back, little ones, I've already told you in class how this thing is right..., okay, maybe you can go together, as long as you can put him down, I'll tell Professor Lockhart that you can get 'O' for the final exam of Defence Against the Dark Arts class!"

Looking at the little wizards who were scattered as birds and beasts, Amosta with a black line on his face 'roared'!

Amosta's encouragement still had some effect, as several young wizards raised their wands tremblingly in an attempt to stop the werewolves from approaching, and Percy even removed a handful of black hair from the werewolf's chest with a beautiful crushing charm.

There is also Oliver Wood of Gryffindor, who casts a stun spell, but for some reason, the red light of the willow branch does not hit the werewolf, but instead hits Marcus Flint, who is fleeing in the other direction, and it is not known if this is a 'personal vendetta'.

"I told you..."

Amosta sighed helplessly,

"Werewolf fur's magic resistance is outstanding even among magical beasts, and a spell cast with the strength of a young wizard can't knock down a werewolf... It's hard for a werewolf to keep a clear mind when transforming, and creating traps and transfigurations are the most useful in fighting werewolves..."

"We're not you, Professor Blaine," Penelope said in a pitiful tone, "it's within our power to deal with the Boggart..."

"Oh, that kid-bluffing thing!" Amosta wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly, "You should pursue a little higher, Miss Krivat!" ”

"But--" Percy gasped in support of his girlfriend, "we were little wizards, Professor--"

In the end, none of the older students were able to do any real harm to the werewolf that Amosta had conjured up with his chair, and to be honest, he was a little disappointed that what if in school, in a heavily protected environment, these children were unable to face the real dangers, and when they stepped into the wizarding world, they were completely unprepared?

Throughout his two-month coaching career, Amosta has actually found a lot of talented young wizards.

Needless to say, Potter's quick reflexes and keen instincts for danger were par excellence, and Hermione's thirst for knowledge and competitiveness would also make her a great place to succeed in the future.

The Gryffindor twin brothers are commendable for their ability to innovate, their little sister Ginny responds well to changes, and Neville bursts into an eye-catching burst of potential under pressure... There are also many little wizards, for example, Cedric of Hufflepuff, Luna Lovegood of Ravenclaw, Brace Shabini of Slytherin, Theodore Noether, including Draco, these little wizards are all quite talented.

Unfortunately, almost every one of them has a huge flaw.

From Amosta's point of view, if there are no accidents, they can become excellent wizards, but if it is said that the future strength and excellence are comparable to themselves, or Professor Snape's level, there may not be one.

But then again, everyone has different expectations for the future, just like the Weasleys twin brothers, who obviously want to do something about those funny products, not everyone is like Amosta, who has been determined to be a powerful wizard since the first day he knew about the existence of the wizarding world!

"It's good to know and expect what kind of wizard you want to be in the future, and keep moving forward and try to move in that direction..."

Late Friday night, Amosta looked at his empty office, smiled and whispered, then picked up his suitcase and closed the office door...
