Chapter 232: Thank You
It was only then that everyone in the auditorium reacted.
What did they just hear...... Runaway werewolves?
Even if you are a freshman, after this year of study, you know very well how terrible werewolves are.
When I was learning the werewolf code of conduct, I mentioned that it was a 5X level, and the transformed werewolf was fierce, agile, and extremely powerful, and would cause deadly danger to wizards.
Even a lot of adult wizards, even the Ministry of Magic strikers, couldn't deal with werewolves, and that was always the job of the Aurors.
They couldn't figure out how Kyle did it......
At the Gryffindor table, Ron and Harry's eyes were already wide-eyed.
Ever since the truth came out, they've always had that look.
They're still carrying werewolf behavior, and Kyle is already able to tear werewolves apart, so the gap is a bit too big.
Hermione was better, she had thought that the person who received the medal might be Kyle, so there were no surprises.
No matter what the others thought, at the guest of honor, Dumbledore had already taken and opened the box that Doug McField had handed him.
Inside is a delicate gold medallion and a purple ribbon.
The ribbon color of the Order of the Order of Merlin is also different for each rank, the first level is green, the second level is purple, and the third level is white.
It's just that this thing is supposed to be standard, and the strap is a bit big on Kyle's body, almost diagonally from his left shoulder to his calf.
If this were to be red...... That would be festive.
Dumbledore flicked his fingers, and in an instant it was the right size.
"Thank you for everything, kid." Dumbledore solemnly handed the gold medal to Kyle.
"Thank you for your teaching, Professor." Kyle reached out and shook Dumbledore's hand gently.
β¦β¦
If someone were standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might think there was an explosion here.
The cheers from the four houses rose one after another, and at the Hufflepuff table, Mikel and Ryan stood on their stools cheering, eager to tell everyone that Kyle was their roommate.
Even Cedric and Connor, who had always been calm, jumped up and down the table excitedly.
Dumbledore didn't interrupt them again this time.
It wasn't until everyone clapped their hands numb and shouted hoarsely that the deafening cheers gradually subsided.
"As the Headmaster of Hogwarts......" Dumbledore continued, "I'm going to reward Hufflepuff House with two hundred points, and Kyle will once again receive the Special Contribution Award to the School." β
The crowd, which had just been quiet for a short time, became noisy again.
The dΓ©cor in the auditorium had reverted to its previous appearance, but not many Gryffindors felt sorry for it.
Just like Harry added one hundred and fifty points to Gryffindor, Kyle had no problem adding points this time.
Some people even think that 200 points is too little, it is the Order of the Order of the Merlin, or the second class...... At least 500 points will be added.
Headmaster Dumbledore was too stingy.
At the end of the ceremony, Dumbledore put Kyle in his place and gave a speech.
Kyle cleared his throat,
"Then I'll just say a few words......
Because he was in a hurry to eat, Kyle didn't talk at length, but just said some suggestions on how to improve learning efficiency and how to develop a harmonious Hogwarts campus.
However, most of the students were not interested in this, and only a small number of them listened attentively.
Hermione, for example, not only listened carefully, but even memorized all these words word for word.
And Neville...... He also wanted to write it down, but when he finished the first sentence, he forgot everything that followed.
At the end of his speech, Kyle made a small wish.
He hoped that next year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts would be free of casualties and would be alive until the end of the next school year.
Everyone laughed tacitly, and even the wizards who had come to visit shook their heads.
Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts professors have accidents every year, and it's no secret to the wizarding world, of course they know.
This time of year is also the least popular time for Dumbledore.
He's like a stinking mountain monster, unpleasant and unwelcome, and will eat shut up wherever he goes.
In order to prevent Dumbledore from visiting, some people will even run away to other countries to take refuge in other countries before Hogwarts is on vacation, and then stay until the school year starts in September.
"Oh, it looks like we'll have to get back soon, it would be bad if we got pestered by him."
McFille smiled and half-jokingly said to Sathya, who was sitting next to him, "I'm old, it's okay to help award the medal, but forget about being a professor." β
"yes, it's too dangerous."
Sathya also covered her mouth and chuckled, "We thought about whether to prepare a separate area for those Defense Professors. β
Beside him, Dumbledore blushed and glared at Kyle angrily.
What are you talking about, little bastard!
When Kyle finishes speaking, the long-delayed banquet begins.
Kyle, who returns to the Hufflepuff table, is also the center of attention, and the young wizards continue to congratulate him on receiving the Order of the Order of the Order of Merlin.
So much so that Kyle didn't eat a few bites of rice, but the pumpkin juice was almost full.
"You even hide it from us......"
After a long time, the congratulatory crowd gradually dispersed. Cedric said with a straight face: "Before this, we didn't even know you had been to St. Mungo!" β
"I didn't know I could actually get the Merlin Medal." Kyle explained, "And it's over, and even if you say it, it's just worrying you." β
"You're not right, we're friends." Connor wrinkled her nose and said, "Isn't it normal to worry about your friends?" β
"That's right, so I can't forgive you even if you say that." Cedric said in a cold tone, "Unless you swear that you won't hide it from us when you encounter danger in the future!" β
"You're going too far." Kyle gave him an annoyed look, "I seem to be in danger all the time." β
"Uh-huh...... Isn't it? Cedric raised an eyebrow:
"Except for St. Mungo...... The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor incident in the past two years has also been related to you, and you don't know where to run when it comes to Quidditch, and ......"
"Well, I promise you!" Kyle quickly interrupted him and said decisively, "I swear by Dumbledore's beard!" β
Cedric laughed again.
"That's right...... Congratulations on receiving the Merlin Medal. He held up a glass of pumpkin juice.
"Congratulations!" Connor raised her glass as well.
Looking at the cup in their hands, which was more than a circle larger than the others, and the pumpkin juice in it, Kyle's face turned green, and he felt a churn in his stomach.
"You did it on purpose!"
"Hahaha!"
Cedric laughed happily, "Whoever told you to hide it from us is your punishment." β
Connor smiled, too, "But for your sake of reclaiming the House Cup for us, we'll allow you to drink it later." β
"Hehe......" Kyle rubbed his belly:
"Thank you!"
