Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

It is finally over, how many people have passed the assessment now? "

"As of last night, a total of 275 students have cleared customs. Unfortunately, there is not enough time, otherwise the number may at least double, and I have even received several requests for delayed vacation ... incredible."

In the principal's office, Dumbledore said with a chuckle, a happy reflection flashing on the lens.

In the soft armchair not far from the old wizard, Elena stretched a lazy waist, ignoring Fox's expectant look on the bird stand next to her, grabbed a fragrant fried fish rice, and threw it into her mouth. Shook his head.

"It's still too late, and proper regret is more conducive to continuing the enthusiasm for learning--"

"Yes, I think so too, so I rejected these applications in good faith and prepared them to enjoy the summer life with peace of mind. But I must say again, will the bonus be too much."

"Are you worried that people will spend money because of too much pocket money? Rest assured, this is my field."

Elena smiled slightly and took a few pieces of parchment from her chest and spread them on Dumbledore's table.

"How to recycle extra gold coins is not a complicated matter, right? House elves are happy to serve everyone during the holidays. As for the messenger, it is said that there are many more lives in the owl shed this year- "

"Yes, I finally made up for last year's losses, and this time I will consider the prohibition on consumption and toxic labels."

"... cough, that was a long time ago."

Elena coughed a little embarrassedly, ignoring Dumbledore's ridicule and continued.

"In addition, as we have discussed before, when everyone returns home, the school will once again send an owl messenger to each clearing student's home, telling their parents that they have passed the final assessment and received a sum of money. Good news for the huge bonus ... Of course, this may require you as the sender. "

"Oh, this is really bad news." Dumbledore shook his head and sighed helplessly. "Of course, if I refuse, I guess you can find someone who imitates my signature, right? Hopefully. I will still receive gifts during the Christmas semester. "

"It doesn't matter, I can issue a special issue for you in" New Singing Contrast ", if you need it ..."

Elena shrugged her shoulders unmoved, grabbed a small fish and sprinkled it into Fox's trough, and inquired carelessly while touching the warm and tender feathers of the golden-red bird.

"But speaking of it, I originally thought you would oppose my placement at the sixth pass. If I guessed right, should the school receive a lot of complaint letters in the past few weeks? It is said that a few days ago, Connelly Fudge came to Hogwarts in person. "

"In fact, on the contrary, everyone agrees with such an attempt ..."

Dumbledore smiled, fumbled around the table, and handed Elena a small box.

Clicking, the box opened gently to reveal the contents.

Two delicate gold medals with magical light lie quietly in the center of the red mat.

"As for Connelly, in fact he came to school for another thing-congratulations, you won a Merlin Jazz Class II Medal and a Merlin Jazz Class III Medal, on the grounds that the Ministry of Magic successfully seized Little dwarf Peter provided important information, and in the Hogwarts education reform, proposed a constructive practical assessment plan. "

A glance at the odd expression on Elena's face, the smile on Dumbledore's face could not help but thicken.

"I know that for you, these two medals are probably nothing; but this is a memorable brand of life. Its significance is not in the number of medals it is, nor in whom it is awarded. What ’s more important is to record the correct and memorable things you did at a certain node. Perhaps, you need to wait many years later when you start to review the footprints that you have left in this life before you can realize their What's precious. "

The Merlin Medal of the Order originated in the fifteenth century and was conferred by Wisengama. It is usually composed of a gold medal with a corresponding color ribbon. It is the most widely recognized social contribution medal in the magic world today.

Each level of medals represents different meanings, and the importance is not strictly determined by the size of numbers.

The Merlin First Class Medal is awarded to those who "exhibit particularly outstanding courage and talent" in the field of magic and society. The medal is decorated with green ribbons. Dumbledore has won the Merlin First Class Medal several times.

Of course, the little dwarf stars Peter and Tom Riddle have also had Merlin first-class medals.

The Merlin Jazz Class II Medal is awarded to people with "Outstanding Achievement or Effort", with a purple ribbon. The three-level medal is usually awarded to those who "contribute in academic or entertainment" and is accompanied by a white ribbon.

Over a long period of time, there are usually several awards for a generation of talent.

As bureaucratic thinking gradually spreads in Wiesengama, the number of Merlin Jazz Medal winners has increased significantly in recent years, especially the number of high-level medals is far more than ordinary people think. For a coveted award, it is not uncommon for the number of first-level medals to exceed the sum of second- and third-level medals.

Even so, Dumbledore wants to make an exception to apply for two medals for an 11-year-old Elena. It is still not so easy, especially if the reasons he gave are not so convincing.

"... I really don't understand your thoughts, in short, thank you."

After glancing at Dumbledore, who was serious about it, Elena didn't know what to say for a while.

Even if the old wizard did not say anything, she could guess that these two medals were definitely not sent by her own initiative. For Albus Dumbledore ’s unconventional stubbornness, Elena is not the first time. I saw it.

"To be honest, Professor," Elena pouted, "Compared to these two inedible medals, I actually--"

"At the same time, you will also get this ..."

Before Elena finished speaking, she saw Dumbledore, like Santa Claus who distributed gifts at Christmas, took out a small box from the edge of the table and handed it to Elena. It was also a golden medal.

[Hogwarts Special Contribution Award-Elena Caslana]

"First of all I have to make a solemn statement ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This is by no means an award for your mortgage school."

Dumbledore said half-jokingly, stroking his finger on the golden shield-shaped medal, his blue eyes staring through the lens at the silver-haired little witch in front of him, and his tone gradually became formal.

"Elena Kaslana, in the Hogwarts 1991-1992 school year, you have made a remarkable contribution to breaking the long-term invisible barriers between the four colleges, uniting and uniting the students of the whole school. Therefore, as the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I give you the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award in recognition of your contribution to the school. "

"Oh, of course, the formal awarding ceremony will take place at tomorrow's casual school ceremony."

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly blinked mischievously and quickly returned the medal.

"You have to understand, because I need to decide how many points should be given to Hufflepuff based on the scores of the four colleges tomorrow, to ensure that as the winner of this year's special contribution award, you can help your college win the College Cup.

"... This kind of behind-the-scenes thing, if you say it directly, will it be inappropriate."

Elena's mouth twitched slightly, and the excitement in her heart subsided in an instant.

"No, I must explain in advance, otherwise ..."

Dumbledore shook his head and said meaningfully.

"If the scores of Hufflepuff College fail to meet the standards tomorrow, I'm afraid that some strange things will happen in the school on the last day of the school year, right? Miss Caslana ..."

"Um ... rest assured, Gryffindor won't fight Slytherin tomorrow! I promise!"
