Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts
Chapter 292 Commendation and Compensation
"...all members of the Wizengamot voted unanimously to award Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart with the Order of Merlin, First Class, in recognition of his role in capturing Peter Pettigrew.
His heroic performance, and his great contribution to the security and stability of the wizarding world... In addition, the Wizengamot also paid tribute to his assistant, Mr. Glenn Ollivander, a third-year student at Hogwarts.
A medal of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, was awarded, which will be delivered to Mr. Lockhart on his behalf..."
Below this passage is a photo taken after Fudge placed the medal on Lockhart.
On the screen, Fudge had a look of relief on his face. Lockhart specially wore an exquisite sky-blue robe and maintained the same elegant smile on his face, showing eight neat and white teeth.
On his chest, a gorgeous gold medal was hung. The ribbon of the medal was green, which meant that it was a rare first-class medal of the Order of Merlin.
It can be seen that in order to win over Lockhart, Fudge showed great sincerity.
Normally speaking, according to the importance of this incident, it is far from the first-level standard, and at most it is a second-level medal. However, with Fudge's hard work and hard work, he was able to get the highest level.
Award, the intention to win over is evident.
In addition, the third-class medal handed over by Lockhart was obviously a gesture of goodwill to Glenn.
Seeing this, Qiu looked at Glenn with confusion and asked in a low voice: "It was obviously you who caught Wormtail, why did the Ministry of Magic give the highest reward to Lockhart?"
Glenn looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he explained Dumbledore's plan to her in a low voice.
"Since Sirius Black was unable to be present, the Ministry of Magic announced compensation measures for him directly to the public. In order to compensate for the injustice he suffered and his contribution in this incident, the Wizengamot will award him a
Sir Merlin was awarded the Second Class Medal. At the same time, on the basis of a large financial compensation, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, also expressed his willingness to provide Mr. Black with the opportunity to work in the Ministry of Magic, and invited him to serve as Deputy Director of the Auror Office
position..."
Facts have proved that the Ministry of Magic spent a lot of money in order to prevent this unjust case from affecting its overall reputation.
Although the Merlin Order of Merlin is only a nominal award, as the highest honor in the magic world, it cannot be awarded casually. Not to mention awarding three medals at once. Over the years, only Dafa, who invented the Wolfsbane potion, has
Morris and Lockhart, who became famous by writing books, received a second-class and a third-class medal respectively.
Even though Fudge is the Minister of Magic, he cannot arbitrarily influence the decisions of the Wizengamot. At least in the original book, he won the first-class medal for himself on the grounds that he had contributed to the magical society as the Minister of Magic. Now it is
It's completely out of the question.
As for other arrangements, he showed his political wisdom, especially the position of deputy director prepared for Sirius.
Although this position has vaguely touched the power center of the Ministry of Magic, the actual value is not even as good as the financial compensation of real money, but it can show great sincerity in front of the public.
For Fudge, the Crouch family has completely lost its competitiveness, and Mrs. Amelia Bones is not interested in power disputes. So in addition to "external threats" like Dumbledore, the most likely
The only person who affected his status was Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office.
This is indeed the case. After Fudge stepped down in the original book, it was Scrimgeour who took over as Minister of Magic.
And throwing Sirius, who is likely to be Dumbledore's direct descendant, to Scrimgeour, if you are lucky enough, it may cause a conflict between the two and reduce the possibility of Dumbledore and Scrimgeour working together to deal with him.
To take a step back, even if there is no conflict between the two, it will not be harmful to him. At least the public can see his sincerity in compensating Sirius.
Of course, these calculations are meaningless to Dumbledore, and it is impossible for Sirius to accept the invitation to work in the Ministry of Magic. He has already made the decision to take over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class next school year together with his friend Lupine.
professor.
...
With the publication of this issue of the "Daily Prophet", not only Hogwarts, but also the entire wizarding world caused an uproar.
Who would have thought that Black, the notorious criminal who had been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years and wanted for more than half a year, would have a complete identity reversal overnight. On the contrary, he had always been a criminal.
Peter Pettigrew, who was regarded as a hero, was the real traitor and murderous executioner.
For a time, the evaluation of the Ministry of Magic has become one of the hottest topics nowadays, and the reputation of the Ministry of Magic has also become polarized. Some people believe that the Ministry of Magic's actions and arrangements are quite complete and have made great contributions to maintaining the stability of the magical world.
No small contribution. Others began to blame the Ministry of Magic's corrupt system and chaotic management, which led to such a serious unjust case, causing an innocent outstanding wizard to be wrongly imprisoned and endured more than ten years in Azkaban.
Years of torture, such compensation is far from making up for the pain he has suffered over the years.
It is conceivable that if Lockhart had not proposed the plan to Fudge, the Ministry of Magic would have been blamed far more seriously than it is now.
This situation also greatly improved Lockhart's good impression in Fudge's mind.
Of course, the person who gained the most from this incident was not the Ministry of Magic, nor Sirius, who was finally exonerated, but Lockhart.
With the awarding of the Order of Merlin, First Class, and the continuous praise from the Ministry of Magic, Lockhart's status in the hearts of the magical people has once again risen, and he has become the most popular figure among young people. He even...
There are a large number of idiot fans who exaggerate the facts and directly compare him with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore did not comment on this.
In addition to him, Glenn's name gradually began to spread throughout the wizarding world. As the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, coupled with his ancient orthodox blood origin and his undisputed outstanding performance, he
His reputation at Hogwarts has completely surpassed Harry's, and he has become a true leader in the eyes of the students.
In this regard, Harry, who knew him well, did not show any dissatisfaction.
For him, maybe this is not a bad thing. Compared with the days when he always stayed in the spotlight, where his every word and deed was judged by others, and he often shouldered the responsibility of being a savior, today's environment is obviously more conducive to his growth.
