Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Anduin bid farewell to Professor McGonagall and went up the main tower. On the eighth floor, he found a gargoyle. After reciting the password Professor McGonagall taught him, the gargoyle jumped aside, and the stone wall behind it split in two, revealing a spiral staircase that slowly ascended.

When Anduin entered the office, Dumbledore was standing behind the door, teasing a beautiful crimson bird perched on a branch, which looked very similar to the phoenix he had seen in the book.

At this moment, Dumbledore turned around, looked at Anduin with a smile, and said, "Sorry, Fawkes has been feeling lonely recently. I haven't been spending much time in the office, just keeping him company, and didn't notice you."

"I just came in too, Headmaster. Is Fawkes a phoenix? He looks very similar to the phoenix portraits I saw in the book," Anduin smiled at Headmaster Dumbledore and asked curiously.

"Yes, your observation is very keen. As a phoenix, he has very sensitive emotions, which makes this old man very embarrassed," Dumbledore playfully teased Fawkes, who haughtily turned his head away, seemingly disliking Dumbledore's teasing, leaving the Headmaster with no choice but to shrug to ease the awkwardness.

Anduin found it very interesting that this phoenix had such rich emotional expression, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Fawkes.

"Alright, he's still shy. Staring at him will make him uncomfortable. Come, sit down," Dumbledore said when he saw that Fawkes wasn't paying much attention to Anduin.

He's quite proud, Anduin silently complained in his heart, as he followed Dumbledore to the desk and sat down.

Only then did Anduin have time to take a closer look at the headmaster's office. It was a spacious and beautiful circular room, with portraits of former headmasters and headmistresses hanging on the wall behind the desk.

At this time, the people in the portraits were in various poses, some pondering with their heads down, some dozing with their eyes closed, and some not even in the frames. One of them saw Anduin looking at him and even glared back.

"Would you like some candy first? Recently, I've been very fond of 'Lemon Sherbet Drops'. That sweet and sour taste always reminds me of my younger days," Dumbledore said with a smile, taking a candy jar from the cabinet next to him and recommending it to Anduin.

"Thank you, Professor, but I prefer chocolate. And in our Muggle world, there's a saying, 'The more people love to reminisce about the past, the more it shows they're getting old.' You look young, maybe you can spend more time thinking about the future," Anduin politely declined the candy jar Dumbledore offered.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "That's a very wise saying. I can see that you have your own opinions, so I won't force you."

With that, he took back the candy jar and stuffed a small handful of candies into his mouth.

Is this headmaster so fond of sweets? There are sweets in the room, and the password for the headmaster's office is also a sweet, Anduin thought to himself.

"Let's talk about business. You should have guessed why I called you here. The Ministry of Magic's commendation order has arrived, I'll let you have a look."

Dumbledore smiled and took out a piece of parchment with the Ministry of Magic's logo on it, and handed it to Anduin.

Anduin took it and saw that it was all about thanking and commending Anduin for bravely assisting in the fight against and arrest of Death Eaters during Christmas. Anduin quickly skimmed through the contents and looked at the reward details.

Mr. Anduin Wilson is hereby awarded the British Ministry of Magic's Silver Medal of Valor and 500 Galleons.

Not bad, that's generous, Anduin's impression of the Ministry of Magic greatly improved, and he also greatly appreciated Minister Millicent Bagnold's efficiency. As expected of a good minister in the magical world.

In a great mood, Anduin couldn't help but sing praises to Minister Bagnold in his heart, and couldn't help but smile.

Dumbledore saw Anduin chuckling and didn't interrupt him. After a while, he took out a delicate velvet-wrapped small box and a large bag of Galleons, and said to Anduin, "Come, our little hero, these are the prizes the Ministry of Magic gave you."

Anduin immediately took it. The Galleons, of course, gave a sense of security in terms of weight. He didn't open the leather bag to check in a mercenary manner, but put it aside and first opened the box containing the medal. Inside lay quietly a circular silver medal connected by a dark short ribbon. Exquisite patterns were engraved on it, and the center of the badge was engraved with a capital letter M, symbolizing the Ministry of Magic.

"Originally, the Minister of Magic was going to present it to you in person. After all, she thought it was very necessary to have some young people as role models. However, after my persuasion, Millicent agreed to your request and will not make it public for the time being, but if there is a chance in the future, she may still make it public," Dumbledore said with a smile as he watched Anduin excitedly playing with the medal.

"Thank you, Professor, and please thank Minister Bagnold for me. I am already very satisfied with the current situation," Anduin said to Dumbledore with a smile, still excited.

"Well, by the way, there's another gift for you, which was sent to you by a friend who doesn't want to reveal their name," Dumbledore nodded first, then seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a crystal bottle from the drawer next to him, and handed it to Anduin.

Anduin took it and saw that it was a potion. The crystal bottles containing the potions were very delicate, completely different from the glass potion bottles he usually used for potion making, and couldn't help but look at Dumbledore in confusion.

"This is Baruffio's Brain Elixir, a very difficult potion to make. I've checked it, there's no problem, it should be said to be very good. It can significantly enhance the taker's brainpower, but the effect is very strong, just pour half an ounce into water and take it every day. Taking too much can cause headaches, nausea, and even coma," Dumbledore said.

When Anduin heard that this was the famous Baruffio's Brain Elixir, he was shocked. This potion costs at least hundreds of Galleons on the market, and it is still in a state where there is a price but no market, because this potion is very difficult to make, and the materials are very rare. If there is any mistake in the production process, it can easily become a poison that can turn people into idiots. Who is it that can give such a potion as a gift?

"This, this potion is too precious, can I know who gave it to me?" Anduin looked solemnly at the crystal bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but ask Dumbledore.
