This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Although the gold content is not as high as before, the Order of Merlin has always been the highest honor in the British wizarding world.

Almost at the same time, wizard news around the world reported the news.

France: "The youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history!" 》

Germany: "Vincent Wayne, a new legend!" 》

Russia: "Nicolas Flamel's apprentice, Dumbledore's successor!" ? 》

There are all praises here in Europe, but it's a bit sour when you come to America.

United States: "In-depth review of the Philosopher's Stone incident, here are the details you have overlooked!" 》

Brazil: "As we all know,

British people love to brag~"

Of course, the Asian region is all impartial, neither praising nor criticizing.

After being awarded the medal, the seven medal recipients were all accepting exclusive interviews with various magazines and newspapers.

Vincent was very lucky that the person interviewing him happened to be Rita.

"Long time no see, reporter."

"Ah - yes, Mr. Wayne."

She seemed quite reserved,

"Received the third degree of the Order of Merlin,

I wonder what you feel now? "

"What do you think I should have?"

Vincent chuckled after she became nervous, "I am still young and will not stop at the achievements in front of me."

"Admirable idea!"

Rita, who was on pins and needles, asked two more questions and then ran away.

Even if he did ask for something, it would be in vain.

A year ago, she was still thinking about coming back for revenge.

Now people are different, and they can even cripple Quirrell.

She definitely didn't want to experience that miserable look.

Vincent's ability to deal with this famous reporter made the other six envious.

Especially Lockhart, who kept asking for details in the book.

Ever since Rita came to him, her whole face seemed to have changed.

Not only was his tone unkind, but his attitude was also extremely unfriendly.

"Mr. Lockhart, may I ask why you are late?"

"Um - I already explained this just now."

"But that doesn't excuse you from being late."

Lockhart looked up to the sky, "Ah - the sun is very bright today!"

"Are you avoiding it?"

"Of course not." He smiled bitterly and cast an admiring look at Vincent.

Rita stared at him and wrote a long paragraph with the quill in her hand, "What do you think of that group of children?"

This is a difficult question to answer.

Lockhart hesitated for a long time, "We need more heroes!"

"Do you feel you are inferior to them?"

He tried to maintain a bright smile on his face, "What we have achieved is completely different,

Cannot be compared. "

"Are you feeling guilty?"

"No, no,

I'm happy for them.

"Can I understand that as jealousy?"

Just when Lockhart was about to burst into tears,

Dumbledore came over with a plate of snacks.

"Oh - are you still interviewing?"

Rita stiffened her neck and looked at him, "Professor Dumbledore, do you have something to ask Mr. Lockhart?"

"No, no." Dumbledore put the small plate on the table between the two of them, "Really, I was just curious about why no reporter came to interview me."

As the number one black figure in the magic world, she has always adhered to this intention.

"Professor, how do you feel now?"

"Proud, I feel very proud."

"What do you think of Mr. Wayne's future?"

"I hope they can surpass me and open a new chapter for the wizarding world."

Just these two questions alone, Rita already had countless ways to phrase them.

What kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation has changed from level one to level two.

Why don't you accept old age and plan to retire in another hundred years?

Dumbledore winked at Lockhart before answering the next question.

This is a sign of being targeted, and it also symbolizes that something bad is about to happen.

It was a pity that Lockhart was completely unaware of this, and looked at him with eyes filled with gratitude.

"Mr. Wayne—Mr. Wayne—"

Vincent looked back and looked at Xenophilius in front of him, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Lovegood."

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about that weapon in detail later."

"OK,

It is an alchemical item I designed that combines blades and firearms, and its name is called the Super Powerful Enhanced Edition. "

"super

high

power

Plus? "

"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't bring the real thing here."

Xenophilius was slightly disappointed and changed the subject to an extremely sensitive topic, "Mr. Wayne, I want to know whether Mr. Flamel destroyed the Philosopher's Stone."

Vincent looked at Fudge who was chatting happily with the guests in the distance.

The sales volume of the magical magazine "The Quibbler" is higher than that of the semi-official "Daily Prophet".

Wizards are human beings too, and they also have a curiosity for novelty.

Although most people laughed it off, there were also many people who flocked to its content.

"The Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed by his own hands." Vincent shook his head, "Professor Dumbledore and I saw it with our own eyes.

It's a pity, but it's the truth. "

"And M. Flamel's manuscript?"

"The teacher hasn't planned to hand it over to me yet."

Those who truly know the "truth" are like a pyramid in the magic world.

Through Xenophilius, he can send a vague signal to the outside world.

Whether Nico is dead or not, he will die in the end.

It doesn't matter whether the news is kept secret for a year or two.

Even if the manuscript is threatened and taken away, its unique encryption method is enough to ensure its safety.

Such layers of routines are very much like Dumbledore's handwriting.

Vincent's back felt a chill for no reason.

It's okay to go to school at Hogwarts. If he graduates, there will definitely be dark wizards looking for him.

According to his personality, he will probably hate them all his life.

"Mr. Wayne - Mr. Wayne -"

"Ah - sorry, I remembered something very important."

Dumbledore, who was discussing something with Lockhart, actually wanted to force him to stand on the opposite side of the dark wizard while being as cautious as possible against Grindelwald.

Fortunately, I knew Trelawney's prophecy. Otherwise, I would have to follow this designed path obediently without knowing anything.

The existence that could defeat the first generation of Dark Lord and force the second generation of Dark Lord to not dare to show up is indeed not as simple as it seems.

After apologizing to Xenophilius, Vincent went straight to Dumbledore's next table and sat down.

The other party did not shy away from him and directly invited Lockhart.

"Gilderoy, the children in the school like you very much, and we just happen to have a vacancy now."

"Oh? There is such a good thing-" Lockhart nodded quickly, "I mean I feel very honored. Returning to Hogwarts to teach has always been the top three on my wish list."

"In this case, I will send you the official documents as soon as possible."

"I can't wait."

Vincent was shocked for the third time.

The weird Principal Dumbledore actually intended to let Lockhart be the unlucky one.
