Standing on the high platform, looking at hundreds of wizards, Dumbledore spoke calmly and calmly:
"I once heard a saying - a race without heroes is unfortunate, and a race that has heroes but does not know how to respect and cherish them is hopeless - I deeply believe it."
"In the past years, countless wizards have made outstanding contributions to the magical world.
Their courage, wisdom, loyalty and fearlessness have brought major changes to our world, and have also guided and inspired generations of future generations.
They are the heroes of the wizard community!"
"In order to express our respect and care for these heroes, we hope to award them medals. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the Sir Merlin Order."
"The great wizards have written epic and tragic stories, but these stories, like the film in a camera, may become out of focus, blurred, collapsed, cracked, and forgotten by people after a few years.
We also hope that these medals can become luminous coordinates, fixing distant stories in the galaxy, and passing them on to future generations forever..."
Dumbledore's words were so affecting that the audience in the audience applauded several times and interrupted his speech.
After the speech ended, Dumbledore began to loudly announce the names and deeds of this year's winners. Every time a name was read, the wizards present cheered enthusiastically.
The first person to go up to receive the award was Mace Gobert for his heroic act of rescuing a Muggle child from a vampire.
Next up was Bette Dwyf, who was honored for improving the treatment of dragon pox.
They are all third-level medals, which are also the easiest medals to obtain.
Lockhart received this medal in recognition of his introduction of defense methods in his autobiography.
The deeds Lockhart wrote were all plagiarized from others, so there is nothing wrong with his method, which is why others believe him.
Soon, it was the turn of the second-level medal to be promulgated. The first wizard to go up was Miranda Gorshak. When she heard her name, it also caused a lot of excitement.
After all, Miranda Gorshak is the author of the Hogwarts textbook "Standard Spells"... Many people thought she had died long ago, but they didn't expect she was still alive!
Next, four or five more wizards came up, but it was not Rove's turn yet. He sat calmly on the chair and waited quietly.
Shirley clenched her fists with both hands and looked solemn. She looked even more nervous than Rove, the upcoming recipient of the award.
Luo Fe wanted to laugh, but he suppressed it. He deliberately kept a straight face and whispered: "Shirley, I'm so nervous."
The girl with the ponytail became even more nervous when she heard this, but she still encouraged Luo Fu: "You can take a deep breath and exhale slowly."
Luofu did it again, and said with a 'sorrowful' face: "No, I'm even more nervous... I don't want to go up, I'm going to have autism."
Shirley took her hand off the table, quietly held the boy's hand, and comforted her softly: "Don't be nervous... Just receive a medal and don't look at the wizards in the audience."
Luofu's fingertips slid across the ponytailed girl's hand, which was as white as a lotus root, and said in a joking but gentle tone: "Don't be nervous anymore."
Shirley looked at the boy's cunning eyes, and then felt his restless little hands. She didn't realize that she was being deceived, so she wanted to pull her hand back.
But Luofu had already squeezed her hand tightly, clasping their fingers together, and smiled: "Are you still nervous?"
The girl with the ponytail was stunned for a moment, then gradually raised the corners of her mouth, shook her head and said, "I'm not nervous anymore."
"Mr. Rolf Scamander...he exposed the conspiracy of the Death Eater Peter Pettigrew and helped clear Sirius Black, who had been wronged for twelve years."
Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded.
"After Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison, Scamander captured and killed him with his own hands, maintaining the security of the magical world..."
After Rolf heard his name, he gently let go of Shirley's hand, looked at Newt and Tina, and smiled: "I'm going up."
After finishing speaking, the young man walked straight towards the award podium.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Fu, and people were whispering around.
There has long been no suspense about Rolf receiving the Order of Merlin...at least the British wizards think so.
Of course, after the trial of Peter Pettigrew last year, there were many calls for Rove to be given the Order of Merlin.
However, at that time, there were still many conservative wizards who felt that he was only twelve years old, too young... and should not be awarded so early.
But after Peter escaped from prison, people were in panic for several months. Even the Aurors were unable to catch him. Such a dangerous person finally died in the hands of Rove.
No matter how picky the wizard is, he can't find any reason to object.
Everyone's idea is to give him the damn Order of Merlin... and it must be a first-class Order of Merlin!
However, many foreign wizards did not know about this and were a little surprised to see the winner so young.
The Order of Merlin is composed of an elegant gold medal and a ribbon. The green ribbon is the first level, the purple ribbon is the second level, and the white ribbon is the third level.
It is said that the green ribbon on the first-class medal is a tribute to Merlin's Hogwarts Slytherin house.
At least this is what the Little Snakes advertise every year in their welcome speech. I don’t know if it’s false propaganda.
Fudge took the medal with the green ribbon, walked to Luo Fu, and said with a smile:
"On behalf of the British Ministry of Magic, I confer upon Sir Rolf Scamander Merlin, First Class."
"Thank you, Mr. Minister." Rove tilted his head and asked Fudge to hang the medal on him.
Everyone clapped and some were whistling.
After Fudge hung up the medal, he whispered: "There will be a surprise for you next."
Rolf raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask something else, but Fudge had already walked to a table to take off a medal.
He had no choice but to walk quickly towards the audience. Dumbledore, who was not far away, raised the corners of his mouth and continued to read loudly:
"The next winner is... Mr. Rolf Scamander."
They heard this name just a minute ago, and when they heard it again now, many wizards thought they heard it wrong.
Even Rolf thought that Dumbledore had mispronounced it, so he continued walking down without stopping.
Dumbledore looked at the guests and announced loudly:
"Mr. Scamander successfully prevented a terrorist attack in July this year, saving the lives of nearly a hundred wizards on a floating dragon ship from a group of dark wizards.
For this reason, the Order of Merlin has decided to award Mr. Scamander the Order of Merlin, First Class."
Rolf suddenly stopped and looked at Dumbledore in shock.
The wizards in the entire stadium seemed to have heard the unbelievable words, and they all froze in their respective positions.
