This news soon spread throughout the wizarding world. The Daily Prophet, Wizards Magazine and other newspapers also reported on the matter one after another.
Some reporters even made a special trip to Hogwarts to interview Dumbledore. When they learned that this game was thought up by a child less than ten years old, the entire wizarding world was shocked! Weston was also the first
For the first time, he came into the public eye.
There is no airtight wall in the world, especially in the magical world. Weston's life experience was quickly revealed - a poor child wandering in Diagon Alley, the last Obscurial at the end of the twentieth century...
....
People were shocked by Weston's tragic experience, especially some caring wizards, who burst into tears. They said that if possible, they would like to do something for Weston.
So, without Weston's knowledge, one donation after another flew to Hogwarts through owls, and finally landed on Weston's teacher Snape.
On hand.
"Crash-" "Crash..."
A dirty gray bag was thrown on the table, and Weston behind the table was stunned.
"What is this, teacher?" Weston asked curiously.
"Someone gave you a donation!" Snape curled his lips and said with some disdain.
"Donate? Me?" Weston was stunned. This man is a good person, why donate to him?
"Humph, it's just boring love!" Snape left this sentence, and then walked out of the Room of Requirement.
"Touch", the door closed. Weston stared at the bag blankly for a while, then stretched out his hand and opened the bag...
......50,51,52......201,201......
A total of one thousand, four hundred and forty-three Galleons and nine Sicols and Fifteen Nats, which is a huge sum of money for an adult family, not to mention, for a child...
This money is hard to get! Although Weston is a little tempted, he knows better that this money is not easy to get. If he keeps it like this, many people will look down on him. The most important thing is that in his heart
I can't get over it, I always feel awkward.
But what to do with the money? Weston was a little troubled, but soon came up with an idea...
"What's the matter, Weston?" Dumbledore asked strangely, looking at Weston carrying a dirty bag.
Weston didn't say anything. He waved his little hand and the bag floated directly and landed on Dumbledore's table. With a "crash", the coins rolled out along the untied mouth of the bag.
"Are you going to bribe your headmaster, Mr. Delacour?" Dumbledore naturally knew where the money came from and made a little joke with a smile.
"Tch!" Weston rolled his eyes, this old and crooked man.
"Children, don't be like this, learn to be more cute!" Dumbledore continued to tease Weston, "Would you like some cockroaches? Very good sweets, Honeydukes' new candies!"
As Dumbledore spoke, he took out a jar. After unscrewing it, cockroach-like candies crawled out one after another, and soon they were scurrying back and forth on the table, giving Weston goosebumps.
Everyone is up.
"No, take that thing away!" Weston said viciously while rubbing his arms fiercely. He really couldn't appreciate Dumbledore's taste!
"Well, you missed a delicious dish!" Dumbledore shook his head with regret, and with a wave of his wand, the "cockroaches" returned to the jar.
Seeing Dumbledore put it away, Weston took a long breath and relaxed.
"Okay, you can tell me why you're here!" Dumbledore sat up straight, indicating that he was all ears.
Weston pondered for a while, and after combing through his thoughts, he slowly said: "Professor, do you know how you got this money?"
Dumbledore glanced at Weston, slightly surprised, but still explained the source of the money.
Weston breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not one person's money after all, otherwise he would really have to consider the other person's purpose!
However, this money still cannot be kept!
Weston thought for a moment and said decisively: "Professor, I can't take this money!"
"Oh? Why?" Dumbledore asked strangely, "This is everyone's recognition of you, why not?"
"No, this is not recognition, but sympathy!" Weston retorted, "and it is sympathy after I have a certain value!"
Dumbledore took a deep look at Weston: "Child, you shouldn't think like that!"
"When you have no value, why should people sympathize with you? Sympathy after you have a certain value, first of all, recognizes your value!"
Weston was stunned, this is so true!
Dumbledore saw this scene, smiled slightly, and nodded unconsciously: "Accept their kindness, Weston! You deserve it!"
Even though he said that, Weston still felt that the money should not be kept.
No, tell me that idea quickly, otherwise the money will be too hot! As soon as Weston thought of this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, teach, you are right! However, I have a better idea that I want you to
Give me some advice!”
"Oh, tell me!" Dumbledore was a little curious. He was always interested in some of Weston's whimsical ideas.
"I want to donate this money!" Weston said. After seeing Dumbledore showing a hint of disappointment, he quickly continued, "Donate it to the Knights of Merlin. Based on this money, slowly
Make profits slowly, and then give some bonuses to those who come after you!”
"What should I say?" Dumbledore was indeed interested.
Seeing Dumbledore like this, Weston became convinced and spoke out his inner thoughts.
In fact, Weston's ideas were changed based on the Nobel Prize.
In the magical world, the Order of Merlin is actually similar to the Nobel Prize. It is only awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the magical world. There are three levels, with level one being the highest and level three being the lowest.
However, although similar to the Nobel Prize, it also has its own "organizing committee", but there is actually no bonus for the award of the Order of Merlin medal. To put it bluntly, it is just to show your face, and there is no money.
!
This is why Remus Lupine is so poor. He is a first-class medal recipient of the Order of Merlin, but he wears patched robes.
This is equivalent to a Nobel Prize winner going out to beg for food. I have to say that this is an extremely ironic thing.
Of course, Lupin's case is not an exception. Although some people will say that he is still a werewolf after all, but in addition to Lupin, there are many recipients of the Order of Merlin who cannot afford to eat. Therefore, there are always people in the magic world.
Say, what about the Order of Merlin medal? It can’t be eaten as food!
After Dumbledore understood Weston's idea in detail, he was excited and moved. This was a major event that could change the magical world!
Thinking of this, Dumbledore told Weston to go back first, and then left the principal's office with a snap of his fingers...
