"Mr. Delacour, do you have any suggestions for this place?"...
"Mr. Delacour, I think we can discuss this"...
"Mr. Delacour..."
In the principal's room, Weston was surrounded by several old men. You and I were noisy with each other until his head got big!
It's all Dumbledore's fault! Weston gave him a resentful look.
Dumbledore might also be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly greeted him: "Don't be so anxious now, we still have time, just talk slowly!"
Is this what I mean? Weston's eyes widened. He underestimated Dumbledore's shamelessness.
Child labor has no human rights! Weston muttered as he found a seat and sat down. God knows how he got here in the past half hour, and his ears are still buzzing.
The others heard Dumbledore's words, looked at each other, and felt a little embarrassed, and quickly found a seat to sit down, but they still subconsciously moved closer to Weston.
Dumbledore clicked on the table, and then pointed in front of everyone, and cups of hot black tea appeared. It was a good treat for the weather that was about to enter winter.
The black tea came, and this time I was really not in a hurry. They all started to taste the tea slowly. It was completely different from what I had just done.
"Weston, please tell me what you think!" Dumbledore first put down the black tea cup and said.
Weston also knew that he couldn't escape today's encounter, so he nodded helplessly and spoke...
These old men are none other than the current senior leaders of the Knights of Merlin, and they are also the "Nobel Prize Organizing Committee" in the magical world. They are still called the Knights of Merlin.
The purpose of their coming is very simple, for Weston's idea. After all, if this idea is realized, it will be a good thing for the entire magic world, and the influence of the Knights of Merlin will be greatly expanded.
In this life, people always want to pursue something, especially if they reach a certain height, it is either fame or fortune! It is the same for wizards!
Just like what Dumbledore and Harry Potter said in the original book: "I am most afraid that one day, they will not let me get the chocolate frog card."
Whether it was the revolutionary movement "for the greater good" with Grindelwald in his youth, or his later calculations, Dumbledore was actually pursuing fame throughout his life, and the same was true for other members of the Knights of Merlin.
But there are not many opportunities to leave a name in history! Now, the opportunity has come, so the Knights of Merlin are going crazy!
The group stayed at Hogwarts for three full days. Apart from sleeping, they spent the rest of the time in the principal's office discussing the "Merlin Prize". As the proposer, Weston's opinions and suggestions were especially important to them.
The first reference object!
Three days later, the members left one after another. Before the last one left, he said to Weston: "If you are willing, I would like to have one more disciple!"
Weston shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I have a teacher!"
"Who? Albus?"
"No, it's Mr. Snape, the Potions Master!"
"Well, lucky guy!" the member muttered, then left with jealousy and resignation.
"It's finally over!" Weston wiped the sweat from his forehead and slumped in his chair.
Seeing Weston's laziness, Dumbledore chuckled and said, "Are you so tired?"
"What do you think?" Weston couldn't help but rolled his eyes cutely, "I don't know why you have so many problems, I'm still a child!"
"Okay, kid!" Dumbledore looked at him with a smile, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, "But I want to congratulate you, you are going to be famous!"
Okay! Weston rubbed his eyebrows. This is what he fears most! Being famous means more troubles. This is definitely not a beautiful thing for Weston's character!
"What's there to be happy about?! It's too much trouble!" Weston responded without hesitation, and then began to complain, "Professor, didn't I agree that I would leave this matter directly to you, but I didn't expect that you didn't care at all.
Reliable, he betrayed me directly! If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said anything! It would be great to just donate it!"
"You won't do this!" Dumbledore said firmly.
"I will!" Weston retorted decisively.
Dumbledore did not speak, but looked at him with a smile.
Weston looked at him firmly, but soon looked away.
Well, Dumbledore has seen through him, and he really doesn’t know how! His instinct in the workplace in his previous life made him subconsciously act in accordance with maximizing interests when thinking about something! This concept has been deeply rooted in his soul.
, is very difficult to change.
You're right, you're reasonable. If I can't offend me, why can't I hide? Weston snorted, jumped off the chair, gave Dumbledore a big eye roll, and walked out the door without looking back.
.
If possible, he never wanted to see Dumbledore's face again.
There is a person in the world named Murphy, who put forward a point of view-the less you want the results to happen, the more likely they are to happen.
Weston said, Damn right!
Before the next day, Weston saw Dumbledore again that night, and it was still in the principal's office. Why——
He won an award!
"Dear Mr. Weston Delacour:
We are honored to inform you that based on your proposal and setting of the 'Merlin Bonus', you have made outstanding contributions to the magical world. The Knights of Merlin will award you with the Level 2 Medal of the Knights of Merlin on Christmas Day.
The bonus is 300 gold galleons, hope you know!
Attachment: If you have other requirements, please write them on the back of the letter and send them back.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Lem Ambrosius, leader of the Knights of Merlin
Recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class, Vice Chairman of the Wizengamot"
What's going on? Weston looked at Dumbledore blankly.
"You have won the Second Class Medal of the Order of Merlin and the first Merlin Prize!" Dumbledore said simply and horrifiedly.
"Why?" Weston was still a little unbelievable, "I didn't do anything, and I don't have anyone to recommend me!"
"No, child, no one can deny your contribution, not even yourself!" Dumbledore retorted first, and then said with a smile, "As for recommenders, you don't have recommenders!"
"In fact, the entire Knights of Merlin recommended you! Including me!"
Well! Weston has no feelings about the Order of Merlin. He just knows one thing, that is, he is famous again!
Gold shines everywhere! Weston thought rather shamelessly...
