The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

The conditions are not bad, but too good—Xie Lin is not a stupid kid who doesn’t understand anything. He doesn’t know that there is no such good thing as a pie in the sky (he has forgotten that being able to be born again is in a sense I won the jackpot), but at the moment I am a little hesitant.

　　 Klopatra seemed to see Schelling’s hesitation, and took the initiative to ask: "My sister can see that you are upset because the conditions are too generous, right?"

　　 Schelling nodded.

Kropatra smiled gently and said: "You don't need to be like this. Your potential is not just that attracted our attention. To tell you the truth, the Defense Against the Dark Arts League and the International Wizarding Federation have all noticed you— —"

She paused and then continued: "It's just that the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance definitely has no ability to offer conditions that can compete with us, and the International Wizards Federation has a very high reputation and rarely recruits underage wizards to join it. It is Deng. Blido himself was invited to join them five years after graduating from Hogwarts. Here I must remind you that once you accept our terms, it is equivalent to becoming our endorsement and sharing the honor and disgrace with us— —This also means that you have lost the opportunity to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts League and the International Wizarding Federation in the future..."

　　 So that was the case. Now Xie Lin understood that it turned out that several organizations were robbing people.

　　 On the face of it, the United Nations’ equivalent of the Muggle World’s "International Wizarding Federation" is more powerful and more internationally recognized. However, as Kropatra said, they did not extend an olive branch to Schelling, but chose to wait and see Schelling's performance in adulthood.

(Note: It is okay to be an ordinary member of these organizations at the same time, but after becoming an endorsement, this is the question of choice facing Schelling. Of course, Schelling can still choose to join each organization and become an ordinary member , But there are not so many benefits)

　　 There is a Muggle proverb: "Two birds are in the forest, it is better to have one bird in your hand." What's more, Xie Lin can't wait for his adulthood when the troubled times are approaching. Soon, he made a decision in his heart.

　　 "Sister Gulana, thank you for your patient explanation. I have decided, and I accept your terms!"

　　 In the afternoon, after receiving the "Wizard Scholar Contribution Award" and the prize of five thousand gold gallons at a grand awards ceremony where reporters gathered, Schelling returned to Hogwarts through the Floo network that evening.

　　 At breakfast the next morning, when Xie Lin appeared in the auditorium, all kinds of whispers suddenly appeared in the auditorium. Xie Lin noticed that many people were holding various newspapers or magazines in their hands.

When Schelling walked to the Slytherin table and took his seat, Draco ran over excitedly and said, "It's amazing! Schelling, do you know that many newspapers across Europe are reporting on you today? Not small, even other magazines mentioned your name more or less!" After speaking, he handed Schelling a copy of the Daily Prophet.

It seems that even if the "Daily Prophet" is still under the control of the Ministry of Magic, it still needs to follow the reports of other countries' media. Otherwise, the achievement of a British wizard will not be reported by the main media in his own country. Instead, the foreign media will report nothing. Going on.

　　 Xie Lin took a look at the newspaper. The cover was a photo of himself receiving the "Wizard Scholar Contribution Award" on stage. In the photo, he was energetic and heroic, smiling and waving to the readers. The content of the cover focuses on reporting the reason why I went to the Medieval European Wizards’ Federation to receive the award this time—for making outstanding contributions to the improvement of the patron saint spell.

"Schelling Malfoy, Special Medal of Sir Merlin, Youth Representative of the Medieval European Wizards Federation, "Transfiguration Today" Most Potential Newcomer Award, received the "Wizard Scholar Contribution Award" in Sardinia yesterday, for the British wizards According to our reporter Rita Skeeter, Mr. Malfoy was born in the noble and ancient Malfoy family. He came to the fore after he enrolled in Hogwarts three years ago. Favored by many professors, many articles have been published in major academic journals..."

　　 Wow, they are all good things as expected.

　　 Xie Lin opened the cover and continued to turn back.

Subsequent pages are mixed with some small pieces of reports and introductions about several of his famous deeds, such as the killing of a basilisk in the secret room incident and saving a little girl; such as wise eyes to know people, investment in Elleby and Barbara. The profit of the Dermo Broom Company; such as Merlin’s test competition champion and the special badge of Sir Merlin...

"In addition to having a good background and excellent academic results, Mr. Malfoy has also demonstrated fearless courage and extraordinary sense of justice in the past few years. According to our reporter Rita Skeeter, he has He broke into the secret room of Slytherin alone and rescued an innocent little girl trapped in it. In his later book "Me and the Basilisk at Hogwarts", we can see the original secret room The monster is a five-star dangerous basilisk. This shows how thrilling the whole process is..."

　　 "Mr. Malfoy is also a business prodigy. It is reported that his investment in Elreby and Bardmore Broom Company has recovered more than six times the return within one year..."

　　 "In the same year, Mr. Malfoy defeated three sixth-grade students and two fourth-grade students, passed Merlin's test, and received a special medal of honour from the Merlins..."

Of course, there is no mention in the entire newspaper about the dementors attacking the stadium out of control and they are against hundreds of dementors. This is probably the instruction of the Ministry of Magic—the Ministry will never tell the public. Acknowledge the fact that dementors can get out of control.

In addition, the fact that he slapped Harry twice in the face was not mentioned—in Harry’s reputation, this should have been a good topic, at least Schelling knew that Rita Skeeter would be interested; The reason why I didn’t mention it was probably Dumbledore’s operation behind him. He also wanted Harry to maintain his savior’s aura, and at this stage, Dumbledore’s relationship with the Ministry of Magic is still in the honeymoon period, and the Ministry will not. Do things that damage the reputation of the savior Harry.

　　 (Note: In the original book, Dumbledore suppressed the unfavorable rumors of Harry, such as speaking snake language)

　　 Schelling was not stunned by these fame. From Professor Lockhart's body, one could see what would happen to a person who was tired of fame and indulged in fame.

　　 However, he is very satisfied with the effects of these reports, and knowing that he has the power of public opinion as his backing from now on is the most important thing.

In fact, the benefits he gained yesterday were far more than what was reported in the newspapers-in the space of his suitcase, there was a silvery rune egg and a bottle of gleaming gold lying quietly. In the words of Croppatra, these two things are her personal gifts, and they are regarded as a meeting ceremony to welcome Schelling to join the big family. As for why I chose to give these two as gifts, of course, it was because the other party had asked Xie Lin if he had anything special.

　　 Rune snake eggs are obtained! The blessing agent is obtained!

　　 Daphne came to the auditorium and walked to the side of Schelling to sit down and whispered: "Is there any time to come to my house this summer vacation? Dad wants to see you."

　　 Wow, see your parents so soon? Schelling couldn't help but think of this weird idea. Of course, he also knows that he has made such a big momentum to show his own potential and value. It is normal for the Greengrass family to want to see him and renegotiate the cooperative relationship between the two sides.

　　 Xie Lin agreed, "No problem, please reply to your father for me. I will definitely come here this summer vacation."

　　 This breakfast was very hard for Schelling. The endless stream of little wizards all took turns to congratulate Schelling. As a result, Schelling spent almost the entire breakfast time doing social entertainment. Fortunately, it's the Easter holiday, and Schelling doesn't need to rush to class, otherwise he will probably be late or not even finish breakfast.

　　 After breakfast, a senior student sent a message for Dumbledore and asked Schelling to his office.

　　 In Dumbledore’s office, besides Dumbledore, there were two other guests sitting in chairs drinking tea.

One of them is Schelling’s acquaintance, Tiberus McLagen, who went hunting dwarf pigs with him during the summer vacation, and the other is a short, gray-white hair with a square chin and The middle-aged witch with a pair of monocles looks very smart and capable.

　　Tibelus greeted Schelling happily. Dumbledore slowly said, "I will introduce you to you. This is a third-grade student at Hogwarts, Sherin Malfoy. This lady is Ms. Amelia Burns-Law Enforcement Department. Director, member of Wissengarmo; As for Mr. McLagen, I think you all already know each other, so there is no need for me to introduce more."

　　 Schelling bowed to the two elders and greeted them politely.

　　Tibelus waved his hand indifferently, saying that this was not needed between the two, as if Schelling and he were old friends who had known each other for a long time, but in fact this was the second time they met.

Amelia’s serious face showed a gentle smile, "Mr. Malfoy, I heard my niece say about you—by the way, you may know her. She is Susan Bones, the same as you. By the end of the year, it’s Hufflepuff. She didn’t say anything wrong, you really are young and promising, a talented person."

　　 (Here, the author uses the names of the two in the narration. After all, their nephews and nieces are studying at Hogwarts. If you use the surnames to worry about the plot behind it)

Dumbledore interrupted the conversation among several people, "Schelling, I brought you here today because Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic all believe that your achievements today deserve more recognition. So, Magic The Ministry sent someone specially to negotiate this matter—"

　　 Schelling sneered secretly in his heart, is this to win people's hearts? What did you do earlier? Both Tom Riddle and Harry and Ron in the original book won a "Special Contribution Award to the School" after solving the secret room incident, but there is nothing here in Schelling. Had it not been for Schelling to write the matter into a book, it is estimated that this matter would not have spread from Hogwarts.

　　 Of course, Schelling just thinks about it in his heart, these thoughts will not show on his face.

Dumbledore went on to say: "Hogwarts has decided to give you a'Special Contribution Award to the School' in recognition of the honor you have won for Hogwarts. And the Ministry of Magic—" He said, he cast his eyes on Amelia.

Amelia said: "Mr. Malfoy, the Ministry of Magic has already communicated a lot with Sir Merlin for your business. The Jazz has also agreed to award you a more formal Merlin Class III Medal; in addition, Magic The Ministry also agrees to reward you as a representative of Wiesengamao youth, which is equivalent to an alternate seat in the Wiesengamao organization. When the voting process is undecided, the alternate opinions will also be taken into consideration. You can become a full member after a vacancy appears in the Wiesengama seat (for example, a member dies or is deprived of a seat)."

(Note: The Wissengamore Youth Representative is not invented by the author ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Dumbledore used to be. The number of Wissengamore members is 50, and there may indeed be a 25 to 25 voting situation, here the author set it up without authorization. A settlement method considering the opinions of the alternate seats has been determined)

　　 Schelling looked at Dumbledore’s face and answered cautiously: "Ms. Bones, I have a question for you."

Ignoring Dumbledore’s face, Amelia replied kindly: "Don’t be so distracted, you are Susan’s classmate. Just call me Aunt Leia, and I will ask Susan to invite you to my house if you have a chance. ."

　　 Now, Xie Lin slowly tasted the taste.

　　 Schelling still couldn't see any expression on Dumbledore's face, his wise eyes still gleaming behind his half-moon lens.

　　 But Schelling is not Harry's stupid boy, he has always understood the complicated relationship between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.

Facing the Ministry of Magic with power, status, and honor, it is a lie to say that he is not tempted, but Schelling is still a student in name. He has to stay at Hogwarts for a few years, and he can’t ignore Dumbu. Lido's view.

In addition, Schelling is not a ruthless person by nature. He cannot give up his feelings for ambition like Percy did. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flivy treat him well, so he has to take these two professors into consideration. the opinion of.

"Aunt Leah, I am very grateful for the Ministry of Magic's kindness to me. However, I have never heard that there is a precedent for the official medal of Sir Merlin to be awarded to minor wizards. I am only 13 years old. Such a grand honor is for me. Will it be a bit earlier? As for Wissengamer, I have indeed heard about youth representatives and alternate seats, but I don’t know much about the law and procedures of wizards. If any jokes are made because of this, I’m worried about the media. It's not pretty..."
