Admiral of Hogwarts

215 End of semester

"Don't worry, I will try my best during the summer vacation to get Hagrid to give up using "The Monster Book of Monsters" as next year's textbook." When returning to the castle, Veneto said to Hugo through the Admiral's network.

"Let's not talk about the issue of destiny points. At least I definitely don't want a fluffy book that bites people everywhere as a textbook."

The banquet that night was extremely sumptuous. Obviously, this was to celebrate everyone's solving a thousand-year mystery in the castle and killing the basilisk.

At the banquet, everyone was in high spirits. The arrival of an old man wearing the unique robe of Sir Merlin pushed the atmosphere of the entire banquet to a climax.

This old man awarded the Merlin Order of Merlin to the company on behalf of the Order of Merlin. The reason for awarding this medal was that the company killed the thousand-year-old basilisk hidden in the school and saved all the students in the school.

"It feels like Sister Enterprise is a little too calm." Looking at the faint smile on Enterprise's face, Hermione approached Hugo and whispered.

"I think it may be because she has experienced many dangerous situations and walked between life and death, so she can control her emotions very well." Hugo shrugged.

He couldn't say that it was because the company had received so many medals before that he could even make a suit of armor for himself, so he was really not interested in this kind of medal.

After the dinner, Hugo was stopped by Professor Flitwick when he was about to return to his dormitory, and then he and Veneto went to the principal's office.

"Sit down -" Principal Dumbledore, who was sitting on a large chair, stretched out his hand to signal Hugo and the two of them to sit down, and then said, "I called you here today mainly to announce the reward for you."

"To be honest, what you did before is enough to get the Order of Merlin, Level 3. Unfortunately, our Minister of Magic thinks it is not appropriate to make the information related to Voldemort public now, so my application was not approved."

"Of course, this does not mean that you will receive nothing. In order to thank you for your contribution to the school, I will award you with the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award on behalf of the school."

"Thank you!" Hugo and Veneto leaned forward slightly and bowed at the same time. Although this school award is not as good as the Medal of Merlin, it is still the highest school award that students can get.

"By the way, Mr. Granger, I have a few questions that I need you to answer truthfully." After talking about the rewards, Dumbledore suddenly asked Hugo a question.

"Of course, please ask." After hearing what Principal Dumbledore said, Hugo immediately realized that this might be related to some of the things the principal asked him before, so he immediately showed a serious expression.

"Relax, relax." Dumbledore smiled and waved. "These are some very simple questions, so you don't need to be so nervous, just answer them truthfully."

In the next few minutes, Dumbledore began to ask Hugo about his questions about ancient runes, especially the techniques for using ancient runes to make various alchemical and enchanted items.

After learning that he had mastered the simple skills of making and enchanting magic weapons in just half a year, Principal Dumbledore showed a rather gratified smile on his face.

"If this is the case, then I recommend you to participate in the alchemy competition in the Japanese wizarding community this summer." Dumbledore said, "I hope you can achieve good results in the competition."

"But Professor, I remember that Alchemy can be taken as an elective in the sixth grade at Hogwarts. Students like me who have studied for half a year will definitely not be able to compare with those seventh grade students." After hearing what Dumbledore said, Hugo He blurted out his inner doubts.

"You are right, but the problem is that this competition has prerequisites." After hearing Hugo's question, Dumbledore showed a true expression, and then explained to him the reason why he should be chosen. .

"You mean, in the first month of the summer vacation, you will go to Japan to participate in the competition under the leadership of the corporate sister." On the train back to London early the next morning, Hermione's eyes widened after hearing what Hugo said. . Recommended reading//

"Yes, actually this is a very good opportunity." Hugo shrugged. "You know, the purpose of this competition is for the legacy of Nick LeMay."

"This is where I am confused. Although I admit that you do seem to be better than me in ancient magic text alchemy, you are probably not good enough to qualify for this type of international competition."

"I thought so at the time, but later I found out why I was chosen after hearing the rules of the competition from Professor Dumbledore." Hugo said after recalling what Dumbledore said at the time.

"Because in terms of qualifications for this competition, Nick Flamel himself requires that the participants should not study alchemy for more than one year."

"I think this may be because Mr. Flamel hopes to find a successor who can pass on his alchemy ability." At this time, Veneto, who was sitting next to him, said.

"So on the one hand, he requires that the contestants must be able to show sufficient talent in alchemy, and on the other hand, he requires the contestants not to receive too much education in this area, so that there is enough space to accept his inheritance."

"What you said does make sense." After hearing Veneto's conjecture, Hermione was silent for a few seconds and then nodded. "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't like to teach students at other people's paces."

After finishing the discussion about the summer vacation competition, several people played crackle and explosion cards in the carriage.

Obviously, ship girls do have an advantage over humans in this regard. Even if the Granger siblings join forces, they can win at most two or three games out of ten.

The Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

"When your brother is away from home for two weeks during the summer vacation, you can come and play with me." Veneto invited Hermione when they got off the car. "You know, the store my sister owns is very close to your home, and I usually spend my summer vacation there."

"Nick Flamel - this person actually exists!" After returning home, Hugo told his parents about the summer game, which naturally aroused the surprise of the Grangers.

After all, Nick Flamel has left his mark in the world of ordinary people. For the Grangers, it is a very special thing for their son to be connected with this legendary person.

"I guess my chances of winning the championship are not high." Hugo shook his head and said.

"The one with the highest claim to win the championship is the Beauxbatons team. There are six people in the opponent team, and they have done corresponding training before. Durmstrang is also good in this aspect, and Hogwarts -"

In fact, Dumbledore would not have sent anyone to participate in the competition if Hugo had not demonstrated his ability in this area while fighting Hannah Abbot, who was possessed by Voldemort.

After all, among the three most prestigious schools in Europe, although Hogwarts has many strengths, its level in alchemy is very average.

To give the simplest example, important alchemical research in the past hundred years was mainly contributed by students who graduated from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, and only Principal Dumbledore of Hogwarts barely saved the school in this regard. A little face.
