Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

Chapter 21 Nomination for the Order of Merlin

Dumbledore's words caused the entire audience to fall into a brief silence, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.

I would also like to thank our Minister Fudge for his outstanding leadership in cooperating with us in successfully transferring them to the Ministry of Magic, where they will receive a fair trial. "

"The first item - Mr. Ron Weasley, Mr. Harry Potter, and Miss Heather Finch. They helped Anakin stay safe. Sirius and Pettigrew were trapped in the same room. The fearless Courage and extraordinary courage. For this, I would also like to award 100 points to Gryffindor House and 50 points to Slytherin House.

The noise was deafening. Those who shouted hoarsely at the same time. If someone was standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might think that there was an explosion here.

"Secondly, I would like to commend Miss Hermione Granger. She conveyed the news to the professor in time and helped us successfully capture Peter Pettigrew. For this, I would like to award fifty points to Gryffindor House."

"Finally, Mr. Anakin Wilson has shown excellent organizational and reasoning skills, and it must be said that he has learned the binding spell in his first week at Hogwarts. For this, I would like to award Gryffindor House a One hundred and fifty.”

There was silence in the Great Hall, then the Gryffindor students cheered.

"In addition, I announce that Anakin Wilson will be nominated as a candidate for the Order of Merlin, Second Class, in recognition of his heroic performance and outstanding contributions during this incident. This nomination will be formally approved by the Wizengamot Council. It will take effect later.”

The audience burst into warm applause again, and Anakin felt his cheeks heat up slightly. He did not expect to receive such a high honor. You know, he saved the entire Paris from being burned and assisted Dumbledore in defeating Grindelwald. Newt Scamander only received a second-level medal. Gilderoy Lockhart also only received the Order of the Third Class.

When the applause died down, Dumbledore continued speaking. “While we celebrate these brave students, let us not forget that there are still many unanswered questions and dangers in the world we live in. There is much more behind this incident that we need to understand, and we must Work together to ensure peace and tranquility in the wizarding world. May this event remind us that courage, unity and justice will always defeat darkness and evil."

As Dumbledore's speech ended, the auditorium burst into the warmest applause and cheers, and people stood up to show respect for those brave students.

Then, a sumptuous dinner appeared on the long table in the hall, and the students enjoyed the rich food and laughter. Anakin sat at the Gryffindor table, being congratulated and praised by his classmates. He felt as if he was in a whole new world, and everything seemed so incredible.

After dinner, the students began to leave the large dining hall one after another, and Anakin hurriedly walked to Haisa.

"Haisha, lend me the invisibility cloak. I need it urgently."

"Are you going on a night trip again? But aren't you tired? After all, we just captured Pettigrew. By the way, what are you going to do this time?" Haisha was a little confused.

"I plan to visit the forbidden book area, learn some magic spells, and then explore the school. If you are interested, you can come along." Anakin replied.

Haisa thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you. Meet you at the door of the Gryffindor lounge at twelve o'clock tonight."

......

The twelve o'clock bell echoed in the deserted campus. Anakin gently pushed away the Fat Lady's portrait and climbed out of the hole. It was silent outside, except for the gentle breeze.

Standing in the silence of the night, he couldn't help but shudder, and then waited for a moment. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the air and gently pulled him, and then he was pulled into the cover of an invisibility cloak.

"Is that you, Haisa?" Anakin asked quietly. He couldn't see the other person and could only confirm it by voice.

"Yes, that's right." Haisa's voice was soft but firm.

As the night progressed, they walked across the campus and slowly approached the entrance to the restricted book area. The moonlight shone on them, making the outline of the invisibility cloak even more invisible.

Finally, they came to the entrance of the forbidden book area, a place full of mystery. Anakin took out a small magical lantern and lit it, emitting a soft golden glow that illuminated the path ahead of them. Under the lights, they carefully straddled the ropes that separated the books from the rest of the collection, then illuminated the books on the shelves.

Haisha took off her invisibility cloak. She was wearing a pair of soft pink pajamas with embroidered patterns and a faint fragrance. Her nightgown was trimmed with lace on the cuffs and legs, making it look both comfortable and elegant. The scarf-like shawl design on the neckline of her pajamas makes her look even cuter.

Anakin was wearing his usual school robe because he was planning to build an artifact in the future. They walked through the bookshelves together, holding lights and carefully searching for books that interested them.

"Anakin, what book are you looking for?" Haisa asked.

"I want to learn the Disillusionment Charm and Occlumency." Anakin answered.

In the quiet forbidden book area, they began to read books. However, Anakin and Haisa soon became uneasy about the books. They are filled with chilling black magic, vicious rituals and bizarre spells. Reading this makes them very uncomfortable. One of the books contained a spell to turn Muggles into monsters, and the other contained a horrific spell to torture enemies.

Haisa stopped suddenly, her face pale and her eyes flickering. "Anakin, these books are really scary. I'm afraid we're too deep into them to get out. Maybe we shouldn't waste our time on them."

After thinking for a moment, Anakin agreed to Haisa's proposal. He understood that these books might have a bad influence on them. However, he carefully wrapped a book in his hand in an invisibility cloak without saying a word and did not tell Haisa.

"But, Haisa," he responded, his voice slightly deeper, "sometimes it is necessary to understand the dark arts in order to better protect the people you care about. The dark arts should not be ignored. Although it is terrifying, it has its merits. "Where." Anakin replied seriously, "Besides, we can learn how to defend against it and understand its weaknesses. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."

Haisa stared at Anakin, her expression still worried. She sighed slightly, but finally nodded, seeming to understand his decision. "Well, Anakin, if you feel this is necessary, I will support you. But please be careful, no matter what happens, do not let the dark magic affect yourself. We can study together and make sure you understand it risks and limitations."

Anakin nodded solemnly and looked at her gratefully. "Thanks, Haisa. I'll be careful."
