Chapter 112 Sir Merlin Level 2 Medal
The second academic year was coming to an end in the midst of the busyness of Hephis.
After countless attempts, he finally succeeded in subduing the basilisk through a blood contract.
But he still didn't dare to swallow the basilisk's shadow easily.
Because the basilisk's shadow was so tough, he was afraid that his body would explode if he swallowed it.
So I plan to give the basilisk more good food to cultivate their relationship so as to reduce the burden on the shadow.
During this period, Snape's attitude also underwent a subtle change.
Ever since he learned that Hephes could absorb knowledge through shadows, he was too lazy to keep Hephes in confinement.
He would call Hefeth to his office from time to time, and after cutting the shadows, he would let Hefeth go.
It's just that Hephis wanted to avoid prying into Snape's privacy.
Those memories were like troublemakers, always creeping into his mind.
So that period of time when Snape was young.
The grudges and disputes between him and the four robbers gradually became clear in Hephis' mind.
As for the story between Snape and Lily Evans, Hefeth could only express regret.
To be honest, this is not Lily's problem.
Lily's kindness and deep prejudice against dark magic led to many misunderstandings and conflicts between her and Snape.
The two parted ways because of this.
All I can say is that the two of them were not meant to be together.
Hephis became even more determined to find himself a master's wife.
Fulla is very good.
Before the end of the semester, Snape took Hephesus to the Ministry of Magic.
Hephis went to receive a Knight Merlin, Second Class Medal.
Minister Fudge presented it to him personally, and the purple one looks pretty good.
Of course, the process of receiving the award was not smooth sailing.
There were many jealous wizards gathered in the audience.
"Thief!"
"Shameful thief!"
"He should be put in Azkaban!"
"Rubbish Ministry of Magic!"
"Fudge eats shit!"
They started to criticize Hephis and the Ministry of Magic.
Although Minister Fudge tried to raise his voice, he simply couldn't control the situation.
In the end, it was Hephis who took the initiative to stand up and glanced at the crowd of people who were making trouble.
"I'll stand here and give you a chance." Hephis's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible in the hall.
"You can ask me anything about potions. As long as I can't answer, this badge..."
He took off the Merlin Second Class Medal that he had just put on and held it in his hand. "I will withdraw from this."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
The reporters were pressing the shutter buttons frantically, flashes of light were flashing one after another, and the venue was filled with smoke for a while.
A female reporter wearing fox-shaped glasses and having a big chin was particularly eye-catching.
An automatic shorthand quill was floating beside her, frantically writing something on a notebook.
Those wizards who were causing trouble obviously didn't expect Hephes to do this.
For a moment, no one dared to stand up and ask questions.
"What a bunch of cowards! How come you can only hide in the corner and gossip? Don't you even have the courage to stand up?" Hephis' voice was full of disdain and ridicule.
A sharp voice suddenly sounded from the back of the crowd: "Don't be so arrogant, you are just a thief."
Hephis's senses were always in a released state, and as soon as the voice came, he had already locked onto the man.
He waved his wand lightly, and a skinny man in tattered robes flew up.
The skinny man's eyes were full of fear. He struggled and shouted, "You can't hurt me. This... this is the Ministry of Magic!"
"Of course I won't hurt you, but since you have doubts, let everyone see it more clearly." Hephis said slowly.
He waved his wand again, and the man was controlled to fly to the place closest to the podium and land steadily.
"Deloto?" Someone in the audience recognized the man and immediately there was a whisper.
"It was Delotto, the despicable thief."
Of course Hefeth heard it, "It's Mr. Delotto, what questions do you have for me?"
"I...I didn't..."
Under the pressure of Hephes' powerful aura, Delotto stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Mr. Minister, since this gentleman has no problem, he is slandering me personally without reason."
Hephis looked at Fudge who was already stunned, "I wonder if the Ministry of Magic will accept my accusation?"
Minister Fudge finally came to his senses and spoke quickly.
"Slander, yes, it is slander! Auror, come quickly and take this troublemaker away!"
Several Aurors jumped out from the crowd. Deloto wanted to run, but his body was fixed in place and couldn't move.
The Aurors easily captured him and escorted him away.
"Excuse me, does anyone have any questions?" Hephis looked at the group of people who had been shouting the loudest just now with a smile.
"Don't worry, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The Ministry of Magic won't arrest anyone randomly."
The hall fell silent again, with only the sound of reporters clicking their shutter buttons.
After waiting for about ten more minutes, no one dared to come forward.
Minister Fudge finally regained his composure and began his speech again, chattering on and on.
With so many people present, Hephis couldn't leave first, otherwise he would have run away long ago.
The award ceremony finally ended successfully.
But there was a small episode afterwards.
Hephis had contacted Fulla long in advance.
This allowed Fulla to block Snape again.
Of course Hephis would not be that light bulb.
After saying a few ambiguous words to Snape, he ran away.
Snape drew his wand and tried to Apparate away.
But Fulla is not a vegetarian either.
She was prepared and pulled a small anti-Apparition limiter from her pocket.
Snape's Apparition failed instantly.
Then Fulla hugged Snape's arms tightly, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.
The next morning, when Hephis was having breakfast, he saw Snape with a gloomy face.
Snape's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were staring at Hephes, spewing fire.
Hephis lowered his head and quickly picked at the food on the plate.
As usual, The Daily Prophet was delivered to Hogwarts by owl on time.
In today's newspaper, Hefeth occupies the most eye-catching front page, and he is praised all over.
Of course, in some inconspicuous corners, there were brief comments on yesterday's turmoil, and they were all positive.
As for Rita Skeeter, her article never appeared in the newspaper.
Although The Daily Prophet is the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic, pure-blood families own more than 95% of the shares.
Therefore, both Skeeter's article and other negative comments about Hefeth were erased.
Skeeter's article was sent to his dormitory last night.
As for Skeeter, she was sent to the African savannah, where she will disappear for at least three months.
Do you really think Hephes has no temper?
