Chapter 173 Professor McGonagall takes action!

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking.

The entire auditorium fell into a brief silence.

Professor McGonagall was not surprised either. She had a smile on her face and waited for the young wizards to digest the news.

A moment later, a cheer came from the Slytherin table.

Then, the cheers seemed to light the fuse of gunpowder.

The whole auditorium was in an uproar.

Even the little wizard who was not from Slytherin was very excited at this moment.

This is the honor that belongs to all the young wizards in Hogwarts.

There was too much information for them to digest in Professor McGonagall's words.

Erwin's thesis, Transfiguration Guild, Order of Merlin, Second Class.

And, interview!

An interview with the Daily Prophet.

Everyone in the wizarding world knows that those who can be interviewed by the Daily Prophet are truly big shots.

These little wizards had a simple idea. If Elwin succeeded, they would also have face in the outside world. They were Elwin’s classmates, and many of them were taught by Elwin himself.

This is the glory.

Erwin was also smiling at this time.

Elvin doesn't care about other things. What really matters to him is the fame brought by the news.

However, Erwin was a little confused about this medal of the Order of Merlin.

Just relying on this, it seems a little bit not enough to get the medal of the Order of Merlin, or the second-level medal at that.

Although, the value of this medal is extremely low.

As far as Alvin knew, there was a talented person from the Black family who obtained a second-level medal by donating money.

However, if there is no special transaction, it is still difficult to obtain this medal.

Therefore, Erwin was somewhat curious as to how this Order of Merlin Medal passed the review of the Order of Merlin.

Irwin didn't give any money.

Just then, Erwin seemed to have thought of something.

Look at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall had a smile on her face.

Alvin had a guess in his mind that Professor McGonagall must have made a lot of efforts to get him the second-level medal.

However, Erwin would have to wait until later to ask his godfather about the specific situation.

The little wizards in the auditorium made a lot of noise for half an hour before they went back to take a nap one after another under the order of Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall didn't come to communicate with Erwin, and Erwin was happy with that.

After all, there are some things he hasn't understood yet.

Inside Snape's office.

Erwin was sitting at the desk waiting for Snape to return.

Our Bat Professor seems to be a little busy these past two days. Sometimes when Erwin comes over at night, Snape is not there.

There was only the gurgling sound of potion simmering in the cauldron.

Erwin didn't have to wait too long.

Snape returned to his office.

After seeing Erwin, I wasn't surprised at all.

Ignored Erwin.

But come to the crucible.

He glanced at the potion in the cauldron.

Then, he took down a crystal bottle from the shelf nearby.

Drip two drops of juice into the crucible.

Then, two bubbles popped out of the potion in the crucible.

Snape put the lid on and let it simmer on low heat.

I have to say, Snape's actions always reminded Erwin of stewed pig's trotters.

Can't say they're similar, just say they're the same.

Snape sat at the table and said, "For the Second Class Medal?"

Erwin nodded: "Well, although the gold content of the Order of Merlin's medal is extremely low now, this second-level medal does not seem to be so easy to give to me!"

Snape said, "It was Professor McGonagall. She was one of the judges for the Order of Merlin. She gave you this second-class medal against all odds! In her opinion, your thesis is a revolution in Transfiguration!"

Alvin understood, it was indeed Professor McGonagall.

But, Professor McGonagall is actually the judge of the Knights of Merlin?

Erwin asked, "Professor McGonagall is the judge for the Order of Merlin? What does that mean?"

Snape said, "During the holidays, you will go to the location of the Order of Merlin to receive honors. It doesn't matter if I tell you in advance. Do you know the origin of the Order of Merlin?"

Erwin thought for a moment and said, "I've read some books. It says that the Knights of Merlin were founded by Merlin. It should have been called the Merlin Knights at first. Later, as time went by, more and more people joined the group and the name was changed to the Knights of Merlin!"

Snape nodded: "After King Arthur's last battle, Merlin, under the alias Amyreth, defeated Morgana. After that battle, all the Knights of the Round Table were killed or wounded! Although Morgana was defeated, many wizards still played a crucial role in that battle! King Arthur could not directly destroy the magic world, so he asked Merlin to solve the magic world, or to restrain the magic world! And, Merlin was given the qualification to be knighted! The Order of Merlin came into being, and Merlin hid in the magic world with these wizards. Later, after the passage of time and Merlin's disappearance, the Order of Merlin became an organization similar to the Church in the Muggle world. They will register all wizards who have contributed to the wizarding world, award medals, and look for the best among them to set up a selection committee for the Order of Merlin. Professor McGonagall is a leader in contemporary transfiguration, so he is naturally among them!"

Erwin pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, Godfather, are you in there too?"

Snape nodded: "Yes, I am among them too! I am also one of the judges!"

Alvin understood that now the so-called Order of Merlin was like the Chamber of Commerce in the Muggle world.

We recruit talents and those who are strong in each different category will become the judges.

Snape said: "This time, your medal has nothing to do with me! Because your contribution is in Transfiguration, not Potions, so I just voted in favor!"

Erwin nodded: "That's enough, thank you Godfather!"

Snape shook his head. "Don't thank me. I wanted to vote against it at first! Because it would be very dangerous for you to show off your talents so early! But after tomorrow, you can't hide any more! Although the medal of the Order of Merlin is of low value now, it can still be considered a talisman! At least many people don't dare to attack you openly. They still have to consider the reputation of the Order of Merlin!"

Erwin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! Those who can really deal with me will not ignore me just because I don't have the Order of Merlin. To them, the Order of Merlin has no binding force at all!"

Snape nodded. "I'm glad you understand this. Do you have any other questions?"

Erwin shook his head. "No more, Godfather!"

Snape looked at Erwin.

"In that case, then Erwin tell me what's going on with Quirrell!"
