"Why is your Aunt Josephine in such a hurry?" Mr. Harris asked Allen, puzzled.
"Aunt Josephine is a shrewd and wise woman!" Allen praised Aunt Josephine without answering the question, which made Mr. Harris even more confused.
Albert bid farewell to Lunn and the members of the Contingency Reversal Team one by one and came to Allen's side.
"Where's Mom, Daisy, and Emily?" Albert was a little puzzled when he didn't see Mrs. Harris and the others.
"Mom and Daisy are worried about Emily's safety, so they went to look for Emily." Allen clearly knew the whereabouts of Mrs. Harris and Daisy. His excellent five senses allowed him to hear the conversation between Mrs. Harris and Daisy.
Mr. Harris immediately worried about his younger daughter's safety and suggested that they go look for Mrs. Harris and the others. This was immediately echoed by Allen and the others.
Mrs. Harris and Daisy were quickly found, but after searching the entire beach, they didn't see any trace of Emily. Everyone's face was filled with anxiety. Mrs. Harris was almost crying. "I shouldn't have left her alone. I told her to wait for me behind the reef!"
"Don't worry, Mom. We'll find Emily." Allen wasn't comforting Mrs. Harris. He had noticed something.
Allen walked straight to the ice cream truck on the beach. The car owner had already run away when the sea serpent appeared. After the members of the Contingency Reversal Team caught up with him and erased his memory, he was throwing rocks at the beach.
So, what was the sound coming from the ice cream truck? It couldn't be a mouse, right?
Allen opened the door and got in. Wasn't there a greedy little mouse hiding here? Emily was squatting in front of the strawberry-flavored ice cream bucket and eating with relish. She looked funny with a circle of cream around her mouth.
When Allen pulled Emily to Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Harris couldn't help but laugh. Everyone also laughed happily. Emily was really the family's little happy fruit.
After the battle with the Clown Sea Serpent, everyone felt tired and hungry. Mr. Harris waved his hand and decided to go to the small town next door to find some food and rest.
Strolling around the seaside town, Allen felt that the town was full of art and romance. Rows upon rows of short English-style houses were built against the mountain, stretching from the pier to the other end of the hillside. In the middle were scattered side streets and narrow alleys, with many personalized shops on both sides. The atmosphere in the alleys was not as lively as the one by the pier. On the contrary, it was quiet and very suitable for strolling.
After walking through many art galleries that hid a strong artistic atmosphere, Allen and the others found a restaurant near the sea. This restaurant was built with dark-colored wood, with low ceilings and dim yellow lights. Through the small wooden windows, one could see the scenery of the fishing port outside. It was very tasteful.
The bar sold a variety of fresh beers. Mr. Harris not only ordered the malt beer that men liked, but also ordered a lot of fruit-flavored sweet wines such as snow pear wine for Mrs. Harris and Daisy. Good wine accompanied by good food, and all kinds of seafood dishes were served on the table, such as fried fish, oysters, and mussels. They were well received by everyone.
After eating and drinking, Allen conveyed Aunt Josephine's greetings. When Allen said that under Aunt Josephine's suggestion, the Magical Creatures Management and Control Department would apply for the 'Sir Merlin Medal' for the family, all the family members except Emily were extremely excited.
"Really? You mean the Sir Merlin Medal that represents the highest honor in the magic world? " Lunn was pleasantly surprised. If he could get a Sir Merlin Medal, he would be willing to fight the Clown Sea Serpent every day. This honor would be an important piece of information for his future promotion.
"But we didn't make any special contributions. We just fought the Clown Sea Serpent, I don't think we can get such a high reward, right? "Daisy didn't think that what she had just done was amazing.
"We defeated the longest and most powerful Clown Sea Serpent in history." Allen explained Northmore's words to Daisy. The same argument was playing out in the Ministry of Magic.
"Have we ever had such a precedent? We have seen many disputes because magical creatures don't know how to hide their bodies, but isn't it too exaggerated to award the Wizard Merlin Medal of Honor because of this? " The person in charge of the Wizard Association asked this question after asking Aunt Josephine, Northmore, and Amos in detail.
"Of course there are examples." Aunt Josephine was well prepared and said slowly, "According to the records of the department, in 1932, a naughty Welsh Green Fire Dragon pounced on a crowded beach full of sunbathing Muggle. Fortunately, there was a family of Wizards on holiday there, and their brave actions prevented the Wounded King from happening. Afterwards, their whole family was awarded the title of a rank 1 Wizard in the Sir Merlin Legion. Although Mr. Harris' family only fought a three-star magical creature, the Clown Sea Serpent, this Clown Sea Serpent's length and ferocity far exceeded that of a normal Clown Sea Serpent. Thus, I think that at least a rank 3 medal should be awarded. "
Aunt Josephine's reasoning successfully moved the chairman of the Wizard Association. In the end, according to Aunt Josephine's suggestion, Mr. Harris' family was awarded the title of a rank 3 Wizard in the Sir Merlin Legion.
After the news was quickly passed to Allen's family via owl, Mr. Harris' family, who had been resting at home, was extremely excited. They eagerly waited for the award ceremony to begin. For this reason, Lunn practiced smiling in front of the mirror countless times. He requested himself to show a generous and appropriate smile during the award ceremony. Mrs. Harris brought Daisy and immediately went to Diagon Alley to customize fitting magic robes for the whole family. Mr. Harris carefully shaved his beard in front of the mirror. The calmest ones in the family were Allen and Emily. Allen was calm. Compared to the so-called glory, he cared more about increasing his strength. Emily, on the other hand, didn't understand what was going on that made the whole family so excited.
Soon, the day of the award of the rank 3 medal of the Sir Merlin Legion arrived. The whole family woke up very early. The mirror in the house became a hot commodity. Lunn and Daisy fought over the right to use the mirror, not giving in to each other. Even the usually steady Albert couldn't help but check his wizard robe again and again, trying his best to make it clean and tidy without wrinkles.
