Allen wore the medal and stood next to Professor Dumbledore, allowing the photographer to take pictures.
After everyone wore the medal around their necks, the awardees and the winners stood in a row. Allen noticed that Lunn showed the camera a handsome smile that he had practiced for a long time. Allen could not help but show a gentle smile, making the audience feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
After the award ceremony, Professor Dumbledore patted Allen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Congratulations, my child. You've become the youngest holder of the Level 3 Merlin Medal in history."
"Thank you, Professor. It was a coincidence. My efforts were insignificant. It's all thanks to my family." Allen thanked him politely and humbly.
"You're too modest, Allen. Mr. Harris, I heard from Professor Fleevy that you're the first young wizard to get full marks in all the Hogwarts exams. You have a bright future ahead of you! " Scarman walked over with a smile. His words were full of admiration for Allen.
Professor Fleevy happened to walk to Allen's side and wanted to congratulate his favorite student. When he heard Ogway's words, he was not displeased that his words were leaked. Instead, he nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Allen is the most talented and hardworking student I've ever seen." His face was full of pride.
"Ah! Chairman Ogway, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Fleevy, hello! I'm very sorry. Can I do an exclusive interview with our little hero? "The sharp and exaggerated tone was disgusting.
Allen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a pair of jewel-studded glasses. Her blonde hair was exquisitely curled, and her teeth were bared in a smile that she thought was very charming. She spread her fingers and waved them at Allen.
"This is the chief reporter of the Daily Prophet — Rita? Miss Skeeter, Allen, Miss Skeeter used to be a member of Ravenclaw. She's very talented in publicity, "Professor Fleevy said to Allen in a high-pitched voice.
"Thank you, Professor Fleevy. You still remember me." Rita? Skeeter laughed exaggeratedly, but Allen saw tears in the corner of her eyes. Everyone has a soft spot in their heart, even if that person is a bad guy in the eyes of others, Allen thought.
Even so, when did Allen see Rita? When Miss Skeeter pulled out a dark green quill from her alligator pouch, she was instantly on guard.
Her quill was no ordinary quill. It was a "shorthand quill" that could automatically record the ordinary sentences in Skeeter's interview into unrealistic, extravagant sentences on paper.
"Allen, please allow me to call you that. After all, we are both from Ravenclaw Academy." Rita? Skeeter adjusted her jewel-studded glasses. "What was your first thought when you saw the sea serpent?"
"What was that?" Allen answered casually.
"What?" Rita? Skeeter was a little puzzled. What was Allen asking?
"What was that?" Allen answered again.
"What was that? What are you talking about? "Miss Skeeter's thick fingers tightened around the quill, puzzled.
"When I saw the sea serpent, my first thought was' What was that? '" Allen organized his words and explained in detail.
"Weren't you afraid when you saw such a big sea serpent? Why did you rush up to fight it? Weren't you overestimating yourself a little? "Miss Skeeter asked several questions in a row.
"In fact, I didn't rush up immediately. First, I sent my owl to bring a message to the Ministry of Magic. Then, I rushed up to fight with my father. With my family by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. "
Allen was satisfied to see that Skeeter's quill had honestly recorded all the conversation just now. Not long after Miss Skeeter took out the magical shorthand quill, Allen had already silently cast a truth-telling spell. It was an obscure spell recorded in the Encyclopedia of Magic Spells. The inventor was inspired by the truth-telling serum and invented this spell. It could not only be used on people, but also on items. Perhaps the inventor kept it to himself, and very few people knew about it.
Rita? After asking two questions, Miss Skeeter finally discovered the abnormality of her shorthand quill. She was not in the mood to interview Allen again and hurriedly ended the interview.
"Miss Skeeter has never ended an interview so quickly!" Professor Fleevy obviously knew Rita very well. Skeeter knew this very well and looked strangely at Miss Skeeter, who had left without even saying goodbye. He had originally intended to warn Miss Rita Skeeter not to write nonsense, but it seemed that there was no need for that!
"Maybe she found more valuable news, or something urgent." Allen looked innocent.
"Chairman Ogilvy, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Fleevy, I wonder if you can join us for lunch?" Mr. Harris walked over and warmly invited Chairman Ogilvy, Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Fleevy to lunch.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Harris. Today, Professor Fleevy and I also invited Gidro Hartley. Mr. Lockhart, he might be able to become Alan's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher next year. "Professor Dumbledore winked at Alan.
"Is it that Sir Merlin Legion's third-level medal recipient, honorary member of the Anti-Black Magic Alliance, and five-time winner of the Wizard Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award? Is it Hartley? "
Mrs. Harris suddenly appeared behind Allen, and her trembling voice startled Allen. After all, wearing the Medal of Honor just now did not make Mrs. Harris excited, and just hearing Gidro Hartley's name was enough. Just the mention of Lockhart's name made it hard for her to maintain her poise!
Daisy was also blushing and looking forward to it!
Allen felt that as a writer, Gidro Hartley was too successful. Lockhart was simply too successful. He had made himself into a superstar in the magic world. From middle-aged women to underage lolis, everyone was fascinated by him!
Of course, a large part of this was due to his outstanding casting of the Amnesia Curse. Perhaps this was also the reason why he could deceive Professor Dumbledore and successfully be hired as a Defense Against Black Magic teacher.
"Yes, Gidro Hartley. Based on his outstanding literary works, Mr. Hartley was awarded the third-level medal of the Sir Merlin Legion. As for whether he is as strong as his reputation suggests, and is qualified to teach Defense Against Black Magic, we will know in a while. Merlin, please bless us. I hope that you can find us a qualified professor. "
Professor Dumbledore's prayer obviously did not work. Allen was well aware of this. However, he had to remain silent. Otherwise, how could he explain his knowledge of Gidro Hartley? Hartley was a big liar who stole other people's experiences for his own use!
