Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Apparition?” Professor McGonagall paused.

“That's right, I know it's an elective subject for higher years, but I'd like to start learning it in advance. I know this kind of magic is very dangerous to practice, so I'd like to learn under the professor's supervision.”

Anduin didn't dare to learn it secretly by himself, it was better to take the opportunity to apply openly.

“I think that's fine.” Flitwick nodded, “Anduin is now a 'combat hero' certified by the Ministry of Magic, and it wouldn't be good if those Death Eaters targeted you. With Anduin's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to master.”

“That's true, then I have no objection.” Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and then agreed.

“Then I'll trouble Filius to guide Anduin next semester. I think as a combat hero, he should enjoy some special tutoring privileges.” Dumbledore chuckled.

While the few were chatting, a group of Aurors had already repaired the cratered venue.

Minister Badeno also stood on the platform in front of the venue.

“Everyone.” Minister Badeno cast a Sonorus charm on himself, and the huge sound attracted everyone's attention to the stage.

“Today, we are here to award Mr. Anduin Wilson, who bravely fought against Death Eaters and successfully arrested five of them, to encourage all wizards to be brave in the face of lawbreakers.”

“At the same time, this banquet is also to commemorate all the heroes who dedicated their lives and shed blood in the fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters.”

“And the Ministry of Magic will uphold its consistent and firm belief that we will never compromise with those Death Eaters who have committed countless crimes!”

Minister Badeno's impassioned speech was deafening, making the Aurors in the audience boil with enthusiasm, and the other wizards and reporters responded with warm applause.

“No compromise!” “No compromise!”

No one knew who started it, but the wizards, Aurors, and even reporters in the audience couldn't help but shout slogans, as if they were the nemesis of evil.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, some dissenting Wizengamot members and pure-blood family representatives had no choice but to applaud along with the crowd, murmuring slogans in their mouths.

Presumably, if Anduin had been the loser in the previous duel, or if the duel hadn't even taken place, Minister Badeno's speech wouldn't have been so tough.

And the reaction of everyone present might have been very different from the enthusiasm they were showing now.

Thinking of this, many pure-blood family representatives and members couldn't help but look at Anduin with resentment.

However, when they saw Anduin's snake-like cold gaze in return, they couldn't help but withdraw their gazes.

Damn it, why are we afraid of a little wizard?

“Thank you, everyone!” Minister Badeno was very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd, and his expression towards Anduin became more and more amiable.

“Next, please allow me to welcome our brave little hero, Anduin Wilson, who was not afraid in the face of five brutal Death Eaters, and captured them single-handedly. He is our well-deserved role model.”

After hearing Minister Badeno's words, the crowd in the audience couldn't help but shift their gazes to Anduin and gave him warm applause.

If it had been before today, these applause might have been hypocritical, but after witnessing Anduin's one-on-ten duel, these applause were extremely sincere.

Anduin nodded to the crowd with neither humility nor arrogance, and slowly walked onto the stage.

Minister Badeno looked at Anduin and nodded with a smile.

“Next, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I will award Mr. Anduin Wilson the Golden Medal of Valor and the 'Combat Hero' Medal of Honor.”

After saying that, Minister Badeno took the medal from Barty Crouch and pinned it on Anduin.

“Mr. Anduin Wilson, I hope that you will be able to stick to your original intention in the future and continue to contribute your strength to the fight against evil.” Minister Badeno said seriously.

“I will, Minister Badeno, I am irreconcilable with the forces of evil.” Anduin said solemnly.

Of course, I will do it in my own way, Anduin thought to himself.

Next, at Minister Badeno's invitation, Anduin also gave a pompous speech.

Anyway, it was just to praise the Ministry of Magic and Minister Badeno with rainbow farts.

This semi-showy celebration banquet ended here, but the effect was even better than Minister Badeno had expected.

“Anduin, the Aurors told you when you came, right? There will be a trial you have to attend later.”

Dumbledore grabbed a handful of sweets from the table and stuffed them into his mouth, while saying to Anduin.

“Yes, Vanessa mentioned it to me, do I need to be a witness?” Anduin wiped his greasy mouth and then let out a satisfied burp.

“Actually, no, today's trial is rather special, it's a retrial of a Death Eater. You were invited more because you are a hero.” Dumbledore chuckled.

“Headmaster, don't give me such a high hat, you know what this hero title represents, I'm just cooperating with Minister Badeno's actions.” Anduin said embarrassedly.

“After you defeated ten adult wizards in public, this is no longer a simple show.” Dumbledore grabbed a handful of sweets and stuffed them into his pocket, “I guess the headlines of major newspapers every day are your name, aren't you going to celebrate?”

“That's just a false name, real ability can't be reflected by newspapers. With that effort, I would rather read more books and do more experiments.” Anduin shook his head and said.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows after hearing Anduin's words, and then asked meaningfully.

“So, after reading the books and doing the experiments, what are you going to do then?”

“Training, tasting delicious food, and doing business.” Anduin replied instinctively.

“Doing business?” Dumbledore looked at Anduin with some surprise.

“Yes, I recently got a house in Diagon Alley. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave it unused?”

“Maybe I'll be counting on you to patronize me more in the future, Headmaster.”

Thinking of this, Anduin became energetic again and talked to Dumbledore about several products he was preparing to mass produce.

“Hahaha!” Dumbledore laughed from the bottom of his heart, “I will definitely take care of your business in the future, Mr. Wilson.”

While the two were chatting happily, Moody walked over, “Stop eating, the trial is about to begin, let's go!”

Dumbledore and Anduin nodded upon hearing this, and then followed Moody to the courtroom.

The Ministry of Magic's courtroom is located on the tenth floor underground, and cannot be reached by elevator, but can only be reached by walking down the stairs.
