After an authentic French dinner, it was time to leave.
"See you at the awarding ceremony." Newt Scamander and Tina both waved to Vincent.
Rolf was awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class, and the entire Scamander Family decided to attend.
Newt Scamander's brother Theseus Scamander was a ruthless man who dared to defy the orders of the Minister for Magic at the time and join thousands of wizards in the Muggle World War I.
Not only was he not punished afterward, but he was even treated like a hero and became the director of the Auror Office.
Unfortunately, Newt Scamander always finds ways to trick him, which has led to the Ministry of Magic always giving Newt Scamander special "attention".
Unless something truly terrible has happened, he generally won't step in to help his younger brother.
After the bright red flames subsided, Vincent returned to 139 Oxford Street.
Only the lights were still on on the second floor, and Dumbledore hadn't come over.
He took out his key, opened the door, and as soon as he turned on the light, he saw Gu Gu's big face.
After not seeing it for an afternoon, it seemed to have gotten a little rounder.
"Ugh—Mom and Dad ruined my plans!"
"Gu Gu ~"
Vincent grabbed it and started rubbing it, saying, "If you keep getting this fat, Hedwig will break up with you."
"Gu Gu!"
"Of course I know, Harry told me."
Gu Gu's eyes became extremely sharp, as if it had spotted a lively little field mouse on the roadside.
"Don't even think about revenge." Vincent glanced at the clock on the wall, changed his shoes, picked it up, turned off the light, and went upstairs.
July 15th.
Vincent was woken up by his parents early in the morning.
"Hurry up and put it on, we should leave after breakfast."
He lifted the clothes covering their heads and found that the two men's outfits were increasingly outrageous.
Eric was wearing a high-end bespoke black suit from Savile Row in London, and his hair was styled neatly, pointing straight to the left, with all the stubble on his chin gone.
Evelyn wore a black dress that was clearly expensive, and her long, meticulously styled hair was all piled up behind her head, giving her an air of elegance and poise.
Vincent looked down at the clothes in his hand.
The white shirt was paired with a black suit, also from Savile Row.
He felt that this look was familiar.

"Mom, please don't wear a pearl necklace!"
Evelyn slapped him on the forehead. "Can't I wear diamonds?"
Vincent looked miserable. "It's best not to wear anything at all, and to change your clothes to a different color."
"Change it to what?" Eric glared at him. "White? Gray? Or something else flashy?"
"Then let's make some changes."
A few minutes later, the Wayne left the third floor satisfied.
The clothes are largely unchanged, but some details have been modified to resemble court attire.
Vincent gave himself a perfect score for this wave of Renaissance.
"Gu Gu!"
"Okay."
With a light tap of the Alder Wand, the little dress that Gu Gu was wearing underwent a subtle change, and a monocle appeared on the right of her big eyes.
The Wayne family had the fastest breakfast today.
For such an important occasion, a suitable vehicle is naturally essential.
The classic large grille, chrome-plated wipers, and a sleek yet powerful appearance;
Compact size, aerodynamically designed rearview mirror;
The 15-inch multi-spoke wheels look very stylish.
The car's rear end has a rounded and smooth design;
The interior features a combination of genuine leather and solid wood, with the instrument panel positioned in the center as a finishing touch.
This silver Aston Martin DB5 exudes an understated and elegant aura at all times.
Vincent held Gu Gu in his arms and sat on the cramped back seat that had been added.
"Dad, are you sure this old car costs 20,000 pounds?"
The moment he sat down, the entire car noticeably lowered in height.
"This is an Aston Martin!" Eric, in the driver's seat, turned the key. "James Bond's car!"
The moment the car starts, the roar of the 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine bursts forth.
"A combination of elegance and performance, this quality alone is something that other brands cannot imitate."
It has a maximum output of 284 horsepower, a maximum torque of 390 Nm, and a top speed of 233 km/h.
With just a light touch on the accelerator, a surge of power instantly emerges.
Vincent stumbled and nearly bumped into the back of the chair.
Gu Gu wasn't so lucky.
Its big face smashed right in, and it cursed in owl language for a full two minutes in pain.
"Dad, Gu Gu says this is a broken car."
"It's a problem with the back seat. I'll adjust it another day."
"It also said it would rather fly there than stay in this broken car."
Eric rolled down the car window. "Take care."
"Gu Gu!"
Two more minutes passed, Vincent was too lazy to translate this time.
Gu Gu's words were nice, but it wasn't very willing to fly even ten meters.
As the most honored owl at Hogwarts, it should stay in the back seat and enjoy the most prestigious treatment.
If it were just the car and the driver, sitting here would be quite enjoyable.
East London is close to the port.
The streets here are narrow, and it is a relatively remote industrial area.
It was also the venue for this year's Order of Merlin of Honours ceremony.
Eric drove the car to an abandoned warehouse and finally stopped next to a gray sedan.
"Have we arrived?" He pinned the badge to his chest with some uncertainty.
Vincent unbuckled his seatbelt. "Here's a very powerful Muggle-Repelling Charm."
"Mom and Dad, just come with me."
He got out of the car carrying Gu Gu and led his parents into the warehouse.
The place was dilapidated and didn't look like an award ceremony venue at all.
Evelyn squinted at Eric, clearly questioning whether the driver had come to the wrong place.
"I didn't—" He swallowed his words.
Because after turning into the small room, what appeared before us was an extremely lively and magnificent hall.
The primary color scheme of green, purple, and white symbolizes the three ranks of the Order of Merlin;
The luxurious decor is reminiscent of the Buckingham Palace.
This is indeed the venue for the medal awarding ceremony.
The space, which appeared to be at least the size of a football field, was filled with carved tables and chairs. The wizards nearby were dressed in very different styles, and many of them were clearly from abroad.
"Mr. Wayne, this way please." A waiter in a tuxedo approached Vincent.
"Thanks."
Led by him, the Wayne family arrived at the first row below the platform.
Before he left, he took one last, deep look at Gu Gu.
Evelyn picked up Gu Gu from Vincent's arms. "Don't you wizards dress up your magical creatures?"
"I don't know either." Vincent looked around and spotted the Weasley family were the most conspicuous.
Each winner may bring two family members.
Besides their parents, Percy and a girl were also present.
"Hey, man!" George spotted him too.
"George, keep your voice down!"
"Okay, Mom."
Arthur looked in the direction of Wayne's house. "Molly, Vincent and the others have arrived."
Her large hand, which was about to slap George's forehead, suddenly stopped, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.
Fred behind him immediately made a funny face.
Vincent suppressed a laugh and walked over with his parents.
