Your Acceptance of the Order Would Be an Honor for the Entire Order of Merlin

The tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic is the floor where the Wizengamot Trials took place.

The High Court of the Wizengamot and various departments usually conduct criminal trials of wizards who commit crimes here.

The Courtroom Ten, in particular, has a long history and has witnessed countless killings and bloodshed.

Especially after the Wizarding Wars, the Ministry of Magic launched Great Qing of the Death Eaters here, themed "brutal struggle and merciless crackdown".

However, a few years later, many wizards said that the place was haunted... It was said that the haunted place was a more terrifying existence than ghosts, capable of killing wizards.

In the middle of the night, some people heard a woman's mournful sobs, as if she were crying out, "Tragedy! Tragedy! Tragedy!"

The Auror investigated several times but couldn't find anything wrong, and the place gradually fell into disuse.

Unless a monstrous black wizard has committed heinous crimes, this room is rarely used.

Therefore, Fudge moved the trial to this location, the implication of which is self-evident:

He wanted to use swift and decisive measures to sentence Granger to life imprisonment, as a warning to the Stark.

Fudge sat in his chair, closed his eyes, and pondered the upcoming trial.

Fudge didn't want to be so ruthless, but that's political maneuvering.

Who told William to spout nonsense at the Wizarding Convention and then reinstate Dumbledore as president?

What's most unbearable is that Fudge's offer to recruit him was rejected by this kid without any mercy!

I was furious! What gives you the right to be so arrogant?!

Besides having good grades, owning an Akali Shop, making millions of Galleon in betting on football, and saving several cities... what else do you have? What else do you have?!

This is outrageous!

That day, back in his office, Fudge grew angrier and angrier. He picked up Boucher's painting on the wall... but couldn't bring himself to smash it; it was too expensive!

I wanted to kick the bookshelf in half, but then I pulled my leg back. The wood was rosewood, too hard!

Fudge looked around, opened the door and went to the assistant's office. Under Percy's horrified gaze, he smashed things wildly, venting his nameless anger.

Once I felt calmer, I felt much more comfortable.

But that doesn't solve the fundamental problem... And as luck would have it, Umbridge arrived.

She sobbed and said she had been attacked by Granger, that Mudblood.

Umbridge, rubbing his backside which had been aching for days from banging against the wooden door, added fuel to the fire:

"This isn't spanking me, it's slapping your face!"

Fudge slapped his forehead. A crime delivered right to his doorstep—if he didn't make good use of it, what kind of human being wouldn't he?

I'll just go home and raise Tebo!

Thus, a judgment order was issued.

In order to win the lawsuit, he also resorted to underhanded tactics, such as changing the time and place at the last minute.

If Granger misses the deadline, he could be charged with contempt of court, a serious offense, making his punishment even more severe.

Sometimes, we can also use some unexpected little tricks.

Fudge thought to himself smugly.

Just then, a creaking sound came from the gate.

Has Percy already summoned Scrimgeour?

Fudge opened his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and looked calm and confident.

The real show is about to begin.

But then... his expression froze.

The Wizengamot officials, hearing the door open, all looked towards the entrance.

Among this group were many who were older than Dumbledore, some who were the same age as him, and some who were his students when he was young.

These wizards had all seen Dumbledore in his youth, and how talented and charming he was.

Not only do many witches still admire him, but many more wizards also yearn for him and hold him in the highest esteem.

Therefore, many years later, another genius boy emerged, whose talent was no less than Dumbledore's, or even stronger... Everyone wanted to see what kind of brilliance he possessed.

But what happened next was absolutely shocking:

A distinguished young wizard entered, and a brown-haired girl linked arms with him; the two walked side by side.

They seemed to be attending a fashion show rather than a trial.

Of course, his looks are outstanding... but everyone's attention was drawn to something on William's robe:

Order of Merlin, Medal of Valor of France, Venice Doge's Medal, Italy Order of Magic, Austria Order of the Double-Headed Eagle... In total, there are six badges.

It almost covered half of her chest.

Hermione was the same, but she had one less Order of Merlin William.

Those Winky medals were practically blinding.

The exact dates when the two received their medals have been reported.

Strangely, many people also noticed that each of them was wearing a Spain Order, Third Class.

When was this obtained?!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, William took Hermione's hand, ignoring the horrified officials, and walked to the chair in the center of the room.

The chair's armrests were covered with chains, one on the left and one on the right. Suddenly, the chains sprang up, trying to bind Hermione.

William raised his right hand, and the two iron chains fell limply to the ground.

No one noticed this; everyone was still excitedly discussing the eleven medals.

These medals may seem numerous, but they are not commonplace items.

Who dares say the Order of Merlin is commonplace?

As for the other medals, those are the highest honors in their respective countries.

William and Hermione are not wizards from other countries, yet they both obtained it at a young age.

Most of them are the highest-ranking medals... This is terrifying!

In terms of honors and achievements, it can be said to be unprecedented and incredibly impressive.

Fudge snorted heavily, his face extremely gloomy.

He walked up to Percy and immediately questioned him, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to let me know later?"

Is this kid perhaps a double agent for the Order of the Phoenix?

Percy also felt wronged and said:

"Minister, when I went to see Mr. Scrimgeour, Will Stark was with him, chatting with him."

Fudge's pupils contracted.

The implications here are quite complex.

Was William seeking Scrimgeour's help, or was he acting on Dumbledore?

He thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards Scrimgeour, giving the order:

"Tell them to put their medals away. This is not a place for them to flaunt their achievements; it is a solemn and dignified courtroom!"

Scrimgeour cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Mr. Stark, the Secretary requests that you and the defendant put away the medals."

William stood up from his chair and looked up. There was a large crowd, but the courtroom fell silent.

William looked around, then said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Hmm... I don't understand, has our Ministry of Magic degenerated to this state, sir?"

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Scrimgeour asked, puzzled.

"You fought for the peace of this Wizarding World, even risking your life, and only then did you receive this medal..." William shook his head.

"Yet they have the right to wear it in any place? Has the Ministry of Magic already denied this honor?"

"Oh, of course not!" Scrimgeour said, glancing at William's collar.

"Six awards... four First Class medals, one Second Class medal, and one Third Class medal... We remember them all."

He asked in confusion, "However, we know the origins of the other medals, but the Spain Order, Third Class..."

Where did you two get this from?

William said calmly:

Two years ago, during summer vacation, we uncovered a Werewolf Island near the France border and rescued many children who had not yet been harmed.

Many of them are from Spain.

William glanced at Fudge and smiled slightly, "It was an application made for us by the French Ministry of Magic... a trivial matter, so it wasn't reported."

Fudge felt like he was going to vomit blood; he thought to himself:

It's not worth mentioning, why would you wear it?

However, he suppressed his discomfort and quickly interjected, "As a wizard who has received many honors, you should know that this is a place of law and order."

Even if you wear so many medals, it has nothing to do with this case!

The jury will not show any favoritism towards Granger because of this!

"I know the law," William said loudly. "It is based on the Wizengamot Constitution."

I also know that Hermione Granger will be protected by these laws.

He said in a resounding voice:

"I have more faith in the law, which is why, even though I am weak, I stood up for those wizards and Muggle when they were in danger."

I,

It's all to uphold these laws!

William looked at the jury and said in a loud voice:

"At least, that's what I thought at the time. If not, I really don't know what I've been fighting for!"

The jury officials clapped enthusiastically, and one of the witches suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Fudge roared.

"We would like to congratulate Mr. Stark and Miss Granger on receiving the Austria Order of the Double-Headed Eagle in July."

Also, Mr. Stark did not accept the Order of Merlin, First Class, but it will always be yours if you wish!

This is an honor bestowed upon the Order of Merlin, and no one can take it away from them!

The witch said excitedly.

Fudge was furious, but thunderous applause erupted in the dungeon.

William and Hermione stood up, bowed, and smiled.
