Chapter 484 The World of Adults Is Not Easy

The Order of Merlin is an organization established by the most famous wizard in the Middle Ages, Merlin himself, to protect non-wizards.

They forbade wizards from using magic on Muggles, and agreed that each member of the regiment would protect Muggles.

The Order of Merlin's Medal is used to reward those who have made outstanding contributions to this.

This organization has mixed reputations in the history of wizards, although all wizards worship Merlin and are keen to talk about all the great achievements that Merlin has made in assisting the Muggle king to change history.

But this awesome wizard seems to be sitting a little crooked, at least everyone in the folks will say that in private, although it is not politically correct.

Later, with the large-scale persecution of the wizarding community by the non-wizard community, the Order of Merlin became a disgrace instead.

Later, with the development of a large-scale witch hunt, Sir Merlin disappeared completely.

No one knows how much this organization played in the subsequent reorganization of the "Ministry of Magic" by the "Wizard Council".

After all, the foundation of the "International Act of Wizarding Secrecy" overlaps too much with the purpose of the Merlin Order.

In particular, the reorganized Ministry of Magic has the right to actually issue and withdraw the Order of Merlin.

Wizard historians who are familiar with this part, some people may even propose a conspiracy theory-why is it called the "Ministry of Magic" instead of the "Magic Congress", and how much did the Muggle royal family participate in the "Secrecy Act"?

Of course, the question was not solved, the person who asked it was.

Merlin is still respected by people, and under the influence of some conspiracy theories, Merlin eventually evolved into a mantra that is often used to complain.

For example—Merlin's torn and moldy underwear.

Underneath, no one knows what kind of emotional undercurrent is raging under the tide.

Until a pair of powerful wizards appeared, oh, no, one of them betrayed, only Grindelwald turned over Merlin's underpants, and completely lifted the fig leaf of the "Secrecy Act", so that all wizards could see this detail A frightening scene.

Everyone knows what Grindelwald is doing, although now everyone has to say bad things about Grindelwald.

The most direct manifestation is that none of the saints who corresponded to Grindelwald was held accountable.

Yes, it's not like Voldemort's Death Eaters.

Today, old Batty, the director of the Department of International Affairs of the Ministry of Magic, has completely lost his qualification to compete for the Minister of Magic because his son is a Death Eater.

If his son was a saint, well, it wouldn't affect him at all.

This is the consensus of the general public in the wizarding world now.

The most intuitive manifestation is the Medal of Merlin Sir Order. The recipients of the medals issued today are no longer all wizards who have made outstanding contributions to protecting Muggles.

Instead, in the name of the Wizengamot, the Minister of Magic personally awarded it to wizards who have made outstanding contributions to the protection of the wizarding community.

The irony couldn't be more ironic, and it was aimed at those members of Sir Merlin's order.

For example, Damocles, who invented the wolfsbane potion to curb wolf's poison, won a second-class medal.

For example, Anthony Weasley, who proposed a perfect solution to the Wolfsbane problem, won a first-class medal.

None of this has anything to do with Muggles.

Now, Anton pushed the wheelchair and brought old Ronaldo to the Ministry of Magic, preparing to receive the second medal in his life-it is said that it is also a first-class medal.

Fudge once again called the top group of people in the wizarding world over.

Yes, at the meeting, he announced in a very high-profile manner - under his rule, the British Ministry of Magic has achieved unprecedented excellence, and claimed that his rule is now the safest place in the world.

Although many people know that Voldemort has been resurrected and is secretly accumulating strength, the first stop is definitely Britain.

Although everyone still knows that Grindelwald has escaped from prison, and although he doesn't know where he is now, the first stop is definitely the United Kingdom.

But at this time, no one wants to bring up such a spoiled topic.

Just let Fudge rant for a while.

At the same time, Anton finally knew where the old Ronaldo would go next-the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of Magic.

"Skip directly to the director?" Anton was obviously a little surprised, is it such a joke.

The old Ronaldo smiled and whispered, "If the official position is too small, it will not show the great achievements of the Minister's governance effectiveness."

Seeing that Anton's expression was still full of doubts, he couldn't help pointing it up again, "The director is actually nothing, the positions with real power underneath are the ones that Fudge can't get for me."

"Such as the Floo Network Authority, which controls the fireplaces in every home and every place. Such as the Broomstick Management and Control Bureau, which manages all broomstick companies. Such as the Portkey Office, all large gatherings They are all parties. Such as Phantom Apparatus testing centers, they feed teachers and sell tens of thousands of healing potions."

"Two bureau chiefs, two directors, this is the key to my future dealings."

"In this position, if you do well, you will have the power that even Scrimgeour will give way to. If you don't do well, you can throw any pot under your hands, and even after a few days, you can only apologize and resign."

Anton thought for a while, with a sincere face, "You should be very suitable for this position."

Old Ronaldo smiled and said nothing, just patted the back of Anton's hand that was on the handle of the wheelchair.

This old man in the officialdom is obviously different from Anton. He asked Anton to take the opportunity to go to Scrimgeour to show his loyalty, and handed over the right to push the wheelchair to the director of the Floo Network Administration, a middle-aged Greasy fat man.

They started talking with a friendly smile on their face, as if they met their own son who had been separated for many years.

Anton shrugged his shoulders, he didn't like to get involved in this kind of thing, so he just wandered around with a glass of wine.

He doesn't like politics. Listening to what old Ronaldo said, it's more of a kind of spectator who watched those short videos in his previous life analyzing how many metaphors there are in "It's a Minister" or "The Ming Dynasty 1566", and then called it awesome.

Have fun.

Keep yourself simple, and you can walk briskly.

Finally, he saw some familiar faces.

Lucius Malfoy, and Uncles Lupine and Arthur.

Anton ignored Lucius' eyes that were about to greet him, and walked towards Lupine and the others.

Lupine patted Anton's shoulder with some emotion, "Two Merlin First Class Medals."

His eyes are full of longing.

Anton chuckled, "I don't really care about this, if you like it, I'll give it to you."

Lupine quickly shook his hand, "Oh, don't."

At this moment, Arthur hugged Anton's shoulders affectionately, and quietly pointed to an old man in the distance, "Hey, uncle told you something interesting, did you see that man?"

"Lyle Lupine?" Anton raised his brows, "Of course I do. Uncle Lupine's father met him at Lupine's wedding."

(See Chapter 161 for details)

"Hey hey..."

Arthur blinked narrowly at Lupin, "Old Lupine is a top expert in black magic creatures, and he was specially hired by the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures."

"At the same time...hehe..."

"Remus is now the Director of the Werewolf Office."

(See Chapter 432 for details)

Anton glanced at Arthur in surprise, and Arthur looked at him with a smile.

"You mean that Lupine works with his father now?"

"Well, maybe you can take a closer look. For example, if Remus becomes the director, he will be your father's boss."

"show~"

So, the two looked at each other, turned their heads to look at Lupin, and smiled.

The shy Lupine seemed a little at a loss, his face flushed slightly, "Oh, Arthur, why are you telling the child this, I'm already embarrassed enough."

Anton knew that the old Lupine complained about werewolves being inferior, which caused the leader of the werewolves, Fenrir Greyback, to rush into their house and bite Lupine into a werewolf.

Lupine was shut up at home by his parents almost throughout his childhood, and he didn't dare to contact others. If Dumbledore hadn't personally persuaded him, Lupine might have been locked up at home for the rest of his life until he died of old age.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between father and son should be very complicated. When Voldemort fell and Lupine left the Order of the Phoenix, he did not choose to go home but wandered around. We can roughly guess some of the things involved.

You know, the Lupine family is also a big pure-blood family, and there are enough houses for Lupine to live in.

(To add, Lupine's mother was a Muggle.)

Lupine wanted to say something, he waved his arms for a moment, finally pursed his lips, and drank the wine in his hand vigorously, "Well, Arthur, you were right, I should take the initiative to find him Speaker."

As he said that, under the watchful eyes of Weasley, one big and one small, he walked towards Old Lupine with somewhat stiff steps.

Anton smacked his lips, "Actually, if Lupine doesn't get along well with his father, he can live a good life, right? He has worked hard enough in his life, I don't like to see him force himself like this .”

Arthur smiled slightly and toasted Anton, "Child, the world of adults is not easy."

He looked at the back of Lupin's forehead with some emotion, "Remus needs the help of the Lupine family if he wants to gain a foothold in the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures."

Anton looked at Arthur in surprise, he didn't expect you to be like Arthur!

Arthur looked at Lupine's back with a smile, "Of course, of course, I hope that he can have a warm family. This is obviously a good opportunity."

"Us adults shouldn't be talking to children like this, you know, no matter how complicated it is outside, we want our families to relax a little bit."

"It's just that you seem to have stepped in."

Anton thought for a while, glanced at Arthur, then at Lupine, and then at Lucius who was secretly looking at him from a distance, and smiled brightly, with a particularly sunny smile, and his eyes were full of purity.

"No, I can go out anytime."

For some reason, Anton became more and more determined about the path of magic in his heart.
