Chapter 62: Dumbledore Announces(EDITED)

Throughout the entire lunchtime, Draco Malfoy was plotting with his two followers about how to file a complaint.

How to convince the Ministry of Magic to investigate Kyle.

How to provide evidence for them.

Just as lunch was about to end, the castle doors suddenly swung open.

Dumbledore walked in wearing his robes.

Behind him was Kyle.

Most of the Slytherins looked fearful when they saw Kyle.

Only Malfoy's eyes still held hatred.

Scanning the Slytherin table, he noticed Cassandra was absent.

Kyle went straight to the Gryffindor table and sat beside the little girl, Hermione.

The Gryffindors didn't react much to having a Slytherin sitting at their table.

After all, the enemy of their enemy is their friend.

Several people even greeted Kyle.

"Kyle, where were you this morning? I've been looking for you everywhere," Hermione came up with a worried expression.

"Oh, I had some things to attend to this morning. What's wrong?" Kyle replied.

"Listen, the school might be expelling you. The situation is urgent..." Hermione's words left Kyle stunned.

Wait a minute...

The school is preparing to expel him?

Expel the youngest member in the history of the Order of Merlin.

And also a recipient of a second-level Order of Merlin?

"Are you worried about me?" Kyle remained composed, even leaning his chin on his hand and looking at Hermione.

Well.

He may be young!

But he still had great potential for future development!

Note, here we're talking about age.

"Kyle, it's not the time for this. Look at what's happening!" Hermione's face turned red in an instant.

"I was just about to gather some classmates to write a joint letter to Professor Dumbledore."

"So, you do care about me?"

"Alright, don't worry, the school won't expel me!"

Kyle didn't know where the rumours originated from.

But upon hearing them, it seemed ridiculous!

...

Just as he was speaking, Dumbledore arrived at the staff table and tapped the cup in front of him.

With the magic amplifying his voice, it immediately drowned out the noise in the hall.

"Alright, children, while lunch is still ongoing, I have some good news to announce here!"

"Just now, I was entrusted by the Order of Merlin to take Kyle to the Ministry of Magic for an honors ceremony."

"Kyle has invented a new type of life potion, which marks a milestone improvement for magical potions!"

"By the commission of the Order of Merlin, Kyle is awarded the second-level Order of Merlin!"

"He is also the youngest member of the Order of Merlin since its establishment."

"And he has brought honour to our Hogwarts as well."

"So, I will add fifty points to Slytherin!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the Great Hall erupted like a bomb had gone off.

"The Order of Merlin, and a second-level Order at that, is this true?"

"Merlin's beard, a second-level Order!"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

The Order of Merlin medal is the highest honour in the wizarding world.

Ordinary wizards dare not even dream of receiving a third-level medal, which would be something to boast about for a lifetime.

It's an honour to be written into the family tree.

Not to mention a second-level medal.

And Kyle is only eleven years old this year, just a few days into his first year?

The youngest member of the Order of Merlin in history undoubtedly shocked people more than just receiving a second-level medal.

All eyes were on Kyle sitting at the Gryffindor table.

It felt somewhat unreal.

We're all the same age.

We started school together.

How come he's receiving the highest honor in the magical world directly?

...

"Ron, is this Order of Merlin really prestigious?" Harry Potter had barely been at Hogwarts for less than a week since receiving his acceptance letter.

He wasn't sure about the significance of this honour.

But seeing everyone around him looking excited and shocked, he couldn't help but ask Ron.

"Oh, definitely! It's the highest honour in the wizarding world!"

"Do you know Dumbledore? He's a recipient of the Order of Merlin!"

Ron's tone was filled with envy.

Even to the point of jealousy.

There were too many children in the Weasley family.

There were all sorts of excellent older brothers!

And a cute little sister below.

Ron had always been overlooked at home.

This led him to always desire to stand out.

At this moment, if he could replace Kyle and receive the attention of everyone, he would be willing to pay any price.

This would be too glorious.

"Kyle is really amazing!" Harry Potter also looked admiringly and enviously.

He felt like his "savior" status was completely undeserved.

Compared to Kyle, he had nothing worthy of praise.
