Rubik's Cube of Heavens - Chapter 81
As Snape took the lead in applauding, the other professors raised their hands at the same time and surrounded Coven with Dumbledore. At the same time, they also gave Coven applause.
Coven was also very happy at this time. After all, this was the first result he made after coming to this world.
With a big smile on his face, Coven looked at the professors in turn.
“Thank you! Thank you, professors! Thank you, Professor McGonagall, for your support for me as always!”
“Thank you, Professor Flitwick, for your hard teaching!”
“Thank you, Professor Sprout, for your tolerance and encouragement!”
“And Professor Snape.” Coven looked at the proud and cold Snape and said with a smile, “As a reward, can I learn the spell of the ‘Text Projection’ from you? And that bottle of Potion! Yes, I saw it. The bottle of Potion that you secretly hid. If I am not wrong, it should be the ‘Euphoria’*, right? Can I learn the configuration of Potion from you?”
[*TL Note: The Elixir to Induce Euphoria was a sunshine-yellow potion that induced a sense of inexplicable, irrational happiness upon the drinker.]
“Humph!” Snape responded.
Coven smiled even more and did not say anything more. Instead, he turned to look at Dumbledore.
Coven continued to thank Dumbledore, whose face was full of gratification. “Finally, I have to thank you, Headmaster. Thank you for trusting me and accompanying me to fool around!”
Dumbledore’s smile was even more blooming. He raised his hand and pushed up his glasses.
“As long as there are students asking for help, they will definitely get Hogwart’s help.”
“As long as there are students asking for help, they will definitely get Hogwart’s help.”
Dumbledore and Coven said this almost at the same time.
Such a scene made the professors stunned. Even Dumbledore was slightly stunned.
The next moment, the applause sounded again…
……
Tonight, Coven did not go to the must-have room at night, because he had gained too much today.
The first harvest was about his conjecture about ‘Dementors’.
At that time, everyone discussed it in Headmaster’s room and finally decided to let Coven fill in the thesis, and then Dumbledore would personally go to the Ministry of Magic to make public relations.
Professor Flitwick was particularly excited and constantly asked Dumbledore to fight for a medal of ‘Order of Merlin’* for Coven.
[*TL Note: The Order of Merlin (abbreviated O.M.) was an award bestowed upon wizards and witches who had achieved great things for the wizarding world. It had three different award levels: First Class, Second Class, and Third Class; There were three different classes of Order of Merlin that were awarded:
- First Class: Awarded for “acts of outstanding bravery or distinction” in magic. The color of the ribbon for this class was green, which was believed to represent Merlin’s Hogwarts house, Slytherin.
- Second Class: Awarded for “achievement or endeavor beyond the ordinary.” The color of the ribbon for this class was purple.
- Third Class: Awarded to individuals who “have made a contribution to our store of knowledge or entertainment.” The color of the ribbon for this class was white.]
Dumbledore did not refuse and smiled to indicate that he would try his best to fight for it.
The second harvest was that Snape accepted Coven’s request and would later teach him The Elixir to Induce Euphoria.
After chatting for a while, Dumbledore asked about Coven’s learning progress and if there was anything else he needed help with.
Coven naturally took the opportunity to talk about alchemy.
Dumbledore thought about it and finally made an agreement with Coven. The agreement would depend on Coven’s next performance.
According to Dumbledore, if he wanted to explore the essence of ‘Alchemy’, he had to first study the other two courses. One was ancient magic literature, and the other was Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration course.
Only by studying these two courses would Coven be qualified to explore the essence of ‘Magic Alchemy’.
Coven gladly accepted Dumbledore’s suggestion and agreed to the agreement. He said that he would definitely study these two courses well in the future.
Therefore, the harvest tonight was so abundant that Coven could not completely calm down after returning to the dormitory.
—–Or rather, it was Coven himself who did not want to calm down. He wanted to continue enjoying the mood of this harvest.
However, the only unfortunate thing was that there were no people around who could share this harvest with Coven. After all, his two roommates were still childish little children.
The only person who could share was Ollivander, who was far away in Diagon Alley.
However, Coven could only share this harvest through letters. After writing a letter to Ollivander to inform him of what had happened, he said,
Coven seemed to be a little depressed, so he had to lie in bed and entertain himself…
………
Coven’s thesis caused a great response.
Dumbledore worked hard for two days in public relations. On the third day, he sent an invitation letter to Coven, inviting Coven to go to the Ministry of Magic for an interview and personally answer the thesis.
On the weekend, Coven, accompanied by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Ollivander, came to the Ministry of Magic.
In a hall that was like a wrestling ring, Coven faced hundreds of wizards onlookers.
There were no waves in the process of the thesis defense. It was just a formality. After all, Dumbledore had personally verified it.
In the end, the Ministry of Magic admitted Coven’s thesis, but they did not give Coven the ‘Order of Merlin Medal ‘.
Ministry of Magic’s official statement was that although Coven made a result, this result was not universal. After all, not many people would face Dementors in daily life.
Therefore, from the general perspective of the people who benefited from the thesis, the achievement of Coven’s thesis was not as good as the standard of the Oder of Merlin Medal.
However, Dumbledore’s PR also had results.
Although Coven did not get the Order of Merlin Medal, he got the special contribution award for Ministry of Magic, the ‘The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures’*, and a thousand gold Garen.
[*TL Note: The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, or sometimes known as the Department of Magical Creature Regulation, was the second-largest department in the British Ministry of Magic. It was divided into three divisions named after the three categorizations of magical creatures: Being, Beast, and Spirit. It also housed the liaison offices for Goblins and Centaurs.]
……..
Sunday, Hogwarts Auditorium.
Just as breakfast time was halfway past, the sound of wings flapping suddenly came from the direction of the skylight.
Soon, a large group of owls flew into the auditorium through the skylight, looking for their little masters and throwing down the items in their claws.
After a while, a scream suddenly resounded through the entire auditorium. “Merlin! Coven Quinn is on the headlines of the ‘Daily Prophet’*”
[*TL Note: The Daily Prophet was a wizarding newspaper based in London, England, and was the primary source of news for British and Irish wizards.]
Whoosh
The entire auditorium was in chaos.
Some people looked at the stunned Coven. Some people lowered their heads and read the newspaper in their hands seriously. The rest of them moved closer to the people with the newspaper and watched the news.
“Coven, are you in the newspaper?”
The one who spoke was a fourth-year Gryffindor sitting next to Coven. It was an American boy named Tabor Starrow. He looked very spirited and had a warm personality.
Coven had a deep impression of him because the other party’s wand was very special. It was a strange combination of thunderbird feathers and sycamore wood. There were no thunderbird feathers in England, and there was very few sycamore woods.
At this time, when Coven was faced with the question of Tabor, he recalled a little and understood what was going on.
At that time, he was very curious about the flash that he had never seen before.
However, he did not expect that the photos at that time were actually prepared for today’s newspaper.
“Coven?”
Tabor did not get a response and could not help but call out again.
“Ah?” Coven came back to his senses and immediately said, “I’m sorry, Senior. I don’t know the situation either. Oh, right, I still have something to do. I’ll be leaving first. Let’s talk later.”
Coven didn’t have time to eat and didn’t want to experience the trouble brought about by the focus. He immediately wanted to strategize and retreat…
