What had they just heard… a werewolf out of control?
Even as freshmen, after a year of study, they all knew how terrifying werewolves were.
It was mentioned when we were learning about the werewolf code of conduct. It is a 5X level werewolf. After transformation, the werewolf is ferocious, agile, and extremely powerful, and can be a deadly and dangerous creature to wizards.
Even many adult wizards and even the Ministry of Magic strikers cannot deal with werewolves. That has always been the job of the Aurors.
They really couldn't imagine how Kyle did it...
At the Gryffindor table, Ron and Harry's eyes were already wide open.
They have had this expression ever since the truth came out.
They are still reciting the werewolf behavior rules, but Kyle can already tear a werewolf apart with his bare hands. The gap is a bit too big.
Hermione was better off. She had thought before that the person who received the medal might be Kyle, so she was not too surprised.
No matter what others thought, Dumbledore had already taken and opened the box handed to him by Doug McPhail at the guest of honor table.
Inside was an exquisite gold medal and a purple ribbon.
The ribbon colors of the Order of Merlin medals of different levels are also different. The first level is green, the second level is purple, and the third level is white.
However, this thing should be a standard one, and it seemed a bit big for Kyle, almost stretching from his left shoulder to his calf.
If this were red...it would be so festive.
Dumbledore moved his fingers slightly and instantly changed it to the right size.
"Thank you for everything, child." Dumbledore solemnly handed the golden medal to Kyle.
"Thank you for your teaching, Professor." Kyle stretched out his hand and shook it gently with Dumbledore.
…
If someone was standing outside the auditorium at this moment, they might have thought there was an explosion.
The cheers from the four houses were getting louder and louder. At the Hufflepuff table, Mikel and Ryan stood on their stools and cheered loudly, wishing they could tell everyone that Kyle was their roommate.
Even Cedric and Connor, who were usually calm, were jumping up and down at the dining table excitedly.
Dumbledore did not interrupt them this time.
The deafening cheers gradually subsided until everyone's hands were numb from clapping and their throats were hoarse from shouting.
"As the headmaster of Hogwarts..." At this time, Dumbledore continued: "I will reward Hufflepuff House with 200 points, and Kyle will once again receive the Special Contribution Award for the school."
The crowd, which had just been quiet for a short while, became noisy again.
The decorations in the Great Hall were returned to their previous appearance, but not many Gryffindors felt sorry about it.
Just like Harry and the others added 150 points to Gryffindor, there was nothing wrong with Kyle's extra points this time.
Some people even think that 200 points are too few, because it is the Order of Merlin, and it is second level... It should be at least 500 points.
Headmaster Dumbledore is so stingy.
At the end of the ceremony, Dumbledore asked Kell to stand in his place and give a speech.
Kyle cleared his throat, "Then I'll just say a few words..."
Since he was in a hurry to eat, Kyle didn't give a long speech. He just talked about some ways to improve learning efficiency and suggestions on vigorously developing a harmonious campus of Hogwarts.
However, most students were not interested in this, and only a small number of them listened carefully.
For example, Hermione not only listened very carefully, but also wrote down every word of what was said.
And Neville... He also wanted to write it down, but when he finished writing the first sentence, he forgot everything that followed.
He hoped that there would be no more casualties among Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professors next year and that they would be able to survive and thrive until the end of the next school year.
Everyone laughed knowingly, and even the wizards who were visiting couldn't help but shook their heads.
It is no secret in the wizarding world that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts gets into trouble every year. Of course they know it.
This time of year is also when Dumbledore is least popular.
He was like a stinking mountain monster, annoying and unwelcome, and was turned away wherever he went.
In order to prevent Dumbledore from visiting them, some people would even flee to other countries for refuge before the Hogwarts holidays, and would not return until school started in September.
"Oh, it seems we have to go back quickly. It will be bad if we get entangled by him."
McPhail smiled and half-jokingly said to Sassia who was sitting next to him: "I am old now. I can help award medals, but I'd rather not be a professor."
"That's right, this job is too dangerous."
Sassia also covered her mouth and chuckled: "We have thought about preparing a separate area for those defense professors."

Beside him, Dumbledore's face turned red and he glared at Kyle unhappily.
This little bastard, why are you saying this! When Kyle finished speaking, the banquet that had been delayed for a long time began.
Kyle, who returned to the Hufflepuff table, became the focus of everyone's attention. Young wizards kept coming to congratulate him on winning the Order of Merlin.
As a result, Kyle only ate a few bites of the rice, but he was almost full from drinking the pumpkin juice.
"You actually hid this from us..."
After a long time, the crowd of congratulatory people gradually dispersed. Cedric said with a straight face: "Before this, we didn't even know you had been to St. Mungo's!"
"I don't know if I can really get the Order of Merlin." Kyle explained, "Besides, it's all over now. Even if I tell you about it, it will only make you worry."
"You're not right. We are friends." Kanna wrinkled her nose and said, "Isn't it normal to worry about your friends?"
"That's right, so even if you say that, I can't forgive you." Cedric said coldly, "Unless you swear that you will never hide it from us again when you are in danger in the future!"
"You're going too far." Kyle gave him an unpleasant look, "You make it sound like I'm in danger all the time."
"Hmm... isn't it?" Cedric raised his eyebrows. "Besides St. Mungo's... the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor incidents in the past two years are also related to you. Also, you disappear every time there's a Quidditch match, and..."
"Okay, I promise you!" Kyle interrupted him and said decisively: "I swear on Dumbledore's beard!"
Cedric then started laughing again.
"That's right... Congratulations on winning the Order of Merlin." He raised a glass of pumpkin juice.
"Congratulations!" Kanna also raised her glass.
Looking at the cups in their hands, which were more than one circle larger than the others and filled with pumpkin juice, Kyle's face turned green and he felt his stomach churning.
"You did it on purpose!"
"Hahaha!"
Cedric then laughed happily, "Who told you to hide it from us? This is your punishment."
Kanna also smiled, "But since you helped us win back the college cup, we will allow you to drink it later."
"Hehe..." Kyle rubbed his belly:
"Thank you!"
