It was supposed to be a Transfiguration class, but it turned into an acting class.

Many young wizards rushed to hear the news and flooded the classroom.

"Good." Professor Marchband applauded enthusiastically.

"Child, you are already the eighth registered legal Animagus of this century, congratulations!"

"Then this certificate will be given to you as well."

Marchiban handed William a golden certificate.

I saw that it was written in gilt font: The Most Potential Newcomer Award!

William was stunned before taking his fourth award to date.

He has previously been awarded the Order of Merlin and two 'Outstanding Contributions to Hogwarts'.

"Don't be surprised, I'm the editor-in-chief of Transfiguration Today, but I won't be able to do it for a few years, and I'll be handed over to Minerva." Marchiban laughed.

William took the certificate, and what he wanted to complain about was not this, but the certificate...... Did you send it down like that?

Professor McGonagall was very excited when she mentioned it, and William thought there would be some big award ceremony.

Not to mention that it is as formal as the Order of Merlin, at least it has to be a little ceremonial, right?

Such a fluttering piece of paper was dismissed, giving William a kind of confusion of a third-rate small workshop.

It's as if he handed over the dog's head gold found in his field to the government, and the other party gave him 500 yuan, and then spoke in an authentic dialect: "This is the pennant that the state gave you, fellow!" ”

It always felt like something was wrong.

Obviously, William was overthinking.

Transfiguration Today is not an official magazine, but an authoritative academic journal.

The "Most Promising Newcomer" award is also unofficial in nature, and is intended to encourage young wizards to excel in Transfiguration.

If it weren't for the fact that Marchiban knew William, the certificate would have been sent directly by an owl, where would it have been sent in person.

This award does not involve a single galleon, except in terms of honors, and there is no so-called ceremony.

After all, other magazines take the high-end academic route, and their sales are far inferior to those of the Prophet Daily, where is the spare money to do some bells and whistles.

"With this award, the school will help you apply for the International Wizard Youth Scholarship." Professor McGonagall said.

Oh, it dawned on William.

The Most Promising Newcomer Award is one of the certificates recognized by the International Congress of Wizards, and with this honor, you can apply for an international scholarship.

And this scholarship is awarded by the International Federation of Wizards.

The Federation is an intergovernmental organization in the wizarding world, roughly equivalent to the United Nations in the Muggle world.

Think about it, what should be the value of the scholarship given to you by the Federation?

It is no exaggeration to say that with this certificate, William can go to any department of the Ministry of Magic, the kind that does not need to be assessed.

On top of that, Dumbledore was the president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

In line with the concept that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, William's scholarship level will undoubtedly be the highest level.

That's going to be a significant amount of money!

Therefore, as long as the grades are good enough, not only does it not cost any money to go to school, but when you graduate, you can even make a small profit.

That's what Dumbledore took back then, and when he graduated, he won all the awards he could get.

Sometimes, that's how influence is built little by little.

Dumbledore was helping William build influence.

"Let's take a picture, the next issue of Transfiguration Today will publish your paper and the award you won." Marchiban said, motioning for a photographer next to him to take a picture.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Suddenly there was a voice from the crowd, and Lockhart stomped through the crowd and strode towards them, turquoise robes fluttering behind him.

"Which newspaper is interviewing, how come I don't know?" Lockhart was a little excited.

Lockhart walked into the classroom, and he put one arm around William's shoulder, and said cheerfully and loudly, "William, don't ask!" We'll meet again, William! ”

"How about telling me that I don't want to be interviewed by reporters during the summer vacation?" Lockhart put his arm around William's shoulders intimately.

"Seeing that the newspaper is full of pictures of me makes you jealous, right? That taste of fame, isn't it? "So you can't wait to hire a reporter?" ”

"Come on, Mr. Reporter," Lockhart greeted with a smile, "and a double photo, it's a good deal, we're going to make the headlines!" ”

"Who are you?" Professor Marche said impatiently.

"Sorry, you don't know me? I'm the famous wizard Lockhart. ”

Marchiban shook his head, indicating that he didn't know this fancy man, and even felt a little disgusting in his heart.

She was disgusted when she saw the sissy.

She prefers Dumbledore's one, which has a masculine touch!

Lockhart saw the certificate in William's hand, he stared at the contents, and read: "Because of the outstanding Animagus attainments......"

"Animagus...... I'm familiar with this magic, in fact, I used it when I was dealing with Byron's female ghost. Lockhart couldn't wait to brag.

"So you're an illegal Animagus?" Professor March's eyes narrowed.

Illegal Animagus is a crime and requires entry into Azkaban.

Lockhart, although he didn't know what Animagus was, didn't prevent him from hearing the word "illegal".

He hesitated for a moment, looked at William, and asked:

"What newspaper are they?"

"Transfiguration Today."

"Transfiguration today? I haven't heard of it, it seems to be a small newspaper. Lockhart's back straightened again.

As long as it's not a big newspaper, he's not afraid.

There was a commotion from the crowd, all glaring at Lockhart.

It doesn't matter if the junior wizard doesn't know, a wizard of Lockhart's level doesn't even know "Transfiguration Today"?

William was also a little stunned.

This is the same as graduating with a doctorate, but you don't even know about CNKI.

Could it be that Lockhart's real identity is actually Dr. Lowe?

Sure enough, there is more reality than magic!

Lockhart also felt that he might have made a serious low-level mistake, so he muttered twice, made an excuse, and hurried away.

"Where did Albus get such an unlearned guy......" Marchban said in a loud voice.

There was a lot of talk and skepticism about Professor Lockhart's standards.

……

……

Soon, Transfiguration Today became a hit at Hogwarts.

Walking around the campus, almost every little wizard has a copy.

At noon, Harry and Ron sat down at Gryffindor's table, next to Hermione, her Transfiguration Today spread out on a milk jug.

She was eating while watching intently, occasionally picking up a pen to sketch.

"I said Hermione, can you please stop holding that magazine all the time!" Ron said impatiently, "Walking on the road, you can see people everywhere you are watching."

I really don't understand, what's there to see. ”

"That's what you can't read!" Hermione retorted sharply, "If you're high enough, you'll find a lot of interesting content.

In particular, William's article has a lot of thought-provoking methods that can't be learned in textbooks. ”

"Didn't you study in the library with William every day, and he didn't teach you?" Harry wondered.

"That's different, William hasn't talked to me about such high-end content yet, I'll find out in advance myself.

The content of his article is so profound that even Professor McGonagall appreciates it, and it doesn't hurt to read it in advance. ”

"That's because William wrote at the beginning of the article – 'Thank you Professor McGonagall for teaching me the Animagus.'" Ron sourly said, "If it were me, I would have greatly appreciated that article." ”

Harry stabbed Ron.

Ron said unhappily, "What's wrong?" Am I not right?! ”

"Of course not! I'm just recommending this article from the academic field, nothing else! Professor McGonagall's voice rang out.

She stood behind Ron with her textbook in her arms, pursed her lips tightly and looked cold.

"Ahh Ron's frightened cavernous body went limp, and he almost fell out of his chair.

"Mr. Weasley, if I were you, I wouldn't speak ill of others behind their backs, especially your own dean!"

Professor McGonagall huffed.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm not ......"

Professor McGonagall interrupted with a straight face, "You two, go find Mr. Filch this Saturday!" As a punishment for stealing a car into school! ”

"What are we going to do, Professor?" Harry asked hurriedly.

"Ask Mr. Filch yourself, I don't know!"

Professor McGonagall said coldly, then turned and left.

She had gone to Filch to intercede and make the punishment lighter, but now it seems that ...... Let's forget it.
