Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

Chapter 56: Bonus Points for the Youngest Transfiguration Master in History
Ever since Damon's sudden attack on Malfoy, the number of wizards who stayed in bed had dropped dramatically - not to mention the Gryffindors and Slytherins on both sides of the incident, the Ravenclaws were early risers anyway, and only the Hufflepuff students were not too keen on getting up early.

But influenced by the students from the other three colleges, most of them also got up early.

Today, several weeks have passed since the incident that the little wizards talked about so much, and some of them have gradually been defeated by laziness and can no longer get out of bed.

Then - these people experienced the second most painful regret in their lives.

As the new issues of Transfiguration Today and the Daily Prophet were published, countless wizards exclaimed "This is impossible" and sent their letters to the student who was said to be a first-year student at Hogwarts.

Among them, there are questions, inquiries, threats, and discussions; their attitudes are either submissive, humble, radical, or panic.

All kinds of letters came from all directions and from all kinds of people.

The red howling letter, the official notice from the Ministry of Magic sealed with purple wax, the anonymous threatening letter with blood threats, and the cursed letter carrying a cursed object.

Countless owls circled in the sky above Hogwarts, and refused to leave because they could not find their target.

The owl shed on the west side of the eighth floor was completely packed. The little wizards' owls had never seen so many of their kind before, and they flapped their wings and hooted non-stop.

The younger wizards chattered in the hall, excited about the excitement brought by the owls.

Whether inside the hall, outside the hall, in the windows, or outside the windows, everywhere within sight was occupied by owls. From time to time, new owls flew into the hall, and flew out again after failing to find Damon.

The senior wizards looked at this crazy scene, their heads dazed, wondering what had happened to cause such a mess.

Could it be that Headmaster Dumbledore has called the Ministry of Magic?
The prefects shouted among the owls, trying to maintain order. Professor McGonagall, who had anticipated this scene, sat in the teacher's seat with a smile on her face. For some reason, only today, only at this moment, she was unwilling to stop everything.

Unless the real Lord comes to accept this glory that belongs only to Him!

Later, when Damon settled the fire dragon and brought his roommates to have breakfast, this was the scene he saw.

He didn't have much time to prepare.

When Damon sat down, all the owls came in one after another, their feathers of various colors intertwined and tangled together. Countless envelopes fell beside Damon or flew straight to his head. Some owls fell directly onto the plate in front of him and placed the envelopes in front of him.

Hundreds of howling letters burned around him, then all went silent when Damon swung his staff.

The official notice from the Ministry of Magic shone brightly on the ceiling, and a middle-aged man's voice echoed throughout the hall:

"After deliberation by all members of the Wizengamot and Ministry of Magic Council, the Order of Merlin, Second Class, is hereby awarded to Damon White, a first-year student at Hogwarts, in recognition of his discovery of 'White's Transfiguration Laws', which revolutionized modern Transfiguration theory."

After the majestic voice finished reading, the envelope automatically turned into a round gold medal connected by a purple ribbon and quickly fell into Damon's hands.

Originally, the awarding ceremony would have required him to go to the Ministry of Magic specifically and receive the award in the presence of all the members of the Ministry of Magic. However, Dumbledore kept things simple considering that Damon was still a student and it was also his own wish.

During the time when the official envelopes were being read, a small mountain of envelopes had piled up around Damon.

Then, the best among them began to show off their skills. As if to show off their strength to the newly emerged master of transfiguration, thirty-six envelopes stood out from nearly ten thousand of their kind and quickly transformed.

The friendlier ones basically turned into natural creatures. The best among them turned into a blue mini butterfly, flew directly onto Damon's shoulder, and stood there quietly, motionless.

The most radical ones were the nine seals among them - they transformed into bronze rune chains and instantly attacked Damon from nine directions, trying to lock all of his limbs.

But as Damon waved his wand again, all nine letters were turned back to their original forms.

Then came those curse letters that contained hidden malice. Damon felt some extremely disgusting and evil objects. He was afraid that if he touched them lightly, he would be in immediate danger - it would be troublesome if other young wizards came across such things.

He waved his wand, put all the dangerous items into the magic suitcase, and threw them all into the unused second "mini world". He would deal with them slowly later - he would find a time to throw them to Borgin and Burke's shop, the owner of which would definitely be interested in these things.

After dealing with the dangerous and conspicuous ones, all that was left was a pile of ordinary letters that almost reached the ceiling.

Damon waved his wand, and the pile of white envelopes began to riot, turning into miniature birds.

The boy opened the suitcase beside him, just like a young magician spreading his arms, and all the birds spontaneously poured into the suitcase, endlessly, and the suitcase showed no intention of being filled.

Everything happened within a minute.

Therefore, the wizards present felt that before they had time to sort out the situation, everything was over.

They saw Professor McGonagall stand up from the teacher's seat, with an unprecedented smile on her face, and announced loudly:
"Gryffindor adds 150 points to the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, Second Class, in history, Damon White!"

"Gryffindor adds another 150 points for the youngest Transfiguration Master in history, Damon White!"

That morning, in that very short half hour, the young wizards present felt that they had seen all the owls they could see in their lifetime.

They didn't understand why Damon was the youngest master of Transfiguration in history, and the half-bloods among them didn't even understand the meaning of the Second Class Order of Merlin, but they all heard Professor McGonagall add 300 points to Damon alone.

Professor McGonagall was famous for her adherence to the rules, and despite being the Head of Gryffindor, she never showed favoritism to students from her own house.

Students from all four colleges are well aware of this.

But the more this is the case, the more weight her actions at this moment seem to carry.

What kind of feat did the Duel Prince accomplish and what it means.

This topic became the permanent topic for the rest of this semester.

Along with this topic, there are two sub-topics that are always brought up together, one for wizards who sleep in and the other for wizards in Slytherin.

Sub-topic 1: Why did they sleep in that damned night?
Sub-topic 2: Why didn’t Damon White join Slytherin?
