Fortunately, Cooper is indeed very reliable and has mastered the skills of how to soothe his wife's emotions.
So when Noah opened the door, what he saw was not his mother's worried face, but scattered ribbons.
"Congratulations to Noah for being elected as a warrior and successfully defeating the fire dragon!" Cooper announced loudly.
Noah was stunned for a moment, then looked subconsciously and found that his sister was also waving fireworks in her hands, looking happy. Even Christina's face was filled with happiness.
Cooper winked at Noah, and it seemed like he had everything figured out.
Noah then felt relieved and stepped forward to give his mother a hug.
Christina patted his back gently: "Noah, you have really grown up and become a pretty outstanding little wizard."
If Cooper hadn't reminded her, she might still be immersed in the inherent impression of that poor baby who would be taken away. Noah has now grown to the point where he can deal with various crises skillfully. He can even deal with a fire dragon! And as Cooper said, Noah is a genius. He should not be imprisoned in the greenhouse by his worries. He has a broader future.
Hearing this, Noah already looked at his father with some suspicion.
Are you sure this was persuasion and not brainwashing? ? ? Can a person's ideas change so much in a short period of time? ! Is this normal? ? ?
Cooper gestured to him to be silent, indicating that the matter would be discussed later. No matter what, it was right to follow Christina first.
While eating lunch, Noah couldn't help but check his mother's mental state several times, and found that there was nothing wrong except being a little too excited, so he became even more confused.
What happened that made his mother finally think clearly? ? ?
A few hours later Noah knew the answer.
"...You mean, mom met with Principal Dumbledore?" Noah frowned, "Principal Dumbledore convinced her?"
It can't be said to be unexpected, but it feels... quite normal.
He knew very well the level of deception that Principal Dumbledore had, and it seemed possible that he could deceive his own mother into a child.
Cooper spread his hands: "Yes, and, 'He can do better than me.' These are Dumbledore's exact words. He bluntly said that he could not easily subdue a fire dragon at your age."
No, Noah's record is truly unprecedented. A seventeen-year-old wizard subdued a powerful fire dragon with only one magic. This can be regarded as a legend. There were many reporters in the school who wanted to interview them during that time, but Principal Dumbledore blocked them all from Hogwarts Castle. It was not until Christmas that a few were allowed in. To this day, the dynamic photo of Noah subduing the fire dragon by himself is still hanging in newspapers, which shows how powerful this thing is.
That's why Noah didn't care much about that, so he turned a deaf ear to all the commotions in the outside world.
"Have you talked about anything else?" Noah was really curious about how Dumbledore deceived his mother.
"We talked about you raiding the library." Cooper smiled. "Dumbledore said he was considering opening his private collection to you."
Noah, who had actually picked up a collection of books, said: "...Oh."
"He said that your future is limitless, and you might become a great wizard that surpasses him." Cooper rubbed Noah's head. The seventeen-year-old Noah is no longer shorter than him. Next year he will graduate from Hog. Watts graduated and officially became an adult wizard.
"By the way, the Ministry of Magic plans to add a third-level Sir Merlin Medal to you when you come of age, in recognition of your invention of the magic mirror and wizard duel cards." In fact, Noah was going to be crowned from the beginning, but nothing happened. That report angered Cooper, who demanded that Noah wait until he was an adult before being awarded the medal.
Noah nodded to show that he knew.
The Order of Merlin is an honorary medal awarded by the Order of Merlin. There are three types of medals in total. The first-class medal with a green ribbon is awarded to those who have shown particularly outstanding courage or talent in the field of magic; it is accompanied by a purple ribbon. The second-level medal is awarded to people with outstanding achievements or efforts; the third-level medal with a white ribbon is awarded to people who have made contributions in academic or entertainment areas.
There is no hierarchy among the three medals, but they are in different fields. They are probably like the Nobel Prize in the Muggle world.
Their conversation ended quickly, because Christina appeared at the door of the room holding Charlotte: "Isn't the secret conversation between you father and son over yet? Little Charlotte can't wait to play with her brother."
She put down little Charlotte, and the little guy immediately ran towards Noah with steps that were not too steady, then hugged Noah's legs and called his brother in a vague voice.
Noah leaned over and held her two little hands: "She can already run."
Charlotte has liked shiny things ever since she was a baby who just opened her eyes to see the world. Of course, it is possible that it was because of Noah's habit. Just like she likes Noah's eyes very much now, she has the impression that her brother's eyes will shine. .
Noah blocked the little paw reaching towards his eyes and stood up: "How about I take her to the backyard to play for a while? I haven't seen Ma Ha in a long time."
Christina nodded: "Okay, be careful and don't play too late."
Noah nodded and took his sister out.
Christina entered the room and looked at her husband with raised eyebrows: "What did you talk about? You look very happy."
"Of course we talked about Dumbledore," Cooper stepped forward and put his arm around his wife's shoulders, "I should tell Noah about this."
He said it as if nothing had happened, but his eyes flashed.
In fact, there was another reason why Dumbledore convinced Christina - the mysterious man.
The mysterious man was eliminated once again, quietly, without alerting the outside world, and was just eliminated.
"...So, he will never have another chance to make a comeback." Dumbledore said at the time, "Furthermore, Noah is a very good little wizard, and I see in him a talent that is not inferior to that of Tom. His future is immeasurable, and we cannot limit his future just because we are worried about his safety..."
Dumbledore made it clear to them a lot, from his initial worries after discovering Noah's talent to his later trust, and he also apologized for his initial overthinking, even if those were just his personal thoughts.
It was precisely that kind of calmness and elders' views that made Christina think about it alone for a long time after the conversation, and that led to her current change.
This Triwizard Tournament is an opportunity to prove to them that Noah is no longer the little baby who was randomly captured by Death Eaters. He is already a powerful wizard.
Some people died, but not completely...
