On the third day, at the headquarters of the French Ministry of Magic, George and Amy stood on the stage to accept the award.
Below are the aurors and staff of the French Ministry of Magic, as well as representatives from various magical newspapers, including the renowned "Daily Prophet."
The French Minister of Magic took the stage to award George and Amy with two Bravery Medals each, placing a bag containing one thousand Galleons in each of their hands.
"I represent the French Ministry of Magic in presenting the French Bravery Medal and one thousand Galleons to George and Amy, who have made tremendous contributions to capturing the dark wizard Rodrigo Mardox."
"Thank you for your contributions to the French magical community. You are always welcome to visit France!"
As the Minister's voice fell, George and Amy bowed. The applause below was thunderous, and the sound of the magical camera clacked.
After everything was over, Lena smiled at George, who was wearing the medals.
"George, you should be the youngest Bravery Medal recipient in French history!"
"But you deserve it, and I've kind of borrowed your shine."
Amy next to her, holding a bag containing one thousand Galleons, had a huge grin on her face.
She hadn't had this much Galleon in a long time.
"Tonight, I'm treating! Let's go to the best pub on the Magic Street for a feast!"
"You're supposed to be going back to Britain, I heard that the Auror Captain has already informed the British Ministry of Magic about your confession and the situation here. Your previous demotion as an Auror has been revoked, and you have been reinstated as an Auror."
George patted the Galleons in his hand and asked.
Amy held her waist and looked up proudly:
"It's not just about being reinstated as an Auror. I've been promoted to the International Wizarding Cooperation Office of the Ministry of Magic and will be serving as a deputy director."
However, I have applied to take up the position after the end of the summer vacation. I promised to teach you all summer, and I can't break my promise."
"No wonder you're my teacher, sticking to your word from start to finish. I give you a thumbs up!"
George smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Amy has been promoted to the deputy director of the International Wizarding Cooperation Office, and it won't be long before she becomes the director. Even if her boss, Elder Bartie Crouch, wasn't killed by his son, he would probably retire within a few years.
That's good, now he'll have one more familiar face at the Ministry of Magic.
He knows Tonks and her team at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and he has Sir Ludo Bagman, the director of Quidditch, as a friend who invited him to join Quidditch.
Now, in the International Wizarding Cooperation Office, he has met another deputy director, and it's a relationship that's as close as family.
He's only in the second year of Hogwarts, but he already has a lot of experience at the Ministry of Magic.
So George stayed in France, honing his magic skills while secretly studying the ancient and powerful magic, occasionally accompanied by Hermione to stroll along the magical street.
This went on until almost the time for school to start.
On the other side, George in the Marvel universe was working hard to sense the natural energy of the world in the school garden, trying to establish a connection according to how it was described in ancient magic books.
The professor suddenly walked over from the building.
"George, I sense the friend you mentioned, whom I asked you to find!"
"So it seems that we're going to have a new teacher at our school."
George slowly opened his eyes and thought to himself internally:
"My wand will soon need a new core."
George took out his phone from his pocket and began browsing through the latest news online.
Due to the need to simultaneously focus on controlling the actions of three copies in different worlds while also immersing himself in magic research, he hadn't left the school for a step during this period and hadn't paid any attention to anything happening outside.
Even the situation with the Shield and Hydra, he hadn't paid much attention to.
"Is it a sign that the Stark Industries is on its decline with the appointment of Pepper Potts as the group CEO?"
"Tony Stark successfully subdued the assailant at the Monaco track."
The photo showed Tony Stark in the Iron Man armor, with his hands extended, featuring five sharp wolf claws that cut through the attacker's weapon.
"Tony Stark may have already developed a mental issue after his wild party at his mansion."
He scrolled through several headlines, all about Tony Stark, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
Nick Fury wouldn't ignore the Iron Man situation. Even if he was really too busy with the Hydra issue to handle it, he could go and warn Iron Man.
The problem with Iron Man is easy to solve. As long as the template left by his father is studied, a new element can be found to replace "palladium".
"I found it!"
He quickly found news about the Hulk in the pile of articles.
"A green monster has appeared at the College of Wizardry in Virginia, causing the army to retreat in defeat."
The news article also included a video.
Clicking on the video, it showed the green giant in transformation lifting a military Jeep and smashing it against the army.
The comments below were quite interesting, with most people saying the video was computer-generated, and there were even several so-called professionals claiming to have proof and trying to stir up trouble. Even though there were a few students from the school who said they had personally seen it, no one believed them.
So this news wasn't particularly sensational, and everyone just took it as a bit of fun.
It's like in my previous life, when I watched videos online and saw scenes of thunder and lightning in the sky with shadows, strange dragon-shaped whirlpools, or alien spaceships that looked like flying saucers. Few people would take these seriously.
As long as it's not a huge, headline-grabbing event like an alien invasion of New York, government and media can easily cover up small-scale anomalies.
"Where is he now?"
George asked, putting away his phone.
He remembered that after the battle with General Ross, Banner had come to New York with his girlfriend to see Dr. Strange for the cure he had developed, in order to completely neutralize the Green Giant gene inside him and return to normal.
However, he couldn't remember which university Dr. Strange worked at.
"At Grinnell University in the Manhattan District."
Professor X replied:
"He has an angry soul slumbering within him, do you need my help?"
George had told him about Bruce Banner's situation, and he himself had entered Bruce Banner's mental world while using the brainwave amplifier, knowing how to soothe him.
George didn't immediately answer, but instead asked back:
"Steve? Why haven't I seen him for the past two days?"
"Steve said he wanted to visit a friend over the weekend when classes were off, and he won't be back until tomorrow."
Professor X mentioned Steve's leave of absence.
Steve being the Captain America was something that couldn't be kept secret from Black Widow or S.H.I.E.L.D.
From Black Widow, he learned that Carter was still alive and had taken a leave to visit her after her treatment in the hospital.
"Since Steve is not here, Professor, you should stay in the school. I can handle this myself, it's not a big deal."
For the safety of the students, at least one of them should stay at the school. Otherwise, relying solely on careless Wolverine wouldn't be reliable enough.
