Chapter 904: The Head Boy

Chapter 904: The Head Boy

“Congratulations, Evan!”

“That’s amazing!”

“It’s incredible, like a dream.”

“I knew it, that’s Evan, nothing is impossible with him.”

Evan Looked up and saw everyone around him smiling. Hermione even showed more happiness than him.

Everyone was surprised at first that he could become the Head Boy, and then became thrilled.

“The Head Boy is appointed from all the male students at Hogwarts. Only the best wizard can become a Head Boy. There’s no age limit in theory, but in fact, there has been no student under the seventh year for many years!” Professor McGonagall took out a brand new silver badge and looked at Evan with satisfaction. “This is what Dumbledore has won for you. We must admit, Evan, you are the best student I have ever taught. This is the School’s recognition of you.”

“Thank you, professor!” Evan took the badge. It was true that he was still a little confused and did not react.

This outcome was so sudden, completely beyond his expectation. What did Dumbledore want to do?!

To make him the Head Boy of Hogwarts was quite pushing him from within the School to the public.

Coming to think of it, it was a miracle in itself for a fourth-year student to become Head Boy. After spreading out, everyone would talk about it and pay close attention to Evan’s every move.

A new legend was rising, and Evan’s name would spread throughout the wizarding world very fast.

First of all, everyone would be concerned about why he became the Head Boy; was he really qualified to that?

Evan’s past experience was enough to prove all of that. It was to recall that he also had the title of “Hope Star” in the wizarding world. In the Quidditch World Cup, he staged a high-level performance in front of a hundred thousand wizards. It was the battle of the century.

The strength shown in the duel with Caresius was enough to prove that Evan was qualified to serve as the Head Boy.

He had become the Hogwarts Head Boy at the age of only fourteen, and he would completely live up to the claim of Dumbledore’s successor.

Even Voldemort did not have such a privilege at his age.

After becoming the Head Boy, with the endorsement of the whole Hogwarts, Evan’s status and influence would be greatly improved. He could justly set up his own team and use this influence to do a lot of things.

In theory, he now had the qualifications to lead and manage all Hogwarts students.

Finally, considering his fourteen-year-old age, he was too young. Not surprisingly, Evan would remain in this position for the next four years until graduation. He would certainly leave his own indelible mark in Hogwarts.

As the youngest Head Boy in nearly a thousand years, this event alone was enough to make him remembered by history.

After a brief thought, Evan realized that Dumbledore had made the decision.

After listening to him talk about his trip to Italy, Dumbledore should have also understood that the greatest enemy facing the wizarding world was no longer Voldemort, but a terrible evil god, and Evan was the best person to fight the evil gods.

He was now launching Evan to help him build up influence and accumulate enough capital as soon as possible.

In the face of powerful enemies, only a qualified leader could become the only beacon in the dark, guiding the wizards forward and giving them the courage to continue fighting, just like Dumbledore had now done.

No matter how evil and terrible Voldemort was, as long as he was there, people would not completely lose hope and firmly believe that the ultimate victory would come.

Voldemort would not be unbridled, but qualmish.

When facing the invasion of the evil gods in the future, there would still be a need for such a leader, namely Evan…

Undoubtedly, there were many advantages brought to Evan to do this, but there were also many disadvantages.

In the short term, the most direct pressure was probably Fudge and the Ministry of Magic, and they would definitely try their best to counter the rise of Evan.

Among other things, Umbridge, who was about to arrive at Hogwarts, would definitely regard him as the main target of suppression.

With Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Evan’s threat level would also increase rapidly.

In the future, it would not be so easy for him to keep a low profile and pretend to be an ordinary fourteen-year-old wizard fishing in troubled waters.

Of course, with Evan’s current strength, none of these would be a problem…

“The negotiations between Dumbledore and the Board of Governors went on until the last minute. Those people did not intend to agree, but Dumbledore said that if they disagree with the appointment, there will be no Head Boy until Evan graduates, because there are no students better than him in the school,” said Professor McGonagall. She told them all the details about the meeting of Dumbledore and the Board of Governors, which had been deadlocked for a long time.

That was also why this year’s letter from the school was exceptionally late and had been delayed until the last day of the holidays.

“Under the current special situation, Dumbledore believes that the most important thing is to gather people and get them united,” said Professor McGonagall, her lips pursed. “Evan, he has high hopes for you…”

Evan nodded, looking as though he really wanted to figure out what to do.

Next to him, Hermione’s little hand was holding his hand excitedly, her body trembling slightly because of the excitement.

It looked as though she herself had become the Head Girl.

In fact, Evan deserved to become the Head Boy, and she wouldn’t have been more delighted if she had received this honor.

She kept talking about it, as did everyone else. The focus of attention in the kitchen shifted from her and Ron to Evan.

No one mentioned her becoming the prefect, but she didn’t care at all.

It wasn’t until more than twenty minutes later that the warm atmosphere calmed down a bit.

“Well, I think a toast is in order,” said Mr. Weasley with a smile, when everyone had a drink. He raised his goblet. “To Evan, the new Head Boy … to Ron and Hermione, the new Gryffindor prefects!”

Everyone drank to them and then applauded warmly. They were all staring at Evan.

Although everyone had known him for a long time, they still wanted to see how he was different.

“It’s incredible, the Head Boy!” said Tonks brightly as everybody moved toward the table to help themselves to food. “This is a big man in the school. When I was a student, I could only look up to them silently in the corner.”

Her hair was tomato-red and waist length today; she looked like Ginny’s older sister.

“Of course, the prefect is also great. Although it’s still far from the Head Boy or Girl, not everyone has the opportunity,” Tonks continued, staring enviously at Evan’s badge, “You know, I could maybe have been a prefect, but my Head of House said I lacked certain necessary qualities.”
