After some time, the day of Asmodeus receiving the Order of Merlin approached. Hogwarts professors must be present, and Asmodeus also invited Hagrid, as he had good relations with Hermione. Asmodeus had already invited Hermione and Penello, and they, in turn, invited their parents.
Since their parents are Muggles, everything related to wizards is very interesting to them. Hermione's parents, in their correspondence with her, expressed the desire to meet Asmodeus, about whom Hermione often writes.
Grindelwald also planned to meet with Hermione and Penello's families, as they are members of the most important group in their plan - Muggle parents of wizard children and just Muggles, not elite, but average people outside the magical world. He wanted to understand their attitude towards the magical world and hear their thoughts on the possibility of becoming wizards. Asmodeus had already told Grindelwald about his actions a week ago.
____________________________________________
Wendell and Monica Granger - dentists with a daughter. But since a witch appeared in their own family, their worldview has completely changed! In this world, there is magic and wizards! And their daughter, Hermione Granger, is one of them!
On that day, a witch in a dark green magical robe came to their house and demonstrated magic to them. Wendell and Monica saw as the witch waved the wand in her hand, and the cup on the table turned into an owl!
This shocked them, prompting reflections on the peculiar occurrences around Hermione during their childhood. With Professor McGonagall's explanation, they understood it was the magical antics of a young wizard.
Later, they descended into Diagon Alley, led by Professor McGonagall. The magical shop and enchanted items left them profoundly astonished and nostalgic. Hermione then attended a magical school called Hogwarts to study magic.
Afterward, they frequently communicated with Hermione using Hogwarts' owl post. The Grangers gradually gained a general understanding of the magical world through Hermione's letters.
Hermione also gained her first friend, who introduced her to others—his name is Asmodeus Morningstar. Initially, his surname puzzled them, but they concluded that if magic exists in the world, then myths and legends from the wizarding world must have transferred from the magical to the non-magical realm, so they didn't dwell on it.
The appearance of this friend was a relief for the Grangers, as Hermione had no friends in her early school years. They were concerned that their daughter might face bullying if she went to an unfamiliar place.
Recently, in a letter, they learned that Hermione's new friend had actually received the highest honor in the magical world. Wendell was initially somewhat skeptical of this news. How could a child achieve something so outstanding to merit such a prestigious award? However, Hermione sent them a newspaper explaining why Asmodeus deserved this honor.
In fact, lately, Hermione spends most of her time writing them letters about Asmodeus.
This gave Wendell an indescribable premonition, but from Hermione's letter's description, he knew that Asmodeus regarded his daughter as a friend and nothing more. Wendell looked at his wife with a wry smile and asked, "Monica, are we doing the right thing sending Hermione to Hogwarts? It seems like she's completely fixated on this boy."
Monica rolled her eyes at Wendell and said, "Now that it's a fact, don't worry about it. And read Hermione's letter; she is very happy now. I can't wait to see her new friends."
After speaking, Monica took the letter from Wendell's hand—the one from Hermione inviting them to Asmodeus' award ceremony. Then Monica continued, "she hasn't met anyone her age stronger than her. It might be good that she found someone who surpasses her, especially if it's a boy who interests her."
Wendell said weakly, " We should meet Asmodeus first. I don't know if this child is as powerful as Hermione described..."
The time soon came to the weekend, and the Grangers were fidgeting at home, waiting.
Hermione mentioned that someone would come and take them to the investiture ceremony. Just when the Grangers couldn't wait, there was an explosion at the door, frightening the Granger couple. Before they could recover, they heard a knock on the door.
Wendell hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran over to open the door. Opening it, he saw Hogwarts professor Minerva McGonagall.
McGonagall saw the Grangers, smiled, and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Granger, it's a pleasure to see you again."
The Grangers also hurriedly greeted McGonagall; Wendell said, "I heard from Hermione that she was taken care of by you at school. Thank you very much!"
McGonagall shook her head with a smile and said, "It's Hermione who works hard, and that's why professors cherish her in every possible way. She's a very clever little witch!"
Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, the Grangers raised their heads proudly.
McGonagall then continued, "Hermione should have told Mr. Granger about Mr. Morningstar. Today I'm going to pick up the two of you to go to Asmodeus' award ceremony... As members of Hogwarts, we will enter the venue early."
Hearing McGonagall's words, Wendell hurriedly asked, "Professor McGonagall, please wait a moment. Could you start by telling us about this boy...?"
McGonagall froze for a moment, then realized that Hermione was still telling her parents about Asmodeus a lot.
McGonagall went on to say with great pride, "Asmodeus Noren Morningstar is the most talented wizard in the history of Hogwarts or in the history of magic! He is now the youngest member of the Order of Merlin. At the same time, he is a teacher's assistant for the subject of ancient runes."
The Grangers completely believed Hermione's words after hearing McGonagall's explanation.
Otherwise, who would have believed that a little wizard who was only eleven years old would have such an achievement?
Wendell calmed down and asked McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, how do we get to the ceremony?"
The Grangers then saw McGonagall taking a napkin from her robe and say, "This is called a 'portkey,' and it is a tool used by wizards to travel. Hold on to the napkin, and I'll activate it on the count of three. Today's award ceremony took place in the Grand Hall of the British Department of the International Confederation of Wizards of the Ministry of Magic. By the way, Professor Dumbledore himself made this portkey."
Mrs. and Mrs. Granger looked very puzzled at the napkin. Is this what wizards use for travel?
But the Grangers put their hands on the napkin after McGonagall said, closing the door behind her.
Since they had witnessed magic, seeing the Grangers release their hands, McGonagall solemnly said, "Absolutely do not let it go in the middle!"
Seeing the nervous Grangers nodding, McGonagall continued, "Then I'll count to three." "1" "2" "three!"
The Grangers saw the napkin trembling in their hands, emitting a faint blue light. Then the Grangers felt a hook in their navels. Then their feet left the ground. Their bodies started to fly forward swiftly, so fast that they couldn't see anything clearly ahead! The same thing was happening in the Clearwater home. Only this time, Professor Filius Flitwick picked up Penello's parents.
