Overnight, sometimes a lot of things can happen, such as the two nights when Maca went to the United States; and the same overnight, sometimes nothing happened, and it was uncovered silently. The title page of Dawn.
This night, almost no one happened to Harry and Ron before, and no one knew where Maca took them or what they did.
In the early morning of the next day, the violent wind swept the sky and snow, and the Hogwarts campus was covered with layers of frost and white, cold and clear.
Early in the morning, Maca appeared in the auditorium casually and sat down peacefully on the faculty bench.
Today is the day when the funeral will be held in public, and the atmosphere in the auditorium is quite depressing. Almost everyone wore dark, or simply black dresses and robes, solemn and solemn.
The same is true for Maca-although his wizard's robe made of basilisk material is faintly green, but overall it is also close to black, and the style is also quite exquisite and heavy. . Wearing under this kind of occasion will not look obtrusive.
Today, Professor McGonagall did not sit on the principal’s seat as the previous day. The throne-like seat in the middle of the faculty’s seat is vacant to show respect and miss for the white wizard who once sat on it. .
Snape was not there. He had left the magical world of England for the United States since the students were on vacation. For him, taking Tia to follow the trail of his family is definitely more important than attending this "hypocritical" funeral.
As for Hagrid, he's not in his seat right now—probably not in the mood to come over for breakfast? Maca didn't know, but from the perspective of Hagrid's feelings for Dumbledore, he could guess more or less.
On the four long tables below, a large number of adult wizards replaced the little wizards, sitting slightly crowded. Whether it's real or pretending, at least they don't seem to have any appetite, they just talked in a low voice while eating breakfast on their plate.
In addition to Harry and Ron yesterday, a few other students also came. These students, plus those who had stayed at Christmas, there are also 20 or 30 people.
Maca could tell Harry not to come over, but they couldn't communicate with all the students. Although it was a holiday, it would be unnatural if Dumbledore's funeral was completely absent from school students.
However, it is worth mentioning that Young Master Draco Malfoy, who is usually low-key and low-key enough to have no sense of existence in front of him, is the only Slytherin present today.
To be honest, although this young master has a bad heart, he is just a student.
Behind he came here, most of them were related to his father Lucius Malfoy, and that wall grass, Maca hadn't seen him for a long time. I don't know how many crimes he had suffered under Voldemort's hands, so that his son had to run back to school on such a day to force him in front of Maca.
He knows the father and son Maca quite well. If no one pushes them, they would never want to get involved. Lucius, who has been in contact with Maca and Voldemort up close, doesn't understand the danger of being caught in the middle?
The appearance of Draco was undoubtedly a signal from Voldemort. Of course he didn't want to remind Maca to come, and even if it was, it must not be the point. His behavior is intended to warn those "a few smart people" present, and it is a kind of hidden deterrence.
And perhaps just by the way, Voldemort also wanted to use Draco to provoke Maca. If this is the case, then maybe he has any other reliance this time.
In short, this is definitely not going to be peaceful today-including Maca, many parties are becoming more confident in their hearts.
Maca shook her head secretly, temporarily letting go of her thoughts. Holding the knife and fork, he ate breakfast while maintaining a certain image of courtesy, giving priority to filling his stomach.
Sorrowful condolences cannot be eaten as food. It is more meaningful and valuable to be compassionate to the living than to be compassionate to the dead-this is what Dumbledore said himself.
After a while, Professor McGonagall finally stood up when most of the people put down their utensils. At her station, the people who were still eating—such as Maca—also put the knife and fork on the plate, wiped their mouths and looked at her.
The whispering buzzing in the auditorium soon calmed down.
"Time is almost up," McGraw said, "Please follow the professors of our school and move to the field in front of the castle and wait for a while--"
Speaking of this, she turned her head and nodded slightly towards Maca. Maca also nodded, indicating that he knew it.
Immediately, he got up in the eyes of a large number of wizards, and left the seat first and walked to the porch of the side hall. Many people understand that Maca was the first to leave the meeting at this time, obviously going to get Albus Dumbledore's body out.
After he couldn't see him, everyone turned around again, preparing to start moving outside the auditorium. Half of Minerva McGonagall and the other professors took the lead and walked in the front, while the other half stood at the end and waited to make sure that everyone went to the outside venue.
Slughorn today wore a gorgeous bright green robe with silver silk embroidered borders. It was obvious that even a solemn funeral could not stop his sorrowful heart. Now he is not a professor, so he also walks out among the guests at the moment, but it looks really eye-catching.
People who know him will understand that this fat old man is actually expressing his inner solemnity in his own way.
Next to him is the old Mr. Scamander who has been living in Hogwarts for the past few days. Compared with Slughorn, this respected miraculous zoologist is too simple.
Beside the entrance of the auditorium, the gatekeeper Filch and the librarian Mrs. Pins stood there.
Filch was wearing an old-fashioned gray suit today, and his tie was tight enough to make one wonder if he would strangle him, and there was a strange smell of camphor **** all over his body. Mrs. Pins was wearing a thick and long black mask, and the lower edge of the mask even fell to her knees.
I have to say that there is an alternative match between these two people standing together.
Gradually, everyone poured out of the auditorium in a fairly orderly manner. After Mrs. Filch Peaces also walked out at the end, the last few professors also walked out the door.
Sprout, the Dean of Hufflepuff, who usually doesn't care about the cleanliness of his appearance, rarely picks up himself clean today. There is not even a patch on the wizard's robe and hat.
Today is a day that no one will treat lightly.
……
At the same time, Maca is walking to the fourth floor of the main fort without any haste.
He proficiently walked through the constantly changing stairs of Hogwarts, sometimes walking slowly, sometimes catching up a few steps, and stepping in the right direction every time, never wasting time to stop. While waiting next.
Not long after, he walked along the corridor on the fourth floor to the deepest point, in front of the heavy wooden door that he missed quite a bit.
In the first school year after entering Hogwarts, he and Harry had been here. At that time, the three-headed dog Lu Wei was tied behind this door, and there were many checkpoints behind it, as well as the Philosopher's Stone hidden at the bottom.
And now, Dumbledore's body is parked there, using magic to properly maintain his appearance during his lifetime.
Maca took out the staff and tapped it on the door knocker. As the door flashed lightly, the wooden door creaked and opened automatically, revealing a spacious but empty storage room.
I saw him open the trapdoor on the ground with a wave of his hand, and jumped into it with a leap.
Now the levels inside are gone, only a few rooms and a wide thoroughfare are left. Moving unimpeded all the way, he stopped in the last big room and moved his gaze to the center of the room.
Dumbledore’s body was ups and downs in a beam of light covering his whole body~IndoMTL.com~The strands of silver-white beard and hair wafted endlessly with his silver-grey wizard robe, like being in a swath of light particles. In the spring water.
It was this old man who changed his life with a letter. In these few years of talking about long or short, he has bestowed various favors on himself, but he has also caused himself a lot of trouble. If you ask Maca what kind of feelings he has for him, I am afraid I will thank you more.
After today, will you see his old face again?
"Professor, please!"
Maca said casually, but was amused by herself again.
No more nostalgia, he reached out his staff and waved his backhand, and Dumbledore's body immediately broke away from the beam of light and slid lightly out the door.
When Maca returned to the foyer on the same route, he did not go to the auditorium again, but left directly through the castle gate.
The blizzard outside is still very heavy, and there is snow everywhere. Maca turned aside after exiting the gate, controlling Dumbledore's body and heading to the south side of the castle.
Today's funeral is on the lakeshore to the south, and there will also be the place where Dumbledore was buried.
There has never been a precedent for setting up a tomb within the Hogwarts campus. There is no doubt that only Dumbledore can sleep in this land without opposition.
After Maca walked for a moment along the path that had long been buried by the snow, with only a lot of footprints left, he saw the large and solemn figure standing by the lake in the distance.
Even in the wind and snow, none of them expressed dissatisfaction, but all stared at the remains floating in front of Maca.
Countless snowflakes slipped quietly to the sides when they reached the corpse, and none of them had been contaminated.
