Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 474: On the eve of the funeral
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Since the afternoon of Christmas Day, the original bright sunshine seems to have forgotten his own duties, and it has not been for several days. Can fall on the ground again.
Snowflakes once again precariously occupies everyone's field of vision, and also occupies everyone's time playing outdoors.
However, Maca didn't intend to stay long, and there are still many things to do next. Now that you have enjoyed a cheerful friendship, it's time to act.
In another week, it will be the public day of Dumbledore’s funeral. Whether they were friendly with Dumbledore or not, a large number of wizards were coming one after another, and began to silently mourn the first person of the contemporary white wizard.
The village of Hogsmeade was filled up by these people all at once. Not only were the three broomsticks upstairs filled with tenants, but even the extremely messy and messy place like Pig’s Head was not left. Even a room.
Whether it is day or night, the streets of the village are full of people, and it is not easy to walk normally.
The village of Hogsmeade has become like this, and Hogwarts Castle naturally can't go anywhere. Because of the publicity of the funeral, more people came than Professor McGonagall had estimated, and there were indeed many people who were uncomfortable.
Every professor in the school moved, and Maca, a particularly young professor of ancient magic literature, was not immune, and joined the ranks of entertaining guests.
He thought that with his appearance, he would have to spend some saliva when receiving guests. But he soon discovered that his reputation seemed to be much greater than expected, and many people already knew him.
But think about it. In the past few years, he has not had many trivial matters, but he has never stopped major ones. Coupled with the wave of publicity when he received the Merlin Medal last time, most people who should know him will not forget him.
Soon, a few days passed in a hurry as the wind and snow outside got bigger and bigger.
In the past few days, Maca has met countless people...
There are representatives of various pure-blood families at home and abroad, as well as excellent wizards of mixed blood or Muggle origin, and of course there are many ordinary wizards who are not well-known and have never even heard of them.
There are professors and even principals of major magic schools, representatives of various large and small organizations, and naturally there are members of the International Federation of Wizards.
They all come from different industries, different families and even different countries, but each of them will say "sorrow", and each of them will express feelings for Dumbledore’s life, and also for Dumbledore’s existence. And grateful.
Each of them interprets everything Dumbledore has done, and also shows Dumbledore’s magnificent life that is hard to comment on in words.
Even if the body is dead, some people are more dazzling than those who are still alive. This is Albus Dumbledore.
Maca doesn't know how many people have felt this, at least he really felt it. Although he has never pursued this kind of life surging in the crowd, he can't help but sigh for it.
On the evening before the funeral, another huge carriage flew towards Hogwarts Castle. It was dragged by a dozen huge rune horses, their silver wings spread lightly and landed on the edge of the forbidden forest.
Immediately, Mrs. Maxim, who hadn't seen her for a long time, walked out of the carriage and hugged Hagrid intimately.
Almost at the same time, the delegation of the British Ministry of Magic arrived, including the current Minister Rufus Scrimgeour. And along with their group, there is unexpectedly the president of the International Wizarding Federation-the famous African wizard Babajid Akinbad.
There is no surprise that these two guests are coming. But if they come together hand in hand, it will inevitably make people suspicious.
Several members of the International Federation of Wizards had arrived first a few days ago. I thought that the incumbent Akinbad would choose to avoid suspicion, but he did not expect that he would come again, and he would still be with Scrimgeour. Coming.
After Fudge, the last minister of the British Ministry of Magic, was finished, everyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong.
However, Maca felt somewhat inferior in his heart.
Most of the two men were not suspected—Dumbledore had told him that day before and after the Merlin Medal award ceremony. Therefore, even if they are walking together, it may not be a bad thing.
Compared to these two "official" figures, Maca is more concerned about another thing...
"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you when I left the Burrow? This funeral ceremony is more for outsiders, and it is destined to be uneven, you better not come over!"
Outside the crowded auditorium, Maca frowned and looked at Harry and the others, which gave him a headache.
Fortunately, Luna is more obedient. He really stayed in her home if he said not to come. Hermione is relatively more sensible. She knew it was useless if she came, so she didn’t show up at school today. .
"Maca, we can't just sit at home!" Harry stubbornly said, "I know a lot of things will happen today, but when I think of the professors and you, they are all working hard for Hogwarts. , How can we spend our time sitting and playing cards and chess in the Burrow?"
"...Yes." Ron followed with a grunt.
He didn't seem to be as determined as Harry, but now that he came, he actually agreed with this action in his heart.
"Oh..." Maca said helplessly, "Where is Hermione? Since you are here, she is probably here too, right?"
But to Maca's surprise, Harry immediately shook his head.
"Ron and I will come over this time. Hermione will not agree." He said softly, "She sent us a letter two days ago telling us that let's come over on impulse... So today, we didn't Talk to her."
Maca froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Ron.
"She won't come, and we don't want her to come—" Ron was a lot more determined this time. "It's enough for us to be stupid. There is no need for her to be forced to follow us on adventures."
"Are you making up your mind today to use your own life in exchange for psychological comfort?" Maca said unceremoniously, and waved his hand. "Hurry back! Hogwarts will definitely do it in the future. I can use what you have, but it’s definitely not now-don’t you understand the truth?"
"We won't go back!" Harry insisted, "Didn't you say that in the orchard that day? Written knowledge is far less important than practical practice-I think this principle is also common when it comes to fighting black magic. Of!"
"Usually training is far less important than actually facing it." Ron also added.
"Yes," Harry nodded, then continued, "Furthermore, Professor Dumbledore once said—death is just another great adventure—it’s not you for the professor. Did you pass it on to us?"
He paused at this point, then looked straight at Maca and said: "I know, it’s too early to understand Dumbledore based on the two of us's ability! But if you don’t face it, When we really need to face death, how can we comprehend the truth?"
I have to say that Harry’s words really made it to the point.
Maca has always been deliberately trying to protect these friends, not wanting them to encounter too many crises. But letting them hide in shelter every time will not usher in real growth.
He is not clear about this, but it is difficult to let go.
Not to mention the boys like Harry and Ron, at least the girls like Luna, Hermione, Willie, etc., he couldn't help shielding them from the wind and rain.
In some ways, he may be a cruel person who can get rid of his heart; but in other ways, he is actually very easy to soften his heart. That's why he always laughed at himself, saying that he was just an ordinary person.
Like Dumbledore, he also loves Harry, the courageous lion cub, just as he loves other little wizards. But when necessary, he could even let Harry die last time to make sure he could live more safely in the future.
If he changed to Maca, he wouldn't be able to do this at all~IndoMTL.com~ Faced with Harry's argument and Ron's silent support, Maca rarely hesitated.
These two former classmates and current friends, although the ability is indeed not enough to deal with most of the difficulties, but he can feel their courage and responsibility.
As they grew older over the years, their bodies gradually grew taller and straighter, and Ron was even half his head taller than him.
Probably because of his own guidance and guidance, the personality of this red-haired boy has gradually drifted away from the occasional gloomy appearance in his impression, and the courage and persistence have slowly begun to appear.
On the contrary, it was Harry. Under the influence of his series of actions, his growth had obviously slowed down a lot. It's rare that he showed boldness this time, and he really shouldn't stop it.
But danger is danger after all. Not only Voldemort is far from the Voldemort in his distant memory, but even Greenward has also mixed in, plus the so-called "guilt" that confused even him. The game has become more chaotic.
Under this situation, the courage of Harry and Ron seemed too small, and they could only be described by a flame in a blizzard.
Can this single spark of fire engulf the plain? Even with this possibility, Maca is not a gambler who can bet on everything.
"...follow me."
You can't be a gambler, but the dealer can still be. No matter if you win or lose, if you can think of a way to keep your chips, it's not impossible for them both to agree.
"There is a whole night before tomorrow. Whether you can stay or not is up to you." Maca said softly as he walked, "I know you want to do something, but if it doesn't work. , So what's the difference?" Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
