"Ding... ding... ding... ding..."
Ron was holding a small hammer and a chisel, and he was pointing his hands at a rock. Every time he hit it, a piece of stone would be gently knocked off.
To be honest, in order to help Hermione make a large number of rune stone tablets, he had to develop a good stone masonry skill. But no matter what, he never imagined that his inexplicable craftsmanship would eventually be used to make Percy's tombstone.
However, at this point, maybe all he can do for Percy is this little thing!
Next to Ron, a deep rectangular pit had been dug, and Percy had been placed in a crimson coffin, parked on the other side of the pit.
The deceased was a big one, and everyone, including Mr. Blois, stood solemnly in front of the grave, waiting silently for Ron to make the tombstone with his own hands.
At this moment, no one is impatient.
"Percy... If this world is really like what Delphi said, there is a pure white space where the spiritual source of all living things gathers, then you must remember that Professor Dumbledore may be over there. Go there Don’t panic or get confused, just follow the professor! He will definitely take you in the right direction—"
Perhaps feeling something in her heart for a moment, Hermione suddenly recalled the memory of a time when she almost died at the hands of a zombie. She vaguely remembered that it seemed that it was Dumbledore who suddenly appeared and almost saved her again.
Awakened by what Delphi had said before, her memories seemed to become clearer and more vivid, and she even seemed to recall more scenes.
She vaguely remembered that Dumbledore seemed to appear in a brilliant white light. Amid the crowds of figures, he was neither human nor soul nor ghost, but he held infinite power and turned all living corpses nearby into normal corpses in the blink of an eye.
Yes, maybe... everything Delphi said is true! There really is another space, another world in this world, a world that she can't really understand yet. The other end of the spiritual will of all living things is integrated there without distinction, reflecting the earth when they are born, and returning to nothingness after death.
Of course, occasionally there are one or two misfits, such as Tom Riddle... Or, for example, Dumbledore and the witch Kern.
However, due to her limited knowledge, Hermione obviously couldn't think of it that deep. At this moment, she only had a vague realization, as if she understood something, but in fact, she didn't think of anything.
All right! At least with Hermione's intelligence, she finally understood something.
"Yes!" Although Harry didn't understand anything, he still followed, "Professor Dumbledore is 'over there'! And where he is, it must be heaven... Well, I mean, if in this world Is there really such a thing as ‘heaven’!”
"Ding!"
Suddenly, Ron hit the hammer hard again, chipping away the last bulge on the edge of the tombstone, and he put down the hammer.
"alright."
Before he finished speaking, he waved his wand and used a floating spell to make the tombstone float, and then the smaller half gradually sank into the soil behind the tomb.
It can be seen that his hand holding the wand is trembling slightly, probably because he used too much force to carve the tombstone. But even so, his floating spell was still firm, and the tombstone fell exactly where it should be.
Let's not compare with others, at least his spell casting level is already real, which shows how much energy he spends on practicing hard.
"Ginny, go take another look, and then... let Percy be buried in peace!" Hermione said softly when she saw this.
"Um."
There was a moment of silence, and Ginny, who had been silent, finally nodded. Then she was seen walking slowly to the coffin, looking at Percy's pale face under the half-open coffin lid... I don't know when, her eyes were filled with crystal tears.
"Percy... you must have seen... we have taken our home back! Soon... really soon... Mom and Dad will be back soon, along with Bill, Charlie, Fred, and George … They will all come back. From now on, our family can live together forever—"
"Yes, we will live together forever!" Harry also stood behind Ginny, looking at Percy's face with slightly closed eyes and said, "Ginny and I have already agreed that even if we get married in the future, we will still be together. I'll make my home around here - anyway, you know, I don't have a home in the first place."
After saying a few words, Ginny, who had always been holding on, finally couldn't help but sob and cry. The tears quickly wet the skirt of her clothes and fell on the withered yellow grass blades at her feet.
"Is this... a separation between life and death? It seems to be a different feeling from Phillips' funeral."
Sarah looked forward silently, then suddenly raised her hand and touched her chest lightly. She seemed to feel an unknown tingling deep in her heart.
This may be another feeling she has never been exposed to before.
But not far next to her, Delphi, who was standing there with a staff, just watched all of this calmly, as if she had long been accustomed to many things.
"Bury me!"
The next moment, Ginny suddenly pursed her lips and said this.
"good."
Harry nodded, turned around and looked at Ron again, and then the two of them closed the coffin lid, lifted up the thick rope under the coffin, and sank Percy's coffin to the bottom of the pit with their own hands.
And at this moment, Ron, who had just pulled out the rope, suddenly turned around, looked behind everyone and said:
"Mr. Blois, you are the eldest person here and our elder... Can I ask you to say a few eulogies for Percy before laying the foundation?"
Hearing these words, Sarah on the side couldn't help but secretly raise her eyebrows, and Blois himself couldn't help being surprised for a while.
Ron's proposal was beyond everyone's expectations, especially a certain person involved.
"Me? Is it suitable?" After all, Blois was still the calm Blois. After a short pause, he asked with some doubts.
"Of course," Ron nodded immediately, "You are a senior that Maka also trusts very much, and since the outbreak of this disaster, you have helped us a lot without asking for anything in return. This kindness is worthy of all of us. Respect...I believe that Percy thinks the same way!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but lower his head and glance into the tomb, then stretched out his hand and said:
"Mr. Blois, there is no need to refuse, please come!"
It can be said that Ron's words indeed showed an unprecedented maturity that he would have never been able to say before.
However, I don’t know how Blois feels in his heart at this moment.
