These words made everyone here couldn't help thinking about it.
Who is the "she" in this population
A former lover of Dumbledore? What does that have to do with the old man.
As we all know, Albus Dumbledore did not have a wife or heirs in his life, and he devoted his life to maintaining peace in the wizarding world.
Now someone suddenly broke in and uttered nonsense at Dumbledore's memorial service. It seems that he is still his "rival in love"
The news was announced at the funeral.
Maybe it will become the hottest gossip news tomorrow, and it will be the new headline of the "Daily Prophet".
"What do you want to do?" Professor McGonagall stood up from his seat and asked, looking at him with eagle-like sharp eyes, raised his wand, and aimed at this man. She did not allow anyone to slander and smear Dumbledore.
Especially at his memorial service.
The others also looked at him with some hostility.
Some people in the audience also began to talk about it, and there were many people who knew the old man. Many of them had been to the Pig's Head Bar, but they didn't know that the owner of the bar had a grudge with Dumbledore.
He ignored it, turned a deaf ear to it, then took a few steps closer, and quickly kicked the coffin hard.
Finally, with a big wave of his hand, he dropped a package made of coarse cloth and hit it, making a crisp sound of metal collision.
He then said in a rough voice: "These are the extra money you paid over the years, I don't care."
After finishing speaking, the old man strode away from the auditorium again, and no one stopped him.
They were just puzzled, because with Dumbledore's reputation, no one except evil forces would have such a big hatred against him.
Maybe it was because there were only clothes inside, they didn't do anything tough to the old man.
If Dumbledore's body was really here, no matter how slow they reacted, it would be impossible for the intruders to make such an outrageous move.
It's just that no one noticed that when the tall figure of the old man reached the end of the path where everyone could see, he had become extremely stooped. The old man wiped the corners of his eyes.
"But what's the use of me doing this? Maybe she will forgive you too?" The old man walked to the lake, looked at the endless deep lake, and sighed.
His brother died, and no matter how much he hated and hated him, Dumbledore was his last living relative after all.
The current Aberforth has lost even the sustenance of hatred.
"He's the keeper of that nasty Hog's Head, the one who charges us four Sickles for a butterbeer."
After Aberforth made a fuss and left, Ron then turned his head away and whispered to Harry beside him that he was still bitter about the old man for charging a few Sickles too much.
Harry nodded numbly, expressing that he also had a little impression of him.
After this episode was over, the funeral went on and the little man continued his eulogy.
And also at this time.
A long-lost visitor ushered in the underground warehouse of Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England, which was far away from Hogwarts.
The word visitor seems to be inappropriate, because he himself is the little master of this manor.
There are many discarded items in the warehouse. A magic clock made of pure gold is hung on the wall. The faint gold-plated layer on the pendulum has peeled off at some point, leaving only a black color.
On the dial, the time is represented by elegantly engraved ancient Roman numerals.
The clock is still running, but the hands are very abnormal.
Every minute passed, the second hand of the clock swayed a few times with an extremely dry, tooth-sickening creak.
Of course it was treated as scrap.
There are also some worn-out books with rolled up skins, scattered on the dusty ground.
A burst of light flickered with the opening and closing of the iron door, shining on the dark stone slab, and then there was a crisp sound of metal impact.
The light came in and cast a long, narrow shadow.
The owner of the shadow is Draco Malfoy.
He returned to his long-lost home.
Just at the first time, he didn't find his parents.
Instead, he came to the quiet underground warehouse that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time.
Malfoy walked slowly to the corner, and a huge wardrobe stood in front of his eyes.
The two corners seem to be covered with spider webs. .
On one side of the cabinet is a floor-to-ceiling mirror made of copper.
Malfoy glanced at himself in the glasses.
He hadn't paid attention to his appearance for a long time.
The young man in the mirror is still handsome, his pale face has darkened a bit, and the stubble has not been cleaned too much, but he still has a resolute and mature temperament.
As for the clothes on his body, he was the most common brown jacket and a pair of wear-resistant jeans.
He didn't know how many wizard robes he changed on the way, and they wore out very quickly during the adventure.
In the end, I chose a slightly stronger clothing, because it is also suitable for action. Dragging a long robe to adventure in the wild is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.
Not long ago, he came back from afar.
Because he got a very urgent news.
The intensity of the arrest was much smaller, and coupled with his current magical attainments, he was easily rushed back.
He needs to rush to Hogwarts, but going in through the main entrance is not a good choice no matter how you think about it.
He also thought about using the apparition of the house elves. Their magic system is separate and self-contained, so they can break through the limitations of wizards.
But Malfoy still gave up on this decision, the actions of the two will always bring some inconvenience.
Except for the person opposite the double-sided mirror, no one knows that he has returned.
"After solving this matter, we should report their safety." Malfoy said in his heart.
In addition to her parents, there is another girl who must be very worried about her safety.
But now is not the time to feel sad.
Time was short, he then slowly unrolled a roll of old and yellowed parchment, spread it flat on his left hand, then raised his wand, illuminating the room.
Malfoy began to observe with the help of the faint light, and did not miss any part of the map made of black ink dots.
For example, he saw that the current head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic—Rufus Scrimgeour was on his way,
And Cornelius Fudge, the former Minister of Magic who had been kicked out long ago, and now a wealthy idler, also became a small black spot on the Marauder's map, slowly approaching the Hogwarts auditorium.
Afterwards, his gaze stayed on the long and narrow corridor on the second floor of the castle. There was no one there, no black spots.
It is also where the Hogwarts Vanishing Cabinet is located.
After confirming that there was no one near the place where the disappearing cabinet was located, Malfoy stepped into the cabinet after taking a deep breath.
A burst of strong pressure from all directions seemed to squeeze him for a moment, and then the force disappeared in an instant. The wonderful sense of peeling and shuttling was like apparition. He first felt his body become nothingness, and then condensed into shape , appeared in Hogwarts in an instant.
Apparition cannot be used on the Hogwarts campus, which is a rule set by the four founders thousands of years ago.
Of course, the maintenance of the rules requires the support of strength, and it is the prohibition they jointly set to take effect.
At this time, on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, there were some corridors near the girls' bathroom, and no one would pay attention to a broken cabinet.
In particular, it seemed that there was some danger before, throwing things into it, and those things would disappear.
It's just that these are actually a pair of disappearing cabinets. .
The one at home has been repaired by Malfoy, and the two cabinets are connected.
However, even if you use the Marauder's Map to carefully observe the surrounding situation.
There were still unexpected omissions.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabinet door, Malfoy turned around and closed the cabinet immediately, then stretched out his wand, and cast a confusion spell and expulsion spell on the cabinet.
"Confused!"
Returning to the campus where he had been away for a long time, Malfoy was in a slightly complicated mood, and some memories unconsciously surfaced in his mind.
It's just that now is not the time to hesitate, and there is no extra time to make him sad.
Just when he took care of everything and was about to go to his destination, an accident happened again.
Before he took a few steps, he saw a female ghost floating in the air not far from him. She was wearing a plain gray-black robe, with long straight but somewhat dry black hair draped over her shoulders. A pair of thick glasses, tightly leaning against a half-naked bather mural on the dark wall.
The female ghost seemed to be taken aback, and then stared at him blankly with the dull eyes hidden under the glasses.
"It seems that my luck is not very good." Malfoy said inwardly, shrugging slightly helplessly.
Myrtle should have floated out of the girls' bathroom just now, the black dot representing her name just now is not here yet.
"You are...you are the student who ran away last year, my God, I have to tell the professors!" The crying Myrtle seemed to have realized it at this time, screaming loudly, His face was full of horror.
Obviously dead, I don't know why she still has the emotion of fear.
There's never going to be another death, worse than this, right
Of course, maybe she is right to be afraid, there are indeed some things in the world that are more terrifying than death.
At this moment, falling into a state of madness and wanting to run away in a hurry, Myrtle who tipped off the news seemed to be frozen for an instant.
It was as if a fixed spell had been cast on it, and it was stuck in mid-air.
"Don't think you don't have a body, I can't do anything about you, please be honest and quiet, this is a win-win decision for us." Malfoy waved his wand, made his own response, and then cried warned Myrtle.
Her spirit body suddenly fell from mid-air, and seemed to be rigidly put on a set of dusty armor in the corridor. She had no mouth, could not speak, but could move, and the rusty armor creaked on the ground. There was a loud noise, walking on the ground, shaking off the dust on the ground.
It is not uncommon to have such guards in magic schools, and it may not be very noticeable.
Even if he was discovered, Malfoy should have left by then.
As for why Malfoy took the risk and went to Hogwarts with the help of the disappearing cabinet
Purpose is a legacy left by Dumbledore.
That's a message from the two-way mirror.
After solving Moaning Myrtle's troubles, Malfoy quickened his pace, and from long corridors and spiral staircases one after another appeared before him, and then disappeared.
Because his pace is fast, like a whirlwind.
These places were empty, and there was no one there.
Same as on the Marauder's map.
Almost everyone gathered in the auditorium, still attending Dumbledore's funeral.
In the auditorium at this time, people were staring at the coffin in front of them with solemn expressions.
Malfoy was running fast in the corridor, watching the Marauder's Map with his sharp eyes from time to time. He walked up the stairs step by step, and finally stopped in front of the huge ugly stone monster. In front of his eyes, behind the monster The dark stone wall blocked his way.
"Tears of the Phoenix" Malfoy said softly to the monster, it suddenly came to life, jumped to the side, the wall behind it split in two, revealing a stone staircase.
He walked up the revolving ladder, and then another door blocked his way.
"Dumbledore!" Malfoy said again to a griffin-shaped brass knocker in front of the gleaming oak door, which swung open again.
I don't know when, a double spell was placed here to strengthen the protection.
Not just downstairs, but also at the door.
Malfoy needs to come here to take something.
He slowly walked into the spacious circular room and began to search for it.
And in the auditorium at the moment.
Dumbledore's memorial service continued.
Most of the people looked solemn, especially the students and teachers. Most of them were staring at the coffin with reddish eyes, and some were sad.
Hermione's eyes are very red now, and her expression is still a little dazed until now. So far, she still can't believe the truth of all this.
The kind old man with a smile on his face almost always left them forever.
Where is beyond the veil, no one knows.
A thin silk curtain simply separates the two worlds of Yin and Yang. It is the only visible path leading to death in the world. No living person can return from that place alive.
Perhaps the symbol behind the curtain is not real death, no one knows, but for the living, there is no difference at all.
The living can no longer see those who have fallen into the veil, so what is the difference from death
There are countless black and white wizards who study souls, trying to communicate with the world behind the veil, summoning the lost souls, but without success.
Only the Resurrection Stone, the Deathly Hallows that summons the souls of all normally dead humans, can barely break this limit.
But, who can own the resurrection stone
It was destroyed long ago.
What's more, what the resurrection stone summons is nothing more than an illusion. After briefly satisfying the longing for reuniting with relatives or lovers, they will fall into a more desperate sense of emptiness.
