Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"It's Snape..."

"That doesn't matter, Harry!" Ivan said, stopping to look at Harry. "In fact, Snape's hands are much better than others, at least better than Malfoy's."

"What do you mean? Dumbledore trusted Snape, but he..."

"Snape killing Dumbledore can help him gain Voldemort's trust, which is beneficial to us." Ivan said, "Snape is a member of the Order of the Phoenix."

"You still trust him?" Harry clenched his fists and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, because Dumbledore trusts him." Ivan said, "Harry, I know what you are thinking, but the truth of the matter may not be what you see. Dumbledore trusts Snape, so we should Trust him."

"Even if he killed Dumbledore?!" Harry raised his voice, "You weren't there, Ivan, you didn't see that picture. Dumbledore was begging Snape, but he was unmoved. It was not an arranged thing at all, Snape was a vile coward who killed Dumbledore for his own sake, he is not as noble as you think."

"Perhaps, time will tell." Ivan sighed and said, Harry's prejudice against Snape cannot be resolved with a few words.

Just like Hagrid still doesn't believe that Dumbledore will die, this is a thought firmly ingrained in their hearts.

Snape, he is an excellent double agent, can be described as great, he endured the unbearable pain of ordinary people.

If Ivan hadn't known the unknown truth, he might have doubted Snape like Harry.

"Listen, Harry, the most important thing for us now is to conceal the fact that Dumbledore left because of magic, and not let Voldemort know that he actually went to another dimension. We have to tell other people that he is dead, and that he is dead. Nep killed, that's all!"

"Will he come back to life then?" Harry asked.

"I believe there will be such a day." Aiwen clenched the double snake staff, raised his head to look at the starry sky, and said slowly, "Otherwise, we will go find him."

Chapter 1523 Phoenix Elegy

Noticing that Ivan and Harry stopped, Hagrid urged impatiently again, and he became a little irritable.

Although he stubbornly believed that nothing would happen to Dumbledore, the words of Ivan and Harry, as well as the double snake staff in Ivan's hand, stimulated Hagrid's increasingly sensitive nerves all the time.

Dumbledore was dead, and the news took root in his mind, lingering like the sky was falling.

The light in the darkness disappears, and the world will be enveloped in endless sadness and despair.

Alvin, Harry, and Hagrid moved forward silently, the castle's oak doors were open in front of them, and the lights shone on the driveway and lawn.

Slowly, the crowd in pajamas came down the stairs suspiciously, looking around nervously, looking for the traces left by the Death Eaters who had fled in the night.

In addition, there is also the terrible news that is spreading rapidly among the crowd.

Silently, but everyone seemed to know it.

Just now, Ivan and Hermione were not the only ones who saw Dumbledore fall off the astronomy tower.

A lot of people came out, their eyes were sleepy, they were awakened by the sound of fighting from inside the castle, and they still haven't figured out what happened.

Then, unprepared to see that terrible scene.

Under the shining Dark Mark, Dumbledore fell from the highest tower of the castle...

Many people were looking for evidence to confirm all that, but no one found Dumbledore's body.

That scene seemed to be an illusion, like a dream, the worst nightmare.

But this did not make everyone feel safe. Gradually, as members of the Order of the Phoenix also joined the search team, anxiety and panic began to pervade.

Weird music sounded somewhere in the darkness, and it soon filled Hogwarts.

The phoenix is ​​singing a moving sad elegy in a way that wizards have never heard before, just like listening to the song of the phoenix before, the tune of this elegy is played in everyone's mind, not in reality.

Sorrow turned into dirges, echoing across the schoolyard and from the windows of the castle.

Everyone heard it, even the most deranged Death Eater shed tears.

"The song of the phoenix is ​​magical, and it grieves only when it loses its closest friend."

A hoarse voice sounded beside Ivan, and he turned around to see a blackness thicker than the night, which was Keresis Slytherin.

He walked over holding Elaine's hand. Keresis's body was covered with battle marks, his face was bleeding, and his elegant robe was torn.

"I've never heard the elegy of the Phoenix." He said flatly, "The death of only one person in Hogwarts will make the Phoenix so sad. There is no doubt that we lost one of the greatest wizards tonight."

Under the influence of Dirge of the Phoenix, accepting the fact that Dumbledore died is not so difficult.

Even if the body was not found in the end, there were so many witnesses who saw Dumbledore fall.

Harry's testimony played a key role in completing what happened at the observatory and explaining Snape's unusual behavior.

At the same time, the captured Death Eaters couldn't wait to announce how Snape killed Dumbledore, for fear that no one would know.

After meeting with Ivan and Harry at the school hospital, Professor McGonagall announced the news in public.

Obviously, Dumbledore had made arrangements and ordered this matter before his death, but no one except Ivan and Harry knew that Dumbledore just left, and everyone thought he was really dead.

Because of the terrible magic of the Double Snake Staff, he didn't even leave his body behind.

Professor McGonagall took away the old wand in Ivan's hand, which is the most direct proof of Dumbledore's death.

A wizard only loses his wand when he is defeated or dies.

No one can defeat Dumbledore, not even Voldemort, he was just sneak attacked by someone despicably, and then died...

Accepting the fact that Dumbledore died was not as easy as imagined, no matter how many people saw it, after all, Dumbledore's body was not found in the end.

People are more willing to believe that Dumbledore disappeared, or left for something, as he usually does, than death.

Even if this kind of thinking does not conform to common sense, there are still many people who stubbornly believe in it.

Not only the students, Hagrid, but also many professors at the school and members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Sirius Black.

Ivan will never forget Sirius' frantic expression when they said that Dumbledore was dead.

Back to a quarter of an hour ago, in Phoenix's sad elegy, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine were taken to the school hospital.

A lot of people were there, and Ginny was sitting by Ron's hospital bed. He had been hit by an explosion during the battle at the Astronomy Tower, but he wasn't seriously injured, and Pomfrey thought he'd make a full recovery.

In addition, Professor Flitwick was also knocked out.

The most seriously injured was Mad-Eye Moody, who was already very old. He was in a hurry to climb up the Astronomy Tower and was hit by three curses at the same time.

But he was still alive, and only three Death Eaters died in the battle, two of them were hit by the flying Killing Curse, and the remaining one fell to his death while running away.

By the way, there is also the ronin Fenrir Greyback who was solved by Ivan, he was probably the worst one to die.

Speaking of Greyback, one has to mention Bill.

While advancing towards Gryffindor Tower, Greyback encountered Bill and attacked him.

Fortunately in misfortune, Greyback wanted to avenge Ivan at that time, and he didn't bite Bill, so he didn't have to worry about him becoming a werewolf.

As soon as Aiwen and the others entered the ward, they were hugged by Sirius who came up.

I haven't seen him for a few months, he is much thinner than before, and his hair is messy, a bit like when they first met him three years ago.

There is no reunion and joy after a long separation, and the air is still occupied by sadness.

The topic quickly shifted to the phoenix elegy and Dumbledore's death just now. When Ivan confirmed the news of Dumbledore's death, Sirius completely lost control!

"Impossible!" he cried. "He can't die! No one can kill Dumbledore!"

Lupine was just as out of control as he was, but he didn't yell, and sat slumped in a chair with his face in his hands.

Alvin had never seen Lupine like this before. He turned around, as if seeing some unseemly privacy, and he had no way to tell them the truth.

Ivan noticed that Harry also lowered his head, silently holding Ginny's hand.

The conversation continued after Sirius had vented for a while, but it didn't last long.

When Sirius knew that Snape had killed Dumbledore, he rushed out frantically and recklessly, and Tonks hurried to follow.

Others, although not as violent as Sirius' reaction, seemed to find it hard to believe this difficult fact.

Dumbledore's death was terrible enough, and Snape's killing him directly shattered everyone's remaining psychological defenses.

Chapter 1524 Follow-up

Soon, the door of the ward was opened again.

Professor McGonagall walked in with a haggard look. She also had marks from the battle on her body, with some scratches on her face, and her robe was also torn.

"What the hell is going on? The Phoenix Fox is very abnormal, it has been chirping sadly; and Sirius, he just yelled and ran into the room where the Death Eaters were imprisoned, asking where Professor Snape was, as if he was being disturbed What excitement." She said, "There was chaos in the castle, where is Professor Dumbledore? Many people said they saw him fall from the tower, Harry, Tonks told me that you were with Dumbledore Professor Lido was together, and she also said that Professor Snape seemed to be involved in something."

She asked a lot of questions in a row, as if she didn't know about it yet.

"Dumbledore is dead, Professor!"

"Snape killed Dumbledore," Harry continued.

McGonagall stared at him for a moment, then shook heart-wrenchingly.

Madam Pomfrey ran forward a few steps, conjured a chair with magic, and placed it behind McGonagall.

"You say Snape... killed Dumbledore?"

Harry nodded silently, he didn't want to say that anymore.

Every time he mentions it, his rage is the same as that of an out-of-control Sirius.

He wished he could kill Snape immediately, even if Ivan had told him before that it was all arranged.

After so long, instead of being calm, Harry became even more engraved with hatred.

He thought about the scene where Snape killed Dumbledore, and what he said when he confronted Snape just now.

About his father, the Half-Blood Prince, and Snape's anger...

Harry didn't care now if it was part of the plan, he knew he hated Snape more than he hated Voldemort.

"I can't believe that Albus had a premonition of his death before, and he told me that he was performing a dangerous magic, the magic left by the founder of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, but I didn't I thought, I didn't expect to..." Professor McGonagall murmured.

"Dumbledore used the two-snake staff." Ivan said, pointing to the magic staff surrounded by giant pythons beside the bed, "The two-snake staff is a legendary magic item left by Salazar Slytherin. It has Extremely powerful magical power, using it requires a huge price. Dumbledore has lost his magical power, and after his death, his body was also swallowed by magic!"

There was another long silence, and everyone in the room seemed to acquiesce to Ivan's statement.

They looked at the double snake sticks, and looked at the two green pythons with closed eyes above them with suspicion and horror.

Soon, the topic returned to the matter of Dumbledore's death.

"Well, I thought of Dumbledore...but I didn't think it would be Snape who killed him."

"Snape is a very good master of Occlumency," said Lupine, his voice harsh and different from usual, "that's a fact we all know."

"But Dumbledore swore he was on our side. I always thought that Dumbledore must know something about Snape that we didn't know..."

"He's always implying that he has unbreakable reasons to trust Snape," said Professor McGonagall sadly, wiping the corners of his tearful eyes with a plaid lace handkerchief, "I mean, from Snape's history... Of course everyone will have doubts about him, but Dumbledore told me clearly that Snape's confession is absolutely from the heart, and he doesn't want to hear a bad word about him!"

"I'd like to know how Snape convinced him."

"I know!" Harry said angrily, and everyone turned to stare at him, "Snape once revealed information to Voldemort, which caused Voldemort to hunt down my parents. Then Snape told Dumbledore that he hadn't Realizing the consequences of what he did, he is very sorry that he leaked information, and he regrets their deaths."

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became, and when he thought of what he saw in Snape's memory, strong hatred surged up. Now he has completely ignored what Ivan told him, and Dumbledore In the matter of leaving this world tonight.

Harry felt betrayed like never before, and Snape used his parents' deaths to gain Dumbledore's trust.

He clearly repented, and now it is proven that all this is false.

"Dumbledore believed him when he said he was sorry?!" Lupine asked in disbelief. "Dumbledore believed him just because he said that? Snape was sorry for James' death? My God Ah, Snape has always hated James..."

"And he doesn't think my mother's worth anything!" said Harry. "Because she's Muggle-born, he calls her 'Mudblood'..."

No one doubted what Harry said, and no one asked Harry how he knew this, because everyone was lost in horror and shock, trying to accept these absurd facts that had happened, Ivan opened his mouth, and in the end nothing happened. Without saying, Snape kept his love for Harry's mother hidden too deep.

He has no way to explain how he knows this, and even if he tells it, no one will believe it.

Before it was time to tell the truth of the whole thing, Snape had endured so much.

His and Dumbledore's plan has come to an end, and Ivan just needs to let it go.

Is the truth needed now?

No, what is needed now is to convince everyone that Dumbledore is dead, that he was betrayed and killed by Snape.

No one spoke anymore, and a great grief hung over Hogwarts.

Fox's elegy still echoed in the pitch-black arena, and the music throbbed in the air.

Tonight, Hogwarts has no sleep!

Hogwarts will lose her headmaster tonight!

The night grows longer and the dawn is far away.
