Ivan couldn't help thinking wildly, if Voldemort suddenly appeared at Hogwarts...

At this moment, Professor McGonagall stood up, and the mournful whispers in the auditorium immediately fell silent.

"It's almost time," she said, "follow your Headmaster to the grounds, and the Gryffindors will follow me."

Alvin stood up and followed the team forward.

They came out in a single file from behind the benches, hardly making a sound.

Standing at the head of the Slytherin line was Slughorn, in a splendid emerald green embroidered with silver thread.

Beside him, Professor Sprout, Head of Hufflepuff, was also dressed more neatly than ever, with not a single patch on his hat.

There is also Professor Flitwick, who is wearing a purple salute with blue lace, but Ivan can't see him now.

In fact, everyone puts on their most stately and formal attire.

When they walked to the foyer, Ivan also found Mrs. Pince standing beside Filch, wearing a thick black mask that fell to her knees.

Filch wore an old-fashioned suit and tie, and reeked of mothballs.

Everyone went out of the castle gate and came outside. They were heading towards the lake.

It was one of the most beautiful and pleasant days in summer, the weather was fine, the sun was shining warmly, and there were thousands of chairs in rows on the open space in front of the lake.

Half of the seats were already filled with people, and they were all kinds of people: some were blond, some had oriental faces; some were ragged, some were neat and tidy;

Most of them are unknown to Aiwen, but some strangers are familiar to him. He has seen their portraits and names in various magic books.

These people are all accomplished in various fields of magic, and they all know Dumbledore well.

On the outermost side of the chair, all the other members of the Order of the Phoenix sat there, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill and Fleur, Fred and George in black dragon leather jackets, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the madman who had not fully recovered. Eye-catching Moody.

And Tonks, her hair miraculously turned brilliant pink again.

Beside her was Remus Lupine, with whom Tonks held hands.

Maybe it's because of the death of the rogue Fenrir Greyback, and Lupine's revenge; or because of what Lupine and Tonks went through together in the battle a few days ago; or...

Anyway, suddenly, Lupine, who had been avoiding Tonks for so long, suddenly accepted her, which brought Tonks to life, as shown by the color of her hair.

By the way, there are Hagrid and Madam Maxime, the two of them are particularly eye-catching, occupying the positions of about five to six people.

Hagrid was very depressed, and Madam Maxime was whispering something to him.

In addition, Ivan also saw Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, the thick-haired double bass player in the Weird Sisters singing group, Ern Pulan, a knight bus driver, and Mo Jin from the Diagon Alley Robe Store. Ma'am, the witch pushing the trolley on the Hogwarts Express.

And, of course, the waiter at the Hog's Head, Dumbledore's brother: Aberforth Dumbledore.

There was no expression on his face, and he sat there very low-key, and no one else seemed to know his identity except Ivan.

On the left, the vampires are all there, next to them are the Hogwarts ghosts.

They are barely visible in direct sunlight and are only recognizable when walking around, glowing illusory in the bright air.

By the lake, the centaur Firenze stood like a sentinel, and Sirius was already standing beside him.

Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, Gabriel, Ginny, and Ron sat in the last few seats of the row of chairs by the lake in turn.

People were talking to each other in whispers like a breeze blowing through the grass, and the birds were singing loudly.

The crowd was still pouring in, including Hogwarts students and wizards who came in from outside the school.

Cornelius Fudge walked past them toward the front row, scowling, twirling his cuckold hat as usual.

Later, Ivan saw Rita Skeeter, she was sitting in an inconspicuous position, holding a crimson notebook in her red paw-like hand, on which the gorgeous green quill was constantly writing what.

Noticing Ai Wen's gaze, she smiled awkwardly, her eyes dodged, but the sliding quill didn't stop.

Immediately afterwards, there was a suppressed angry roar from Harry, Hermione touched Ivan, he turned his head, and saw Umbridge who hadn't seen him for a long time.

She was sitting among the officials of the Ministry of Magic, with a black velvet butterfly in her iron-brown hair, and no sadness was visible on that toad's face.

Umbridge seemed to have recovered from the huge pain, at least there was nothing wrong with it on the surface, but she had been carefully peeking at the Forbidden Forest not far away, as if she was afraid that something would rush in from inside. come out……

Finally, everyone was seated.

At the head of everyone, Scrimgeour was with Professor McGonagall, with the other big shots sitting beside them.

Scrimgeour looked dark, dignified, and stately.

Ivan doesn't know how he spent these days, but judging from the news that has come out so far, the situation in the Ministry of Magic is a mess.

It would have been much worse if Voldemort hadn't planned to mess up before Dumbledore's funeral was over.

If so, he should feel sad for Dumbledore's departure, right?

Chapter 1530 White Grave

At this time, music sounded in the open space on the shore of the lake.

The voice is ethereal, like fairy music from another world.

Hearing the sound suddenly, many heads turned and searched, with a little surprise.

Ivan was also a little distracted, but soon realized that it was the voice of a mermaid.

He noticed that Hermione had found it, and that Elaine and Gabriel were still looking, looking dazed.

Ai Wen touched the two of them and motioned them to look to the left.

In the sunlit clear green water, just inches below the surface, a chorus of mermaids sang in a strange language unintelligible to man, their pale faces wavering, Purple hair floated around them.

The music made the hairs on the back of the neck stand on end, but it wasn't harsh.

It speaks plainly of sorrow and despair, and the faces of the mermaids, who are emotional and extremely sad, are reflected in the water.

Hagrid also rose to his feet, accompanied by sad music.

Under Madam Maxim's comfort, Hagrid nodded, raised his hand and wiped his red and swollen eyes from crying, picked up the portrait of Dumbledore wrapped in purple velvet covered with gold stars on his lap, and walked along Walking slowly along the aisle between the seats.

Since there was no body of Dumbledore, the funeral ceremony was carried out in this way.

Dumbledore in the photo is as kind, kind and wise as usual, with a smile on his face, just like the first time Ivan saw him at Hogwarts when he was enrolled.

People started crying, tears were falling, and Hermione, Ginny, and Gabriel were all wiping away tears.

Only Elaine blinked, tilted her head and looked at Ivan, without crying.

In her past experience, she has witnessed too many deaths.

Her parents, clansmen, enemies killed by vampires, and weak lives who died one after another on the Norwegian permafrost and in the dark underground world...

No matter how well Keresis protected her, Elaine still witnessed the departure of these lives. Death itself is a part of vampires. She is probably used to it and doesn't think it is something worth crying. What's more, she knew from Aiwen that Dumbledore was not actually dead!He just left this world because of the magic left by Salazar Slytherin, just as their clan was doomed because of another Slytherin magic...

But after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Elaine confirmed to Ivan alone, is it possible that her parents are not dead like Professor Dumbledore?Just went to another world, will come back one day, when the magic is over...

Facing Elaine, Ivan didn't know how to answer this heavy question.

Finally, he repeated what Dumbledore had said.

Death is not the end, but the beginning of another great journey, which only the most courageous can go on.

If one day they also embark on this journey, they will meet them eventually.

……

Hagrid placed the portrait carefully on the middle table, then turned and walked back down the aisle, blowing his nose vigorously and making a sound like a trumpet, and some people gave him dissatisfied looks, including many Lores Umbridge...

But she immediately ignored Hagrid. Umbridge suddenly screamed loudly. Although it stopped abruptly, it was still extremely harsh in the solemn funeral. Everyone turned their heads to look at her. His face was extremely pale, as if he had exhausted all his strength in an instant.

Following Umbridge's line of sight, Ivan turned his head to understand what was going on.

The giant Grop staggered out of the Forbidden Forest and was waving at Hagrid.

He didn't see Umbridge, because after she screamed, she quickly turned her head back, and under the looking eyes of everyone, she smiled awkwardly, trying to hide it, but the smile was very reluctant, and it looked very Ugly, complex expressions of disgust, fear, shock, embarrassment and other emotions flashed across his face.

The funeral continued, and no one investigated Umbridge's gaffe. Only a few officials of the Ministry of Magic shook their heads helplessly. Their senior deputy minister has been very abnormal since he returned from Hogwarts last summer. , who knows what disease he made again.

But Hagrid didn't return to his original seat. He walked to the back and sat down next to Gropp. Gropp was wearing a jacket and trousers the size of a small tent. With his ugly head bowed, he seemed docile, even understanding, and he seemed to have grasped the meaning of the occasion that was going on.

I have to say, long time no see, Glop has indeed improved a lot.

……

Behind Hagrid, Professor McGonagall stepped forward and placed Dumbledore's Elder Wand in front of her portrait, at which point the music stopped.

A small, bushy-haired man in a plain black robe got up from his seat, stood in front of Dumbledore's portrait, and began to speak.He didn't use magic to raise his voice, just the occasional phrase that floated back over hundreds of heads, "noble spirit", "academic maturity", "great heart" and so on...

This is the image of Dumbledore in front of other wizards. He is the greatest wizard in the world, the strongest white wizard. The existence of it supports the good wizards to fight against evil.

Dumbledore has become a symbol, synonymous with great wizards.

But at Hogwarts, in the hearts of the students, Dumbledore has always been their approachable headmaster, a role model they are proud of and learn from, the one who invented "Stupid!" The "twisted" white bearded professor...

The sound of splashing water came one after another from the left, and more and more mermaids surfaced.

All the merfolk from the nearby waters had come to the funeral, and they were all listening.

Then, there was a sudden commotion in the Forbidden Forest.

The centaurs also came to express their condolences, and instead of coming out into the clearing, they stood half hidden in the shadows, looking motionless at the wizards on this side.

They watched here in silence, bows and arrows at their sides.

Under the direct sunlight, Ivan sighed. It doesn't matter whether Dumbledore really died or temporarily left because of magic. They lost the most amazing guardian, and the rest of the battle depends on themselves.

Finally, the little man finished his monotonous speech and returned to his seat.

No one stood up to speak anymore, and no one moved, including the Minister and Professor McGonagall.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone was silently waiting.

Suddenly, several people screamed.

From the end of the Elder Wand, blinding white flames shot out around Dumbledore's portrait and the table: the flames rose higher and higher, obscuring everything.White smoke curled up into the air, taking on all sorts of strange shapes.At that moment, people seemed to see a phoenix happily flying up into the blue sky from the flames, accompanied by the unique song of the phoenix, but then the flame disappeared, and a white marble tomb appeared there, putting everything in the sky. in……

Chapter 1531 New Chapter

At the same time as the flames disappeared, countless arrows hid in the air like a shower, causing a few screams, but they fell far away from the crowd.Aiwen knew that this was the mourning of the horse people.He saw them turn and disappear among the shady trees.The murlocs also sank slowly into the green bottom, and were never seen again.

Dumbledore's funeral is over and a new chapter begins!

"We are going to start a war!" Ivan stood up and said softly.

At this moment, there was a loud wail in the clearing, and Hagrid finally couldn't help crying, his voice echoing on the lake.

Gropp hugged him too, weeping.

People walked around the two of them one after another, and Ivan's gaze followed the crowd to Hogwarts Castle, trying to keep it in his heart.

Then, he looked down and saw that Harry had Ginny in his arms, talking to her in a low voice.

He knew that Harry was saying goodbye to Ginny.

In the past few days, the two of them have discussed separately, and they both decided to complete the remaining things alone, leave Hogwarts, fight Voldemort and Death Eaters, destroy the remaining Horcruxes and find Slytherin and Hufflepuff. It is Harry's fate and Ivan's mission to find the key to Odd's secret treasure.

To put it in a vulgar way, it is to save the magic world!

Although Aiwen didn't think he was so noble, he was doing it unmistakably.

He and Harry had to do these things, but the others didn't have to risk it, even if they didn't care.

Ivan thought about it. Due to the intervention of evil gods and ancient wizards, the current situation has become very dangerous. He didn't want Hermione, Elaine and others to follow the risk.

Hogwarts was closing, or worse, being taken over by Voldemort.

But they can stay at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius, Lupine and Kelexis are still there, and they will protect them during Aiwen's absence.

Or, they could go back to Beauxbatons with Gabriel. Voldemort's power will not seriously affect the operation of the French magic world in a short time.

If it doesn't work, Ivan also considered letting Hermione leave the UK with her parents.

He felt that after returning this summer vacation, he would personally cast a spell on his parents, and the Order of the Phoenix would send them out.

At that time, Hermione and her parents can also go with them.

Aiwen's father has also expanded his real estate business in China in recent years, and they can go there, which is an area that Voldemort and Death Eaters cannot touch.

There are two mysterious magic schools in China, one of which has a history older than Hogwarts. There are many magic books there, which are not seen here. Hermione will definitely be interested.

Aiwen still remembered that a few years ago, Dumbledore had promised to help him get an exchange student place, and he didn't know if he succeeded.

Beside Harry, Ron seemed a little dazed, not getting up from his chair.
