HP: White Lord of Slytherin

With the Unbreakable Vow's promise fully fulfilled, Gloria began to care about other things.

The first was Tonks. When she and Draco left to see Dumbledore's 'body', no one was there to witness Tonks' confession to Lupin.

After a few days of struggling, perhaps because the situation was too tense, they decided to be together.

In the house in London, Tonks and Lupin sat together, with Gloria sitting opposite them.

"I can understand that you decided to be in a relationship, but why do you want to get married so soon?"

She had only been home for one day when Tonks told her that she and Lupin were going to get married in Scotland in July.

"We have seriously considered getting married." Tonks said, looking at Lupin sweetly, "No one knows whether they can survive to tomorrow. I don't want to have any regrets."

"We love each other sincerely." Lupin held her hand. "Tonks is funny and cheerful... I know that as a werewolf I am not worthy of her..."

"No!" Tonks raised her hand to stop him from saying the rest, "I only love you as a person."

Gloria felt it was simply outrageous, as if she was so vicious that she wanted to separate the two of them.

"I'm just surprised. You don't have to be like this."

Tonks leaned against Lupin, "Leah, you must come to our wedding. It's a pity that Harry can't come."

Harry is going to spend his last summer vacation at his aunt's house.

"Don't worry." Gloria said, "I will attend. Everything is fine with Harry. I will have to attend a meeting later on whether Hogwarts should be closed."

When it came to business, their expressions became serious.

"I really don't want Hogwarts to close." Tonks couldn't imagine what would happen to the students if the school closed. "I heard that the professors are fighting for the school to continue."

“We’ll all go for it.”

As Gloria finished speaking, Sirius opened the door to the conference room, "Oh - you're already here."

Tonks and Lupin were obviously more embarrassed facing him.

One is a close friend and the other is a niece, and the two seemed to fall in love suddenly.

"To be honest, I don't want to be a best man." Sirius said, "But I will give you my sincerest blessings."

Things have come to this, should we still break them up?

Tonks said: "Given the current situation, we plan to hold a low-key wedding, and we don't think we will need bridesmaids and groomsmen."

Gloria and Sirius did not object. The current situation was indeed the lower the profile, the better.

After the news of Dumbledore's death was announced, wizards all felt a strange calm.

Gloria tapped the table with her index finger. "Is Harry's transfer time confirmed to be unchanged?"

"That's right." Lupin said, "That was decided by Dumbledore before he died. He said that it must be done on that date. Now it seems to be correct. The You-Know-Who has infiltrated the Ministry of Magic. The method of transfer must be changed. The Apparition that was decided before is invalid."

"I will go on that day too." Gloria knew that Dumbledore had told Snape the time and that he would go and tell the secret. It would be very dangerous to move on that day. "I will be seventeen in a few days. Don't treat me like a child."

The three of them looked at each other before nodding. "Okay, we thought about it, and the fireplace and Apparition don't work, so we can only ride a broom. Then we'll find six people to take Polyjuice Potion and turn into Harry, plus Harry himself, for a total of seven. Then the other seven people will each take a different Harry away. Sirius will protect the real Harry. Do you want to turn into Harry?"

"I'd better protect Harry." Gloria didn't want to drink the Polyjuice Potion.

Sirius shook his head. "It would be best if you turned into Harry. Mr. Weasley will escort you then. The Death Eaters all know your strength. If you act in your original form, they will target you."

"Okay." Gloria agreed first. As for who will escort her, she will choose one on the spot. "I have to go to a meeting and try to get Hogwarts to open normally in September."

The directors of Hogwarts were sitting together at this moment. Except for Gloria, the others were all quite old, including both wizards and witches.

Then there is Professor McGonagall, who is now acting headmistress and needs formal appointment from both the school board and the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic also sent two representatives, and a table was full of people.

"I don't think there's any need for Hogwarts to reopen, at least not until the war is over," a school director suggested.

"I object!" a witch said excitedly, "Hogwarts cannot be closed. Even without Dumbledore, the school still has various protective spells, and the Ministry of Magic will not leave the children alone. The more this is the case, the more they cannot stop learning magic!"

Gloria wanted to applaud the lady, which was roughly the same idea as hers.

Professor McGonagall also spoke up, "I agree with Ms. Roland. Besides, there are still many new students waiting to get in touch with the magical world. Even when the You-Know-Who wreaked havoc last time, Hogwarts never thought of closing down."

"Dumbledore was there at that time!"

This is the core of the debate.

At this time, one of the representatives of the Ministry of Magic said: "As a member of the Ministry of Magic, of course we hope that Hogwarts will continue to operate, but parents have expressed concerns about this, especially since the Death Eaters have broken into the school..."

"But they were all caught! Except for that one..." Professor McGonagall didn't want to mention that name, "Dumbledore had already noticed this before he died, and he worked with you to catch the criminal. The students were also gathered in a safe place and no one was injured."

"That is true, but Mr. Dumbledore is no longer around. The parents believe that the success of that night was due to Mr. Dumbledore's sacrifice of his life, and they don't want their children to take risks."

"And then? Hide at home and live?" Gloria said sharply, "Just like Ms. Roland said, times like this are even more important for us to improve our strength. As far as I know, Death Eaters have been active at the border these days, trying to stop wizards from leaving the country, and have even gone deep into the airports of the Muggle world."

The two representatives from the Ministry fell silent.

Gloria continued, "Without Headmaster Dumbledore, there are still me, the professors, and the wizards who are rebelling against You-Know-Who like Dumbledore, or the Ministry of Magic is going to ignore it."

"Of course not." The representative said embarrassedly.

The few school directors who agreed to close Hogwarts looked at each other, but did not dare to speak out.

Professor McGonagall took this opportunity to say, "I and several other school directors agree with Miss Slytherin. Hogwarts should continue to operate."

The two representatives of the Ministry of Magic whispered for a few words before saying, "This needs to be discussed again at the Ministry of Magic, but we will convey your opinions. As students who have graduated from Hogwarts, we all hope that it can continue to teach young wizards."

After they left, several school directors who disagreed with them left the meeting.

Professor McGonagall sighed, "I don't know what the final decision will be."

After Dumbledore's death, she looked much more haggard.

Gloria stood beside her, "Professor McGonagall, we won't give up. Let's continue writing admission invitations to the new students when we return."

"We are already preparing it." Professor McGonagall said, "But I am afraid that the delivery of the letters will be delayed this year."

Who knows how long the Ministry of Magic will finish discussing this.
