Chapter 474: The Eve of the Funeral

Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Since the afternoon of Christmas Day, the original bright sunshine seems to have forgotten their duties, and it has not been spilled for several consecutive days. ground.

Snow flakes once again pretended to occupy everyone's field of vision, and also occupied everyone's time playing outdoors.

But Maca didn't plan to stay long, there are still many things to do next.Now that you have enjoyed a cheerful friendship, it's time to act.

One week later, it was the public day of Dumbledore's funeral.Whether they were friendly with Dumbledore or not, a large number of wizards were coming one after another, and began to silently mourn the first person of the contemporary white wizard.

Hogsmeade was filled up by these people all at once. Not only was the three broomsticks upstairs full of tenants, but even the pig’s head bar was so messy and messy that there was not even one left. room.

Whether it is day or night, the streets of the village are full of people, and it is not easy to walk normally.

Hogsmeade has become like this, and Hogwarts Castle is naturally not much relaxed.Because of the publicity of the funeral, more people came than Professor McGonagall estimated, and there were indeed many people who were uncomfortable.

Every professor in the school moved, and Maca, a particularly young professor of ancient magic literature, was not immune, and joined the ranks of entertaining guests.

He thought that with his appearance, he would have to spend some saliva when receiving guests.But he soon discovered that his fame seemed to be much greater than expected, and many people already knew him.

But think about it, he has not many trivial matters in the past few years, but he has never stopped major ones. Coupled with the wave of publicity when he received the Merlin Medal last time, most people who should know him will not forget him.

Soon, as the wind and snow outside became bigger and bigger, a few days passed in a hurry.

In the past few days, Maca has seen countless people...

There are representatives of various pure-blood families at home and abroad, as well as excellent wizards of mixed blood or Muggle origin, and of course there are many ordinary wizards who are not famous and have never even heard of them.

There are professors and even principals of major magic schools, representatives of various large and small organizations, and naturally there are members of the International Federation of Wizards.

They all come from different industries, different families and even different countries, but each of them will say "sorrow", and each of them will express feelings for Dumbledore's life, and they are also grateful for Dumbledore's existence.

Each of them interprets everything Dumbledore has done, and also shows Dumbledore's magnificent life that is hard to comment on in words.

Even if the body is dead, some people are more dazzling than those who are still alive. This is Albus Dumbledore.

Maca didn't know how many people felt this, at least he really felt it.Although he has never pursued this kind of life surging in the crowd, he can't help but sigh for it.

And just in the evening before the funeral, another huge carriage flew towards Hogwarts Castle.It was dragged by more than a dozen huge rune horses, their silver wings spread lightly and landed on the edge of the forbidden forest.

Immediately, Mrs. Maxim, who hadn't seen her for a long time, walked out of the carriage and hugged Hagrid intimately.

Almost at the same time, the delegation of the British Ministry of Magic arrived, including the current Minister Rufus Scrimgeour.And along with their group, there is unexpectedly the president of the International Wizarding Federation-the famous African wizard Babajid Akinbad.

These two guests are coming, naturally there is no surprise.But if they come together, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

Several members of the International Wizarding Federation had arrived first a few days ago, thinking that the incumbent Akinbad would choose to avoid suspicion.

After Fudge, the last minister of the British Ministry of Magic, was over, all discerning people could see that something was wrong.

But Maca felt a little bit in his heart.

The two of them were probably not suspected—Dumbledore had told him that day before and after the Merlin Medal award ceremony.Therefore, even if they are walking together, it may not be a bad thing.

Compared with these two "official" figures, Maca is more concerned about another matter...

"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you when I left the Burrow? This funeral ceremony is more for outsiders, and it is destined to be uneven. You better not come over!"

Outside the crowded auditorium, Maca frowned and looked at Harry and the others, which gave him a headache.

Fortunately, Luna was more obedient. He really stayed in her home if he said not to come; while Hermione was relatively more sensible. She knew it was useless if she came, so she didn't show up in school today.

"Maca, we can't just sit at home!" Harry stubbornly said, "I know a lot of things will happen today, but when I think of the professors and you, they are all working hard for Hogwarts. How can you spend your time sitting in the Burrow, playing cards and chess?"

"...Yes." Ron followed with a grunt.

He didn't seem to be as determined as Harry, but now that he came, he actually agreed to this action in his heart.

"Oh..." Maca said helplessly, "Where is Hermione? Since you are here, she is probably here too, right?"

But to Maca's surprise, Harry immediately shook his head.

"Ron and I will come over this time. Hermione will not agree." He whispered. "She sent us a letter two days ago telling us that we should come over on impulse... So today, we didn't tell her. ."

Maca froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Ron.

"She won't come, and we don't want her to come—" Ron said in a more determined tone this time. "It is enough for us to be stupid. There is no need for her to be forced to follow us on the adventure."

"You have made up your mind today to use your own life for psychological comfort?" Maca said unceremoniously, then waved his hand. "Hurry back! Hogwarts will definitely use you in the future. Yes, but definitely not now-don't you understand the truth?"

"We won't go back!" Harry insisted. "Didn't you say that in the orchard that day? Written knowledge is far less important than actual practice-I think this principle is also universal when it comes to fighting black magic!"

"Usually training is far less important than actually facing it." Ron also added.

"Yes," Harry nodded and continued, "Furthermore, Professor Dumbledore once said-death is just another great adventure-this is not what you conveyed to us for the professor Is it?"

Having said that, he paused, then looked directly at Maca and said: "I know, it’s too early to understand Dumbledore's words based on our two abilities! But if we don’t face it, wait until we truly When we need to face death, how can we comprehend the truth?"

I have to say that Harry's words really made it to the point.

Maca has always been deliberately trying to protect these friends, not wanting them to encounter too many crises.But letting them hide in shelter every time will not usher in real growth.

He is not clear about this, but it is difficult to let go.

Not to mention the boys like Harry and Ron, at least the girls like Luna, Hermione, and Willie, he couldn't help shielding them from the wind and rain.

In some respects, he may be a cruel person who can get his heart out; but in other respects, he is actually very easy to relent.That's why he always laughed at himself, saying that he was just an ordinary person.

Like Dumbledore, he also loved Harry, the courageous lion cub, just as he loved other little wizards.But when necessary, he could even ask Harry to die last time to ensure that he could live more safely in the future.

If it was changed to Maca, he would not be able to do this at all.

Facing Harry's argument and Ron's silent support, Maca rarely hesitated.

These two former classmates and current friends, although their abilities are indeed not enough to deal with most of the difficulties, he can feel their courage and responsibility.

As they grew older over the years, their bodies gradually became as tall as their own, and Ron was even half his head taller than him.

Probably because of his own guidance and advice, the red-haired boy's personality has gradually drifted away from the occasional gloomy appearance in his impression, and his courage and persistence have slowly begun to appear.

On the contrary, Harry, under the influence of his series of actions, has obviously slowed down his growth.It's rare that he showed boldness this time, and he really shouldn't stop it.

But danger is danger after all. Not only Voldemort is far from the Voldemort in his distant memory, but even Greenward has also mixed in, plus the so-called "guilt" that confused even him. The situation has long changed. Got even more chaotic.

Under this situation, Harry and Ron's courage seemed too small, and they could only be described by a flame in a blizzard.

Can this single spark engulf the plain?Even with this possibility, Maca is not a gambler who can bet on everything.

"……follow me."

You can't be a gambler, but the dealer can still be.Whether you win or lose, if you can think of a way to keep your chips, it won't be impossible for the two of them.

"There is still a whole night before tomorrow. Whether you can stay or not is up to you." Maca said softly as he walked, "I know you want to make a contribution, but if this force doesn't work, then What's the difference?" Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
