Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 2116 Glory Sacrifice
The atmosphere in the living room became more and more dull.
This is because just now, after Arthur stopped Lu Ping with that "wait", he said something that made everyone present feel heavy.
"Percy's thing... it should have happened for some time? Then I think... I probably already understand why you have to hide from me and Molly. Yes! Remus, your approach is That's right... So, let me forget about it, but Molly must never know about this!
This is what Arthur said just now.
To be honest, it doesn't seem to be special at first, but if you think about it further-what selfless spirit is necessary to say "I will forget it" shortly after the news of his son's death!
There is no doubt that although Arthur has graduated from Hogwarts for many years, the raging flame in his heart called Gryffindor has never been extinguished.
He knows very well that under this disaster, the overall situation is more important than personal affairs.
After a long silence, Arthur seemed to have lost his strength, sat on the sofa with a dejected face, and then lowered his head slightly weakly:
"Remus, you seemed to say... Percy was "sacrifice"? What else... "defensive war"? Can you tell me more about it?"
"of course."
Lupin nodded, then moved his head towards Kingsley and motioned:
"Go to the door and stare... Also, see where the guy Sirius has gone!"
He had originally asked Sirius to guard at the door, but he did so mainly to have some defense when Arthur and Molly came over.Who knows, he was obviously still there when Luna and Molly entered the house before, but when Arthur came in the end, Sirius was gone.
However, Sirius is certainly not such an irresponsible person, or rather, he is the kind of man who values appointments with friends very much.Suddenly leaving right now... probably for a reason.
And at this moment, Luna, who had been standing by and watching since just now, suddenly raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction:
"If Sirius, it seems to be over there!"
"Huh?" Kingsley and Lupin subconsciously turned their heads along her arm, and then they heard the latter frown, "over there... is my room?"
"Maybe another secret letter has arrived?" Kingsley also stunned, then said, "Then I will go find him first...Miss Lovegood, can you help me stare at the door for the time being? That's... If Mrs. Weasley comes, just remember to say hello to her loudly."
"Oh, yes!"
Luna nodded, and followed Kingsley away from here, and walked to the door.
At the same time, after all these things were arranged, Lupin told Arthur who was full of grief little by little about the causes and consequences of Percy's death.Although he didn't know everything himself, especially the specific details of the Weymouth defense at the time, he still stated almost everything he could tell the opponent in an orderly manner.
In the whole process of Lupin's statement, Arthur didn't speak again, he just carved every word of Lupin into the bottom of his heart without saying a word.
After a while, when Lupin finished all the content, Arthur took a long sigh, and finally a faint gleam in his previously dim eyes.
"That's it," he sighed lightly. "So, at least we can say that Percy's sacrifice is extremely glorious and worthy of pride for my father...Is that so?"
"That's natural." Lu Ping heard the words and nodded affirmatively. "Even if Percy's contribution to resisting Helbo and resisting this disaster is not mentioned for the time being, it is only because of his last persistence that he saved it. The life of a large number of supporters, wizards, is enough for many people to remember his name."
Speaking of which.He couldn't help but pause for a while, then added specifically:
"In fact, a large part of the hands of the Harry Na child who went to the Burrow from Cherbourg’s camp this time was thanks to Percy and stood up voluntarily to respond to Hermione and Ron’s Called!"
Obviously, Lupin's last words were actually thought up by him. After all, as the only Luna who has knowledge of the recent operation, she had never mentioned such details with Lupin before.
But... if it's just used to soothe Arthur's heart, like this kind of insignificant white lie, a sentence or two doesn't seem to matter.
"is it?"
Sure enough, after Arthur heard it, he couldn't help closing his eyes slightly, leaning against the back of the sofa and slightly raising his head.Not long after, a drop of crystal, which was not so conspicuous, slipped quietly from the wrinkles and gullies that had already appeared at the corner of his eyes.
After a few seconds passed, Arthur wiped the back of his hand casually, and then sat up straight again, turning his head to look at Lupin who was sitting beside him.
"Has his... body been found?" Arthur said very seriously, "still at Weymouth Port? Or is it already brought back to Cherbourg's camp?"
The question he asked immediately made Lupin hesitate again.However, after witnessing Arthur's selflessness and firmness at this time, he felt that there was no need to hide this question from him anymore.
"It's in the Burrow," Lupin replied, "Harry and the others have sent Percy to the Burrow for burial-according to Miss Lovegood, this seems to be one of Percy's last wishes. In fact, just after they arrived in the Burrow in a group not long ago, they held a simple funeral and buried Percy."
"Wish...this silly boy." Arthur shook his head and sighed. "So, does he have any other wishes?"
"Well, oh—"
Lu Ping couldn't help but sighed slightly:
"To say'other wishes'...I think that is probably the reason why the children would choose to establish a new base in the Burrow?"
At this point, the two finally seemed to have no idea of continuing to talk, and both closed their mouths.Soon, it became quiet again.
However, not long afterward, the return of Sirius and Kingsley broke the rather depressing silence here again.
Sirius was seen taking strides and rushing into the living room.After subconsciously glanced at Arthur, although he immediately frowned because he noticed the strange atmosphere here, he immediately turned his head and looked at Lupin's side.
"Remus, it's a letter from Professor McGonagall!"
