"You have a good calculation. I will see her first. Even if she will forgive you, I won't. Her favorite has always been me." The tall old man said maliciously.

These words make everyone present can not help but imagine.

Who is "she" in this population?

Is Dumbledore a lover? What does that have to do with this old man.

It is well known that Albus Dumbledore did not have a wife or heirs in his life, and devoted his entire life to maintaining peace in the wizarding world.

Suddenly someone broke into Dumbledore's memorial service and made a lot of words. It seemed that he was still his "rival in love"?

The news was announced at the funeral.

Maybe it will become the hottest gossip news tomorrow, and it will be the new headline of the Daily Prophet.

"What do you want to do?" Professor McGonagall stood up from his seat and asked, looking at him with eagle-eyed eyes, raising his wand and pointing it at the man. She didn't allow anyone to smear Dumbledore.

Especially at his memorial service.

The others also looked at him hostilely.

Some people in the audience also started to talk, and there were also people who knew this old man. Many of them had been to the Pig's Head Bar, but they didn't know that the owner of the bar had a grudge against Dumbledore.

He ignored it, turned a deaf ear to it, and then walked a few steps closer and kicked the coffin swiftly.

Finally, with a big wave of his hand, he dropped a package made of coarse cloth, slammed it on it, and made a crisp sound of metal collision.

He went on to say gruffly: "These are the money you have paid over the years, I'm not rare."

After speaking, the old man strode away from the auditorium again, and everyone did not stop him.

They are just very difficult to understand, because with Dumbledore's reputation, no one except the evil forces will have such a big hatred with him.

Maybe it was because it was just clothes, and they didn't take any tough behavior towards the old man.

If Dumbledore's body were really here, no matter how slow they reacted, it would be impossible to allow the invader to make such an extraordinary move.

It's just that no one noticed that when the tall figure of the old man reached the end of the path that everyone could see, it had become extremely rickety, and the old man wiped his eyes.

"But what's the use of me doing this? Maybe she will forgive you?" The old man walked to the lake and looked at the endless deep lake with a sigh.

His brother died, and even if he hates him and hates him, Dumbledore will eventually be his last living relative.

Now Aberforth has lost even the sustenance of hatred.

"He's the owner of that nasty pig's head bar, and the one who charged us four silver skewers for a glass of butter beer."

After Aberforth made a big fuss and left, Ron then turned his head and whispered to Harry next to him that he still felt sorry for the old man who had charged him a few extra silver.

Harry nodded numbly, indicating that he was also impressed by him.

After the episode ended, the funeral continued, and the short man continued to recite his eulogy.

And also at this time.

A long-lost visitor ushered in the underground warehouse of Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England, far away from Hogwarts.

The term "visitor" seems inappropriate, because he is the little owner of this manor.

Many waste products were placed in the warehouse. A magic clock made of pure gold was hung against the wall. The faint gilding layer on the pendulum peeled off at some unknown time, leaving only the black paint color.

On the dial, the time is represented by elegantly engraved ancient Roman numerals.

The clock is still running, but the hands are very abnormal.

Every minute, the second hand of the clock shook with a very dry, sour squeaking sound.

Of course it is treated as scrap.

There are also some shabby books rolled up and thrown on the dusty ground.

With the opening and closing of the iron gate, a burst of light flashed from time to time, shining on the dark stone slab, and then a crisp sound of metal impact.

The light shone in and cast a long and narrow shadow.

The owner of the shadow is Draco Malfoy.

He returned to his long-lost home.

Only in the first time, his parents were not found.

Instead, he came to a quiet, underground warehouse that was abandoned for a long time.

Malfoy walked slowly to the corner, and a huge closet stood in front of him.

The corners seemed to be covered with spider webs..

A floor mirror made of copper is placed on one side of the closet.

Malfoy glanced at himself in his glasses.

It has been a long time since he paid attention to his appearance.

The young man in the mirror is still very handsome, his pale face is darker in color, and the stubble is not too clean, but he also has a kind of perseverance and maturity.

The clothes on the body are the most common brown jacket and a pair of hard-wearing jeans.

He didn't know how many wizard robes had been replaced on the way, they were worn out very quickly during the adventure.

In the end, I chose a slightly stronger clothing, because it is also suitable for action, dragging a long robe to adventure in the wild, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good choice.

Not long ago, he came back from a distance.

Because he got a very urgent news.

The wanted force was much smaller, coupled with his current magic skills, he hurried back easily.

He needs to rush to Hogwarts, but entering through the main entrance is not a good choice no matter what he thinks.

He also thought about using the apparition of the house elves, their magic system is different, it is a group of its own, so it can break through the limitations of wizards.

But Malfoy gave up this decision, and the actions of the two always brought some inconvenience.

Except for the person opposite the double-sided mirror, no one knew that he had returned.

"After solving this matter, we should report them peace." Malfoy thought.

In addition to her parents, there is a girl who must be very worried about her safety.

But now is not the time to feel sad.

In a hurry, he then slowly unfolded a roll of some old yellowed parchment, spread it flat on his left hand, and then raised his wand to light up the room.

Malfoy began to observe with the faint light, and he did not miss any part of the map composed of black ink dots.

For example, he now sees Rufus Scrimgeour, the current director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, on his way.

There was also the former Minister of Magic who had been ousted long ago, and now Cornelius Fudge, a wealthy idler, has also become a small black spot on the map of the spot, slowly approaching the Hogwarts auditorium.

Afterwards, his gaze stayed on the long and narrow corridor on the second floor of the castle, where there was no one and no black spots.

It is also the location of Hogwarts' Vanishing Cabinet.

Malfoy stepped into the cabinet until he confirmed that there was no one near the place where the vanishing cabinet was located, and took a deep breath.

A burst of strong pressure from all directions seemed to squeeze him for a moment, and then the strength disappeared in a flash. The wonderful feeling of peeling and shuttle, like a phantom shift, he felt the body become nothingness, and then condensed into shape. , Appeared in Hogwarts in a flash.

Apparition cannot be used on the Hogwarts campus. This is a rule set by the four founders thousands of years ago.

Of course, the maintenance of the rules requires the support of strength, and it is the prohibition they set up together to take effect.

At this time, on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, there were some corridors near the girls' bathroom, and no one would pay attention to a broken cabinet.

In particular, it seemed that there was some danger before. Throw something in it and those things would disappear.

It's just that this is actually a pair of disappearing cabinets..

The one at home has been repaired by Malfoy, and the two cabinets are connected.

However, even if you use the live spot map to carefully observe the surrounding situation.

Unexpected omissions still occurred.

As soon as he stepped out of the cabinet door, Malfoy turned around and immediately closed the vanishing cabinet, then stretched out his wand and cast a confusion and expulsion spell on the vanishing cabinet.

"Confused!"

Returning to the long-lost campus, Malfoy felt a little bit complicated, and some memories unconsciously appeared in his mind.

It's just that now is not a time for hesitation, and there is no extra time to hurt him.

Just when he handled everything and prepared to go to the destination, the accident happened again.

Before stepping out a few steps, I saw a female ghost floating in midair just across from me. She was wearing a plain gray-black robe, with long straight but somewhat dry black hair on her shoulders. A pair of thick glasses leaned against a half-naked mural of a bathing girl on the dark wall.

The female ghost seemed to be taken aback, and then the dull eyes hidden under the glasses stared at him in a daze.

"It seems that my luck is not very good." Malfoy said heartily, shrugging slightly helplessly.

Myrtle should have just floated out of the girl's bathroom, the little black dot that represented her name just now is not here.

"You are... you are the student who ran away at that time last year, my God, I have to tell the professors!" The crying Myrtle seemed to have reacted at this time, screaming loudly There was a look of horror on his face.

Obviously dead, I don't know why she still has such feelings of fear.

Never die again, worse than this, right?

Of course, she might be terrified. There are indeed things in the world that are more terrifying than death.

At this moment, she fell into a state of madness and wanted to flee in a hurry, and the myrtle who was whispering seemed to be frozen in an instant.

It was as if he had been cast a holding spell and stayed in the air.

"Don't think you have no entity, I can't do anything with you. Please be honest and be quiet. This is a win-win decision for us." Malfoy waved his wand and made his own response, and then wept at it. Myrtle warned.

Her spirit body suddenly fell from mid-air, and it seemed to be forcibly wrapped in a dusty armor in the corridor. She had no mouth and could not speak, but she could move. The rusty armor crunched on the ground. The sound, walking on the ground, shaking off the dust on the ground.

In the magic school, it seems that this kind of guard is not unusual, and it may not be very noticeable.

Even if it was discovered, Malfoy should have left at that time.

As for why Malfoy took the risk and went to Hogwarts with the help of the Vanishing Cabinet?

The purpose is a legacy left by Dumbledore.

That is the message from the double-sided mirror.

After solving the trouble of the crying Myrtle, Malfoy speeded up his steps, appeared one after another from the long corridors and spiral stairs before his eyes, and then disappeared.

Because his pace is fast, like a whirlwind.

These places were empty and there was no one.

It is the same as the situation on the live spot map.

Almost everyone gathered in the auditorium, still attending Dumbledore's funeral.

In the auditorium at this time, people were looking solemnly at the coffin in front of them.

Malfoy was running fast in the corridor, his keen eyes staring at the live spot map from time to time, he walked up the stairs, and finally stopped in front of the ugly giant stone monster, in front of his eyes and behind the monster. The dark black stone walls blocked his way.

"Phoenix Tears" Malfoy said softly to the monster, and it suddenly came alive and jumped to the side. The wall behind him split in half, revealing a stone ladder.

He walked up the rotating ladder, and then another door blocked his way.

"Dumbledore!" Malfoy spoke to a brass door knocker in the shape of a lion and eagle before the shiny oak door, and the door was opened again.

I don't know when, two spells were set here to strengthen protection.

Not only downstairs, but also the doorway.

Malfoy needs to come here to take something.

He slowly walked into this spacious circular room and began to look for it.

And in the auditorium at the moment.

Dumbledore's memorial service continued.

Most people look solemn, especially students and teachers. Most of them stare at the coffin with red eyes, while others are sad.

Hermione's eyes are very red now, and her expression is still a little dazed until now, she still can't believe the truth of all this so far.

The kind old man with a smile on his face almost forever, just left them forever.

No one knows where the other side of the curtain is.

A thin silk curtain simply separates the two worlds of Yin and Yang. It is the only visible path to death in the world. No living being can return alive from that place.

Perhaps the symbol behind the curtain is not real death, nobody knows, but for the living, there is no difference.

The living will never see anyone falling into the veil again. How is it different from death?

There are countless black and white wizards who study the soul, trying to summon the dead soul from the world behind the communication veil, but they return without success.

Only by using the Resurrection Stone, the Deathly Hallows that can summon all human souls who die normally, can this limit be barely broken.

But, who can own the resurrection stone?

It was ruined long ago.

What's more, what the Resurrection Stone summons is nothing more than an illusion. After a brief period of gratification and yearning for reunion with loved ones, it will fall into a more desperate sense of emptiness.
